Professional Web Design
We pride ourselves on designing web sites that market your project to your audience, load fast and are visually pleasing. We make it easy for you to have a professionally designed web site. We work with you to come up with a design that fits your style. During the design process you are able to see the design as it emerges from any computer with Internet access. All of our websites include the following:
- Search Engine Submission to Top Search Engines.
- Appropriate search engine meta tags/keywords included on each page of your web site.
- Browser checks in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, Netscape 7 and Opera 7.1 ensure cross browser and operating system platform compatibility.
- Uploading your site to your choice of web host.
Most research about the Internet suggests that people are looking for fresh content, ease of navigation, and fast loading pages without lots of flashing gizmos to distract their attention. That's what we concentrate on here at Caught@Work Productions.
There are many positive reasons for having a web site. |
|
Dynamic Web Content
| Using the powerful PHP scripting language, the content of your site can be implemented in a dynamic fashion, allowing storage of data in a MySQL database and retrieval on demand based on differing selection criteria.
We can create functions to collect subscribers to your mailing list or notify your subscribers when your content changes. Have surveys or polls on your website.
Create content in a simple to use form and have that data written directly into your database for later retrieval. No more having to create static HTML pages each time you require additional content. Be dynamic with the powers of PHP and MySQL.
Please note: Your host must provide PHP and a MySQL database in order to take advantage of these services. |

e-Commerce Web Sites
| If your goal is to sell your products or services on the Internet, you not only have to consider the method in which you sell, but also how you will accept payments.
Using the Open Source e-Commerce package from osCommerce, you can link directly into many of the worlds most popular gateways such as 2CheckOut, Authorise.net, ipayment, PayPal, PSiGate, SECPay, and trustcommerce.
With some additional work you can also link directly into your own banks Credit Card Merchant processes.
You can also choose to accept COD, Check or Money Order.
Whether you choose one or many payment options, osCommerce can handle your needs.
Furthermore, as osCommerce is Open Source, it means you don't pay any licence fees.

How We Work
|
Graphic Design
Your Web Designer is not a graphic designer. Simple design buttons and simple logos can be created for you. Complex image compositions and logos should be designed and created by a Graphic Designer and provided to us in the form of high quality JPG or GIF files.
Web Site Content Authoring
Your Web Designer does not write or re-write content. Your content must be supplied to us written the way that you would like it to appear on your web site.
Web Site Content
Our fees are based on you providing your content to us in electronic format. Written materials may be provided to us in the body of an email, Microsoft Word, WordPad or Notepad format only.
If you provide your content in the form of existing manuscripts, brochures, literature, etc. and you wish to have us process the information, additional fees shall be incurred.
Please note that we will not rewrite and/or edit your existing materials/information. Your editing, etc. must be done prior to your submission of your materials. Additional fees shall apply if we must convert printed materials into electronic format. |
|
Site Maintenance and Support
| An important component of advertising on the internet is the ease and speed in making changes. If we maintain your site for you, all it takes is a simple email exchange and your web site can be updated within a few hours (depending on the complexity of the changes requested). These changes or amendments might reflect modifications in your operations, revamp of your textual content or a new graphical image here and there to give your web site a fresh new look. |
|
Design Templates vs. Custom Design
| We avoid using templates to design and create your website. Templates have the look and feel of, well, a template. Here at Caught@Work Productions, we create each site from scratch drawing on your content and logos to provide a site that it uniquely original to you. If you have a design in mind, we are happy to work to your guidelines. If you would like us to create a design, we are happy to do that too. |
