A. Yes we have several options available, although we are not a web hosting company per se. We run our own dedicated server for non wordpress sites, which we keep very secure. We also have accounts with commercial web hosting firms. Obviously a website needs a suitable environment to reside in- this we will facilitate.

We are flexible always to build anything needed, our only requirement is that whatever the task may be, it has to match our quality standards. A professional and appealing website presence is a must.

A. Absolutely, when the site is coming close to launch we will get together with you and spend the required time to get you up to speed on operating the Content Management System, CMS. We also answer follow up questions quickly. Its in both our clients' interest, and our own, that they are fully comfortable updating the site on an ongoing basis.

A. Yes we have designed many websites in Wordpress. We also have other backend options available where greater security, flexibility, and power is needed. Wordpress is perfectly suitable for smaller firms, and is a very easy system to learn and use. Full administration usage training is provided with all engagements our Colorado web design firm provides. The best solution is always in house updates by our clients' representatives.

And that is true not only for your visitor experience but also your search engine rankings.

Our ecommerce solutions are all your business needs to thrive online.

We accept check, credit card, and of course cash. As is industry standard, in installments of 50% or 33% is normal practice and our policy. We are always flexible but don't really want weekly payments for 6 months, as an example..We look forward to do business with you.

A. The quality of what we've produced for others, is your best indicator of what you'll receive from us. There are many classes of quality available at a huge range of prices.Our Denver web design company has been involved in bids where one person or organization literally bid 10 times what another provider did. If you're receiving such a wide disparity of bids, your natural reaction is "what the"? We are what we make. Check our portfolio here: We understand how confusing the selection process of hiring a web designer can be and fully sympathize- the bottomline is do your research well and don't fall for the snake oil.

A. Establishing this is part of the design process, we’re going to take all your feedback and make it look great! Our mission is to create the best in class websites anywhere.Rest assured it will be fully device responsive and will do the site owner proud. Check out our reviews from happy clients on google here:

A. We steer clients clear of picking from several average versions vs starting with the right one. Of course we offer re-concepting as needed. We shun mediocrity and have found this approach produces the best results consistently.

A. Our developers can handle anything you care to throw at them just fine. We have engineered all sorts of custom solutions- subscription based websites, ticketing websites, geo location websites and much more. We thrive on the challenges offered by a complex set of requirements.

A. Our website design company in Denver, CO has been in business for 15 years , and aren't going anywhere. In addition we code in PHP, the most widespread language used on the web, any competent developer can take over if we all happen to get hit by a bus..We are not planning on an encounter with a bus, or a meteor, but you never know.

A. A confusing common problem for sure. At the top end of pricing are the large agencies and studios who use you to pay their overhead. At the bottom are inferior developer who are likely to issue somewhat desperate quotes, leading to shoddy products. We develop products as good as anyone, but have low overhead, so are our websites and other services are affordable, yet high quality.

A. We are certainly aware there are many web development options out there across the city and the state. We are very proud of our work, and always encourage prospective clients to research their options thoroughly. But, yes, we do.

A. Very good question- informational website design typically takes about 4-6 weeks. More complex custom builds roughly twice that. Logos take a few days usually.

A. Yes unfortunately we encounter these scenarios reasonably often. We are happy to take on such projects. However, from long experience, in some cases a full redevelopment may be necessary.

A. The websites we engineer always utlize the latest technology and techniques. They are up to date and cutting edge today. That said, of course the internet is ever rapidly evolving. Your web or software product is good for several years at least. We ourselves have had 6 iterations of the Big Orange Planet website over 17 years of business, but its more important for us to update frequently than most industries for obvious reasons.

A. Yes its correct that the majority of websites these days are built using templates purchased generally from online marketplaces. While we also build sites in this manner, we differ from most of our competitors in that we can and do build websites from scratch, designing in photoshop, and hand coding everything.

In addition the Stempora organization, which we're a part of, runs its own template marketplace.

A. Like most web designers we prefer the Adobe suite of Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat and After Effects. Adobe has long been the king of design software and you really don't need to look any further.

A. When building a site from a theme as opposed to from scratch, different agencies have varied opinions on which to use- we recommend a theme called Divi of late. Usually the nature of the website project determines the theme choice.

A. We actually get asked this a lot. Folks tend to have a general understanding that they want a Wordpress website. In some cases we recommend different solutions. Wordpress is very good for small business, can become more problematic in larger custom builds. Also tools like Wix, Weebly, and so many more now allow a poor to fair designer/developer to deliver a reasonably good web product. And of course they charge minimally, excited with their sudden good fortune.

We rely on ourselves, our long term experience and knowledge, to deliver the right solution.

A. A good question. The 2 disciplines are separate, though of course closely intertwined. To best answer this one should think of what you see in front of you as the design part and how you interact with the site as the development part. Web design relates to the front end visuals, web development is more concerned with the back end processes.

A. There are many different types of web design software out there. Some will allow even a non web developer to build a passable website in a very short period of time. There are also many software tools for developers that ease the various tasks that need to be accompplished to deliver a quality website product.

A. Make no mistake there are a lot of free options out there. Websites such as Wix and sitey.me will allow you to build a site for free in a very short time span. Of course the quality and professionalism needed in a business website may be lacking.

A. Parallax movement is a visually impressive scrolling technique often used in website design where the background imagery in a web page move at a different pace than the foreground imagery. This creates an appearance of depth or 3-d on what is of coursea two-dimensional website.

A. Yes google sites are free. With a regular Google user account, you can generate a google site (or as many as you want). Of course the domain name will still be an issue- the site will be on something like sites.google.com/xyz.com - you will need to deal with this aspect.

A. Generally speaking the answer is no, however when parallax is used correctly the results are fine from an SEO perspective. Google wants  to see websites With multiple pages of rich content.. Many websites that use parallax have only a couple of pages. Our parallax websites have many pages always.

 A.If you are asking yourself how do I find local website design companies? We recommend googling terms and then researching thoroughly- its a dangerous World out there.
