Web Design
As the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. A recent survey undertaken by Yahoo showed that the web has actually overtaken other media like television and radio in terms of where people turn to for information about products or services. Because of this, odds are that many potential consumers or patrons will get their "first impression" of your organization based on something they see online. This makes it more important than ever to ensure that you have a website that showcases your product, service or message in a clear and visually appealing way.
When you choose to create your site with JCMultimedia, you are choosing a designer who understands that truly good design goes beyond simply what looks attractive. I take the time to ensure that all of my sites are easily navigable by the end users and that my sites achieve optimal search engine rankings. When potential consumers can find you quickly, and browse easily through your site, they are better able to focus on your message.
At JCMultimedia, client needs always come first. I take the time to talk to each client, one on one, in person or over the phone to find out what matters to them and exactly what they want the site to convey. As a client, I will present you with a potential site mockup which can be tweaked and changed according to your preferences - not a single line of coding is done until you are completely satisfied with how your site will look and feel.
Web Development
How do you get from a mock up to a fully functioning site? Web development is the construction, architecture and implementation of the web design; if designing is like drawing a blueprint, development is like building the structure. As both a designer and developer, I am able to offer the distinct advantage of being able to consult with my clients over the course of the entire process of site creation. This avoids the stressful and often costly disconnect that sometimes occurs when, due to outsourcing, one person has to implement the ideas of another without fully understanding their vision.
JCMultimedia embodies a "from the ground up" vision of web design. Every site is built custom, without reliance on pre-fabricated templates. Upon request, I am able to incorporate features such as a content manager, which allows you to update the information on your own site whenever you wish. I also build for the possibility of expansion, meaning that if the scope of your organization were to expand in the future, the process of similarly expanding your website would be straightforward and economical.
From HTML compliancy to Cascading Style Sheets that can transform the entire look of your site to dynamic pages with interactive components to a full fledged database driven content management system that lets you make the content, I am committed to helping you get the most out of your site.
Flash Authoring
Need even more interactivity on your site? Feeling the desire for eye catching animation? Want to show off your product or service in a cool way? I can build you a custom Flash application and integrate it into your site. Animated banners, mp3 jukeboxes and even interactive applications can be added to your website quickly and easily.
Site Maintenance
You would never think to run an ad in the local newspaper advertising a sale that was over last week or a campaign from two years ago, would you?! Your website is among your most important advertising tools, and maintaining its currency is essential for the reputation and credibility of your organization. Just as a glossy, current site makes you look professional, a site that is clearly dated by either its design or its content makes you look just the opposite.
Let JC Multimedia keep your site up to date. I offer site maintenance services that allow you to ensure that your site continues to present the best possible first impression for your company. Maintenance is charged by the hour, so you only pay for what you need.
Graphic Design
Graphics are a huge part of a good looking website. I have considerable experience in the field of graphic design and I take pride in my ability to work with each client to uncover an aesthetic that the client can connect with. Let JCMultimedia help you foster a strong brand through good design.
Graphics aren't just for the web, either! Need a new logo, a business card or company branded letterhead? I can provide you with everything you need, all in one package!
Digital Music Composition
One of my long-standing personal passions is music. Since the age of 10 I have been writing music and playing guitar. At 16, I began to explore the world of electronic music composition and have never looked back! I have composed music for film, television, radio and live events, and am always eager for the opportunity to take on a new musical side project. Whether you have a specific project in mind or you would just like some original music added to your JCMultimedia designed website, I would love to hear from you!
