Icon sets

Web Designers

The number of styles available for your web design depends upon the number of designers available from your web design company. Our designers come from a wide range of backgrounds with a versatile range of skills, interests, and experience.

On-going training is a crucial part of our business at PricklyPear Media, keeping us at the forefront of this ever-growing field. Additionally, we often attend conferences and events to find new and exciting ways to implement our ideas and those of our clients.

We also find collaborated communication to be vital. Collaboration with our peers and those colleagues who offer peripheral services often produces the best results.

Coding Standards

The W3C developed coding standards in order to keep consistency in browser display of web pages. As these standards continue to evolve, we continually review our coding current practices to ensure compliance and compatibility in each of our website designs.

We design websites using:

• Validated XHTML 1.0 Strict
• Validated CSS 2

We test our designs in the following browsers:

• Internet Explorer 6
• Internet Explorer 7
• Internet Explorer 8
• Safari
• Mozzila Firefox
• Chrome
• Opera

Web Content Writing

Design and content are equally critical to the success of your website. While professional design will grab the attention of your audience, it is your content that will hold that attention.

Professional content that is written with the web visitor in mind, compels your visitors to browse from page to page, to make a purchase, and encourages their return visit to your website.

PricklyPear Media recognizes the importance of web content. We'll help you write it, find an editor, or a professional copy writer to ensure that your message is clear, properly focused, and as eye-catching as your web design.

Content Management

Content management systems (CMSs) make it easy to add content (such as new articles or blog posts) and make simple changes (such as product replacements and/or price changes) to your website content without compromising your web design.

CMSs may be custom designed, proprietary, or open-source. While PricklyPear Media is committed to satisfying your every requirement and will happily help you obtain a custom CMS, we generally recommend use of one of the many fine open-source CMSs available today.

• Unlike proprietary or custom CMSs, because open-source CMSs are free they offer a substantial savings.
• Standardized and fully tested, open-source CMSs effectively decrease the time it takes to launch your website.
• Open-source CMSs often have a community of experienced coders and programmers working on the system, which makes bug tracking easier and results in a robust web application.
• Open-source applications offer excellent support through documentation and through open-source forums and wikis.
• Open source allows for easy implementation of your chosen website elements and functions with pre-designed, yet fully customizable elements, such as contact forms, login forms, search bars, and visitor tracking.

We invite you to explore the many advantages of open-source CMSs.
