Why should I use a professional company?
“A lot of people have web design skills
nowadays, including my brother. Why shouldn’t
we use one of these people?” This is probably
the most common question in our field. You could also
use one of those 'do it yourself' website programs,
but that would be like trying to produce the National
Geographic magazine using your home computer and a beginners
camera. You just wouldn't get the results you need.
One of the hardest things about designing a site, is
making sure that your visitors don't leave as soon as
they get there. Even more important is knowing how to
make them come back, repeatedly, because they want to.
Long page load times, bad navigation structures, and
unexpected layouts are only a few of the problems that
inexperienced web designers face. Finer details such
as graphics optimizations, search engine optimizations,
usability, cross-browser compatibility, database integration,
and Section 508 Accessibility features (now required
by law for Government funded organizations) are even
more key to developing a successful website.
What We Believe
Websites that simply replicate a brochure are not effective
in the long term. [1]
In fact, interactivity ranks far above other factors
for reasons why a visitor returns to a website. [2]
More and more studies show that the web’s marketing
power resides in its interactive potential.
CIS believes the key to realizing your marketing potential
is by using interactive online technologies to build
community. Your goal is to get customers coming
back again and again. The importance of having visitors
return is found in an interesting statistic from e-commerce
sites: people will buy from you only after an average
of seven previous visits.
