Core Values of Web Design
 Our Core Values are what’s important to us as a North Carolina Web Design Company.
Excellent Customer Service – The key to Excellent Customer Service is to always assist your customer, no matter whose problem it is. I learned this many years ago when working IBM Mainframe Technical Support for 12 years.
We often assist our web design customers in the areas of E-Mails, SPAM, Website Hosting, Domain Name Registration, Computer and Technical Support that have nothing to do with their web design. It’s just good business.
We received a call from a person who wanted to know if we could fix a typo and a broken link on the front page of their business website. They weren’t one of our web design customers, so we didn’t have their account login info, so we couldn’t access their server. I asked why their web designer couldn’t fix this simple problem for them, because text changes like, this take less than a minute to fix.
They explained that their web designer charges them a $50 monthly maintenance fee. Their current monthly allowance was already used up for this month, so they would have to wait until next month to get the problems fixed. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing!
Here’s a North Carolina Web Design Company, that won’t fix a simple typo and a broken link for their customer, and makes them wait an entire month for something that takes less than a minute to fix. Web design companies like this one won’t be in business very long!

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – Web Design is a “Marketing Business”, not an “Art Exhibit”. There are many “Artistic” and “Animated” websites out there that will never get found in the major search engines, because their Web Designers failed to optimize them.
Look at the top of your browser. If it says “Home”, “Index”, “Untitled Document” or “Untitled” – Call Us Today!
Quality Web Design – Many North Carolina Web Designers use off the shelf Web Design Programs, and never learn HTML code. Many of these web programs don’t write clean code, often resulting in many errors. If the Web Designer doesn’t understand HTML, how they can’t fix the errors? If you website fails W3C Validation – Call Us Today!
Total Customer Satisfaction – You’re not just building a website – You’re building a long term Business Relationship with your Web Design Company. Since 1998, we’ve seen many North Carolina Web Design Companies come and go. If your Web Designer has a surly attitude, “nickel-and-dime” you for every change, is slow to respond, is plagued by staff turnovers, has questionable business ethics, or has just “disappeared” – Call Us Today!
Experience – Back in the 80’s, anyone with a $3,500 Laser Printer was a “Desktop Publisher”. Today, anyone with a $350 Web Design Program is a “Web Designer”. We’ve been in the North Carolina Web Design Business since 1998. We were designing websites back when many of our junior competitors were exploring 24 Bit Color by Crayola®. If you need an “Experienced Web Designer” – Call Us Today!
