My Web Design Work

Our Services and Website Process

Design

We design the entire website based around your goals. All of our websites start out on paper and work their way to the computer screen. We like to include you in this process and communicate each step to receive comments and approval. This allows us to make any changes and ensure the finished product is what you want.

Coding

After we have a finished graphic product we start coding the website. We always use valid XHTML and CSS, which means our sites will work properly no matter what browser or computer is loading them. It also allows for future modifications to be completed much easier. As most of our sites are interactive, we continue to include you in this process and when we finish certain areas of the site we will communicate it with you.

Testing & Optimization

Once the site has been coded we go back and test everything making sure it is working as it should. We also take extra attention to optimizing the site for search engines like Google. When the finished product is unveiled, we take pride in knowing that it is 100% complete and error free.

Maintenance & Tracking

After a site is completed it is important to update it regularly and keep track of the visitors that are coming to the site. Updating it often will help it in ranking high in the search engines as well as give more reasons for visitors to return to the site. Knowing the who, what, when, where, and how visitors are reaching your site helps in many ways. It allows you to know what is working and what isn’t, what parts of the site are getting the most attention, and how to tweak your site into better meeting your goals. Red Key Designs can help you with both.

WordPress

Red Key Designs is a strong believer in WordPress and have worked hard to be specialized in it. WordPress is known as a blogging platform, but it can be used for so much more, including use as a Content Management System (CMS). A CMS allows sites to be updated much easier than conventional, static HTML pages.
