Our Web Design Philosophy: Interactive and Informative
Business Communication
NOT the "Build It and They Will Come" Advertisment.
The cornerstone of successful web migration lies in the web design. Prior to any design, as in most everything, the necessary consulting must be done to accurately gage a businesses goals. A.C.E. knows that a business web site is not merely an advertisement, but with incorporation of the latest technologies, it can be transformed into a complete businesses entity.
Complete Business Migration:
- Human Resources - accept resumes and post currently available positions, in a highly-detailed multimedia presentation unavailable in any other medium
- Production Departments - provide complete description of services for every department, including automated registration of typical business forms
- Customer Service - post frequently asked questions and answers, as well as helpful documents, decreasing the time spent addressing similar issues. In addition, create a complete online customer-business communication avenue through email and discussion groups.
- Executive & Management - display performance reports, milestones, goals, and projects of the business, allowing web users to give their feedback.
- Much, Much More - upon consulting your business, A.C.E will provide not only with the necessities for creating a web site, but with many more options to streamline your entire business.
A.C.E. can design and maintain either a a complete custom website (for businesses who want to take complete advantage of the Internet as a marketing tool), 6-page web site (an easy inexpensive way for businesses to develop an Internet presence), or a mini website (an easy way to inform and direct surfers to a place of business). We can also integrate interactive programming into any web site to increase both effectiveness and functionality.

Knowing and tracking the effectiveness of any web site is vital to its successful presence and maintenance. For example, upon analysis it could be seen that 60% of a web sites traffic is being deterred or offended by a particular page. Knowing this will allow you to maximize the effectiveness of your web site. A.C.E. will integrate this online program onto your site and provide you with useful information including: hits to local documents, hits from other sites (including search engines & what search terms were used), hyperlinks followed (how the surfer left your web site), average hits per visitor, visitor flow (how surfers navigated the site and where they stopped or left), hits by day of the year, hits by day of the week, hits by hour of the day, much more plus graphing and filter features.
