We use Cutting Edge Technologies to Build High Quality and User Friendly Websites
"Programming" refers to the actual coding and backend creation of the site, using different development tools. At Soft Novel we are using CakePHP and JQuery frameworks to ensure high quality development and don't waste time rewriting those components that have been done many times before. A major part of our development process is checking cross-browser and platform compatibility so that your website appears correctly to all viewers. We base our development plan on current and future design standards, ensuring maximum viewer compatibility, and extending the "life" of your website. We can offer you both XHTML/CSS and Flash/XML Websites.
Here's what you get with a Custom XHTML/CSS Website.
Custom Site Design
Includes color palette, graphic art, page layout, global navigation, content organization, and imagery.
Can be based on corporate branding or identity.
Identity Integration
If applicable, we'll integrate your corporate branding, including colors, logo, slogan, etc.
If you do not have a logo, we use stylized fonts to display your name or company name.
Or, you may be interested in having us design your logo as well.
Royalty-Free Imagery
Often times, royalty free photos and imagery can enhance your website by adding a personal touch and a
professional appearance. Royalty-free photos work great for flash header images, and background images.
Up to 8 Informational Pages
Our base price includes up to 8 informational pages. Informational pages can be considered "static",
in that they are not interactive pages, such as form pages, gallery pages, etc.
Custom Email Forms with Optional CAPTCHA (applies to Linux Hosted Servers only)
Email forms are a great way to gather important information from your viewers, and to provide a stable method
of contacting you. Providing just an email address could result in viewer emails going into your spam folder,
making it would appear that you didn't respond to their needs. Messages sent from website forms are less
likely to go to your spam, because they are sent from the same server. So long as your own website url is
not in your spam folder, you will receive all viewer emails.
Our email forms include optional CAPTCHA (anti-spam verification code), database storage, confirmation email,
custom error page, and custom confirmation page.
XML / Flash Headers or Galleries
Flash is a great way to liven up a standard CSS website. We recommend our Flash/XML headers and photo
galleries for use with suitable sites. Flash/XML headers are an easy way to add a little interactivity
and freshness to your site.
Limited Organic SEO
We optimize every website for search engine recognition. This includes effective meta tags, priority XHTML
tags, valid XHTML code and more. We also offer a Comprehensive SEO and SEM service, for those looking for the
maximum organic search engine exposure.
Standardized, Valid Code
Your site will be developed using web standards, ensuring a longer life, and a higher compatibility rate.
We check out sites using code validation tools to ensure our standardized coding is correct, with no syntax
errors. Search engines also prefer clean, well-structured, valid code that does not contain the useless
"spaghetti code" generated by most content management systems and WYSIWYG editors.
Up to Four Unique Design Concepts
Based on your input, our base pricing includes up to four separate design concepts. Additional concepts are
available at a cost dependent on the complexity of the project.
Here's what you get with a Flash Website.
Custom Site Design
Includes color palette, graphic art, page layout, global navigation, content organization, and imagery.
Can be based on corporate branding or identity.
Identity Integration
If applicable, we'll integrate your corporate branding, including colors, logo, slogan, etc.
If you do not have a logo, we use stylized fonts to display your name or company name.
Or, you may be interested in having us design your logo as well.
Royalty-Free Imagery
Often times, royalty free photos and imagery can enhance your website by adding a personal touch and a
professional appearance. Royalty-free photos work great for flash header images, and background images.
Up to 6 Informational Pages
Our base price includes up to 8 informational pages. Informational pages can be considered "static",
in that they are not interactive pages, such as form pages, gallery pages, etc.
Flash Transition, Sound FX, Sound Loops, and more
Flash websites have all the bells and whistles. Each "section" can have animated transitions, fades,
and more. Rollover buttons can have animations, and sound effects. The site as a whole can include an mp3
player or "juke box", playing your personal selections.
