For a communication to move your audience, it needs to attract, generate interest, cause desire and move them to action.

For this to occur, we need to understand the needs of your audience. Only then can we craft the communications to break through the blizzard of words, images and sounds that compete for the attention of your audience. Then, by ensuring the communication is relevant, we encourage them to move down the path to action.

This sounds simple and straightforward. In theory it is. In practice we work according to it. It is our experience though, that many other companies that offer the same type of services just don't seem to do this.

Unique Methods: The way in which Splint Fox produces professional, custom websites is quite unique and has proven to be very effective. The following is a summary of the tasks we would undertake during custom website design and development:

1. Website Project Fact Finding: Conduct a meeting or meetings with Splint Fox to determine your needs, goals, budget considerations and other relevant factors in order to better prepare the website production estimate and proposal.
   
   
2. Goals and Objectives for your Custom Website: Is your website intended to be a marketing or sales tool? Is it a customer service tool? We help you establish clear goals and objectives that are the foundation of any successful website or business.
   
   
3. Professional Planning for Your Website: Develop the architecture of your website - what information should be included and how it should be organized. We will also help make decisions on which search terms to target, so the completed project will be ready for additional search engine optimization if desired.
   
   
4. Experienced Research: We will request as much information as possible from you and other resources, and will edit, or in many cases rewrite, the pertinent information to fit your website's overall custom style and navigation.
   
   
5. Web Design Services: As the copy, script and website outline are being developed, We will establish a look and feel for the site by creating as many page formats as required by your custom website architecture.
   
   
6. Client Website Pre-Approval: Before we begin the website programming process, the script, outline and design elements will be submitted for your review and approval. This step greatly reduces, and can nearly eliminate, costly revisions which would otherwise be made after the website programming and launch have been completed.
   
   
7. Professional Website Programming: After copy, text and web design modifications have been completed and approved, the project moves into the programming phase - converting the information to web-based components such as html, Flash, CSS, and any other technology as required by the website's custom plan.
   
   
8. Discreet Website Launch: Prior to launching your website for public viewing, We will upload the completed website to a server with limited access for review. You are then able to review the custom web design and programming live, online in its entirety – not otherwise available to the public.
   
   
9. Final Website Launch: After all changes are made and any navigational or functionality problems are debugged, your new professional website is transferred to the internet service provider (ISP) and launched live for the general public to access. Splint Fox will also purchase domain names on your behalf if needed.
   
   
10. Online and Offline Website Marketing: Completing and successfully launching the website is really only half the battle. It's similar to designing and producing the perfect billboard and sticking it in your garage where no one can see it. Splint Fox does comprehensive website marketing including optimization, search engine and directory listings, banner ads and broadcast emails to make sure your website get the traffic it deserves.
    
    
11. Complete Website Hosting and Email Support: Splint Fox can provide complete website hosting and email capabilities through any internet provider. If you prefer, we will upload your professional website to a supporting server of your choice.
