Web Design | Identity

Utilizing the latest in design software and techniques, our Santa Barbara web design team will work with you to develop or improve the visual components of your site and print media. Depending on your needs, during our design process, you will be presented with multiple mock-ups and revisions, to select a design direction and the final look of your site. On average, a web design must captivate and engage a visitor within 2 to 3 seconds or they will move on to the competition. Our web design team will create a design experience that maintains the visitor's interest in addition to an information architecture that guides them to the products and services you want them to see. The success of a website is based on how easily visitors find what they are looking for and are converted to a qualified lead.


Content Management System

Phase 3 has developed two web design systems for clients wishing to manage and maintain their own sites and content.

The first solution, Buttercup, is our economic solution developed for small businesses, offering the ability to change images and content within specific pages while maintaining the custom look and feel created with our design team. Buttercup can be implemented on existing sites as well, granting clients the ability to easily modify their web content even when Phase 3 was not the original designer.

Our second solution is a robust, full-featured, CMS customized for clients requiring comprehensive management of corporate websites and eCommerce solutions. Our CMS can be built around new or existing technologies and allows for managing product colateral, press releasees, investor communications, online event management, class registrations and tracking and many more personalized requirements.

What sets our CMS apart from the competition is our ability to adapt to existing web designs and provide a true what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor.


Database Design Solutions

Phase 3 developers have a wide range of experience developing and maintaining sites that utilize mySQL, Microsoft Access, Filemaker, Coldfusion 9, PHP and ASP.NET. The sites we have managed range from simple event registrations to complicated class scheduling sites with student registration, professor back-end management and hotel reservation systems. We have been utilized for completing projects for customers that were abandoned by other designers as well as repairing systems damaged by server upgrades and hosting service providers.


Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Starting with optimizing your site for Google, Bing and Yahoo search engines, we will help build a credible online presence for your business.

Maintenance

Phase 3 provides the domain registration and hosting for the first year and does not charge extra monthly fees without first disclosing them to our clients. We offer discounted rates for negotiated amounts of services after a site is delivered. We also provide comprehensive training and warranties for all work that is delivered. It is not necessary for a client to sign an on-going maintenance agreement, although it is recommended for SEO purposes after delivery of a site. Each client has different requirements and we are respectful of their preferences.


eCommerce Solutions

Phase 3 develops customized eCommerce platforms or implements shopping carts based on the open-source solutions Magento, osCommerce and Zen Cart. Utilizing these open-source solutions, we are able to provide cost-effective solutions for small businesses as well as elaborately customized solutions for more sophisticated customers. In addition, our advanced web design developers have experience in creating complete eCommerce solutions that are built from the ground-up per client specification without the use of open-source materials (but this is rarely requested).


Interactive Media

Phase 3 has built interactive sites for clients desiring Flash functionality, as well as building sites for independent film makers (movie trailers, etc.) Our team specializes in the art of incorporating flash functionality with the SEO benefits of an HTML site. We recommend consulting our team about the pro's and con's of the various technologies available. Our experience incorporates the latest in Actionscript, AJAX and other cutting-edge tecnologies.
