Different is Good
Services need clients. Your business thrives on advertising. Simply put, a client can't hire you if they don't know you exist. It's only a matter of how you get noticed. Dollar for dollar, few things give you a return on investment like internet marketing. The battle is often lost or won before your phone ever rings.
Crimson Web Design focuses on elevating your public presence. Our services maximize your profits with minimal investment. The approach is straightforward on your side. It is a relationship based on communication, loyalty, and true teamwork. Behind the scenes we put our expertise in coding to work. Our services deliver robust web sites that are as technically sound as they are beautiful.

Focus on the details
At Crimson, we believe you are the vital component to a web site you love. Our work is done when you're happy. So we start with what will bring a smile to your face.
It all starts with vision. Keep reading.
No time to read all the stuff below? It's cool.
Business Interview
These few questions are where we start. Some are surprised when they have to take a minute to think on these.
- What does your business do? This question is so simple it can be hard.
- Who is your target audience? Hint: The answer shouldn't be "people". For one, we think giraffes might enjoy your web site too, but that's not the point.
- How is your product or service different than the competition? This is key because there are probably lots of businesses that do what you do. But no one does it exactly how you do it.
- What is your vibe? This is the feel you want for your site. It should match your business. We can even help you create that vibe.
- What is the goal of your site? Yeah, more money, we get it. We'll work on the details together.
Site Interview
Next we'll get down to what the site offers.
- Do you already have a registered domain and hosting for your site? If so, we can work with it. If you don't, we can provide it.
- How many pages do you want?
- What are those pages? We can make suggestions here.
- Do you need a logo designed or do you have one? If you have one, does it need redesigned for modern web sites?
- What are your signature colors?
- How interactive is the site? For example, will you be selling products, making appointments, or ordering online?
- What is the time frame for the site? Is there a deadline you are trying to meet? We will do our best to work with you.
- Who will be our contact for the work? This is the person who has the vision for the site and can actually make decisions for it.
Service Agreement
Then there's the grown-up stuff.
- Based on the information you give us, we will deliver a free estimate to you. This is usually done on our first call.
- The invoice amount can vary. It depends on things like the complexity of site design, premium photos to give it your desired look, our coding time, and so forth. But we don't want any surprises for you so we'll get you the final figure up front.
- We'll work with you on payment. There will be some upfront investment but we can also spread much of it out over time. We know money is a factor but we don't want it to stop you from having the site you want and deserve.
Whee! Web site design!
Build it and they will come? Only if you build it right.
We will.
- We will begin working on your site immediately. We'll get your hosting set up (if needed) then get your logo just right for you. Next will come shaping the look and feel for the site. More time often goes into design than coding because each site is unique. We intend to get it right.
- We'll deliver a draft of the home page. This is the most important page because it is the first thing visitors will see.
- Once you're happy with the home page we will design the other pages. These are usually similar in design to the home page so this part often goes faster.
- We will include interactive functionality for the site. This is where things like e-commerce comes in.
- Once you're happy with the site we'll do basic SEO (search engine optimization) for it. This will be the background techie stuff that makes search engines happier with your site. Additional SEO services are very labor intensive but they can, and should, be added to make your site list well on search engines. After all, that's kind of the point.
- We will continue to provide basic update services for the life of the service agreement. This will include things like mandatory coding updates to keep your site functional.
- Voila! Your site is already working on your behalf. Day and night around the world, we help the right people discover your business. More visitors = more revenue = Success! That's a formula we can get behind!
Loyalty
We keep talking about loyalty because it's the foundation of Crimson Web Design. We truly believe that success comes from good people working together for the greater good. It's so old-fashioned it's almost cliche. But it's true.
We want you to be more than a client. We want to be more than your vendor.
We hope to forge a lasting relationship built on loyalty, communication, honesty, and respect. It excites us to imagine a world where those qualities are not only remembered but embraced. Be the hero of this story.
