 Web Development
First and foremost, we design and develop websites. No job is too big, or too small, and it is always exciting to work with a concept to create an image that helps a client sell themselves.
The first step to creating an online presence is really the easiest part. It is to come up with a concept. You probably already have one; something you might have used in a print ad campaign, or a simple phone book ad, etc.
The next step is what we do best, and that is to develop your concept into a creative presence that represents you the way you want to be represented online.
The basic website we create uses an integrative and interactive combination of a creative logo, photography, virtual tours, interactive maps and forms. All of these are used to tailor a site to tell your customers exactly who you are and what you do.
We use the Joomla content management system to develop a site that is dynamic and can grow with your business. As our own business has grown, we have seen the need to develop and publish a news letter that can go out to our growing list of clients and contacts. Of course this can be done using something like Constant Contact, but Constant Contact is not free. A newsletter that can be generated and sent from your very own website is. This news letter was designed and sent using the mailing application you see on the right. Click on the image to learn more about how it works and if you would like to have this integrated into your site, just sent us an email and let us know.
Still and Virtual Tour Photography
Before I finished my degree in computer technology and graphic design, I was a photographer and worked for a photo studio. I had a camera in my hand almost everywhere I went (or at least I wanted to) from the time I was six years old. Photography was in my blood. As I think about it, I don't know of any prominent, well traveled websites that do not have any aesthetically appealing visual elements, especially photographic elements. Many web developers pay and pass on to their clients the enormous expense of stock photography, so being a professional photographer comes in handy and helps you to keep your cost low.
Virtual tour photography is as much of an art as still photography and for the right situation / need, virtual tours can enhance any website and create an interactive draw for the audience. See a few virtual tour samples here.
Creative Graphic Design
Ultimately, the overall look and feel of your site will hinge on graphic design. This includes all the elements of site development and is where it all comes together. There is a fine line between eye catching graphics and eye boggling graphics. The trick is finding graphics that are visually appealing and at the same time helpful to your audience. You will want your audience to intuitively understand your website's functionality and navigation and not be overwhelmed with animations, gadgets and bells and whistles. Simple, elegant and functional; it is our mission at Arizona PhotoGraphix to create every site with this in mind and to surpass all expectations our customers have.
