Our project approach We invest in your business Our clients love the fact that we put in a lot of time up-front: researching, brainstorming and collaborating to come up with a comprehensive, well-thought-out approach to your web solution. We take the time to understand your business, your customers, your industry and your competition long before we start building your solution, and we stick by you long after it’s up-and-running. We don’t sell. We educate and advise. When you work with Sagebridge, you can rest assured we’re not going to try to “sell” you anything. We take the time to understand what your business requires to be successful. We educate you on the available options, providing recommendations that make sense for your company. In this way, we truly collaborate with you to create an Internet strategy that makes sense and fits your budget. Many companies take a one-size-fits-all approach to web development. At Sagebridge, we understand that each business requires a unique and comprehensive web solution. The first step is research We begin with an analysis of your business, your industry and your competition. The answers we gather provide a solid foundation for a sound and effective strategy that will satisfy both short and long-term business goals and stand the test of time. Strategy and brainstorming After painting a vivid profile of your target clients, competition, industry and market, we work with you to shape a strategy for leveraging the most effective blend of tried-and-true tools, technology, design and marketing to help you achieve it. Design Effective web design is not only about eye catching graphics, but effective communication and user-friendly interface structure. Our web solution designs are created to reflect the tone and style of your brand, provide your clients with a satisfying and memorable user experience, and most important: achieve your business objectives. If you do not have a brand identity yet (or are in the process of re-branding) we are happy to create your brand for you. We offer full-service logo, corporate identity and print design to complement your new web solution. Implementation There is nothing worse than a site that doesn't work, or 'breaks' on certain browsers or computers. All of our web tools are W3C compliant and cross-browser friendly. Your web solution will be designed so it will perform as expected across as wide a variety of computers and browsers as possible. We offer continuous advice and consultation so you make sure you are always getting the most out of your web solution. Marketing We drive quality prospects (not just traffic) to your doorstep. Using a variety of options including search engine optimization, industry portals, banner advertising, link-building strategies and pay-per-click programs we ensure that your solution will be found by your target market. We also have the capability to strengthen and extend your marketing efforts with print design, direct mail campaigns, email marketing initiatives, copy writing services and advertising that will break through the clutter. Training Many of our clients prefer to perform web solution updates themselves. Our tools allow you to easily update and maintain your web solution content without having to call us. After your web solution is complete, we will personally train your staff on our tools so they can perform necessary updates themselves and get up to speed quickly on your custom web tools. Ongoing Support Unlike other web design firms who simply build you a web solution and then leave you on your own, we stick by you every step of the way - tracking results, evaluating strategy and making adjustments as your company, customer base and market evolves. Because our web tools are modular, you can seamlessly integrate new tools as they become necessary. And our existing tools never go out of date, because as soon as our programmers updated them, your tools are automatically updated as well.
