Web Design / Development Services

Unlike most web site design companies, we do not give our customers the false impression that we can do everything. Our web design services do not include logo designs, flash animations, illustrations, videos, audio creation/editing and multimedia presentations like most web design studios. We only have one main web design service - The design of web site interfaces. However, we also take wonderful product pictures for the internet and some basic photo editing/enhancement.

We are more of a web development studio than a web design studio. We specialize in the “technical work” of the web site creation process, which includes XHTML, CSS, MySQL database design, PHP, content management systems (CMS), custom PHP script programming and search engine optimization of web pages.

We may not have the best web page designers to create the flashy web designs. What we can offer you instead is a reasonably cool looking web site that is easy to use, fast loading, web standards compliant, cross-browser compatible and search engine friendly.

Web Design

Our web page designs are simple, direct and functional. We do not believe in being fancy for the sake of it. We prefer to look cool and be functional at the same time. Our web sites have clean designs with a consistent look and feel, are very user friendly to use and they work without requiring the visitor to think. As a result, we can offer you affordable web site design rates because our web sites are simpler to create.

WordPress Templates & Plugins

We build most of our web sites with WordPress, which is considered one of the best, if not the best platform for creating blogs and web sites by internet marketers all over the world. It is very simple to use and you will be able to update your own content and add blog posts or news to your own web site without knowing any web development skills like HTML.

• Conversion of a Normal Web Site or Non-WordPress Blog into WordPress - We can help you transform your existing web site to the WordPress platform and have all your content imported to WordPress. Furthermore, we will redirect all your old web pages to your new WordPress web site so that you won’t lose any traffic.
• Custom WordPress Templates - Do you need a unique WordPress theme for your web site? We have a deep understanding of the WordPress template system and we can make WordPress look and work better than how it works out of the box.
• Custom WordPress Plugins - We create and customize existing WordPress plugins to meet your needs. Let us know your plugin idea and we work together to supercharge your WordPress web site.
• Customize WordPress as a CMS - If we didn’t put the “Powered by WordPress” notice at the bottom of this web site, you might not even know we are running on WordPress. WordPress was designed to be a blogging system in the beginning. However, it has evolved to be much more than a blog. With some clever editing of the templates and use of the WordPress pages, you could get WordPress to work as a very simple but highly functional CMS.

XHTML/CSS Templates

Our templates are built with valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional or XHTML 1.0 Strict code and they are guaranteed to work on Internet Explorer 6/7/8, Firefox 2/3, Opera 9 and Safari 3.

• Adobe Photoshop PSD to XHTML/CSS - It is not surprising that the best web page designer you know has little or no skills in web development. If you are a web designer, you could use some web development help from us to turn your designs into web pages. Just give us the Photoshop PSD file of your web page design and we will come up with the XHTML/CSS template. This frees up your time to focus on the activities you are good at and enjoy.
• HTML to XHTML/CSS - Is your web site running on outdated HTML code? Let us help you convert it to the conform to the latest web standards.

Online Sales Letter Templates

Although we do not do copywriting, we can help you with your online sales letter by creating the design and adding your copywriting to the template for you. Furthermore, we could also create squeeze pages (newsletter opt-in pages) and integrate your online sales letters with any newsletter or payment system.

Search Engine Optimization

There are 2 main aspects of search engine optimization - “On Page” and “Off Page”. All of our work is “On Page” search engine optimized, which means the HTML code and content is configured in a search engine friendly way. What that means for you is you do not have to know how to do search engine optimization to have an optimized web site if you get us to create your web site.

“Off Page” search engine optimization generally refers to the promotion work of your web site like link building, press releases, directory submissions and other methods. We are sorry to inform you that we do not provide any services for this at the moment.

PHP / MySQL

• Installation of PHP Scripts - We can install almost all types of PHP scripts for you. Some PHP scripts were not designed for non-techies to install and if you have any problems with any PHP script, let us know about it and we shall see if we can help you out.
• Customization of PHP Scripts - If you have an existing PHP script that needs some custom work done on it, let us know what you require and we will work out a solution with you.

Web Hosting

We do not have web servers of our own but we use a very reliable reseller web host for our customers’ web sites. This is completely optional and we recommend that all customers invest in an excellent web host and learn to manage their own web sites rather than outsourcing it. However, we understand that some people do not have the time or inclination to learn how to do it as it is not as simple as it seems. We are here to help you so that you may concentrate on the your core business activities.

• Cheap Web Hosting - Our web hosting rates start at only USD $10.00 per month on a web host with 4 GB storage space, 60 GB monthly transfer limit, unlimited FTP/Email/MySQL accounts and cPanel control panels.
• Uptime Monitoring and Backups - We can help you monitor your web site an only USD $15.00 per month, which includes 15 minute monitors on your HTTP, MySQL, STMP and POP3 services. We will be updated via SMS and email should there be any problem with your web site. We will work with our web host to remedy any errors with their web servers to ensure that your web sites are up and running as much as possible. Furthermore, we shall do our own backups of your web site (including the MySQL database if any) on our own backup computers in the event of a hardware failure or a hack by some malicious hacker. Please note that our uptime monitoring service does not include the maintenance of your web site’s content.
• Moving of Web Host - Sometimes we sign up for a web host and find out they are absolutely terrible only after a few months. Moving your web site and making sure everything works can be a very tough and troublesome process. We have done lots of web host migrations and we know how to move your web site with minimal fuss.

Product Shots

If you plan to sell your products online, you need very clear photographs of your products. Photos with a lot of background clutter and terrible contrast just won’t cut it. We take product photographs in a white light tent to create a “floating” effect, which looks great on web pages.

• Photo Taking of Your Products (Only Available in Singapore) - We have the equipment and know-how to take beautiful photos of your products like the samples above. The only drawback is we require you to bring us some of your product samples to our office.
• Photo Retouching of Your Products - If you already have some pictures of your products but they don’t look very good, send them to us and we shall attempt to enhance them. However, we need to see the original photos to determine if we can retouch it to a reasonably good state.
