THE LOOK & FEEL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
It probably comes as no surprise that a website is comprised of two main
elements: 1) the design, and 2) the functionality. You can’t have one without
the other and you can’t have more of one and less of another. Both the look of
a website and its structure must be in equilibrium to bring about a positive first
impression, because as we all know a good first impression is crucial.
A CUSTOM CREATION
We don’t duplicate or copy other designs we see. You will not see your design
anywhere else on the internet even if you come to us with a few design
elements you want to incorporate that you have seen from other websites.
Plus, no matter if we are building a new website or simply giving your existing
website a freshen-up, we start with a blank canvas which allows us to
incorporate any new features, color schemes, functionality, etc.
USER FRIENDLY WITH VISUAL DELIGHT
What this means is we will make the website a place people want to visit again
and again. When users come to the site they will know that a button is a button
because it looks like a button. It will be what they expect. Plus, we will work
together to get the site exactly how you want it. We can change or modify any
element ot meet your expectations.
EXPANDABILITY
NTS designs every website with expandability in mind. In our ever-changing
world you may want to add elements a few years down the road that currently
you don’t need. Not only is this a design element, we also keep this in mind
when we’re coding.
STRUCTURE & FUNCTION
Not only does a website have to look good, it must have a strong foundation and
be easy to navigate. It should be easy to find what you’re looking for not a
maze of hidden or buried links. We hand code all of our web pages with the
most up-to-date W3C coding standards. By utilizing this strict coding practice
it ensures cross-browser platform compatibility and search engine optimization.
HAND CODED
We start with a blank canvas and custom build everything for you. This is
especially important if you ever want to upgrade components of the website or
if you ever want to do a simple refresh in a few years.
ROOM TO ADD MORE
Just as with our design, at NTS Software our philosophy behind creating and
expanding websites is to always leave room to add more functionality unless
otherwise specified. Often times what happens is someone will create a great
website and then a year down the road realize they want to add a new feature
but didn't leave themselves a way to do it. This is simply good coding practice.
Part of our design philosophy is based on an old saying from a great Kung Fu
master talking about martial arts systems, "If your system stops growing or
stops changing or stops evolving it will die. Think of this as a river or stream vs.
a stagnant pond."
STRICT CODING PRACTICE
We use strict coding practice to make sure the website functions the same way
every time with no exceptions. You will never get a "404 error page" with any
link or any button. Everything will function as it was intended, every time.
LOW BANDWIDTH, HIGH SPEED
We trim the "fat" behind images, database calls, and everything in between.
This means is that we optimize the website so as to accommodate users with
slow dial-up internet connection as well as lightning fast internet connections.
CROSS BROWSER COMPATIBILITY
There are a number of different internet browsers including Internet Explorer,
Mozilla FireFox, Apple Safari, and Opera. Each has their own quirks and
peccadilloes. We make certain that no matter what browser a user has, their
experience will be identical.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZED
What this means is that every piece of code is optimized for search engines.
You don't need to hire another company to do this, it is included with every
website NTS designs.
