Green Industry web sites, designing with quality while maintaining functionality.
The ideal website is one that performs its intended function and looks great in the process. Usually, however, a site will only achieve one of these results and sometimes none at all.
For example, a great design with little thought toward the intended goal of a site can result in a pretty, but useless, site. On the other hand, a site that has unparalleled functionality but lacks a polished, optimized design will also fail.
We strive for a balance; a great design with tremendous thought toward the goal of the site and its intended audience.

  Our Process  
  1. Information gathering  
  This is where all of our nursery experience makes a big difference. Through research as well as direct meetings, we learn
everything we can about your company, always looking for anything that sets you apart from your competition. We also get to know your goals and where you see your company in the future. Our design team maintains close contact with you to insure your site will have the
look and feel you want.

We believe in keeping you in the loop at all times, so you can expect a lot of back and forth between you and the team throughout the process. If you're a hands-off type of manager, that works too, but we've found that most people want to be in on all aspects of their site's construction.
 
  2. Planning      
  Next, we lay out everything in what we call a sitemap. This is the actual blueprint of the site. We discuss with the client the concept and goals, as well as the audience we are targeting. We then draw a rough draft to let the client see the initial concept.
  • We create content
  • Set navigation
  • We decide what elements as far as flash, pictures and tools will go on the site.

  4. Development  
  This is where the creative process starts. The homepage is developed at this point. You the client will have full access to the entire work in progress.  
  5. Testing    
  Every site undergoes a rigorous testing regime before it's considered ready for prime time. Not only do we perform quality assurance testing, but we bring in others to determine whether the site's design and functionality compliment each other appropriately. We then guide you through the entire site and allow you to make any changes you see fit.  At this point your brand-new site is ready to go online and serve its first visitor!
