Every year millions of web sites are added to the multitude of sites already present on the web. In many ways, every site is your competitor; every minute that a viewer spends on any web site is a minute that they are not on yours. The question becomes how to not only attract viewers to your site but to get them to spend as much time as possible browsing through your various pages. How do you achieve that?

There is no simple formula that can be applied to all web sites. Each site must be addressed individually, taking as many factors into account as possible. Among these factors are target market, file size, browser compatibility, cognitive ergonomics, color psychology, and navigation efficiency. A site created without taking these factors into account will never achieve the desired effect.

Whether you need FLASH, HTML or any "hybrids", we have the tools and the team to provide sites that can help you achieve your goals online, attracting viewers from far and wide and keeping them entertained and informed while they are there. When it comes to sites, like so many things, you get what you pay for. Shop around, look at web designers' portfolios and make sure they can offer you the things that are essential to your online success. Be conscious of how much it will cost you but don't necessarily settle for the best deal.

Keep in mind that there are several options available to you, and depending on what you need certain site types may suit you better than others.





Your options:

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) : ex. inzigo inc.

HTML and sites are generally quick loading, direct and simple. These sites are generally best for those companies which need to provide medium to large amounts of text and information. Of all types of sites, HTML is the most limited and stagnant, however it is perfect for those establishments which want to provide as much information in as little time as possible without sugarcoating.


DHTML (Dynamic HTML) : ex. Dynamic HTML Zone

Allows for basic animation, loads pretty quickly and can look great. Design and animation wise, it is more limited than FLASH.


FLASH : ex.
Red Ant Design,

Flash sites are generally slower to load and are most often animated. These sites are more dynamic and for the most part more interactive and interesting. Flash sites can be just as informative as html however, this usually comes at the cost of its file size. Flash is perfect for those establishments which need to provide more than information, they need to provide a complete experience, to captivate their audience. Also excellent for online demonstrations of how to use a product or service.


HYBRIDS : ex.
xbox.com,

Hybrid sites are sites, like this one, which feature dynamic interactions between HTML and FLASH, incorporating both in one highly effective site. Hybrid sites load more slowly than HTML but faster than the average FLASH site. These sites allow for the incorporation of the best of HTML and the best of FLASH. Hybrids incorporate the dynamism, aesthetics, and versatility of FLASH with the small file sizes and direct information presentation capabilities of HTML. Hybrids are great sites for almost any institution that strives to inform as directly as possible while presenting itself as a dynamic as well as professional establishment.
