Spike Likes web site design and development

Our Web Sites are Hand-Cut & Hand-Coded

We've banned FrontPage and any other WYSIWYG editor, taking pride in the hand-woven quilt like code our web projects are based upon. Our code is stable and devoid of any garbagey extraneous tags which allows for speedy download times ultimately providing faster and less frustrating experiences for your audience.

Do You Already have a Web Site?

When was the last time you checked your code? Just because your audience can't see the code, doesn't mean it shouldn't be just as beautifully and intelligently developed as the visible design.

The Continued Reliance Upon CSS

An aspect of streamlined clean code is the heavy use of Cascading Style Sheets which our company has integrated as a standard practice. CSS makes web sites easier to maintain and update for both a client and a webmaster. CSS lends a hand in accelerating page download times and allows search engines to find the content of your pages faster.

Intelligent Web Architecture

We will work with your in-house marketing team to develop a better flow plan if you have an existing web site that needs a redesign, or develop a flow plan for your company if you do not have a web site. We'll help you with navigational nomenclature, provide visuals to illustrate how the new site will function, determine what your site's action items are and make them easily accessible and interesting to your audience...so they get noticed—and clicked.

Effective, Logical Web Usability/UI

We Use the Latest W3 Consortium Browser, Platform, Display
& Color Depth Statistics to Gauge How Your Site Should be Developed

During the pre-development stage, we will ask questions about how you and your personnel view web sites, who your target audience is and what type of technology they will be using to access your web site. Depending on the answers you provide us, we will discuss our recommendations with you on how the site should be built.

Why are web statistics important?

Web statistics play an significant role in determining how a web site should be built. We gather information about how your audience may view your site and design according to those specifications. This does not mean there are set boundaries for design specs., it's more like aiming for the best range and trying to capture viewing scenarios that apply to your web site.

Here's an example: a site constructed to target a teen audience in the UK using outdated Mac's with OS Way-Old.0 on a 28.8K dial-up would be created differently than a web site built to attract New York business executives operating new Dell notebooks on a T-1 connection. Another example would be an news web site meant to inform a massive home-based audience vs. a site designed for an aggressive biotech company.
