Whether you are a newcomer to the web and want to develop your first website, or need to upgrade an old site - our professional designers and web site developers can assist you in this task. Working closely with clients, we develop websites and conduct internet-based promotions to grow their business through the Internet and attract new customers from target markets.

Our development principles are utilized in all web development projects including:

Start-from-Scratch Sites

If you've never developed a site for your company or organization before, we'll work closely with your staff to build a professional website to promote your company's products and services.

Design - we utilize existing promotional materials and corporate identity guidelines to ensure the appropriate corporate/organizational image is maintained in the website's design. Our design professionals can also design from scratch and help create your company image, if you have yet developed any printed materials for your company or organization.

Acknowledging that there are different tastes in design, our designers create two different design concepts for you to choose from based on your design guidelines.

Content - We can build on existing written materials which detail the products and/or services of your company or organization and develop content which focuses on your customers' information needs. Or, we can develop new content for your site from scratch.

Content is king on the Internet - ensuring the success of your site by providing detailed information about your products and services. A good website can also improve employee' productivity by providing answers to your potential customers' questions through your website.

Upgrade an Existing Website

Many clients aren't happy with the results of their 'first generation website'. Perhaps it was developed as a favor, or by your nephew, or a self-taught employee. For whatever reason, the website has not brought you the results you had hoped for. Our developers will conduct a website review on your existing site and develop a plan for improving your existing site to reach your goals.

In a redesign of an existing website the development work focuses on improvements to navigation, design, content, download speed and optimization for search engine submission. In some cases, it's easier just to start from scratch and re-develop the site.

Our Philosophy

Each web developer has preferred layout styles and design tendencies. Yakindo does too! The principles that guide our web development projects are:

• Content is King on the internet! If your site is short on information, it will not rank well on search engines. We help clients ensure their website provides all the information visitors are looking for ... and more.
  
• People don't come to websites just to look at the design. They come seeking information. Design provides an essential backdrop to the content as it should reflect the corporate image of the company and provide a professional appearance to ensure your company looks bona fide. Research shows that a badly designed site reduces the credibility of your company and a well-designed site adds credibility to your company image.
  
• Techno garbage is exactly that! Animated gifs, flash, complicated javascript and other technical wonders of the internet frustrate visitors to websites as they take forever to load and crash software/computers when the scripting hasn't been fully tested. We use the KISS principle in web development ... simple and effective and focused on the goal ... getting visitors to your site and providing them with the information they seek.
  
• High accessibility and usability are keywords in W3C compliance, the king of internet standards. What does this mean to clients? Our sites work across platforms, through several versions of browsers and provide a user-friendly experience to visitors to the website, with special accessibility considerations for the visually impaired and blind.
  
• And most important of all, we do not utilize design principles which hamper search engine placement in any way. If visitors can't find your website on the search engines, you'll be losing a major segment of your potential market. Our developers keep abreast of changes in the algorithms of the major search engines to ensure high placement for your site.
  
• You'll never see a Yakindo logo/link on sites we've developed as your website isn't our ad space! Word of mouth and satisfied customers continues to bring us business on a continual basis.
  
• We endeavor to provide all customers with 24-48 hour turnaround on post-launch site maintenance work submitted to us. We've heard too many stories from clients of unreturned phone calls and unanswered questions by other developers. By dealing with our clients direct, we can ensure that your questions are answered in a timely manner and communications are directed straight to the person doing the work.

Our design philosophy is focused on developing the most effective website possible for clients ... to grow their business and provide comprehensive information to customers.
