Low Cost
We keep our costs down by matching what you need with the level of expertise you require. You don’t pay for 20 year website design veterans with advanced skills unless you want a special website that requires advanced skills. It’s our experience that a professional and beautiful design can be created at a fraction of the cost by employing newer designers. This is partly because the technology has made designing a website easier and more intuitive. Website creation no longer requires the amount of training it once did. An added benefit to hiring those newer in the trade is their education is more recent and they are often more aware of latest design trends.
Benefiting from Trends
Here at Active Content Creation we are taking advantage of the advances that are being made on a daily basis. The website design landscape has changed incredibly even in the last
year. It is difficult for many companies to keep pace as they have so much invested in the old way of doing business. Reluctance to let go is understandable given the revenue they stand to lose by making changes like implementing open source technology. Active Content Creation does not face that problem as we are a new company formed with a single mission: To
know and give our clients access to the latest trends in website technology and advances as soon as they are being adopted by the web culture. We believe a company’s willingness and ability to embrace and utilize the enormous benefits offered through online communication is the number one predictor of future success. Active Content Creation wants to be your
conduit to the living internet and be a part of your company’s future.
We specialize in working with small businesses who want a big website without a big fee.
Beyond Marketing
We are taking a fresh approach to internet website design aimed at a holistic structure capable of doing so much more than marketing your products and services. We know that if your website isn’t the primary portal to your business for you, your employees and your clients, it will be someday. All of us must stand in awe of what we can do today on our computers that we couldn’t do before. The pace of change is so fast we don’t even notice how quickly things are advancing. Many things are possible on the net that weren’t possible even a month ago. . We can access, interact and effect complex data on any subject we can imagine all reported to us in any manner we require. Not only that, but we can share it. This is allowing us to happily eliminate many repetitive tasks by streamlining and sharing information via the internet. For instance, we no longer need to re-enter data every time it is needed. Instead, we simply import it from somewhere else. We no longer need to write and mail a check, we simply tell the bank to automatically mail one for us. Not everyone is passionate about finding software that makes our lives easier but here at Active Content Creation, we are passionate about new solutions. We get excited when we find a great new Firefox plugin or when Google Analytics improves its interface. Every company needs a friend who knows what you want and can enjoy offering you free and easy solutions.
It Doesn’t have to Be Hard
Active Content Creation knows, however, that even the cleverest innovation and the most time saving technology requires time to set up, learn, implement and integrate. We recognize that many companies do not have the resources to make changes, no matter how beneficial the outcome. It is our task to spot the things that are really easy to implement and really helpful to have, (for instance a form on your site that collects potential client information) and to advise you without allowing all the choices to overwhelm your company’s present capacity.
We Love Databases
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of internet is the integration of communication with data. Here at Active Content Creation we love databases!
Affordable because we are utilize the latest open-source technology and pass on the savings to you.
Beauty and Functionality
We understand that our focus is to simplify your business by creating a living website that is all about usefulness and simplicity. Our goal is to build a website that represents your company and that can be supported by the skills and staff you already have. Active Content Creation loves beautiful design but we don’t think designers always make the best decisions when it comes to business needs. That’s why we rely on the vast knowledge you and your company have of your industry. We are experts at asking the kind of specific questions that allow us to apply your company’s depth of knowledge to a website. You and your people know your requirements, customers and industry far better than we do, know. Active Content Creation is all about making the most of the knowledge and resources a company already has. Additionally, we strive to involve the people at the company in the design which makes people more likely to feel some ownership in the site and more likely to contribute to it as well. This approach makes the site more reflective of the company it represents and is more likely to be used as an integral part of the company’s business activities.
We Give You Freedom
Many designers in the past have created internet sites in such a way that makes you dependent on them. It’s easy to do this because the internal workings of a site’s functionality can be quite unique. So much so that if you want to make a change to the site you need to go through (and pay) the designer. This leaves you in a vulnerable position which we suspect makes some business owners uncomfortable. We will design your site in such a way that if you want to go with another website design company in the future (although we hope you won’t) you will be able to do so easily. This, we believe, is a huge benefit because:
- Won’t need to call us and go through any uncomfortable explanations.
- Will already own the site, the domain names, content, images, logos and other design resources.
- Will have all the passwords and keys necessary.
- Will be the named contact for the hosting service.
- Will be able to make changes and additions to your site without needing to go through us (although we will be happy to do this for you if you choose)
- Receive the entire package of your website information and resource files (passwords, keys, google analytic id’s, special links and other unique aspect of your site) when we complete the project.
What is more, we mount your site on the best known content management system in the business so any designer who comes in after us will be very familiar with the platform and be able to quickly begin implementing design or content changes without needing to start form scratch or disrupting the aspects of the site that are still working. Some companies need a complex website with a full design package deliverable on a national level. They may want a comprehensive branding package that includes business consultation, professionals in design impact studies and top-notch marketing research. Other companies already possess substantial knowledge and resources which they want applied to website marketing as effectively as possible.
