Web Design & Development
Does your business need a digital face-lift? We offer solutions for most businesses, whether you just need a simple company profile or a turn key e-commerce website with 100's of products. With the platforms and community extension support available today, we can offer you a customized and managed website for very reasonable prices.
Optimization
We know what it takes to be recognized on the internet - what most in the business call SEO (Search Engine Optimization). We know that SEO starts even before the website is built. It starts with a proper platform that will "talk" with the search engines the way it should, so that the search engines know what your website is about. We also need to take a good look at what your business is about to find your target market. Once we know who your market is, we can develop your site so that this market can find your website easier. The latter part of this is known as keyword research. Implementing these targeted keywords and phrases throughout your site will help your rankings for your target market.
Usability = Conversions
However, it doesn't matter if you're at the top 10 of all your keywords - if none of your visitors are converting. The website must be designed with usability in mind. It must be easy to navigate so that the customer knows their way around. It must always have a call to action so that the customer knows what to do next - the "Verbs". For instance, prominent verbs on Ebay.com are Search, Buy, Sell, and Register. The customer knows exactly what to do in the least amount of time. We have researched website eye-tracking studies that show exactly how a person's eyes react to a new webpage in the first seconds it lands on the page. We know how to properly lay out websites so that customers will know exactly what to do. This increases conversions, or "calls to action" - be it ordering a product, picking up the phone to call, signing up for your service, etc. Steve Krug put it best with the title of his web usability book "Don't Make Me Think". Usability simply means making a website intuitive to all users, and is a major key in a successful website.
E-Commerce - The Digital Marketplace
E-Commerce designs are built on Magento, an award winning platform that offers the latest and greatest features to be a complete solution for businesses that sell products online. Not only can customers order securely online, but you can also place orders on the back-end through the administrator panel.
Through this administrator panel, the administrator can also control every aspect of orders, products, price rules, tax rules, shipping rules, and much much more. With the ability to run reports including profit-loss and product trending, Magento can serve as a complete solution to run your online business. It can even be synced with your Quickbooks and other ERP/accounting software that you may use.
Shipping charges can be calculated automatically at checkout through FedEx, UPS, and USPS Gateways. Configure these charges based on weight, destination and price, as well as handling charges. Tax rate rules can be set up based on ZIP codes or State.
Sign up with a merchant account with retailers like MerchantPlus.com and Authorize.net, and have credit cards verified and processed automatically when an order is submitted on your website through the Authorize.net Gateway. Payments from these merchant accounts usually post to your bank account within 2 business days.
Magento has a busy community of both open-source and commercial users that create themes and other additions to enhance the Magento core platform. What this means for you is that quite likely what you need, someone has already created. This means it will cost much less for you than creating it from scratch, but you will still have a one-off web design.
There are too many features to list here. Visit the Magento Administrator Demo and let us know if you have any questions.

Content Management System
A content management system (CMS) can be used for anything from a simple company profile (such as this website) to a large company that needs to offer a full customer support center with lots of documents, instruction manuals, etc. Our CMS of choice is Joomla. This is veteran of the CMS world with a very busy community.
This means there are many options for creating a quality website that is both cost-effective and cheaper to create. Create stunning interactive websites with CSS3-powered navigation (layman: really cool menu bars), image galleries, embedded video, streaming podcasts and RSS feeds, social media integration, online games, and more. You can even have your website snow when its Christmas, or have fireworks on the 4th of July. Joomla does it all.
Another great thing is that Joomla is very intuitive to use from the administrator back-end, so that even you or your employees can log in and add an article or new pictures to your website.

Blogs
Whether you need to integrate a blog into your Company website or a stand-alone blog, we can fix you up. The blog platform of choice is WordPress. Again, with a very busy community, WordPress support and service grows by the day and isn't going away anytime soon. WordPress has all the features that a professional blog needs, with the ability to enhance these features with other add-ons and themes. If you are adding a blog to your company website, we may be able to offer you the same design for both the Company homepage and blog. As you can see here at Damian.mx, our main website and blog look the same, yet they are on completely different platforms. Damian.mx runs on Joomla CMS, while Damian.mx/blog is on WordPress. There are a few companies that create both Joomla and WordPress themes, and they release the themes as a set for this very purpose.

Forums
Take Customer Support a step further with a Support Forum. Let your customers create an account and post questions on a public forum so that their questions can be answered not only by your staff but the community as well. Of course, you will have administrator control to moderate the conversations. The platform we recommend is phpBB. Click to view the demo.
