Brochure web sites are a companies online brochure. The web site may be no more then 3 or 5 pages. The site should be designed to do three primary things: introduce the viewer to the company, clearly explain the services offered by the company and have a clearly displayed call to action. The call to action may be a phone phone number, an online form to fill out or in some instances a live chat function where the viewer and connect instantly to the company. Think of a businesses Brochure web site as a marketing tool that can be handed out at any time; while standing in line at the grocery store, or waiting for a table at a restaurant, or at your child's school function. It's the closing line of "take a look at my companies services at www.mydomain.com." Click on the thumbnail to view the site.

Content Management Systems (CMS) is a collection of tools designed to allow the creation, modification organization and removal of information from a Web site. In short, these are sites or parts of sites that can be easily edited by the owner. It can be a complete site or portions of a site. For example, a CMS was added to the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts. Their education department wanted to have a lesson plan area where school teachers could view and download art lesson plans. A module was developed and added to their current site. Through this module, the education department staff could add lesson plans including formatted text and images. They could edit or delete the plans. A tracking functionality and lesson plan survey to view stats was included. Click on the thumbnail to view and example of the application.

Similar to Content Management Systems (CMS), database driven applications are server-side HTML embedded scripting language which are written in a to create dynamic content that interacts with databases. These applications may be found in membership directories or email forms that when submitted send out emails and put the form information into a database. In this example, the International Tanning Coop wanted a module where a viewer could search a membership list by either city or zip code. The application search zip codes by a mile radius and returned a list of salons within those zip codes. It also was written so that only member salon's showed phone numbers, web site URL and a link to a dynamic Google map link. Click on the thumbnail and try a search.

Old Site Redesigned Site

Rarely is the first launch of a web site the finished edition. As businesses evolve, so do business web sites. It has been our experience that the first launch of a web presence is merely the start to an ongoing process of updating and adding content. Redesign usually takes place after there is feedback that the site isn’t working or confusing, or the time has come for a fresh look.

eCommerce/Shopping Cart Site:

Shopping carts are more common today then ever before. The ability to have a web store is more affordable now then ever before as well. There are a number of "out of the box" shopping carts that are completely customizable with additional modules that allow for product tracking, customer mailings or exporting data to Quickbooks to name just a few.

 

After much research and the testing of different cart applications, TecTao Designs now recommends the use of MIVA Cart and affordable high end shopping cart that interfaces with many of the popular card processing companies such as Authorize.net. Pricing for shopping carts start at $600 and go up depending on the amount of customization required. Additional costs would include hosting for MIVA (usually under $400 per year) bank charges, card processing gateways. Click on the thumbnail to view this site.
