Web Design Services
Think you can't afford a web site? The reality is, you probably can't afford not to have one. In today's increasingly connected world, the internet is often the first place people check when looking for a restaurant, service, product or information. If you don't have an online presence, you're almost certainly losing out on business that didn't find you -- or worse, found an alternative -- online. Regardless of industry, occupation or effort, everyone should have a website that conveys the most basic information about your business or organization:
- Your Name
- What you do
- Where you're located or operate
- Your Hours
- How to contact or find you
A basic website generally answers these questions and more for a very reasonable cost - particularly when compared to traditional advertising. Advanced sites go well beyond this to achieve customer interactions like online communication, sales transactions and even "community" discussions. Have a look through the possibilities below to get an idea of what might best benefit your company or organization and then give us a call to see how easily we can make your website a reality.
"Brochure" and Template Sites
Great For: Small Restaurants, Shops & Agencies (Travel, Real Estate, Insurance)
Our most inexpensive web site. Great for those just getting started or with limited budgets. Another advantage to a basic site is the short timeframe in which it can be built and deployed.
Blogs
Great For: Community Organizations, Growing and/or Dynamic Companies
A blog specifically refers to a sequence of updates or "posts" on a website, but today's blogging software rivals many content management systems and powers many full-featured web sites. mauiwebmedia can integrate a simple blog into your existing website, create it as a component of a new web site or build an entire wordpress site as your primary web presence.
Does your company create a lot of news or press releases? Do you like or need to keep your customers up to date with the latest information about your company, your products or a specific topic? Do you send out regular email newsletters or "blasts"? Then a blog may be just what you need. The word "Blog" derived from the phrase "weB Log" and referred to the concept of continuous "log" entries on the same web page - generally in chronological order. Today the concept is accepted as standard practice and has even become a bit of an art form, with the most popular "bloggers" actually living off of income from their blog website. While you may not have aspirations of being a professional blogger, a blog website or blog addition to a website is an incredibly powerful tool to convey timely information to your customers, clients, members or the public. While emails are still a great way to reach people, a blog maintains a permament record of your communication history, as well as potentially letting customers or clients provide feedback easily. They are great for announcing upcoming events, policy or time changes, press releases, special offers and just about any other informaion you want to share.
Content Management Systems
Great For: News Organizations, Content Publishers
Content Management Systems are ideal for organizations that will have multiple users updating content on the website on a daily or very regular basis. They offer a strong user administration framework as well as many advanced functions for content creation, management and search.
Custom & Creative
Great for: Artists, Creative Types
Sometimes you want a website unlike any other. Something that makes a statement about you, your business or your services. That's when it's time to get creative. If you're an artist and have a vision (or even a sketch), we can bring that vision into reality. If you want unique, have a general idea, but you're no artist, don't worry. We work with some of the most talented graphic artists in Maui and around the world to turn ideas into designs.
