Web Design
If the design is only for design's sake, chances are you'll distract users from your products and services by hindering performance and usability as elaborate graphics and plug-ins take time to load, actually driving users away.
Your needs are very different if you're Giorgio Armani than if you are a B2B procurement site for the chemical industry. In some cases visual extravagance is essential to maintaining a company's brand image. In others such extravagance would be merely annoying at best.
If flashing graphics and pop-up windows aren't functional elements--that is, elements that add value and ultimately result in revenue in some way-- then it is better to keep things simple.
Your site's design must also help users browse your site and take it in. One way to achieve this goal is by carefully organizing a "design hierarchy" or "drill down" for your site, breaking down each page into concise sections and arranging them in order of importance, so that users can find what they want more easily. Consistent nomenclature and iconography are equally as important.
The GEEKS team of professionals in the areas of design, marketing and programming will give your company a web site that helps increase your revenues and please your audience.

Government Compliance
The World Wide Web has dramatically changed the way that federal agencies disseminate and collect information. Computer users from all around the world have instant access to federal agencies any time of day. Not only do agencies save countless dollars in printing and mailing costs, they also receive and process accurate information much more quickly and efficiently.
Under the authority of section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act , the Access Board (or 'Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board') has enacted regulations setting forth accessibility standards for federal agencies' electronic and information technology, including web pages. (1) 36 C.F.R. pt. 1194.
This document is designed to help agencies evaluate whether their Internet pages are accessible to people with disabilities. The Access Board's web accessibility standards appear at the beginning of each of the substantive sections, below, and form the basis for most of the questions. A few of the questions are designed to suggest ways that agencies should make their programs accessible, even where there are barriers on existing agency web pages.
We have created an ADA Compliance Checklist for you, to help you answer the questions needed to start the process of developing your government site. You may also read the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) by clicking here.
In addition, you may visit any of the following sites to check your newly developed or 'in development' government site for ADA Compliance:
- > Rational Policy Tester Accessibility Edition (An ADA Tester)
- > WAVE (An ADA Tester)
- > Lynx Viewer ( A text-based browser)
- > DeJa VU (See what your pages look like in older browser versions)

Re-Design
With over 10 million web sites competing to keep customers, secure new ones and increase sales, your company must constantly, revise, re-position and incorporate new Internet technologies to remain viable in the world of e-Business.
To see how your web site measures up, ask yourself the following questions:
- • Regardless of the number of visitors that come to your site, what percentage of those are turning into customers?
- • What is the average number of pages that a user views when they come to your web site?
- • What is your cost of acquiring a new customer through traditional marketing efforts and how much through your Web site?
- • Have your sales to existing customers increased since you published your web site?
- • Have you seen any reduction in operating or marketing expenses one year after your web site went up?
- • Have you visited your competitor's sites recently to see how they compare to your web site?
- • Can a visitor to your site find out in 30 seconds or less what your products and services are?
- • Can your customers readily see what is your competitive advantage?
- • Does your web site allow you to collect visitor information, and are you able to easily and periodically send Email updates to all of them?
- • If you chose to advertise your site online today, would you feel comfortable spending thousands of dollars in online or offline advertising/promotion?
A significant percentage of projects executed by the GEEKS involve re-deployment (redesign) of web sites.
