What Can Spithra Do 4U?

Spithra Web Design and Development is a full-service studio. We take each client step-by-step through three phases of site creation: planning, design/development, and testing. We can also market or maintain your site, train web staff, add functionality to your existing site or freshen your look with new graphics.

During the planning phase, we meet with you to asses your specific goals for the website. We write a clear site plan, including time and budget agreements, graphics and content development requirements, and potential technical upgrades so that every member of the team knows what to do and when to do it.

Need images, photos or a logo? Our designer can shoot digital images or design web-specific graphics to craft your site's look and feel. Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, is our tool-of-choice. We also write clear, enjoyable content that meets both the user's needs and the site's goals.

What does your site do? Dynamic websites are constructed applications that users will interact with, not just look at. The concept of static websites as "brochureware" has evolved into interface development - sites that grow and change with you. In geek speak, we integrate object-oriented programming methods into our design scheme, create client interfaces for content updating when necessary, and make use of JavaScript or PHP/MySQL database technology to manage content.

We test every site on both Mac and PC machines, using all current internet browsers. We can also adapt designs for PDAs and cell phones. We work with your hosting service during deployment to ensure that the technology we create runs on the hardware you use. Don't have a web host? We can provide one.

We want you to be happy with your site, but more important, we want your users to be happy . . . and come back.
