Web Design & Development

Businesses of all sizes have come to realize that they must have a web presence to successfully compete in today’s world. pleasantbay.NET can provide the design and functionality of a world-class web site using professional design tools combined with years of experience to provide you with an attractive site that is easy to navigate, and communicates to the globe the valuable information of your company. Implementing proven design techniques, our creations have risen to the top of search engine results. We can provide you with a web site by starting from scratch, using templates, or by revamping your existing site. We use the professional design tools of Macromedia Dreamweaver Studio MX and Adobe Photoshop to create polished web presentations.

Our web design philosophy is threefold: Pages should be constructed to expand and contract to fit the most common screen resolutions of 800x600 and 1024x768; the pages should be compatible with Version 4 browsers or better; and the pages should remain small in size for quick loading on slower internet connections.
Another very important component to the design of web pages is content; the text that you provide should contain relevant keywords that you would expect your viewers to use in a search engine query, and these keywords should be placed high on the pages that you wish to be found, especially the home or index page. Text must be provided in a digital .txt document that is already proof-read and spell-checked. The best way to do this is to compose your text in a word-processing application, then save it as a .txt document. It can then be delivered by email as an attachment, or pasted into the body of a Plain Text email.
Our rates are fairly simple: $100 per hour. Or the site can be billed on a per-component basis. Using the latter and preferred method, we can develop a custom template for $800, then charge $25 per use of an image plus $25 per page developed from the template (whether the page is ultimately used live on the site, or not). Popups are $15 each, not including the image for which a charge would apply only if it is a unique image to the site. Image scans are provided at $20 per scan. The template would include the basic layout of the pages and their navigational menus, which might include a primary, verticle set of buttons in the leftmost column, perhaps a horizontal set of links across the top of the page, and usually another set of horizontally arranged links or buttons across the bottom of the page as a footer. Stock templates from Macromedia and other sources can also be customized to suit your needs, while trimming your budget considerably.
