Website Design
A web sites design is something that not only includes the Graphical Presentation and look but also its Usability and Layout. You can use a template to create an image that is similar to everyone else and you will not stand out or you can choose to enable the help of professionals that will guide you in every step of the Web Design process.
At Archetype Interactive Media we strive to create memorable experiences. If that means taking the time to educate a client on the subtleties of CSS and the need of Accessibility, then we approach the web site as if it was our own.
Creative Design Options
Web Design
Creative Design is our forte, we use Fireworks and Photoshop to create rich Web 2.0 designs that are also highly functional. Using contrasting and complementing color palettes the designs that we make tend to be highly stylized yet retain standard practices for efficient look and feel. We believe that a website is a tool that makes your image, without a proper understanding of your industry and your clients we would not be able to succeed, this is why we work closely with our clients to ensure the design is up to your standards.
Layout Design
Layout Design is an integral part of the design process and can make or break a project. Placing content in a way that makes sense to the visitor is our number one priority. When a website has the proper layout a user can easily find what it is that you want them to find and in turn promote your brand in a positive way.
User Interface
The User Interface is the primary vehicle for your visitors to navigate your webpage. A clean logical interface is a very important element and must be functional and accessible. We takes great steps to ensure that the navigation of your site will be clear to all users and will be as effortless as possible.
PSD to XHTML
We can convert a standard PSD Photoshop file to valid XHTML code and CSS. This is great for designers or individuals who have purchased a template online and want to use the template as a webpage. The process takes about a day to a day and a half, and is well worth it you want a W3C compliant website.
CSS
CSS or Cascading Style Sheets are the life blood of any webpage, they determine virtually all the elements within the webpages structure from positioning to fonts. A clear understanding of CSS and its best practices is vital to the overall composition of your project and at Archetype Interactive Media we believe that a clean compatible CSS design is of the utmost importance.
