Services
Service is at the heart of all we do. It is not enough to merely create a web presence. We consider it our responsibility to ensure that your web presence is all it can be! That means making certain it works as part of an overall strategy for marketing your business. We want to be certain that your site gives you the professional presence your business needs to compete. We begin with an analysis of need - what do you need your site to do? We follow up with determining what will be necessary to improve your site's rank in search engines, allow it to achieve its goals in a meaningful way, and make it easy to keep up to date. We understand that your site is often the very first impression you make upon a future client, and want to be certain that you are putting your best foot forward.
We provide a host of services, ranging from domain name registration and hosting set-up to photography and graphic design to maintenance and updating to instruction and consulting.
Domain Name Registration & Hosting
We have partnered with a variety of hosting providers to bring you a selection of web hosting possibilities. Do you prefer a host local to your area? A Windows host? A host with content management/web editing software built-in? Do you need enterprise level hosting with dedicated servers and loads of bandwidth? Or do you just need a little piece to call your own at a more moderate price point? We can accommodate just about any hosting need.
Examples of companies with whom we are currently working include:
- 1&1 Hosting
- Name.com
- Skyrunner of Asheville
- Parcom Hosting
- Solar Energy Hosting
Photography and Graphic Design
We have partnered with local start-up, Tempus Fugit Design to provide graphic design and photography services. The work of this company is quite unique, and will go a long way towards establishing or updating the identity of your company.
Maintenance and Updating
These days, it is significantly simpler to provide content for a web site. Due to the ever-changing nature of many businesses, web sites may require fairly frequent content updates. There is no reason your site updates should be prisoner to our schedule, unless that is what your business wants or needs. To that end, we can provide your company with a range of services to enable you to do your own maintenance. We provide the initial layout and content placement. We provide you with training on the system selected. You maintain your own web site, only contacting us with significant changes (to navigation, layout, colors, etc.)
Platforms used by our clients include:
- Wordpress
- Adobe Contribute
- PageLime
- Adobe Dreamweaver
- Kompozer
- Weebly
Our web site programming uses clean, easy to manage HTML and CSS code. It is well marked-up and commented, to make editing easier.
Classes
In addition to doing web development, Diva Deluxe Design can also offer custom classes to you or your group. Our main trainer is a certified MS Office 2003 and 2007 Master with over 10 years of training experience.
We offer training in Microsoft Windows; Microsoft Office products - Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook; HTML; CSS; Dreamweaver, Photoshop and more.
(At this time, we only offer training in Microsoft Windows-based environments.)
We can also provide remote on in-person workshops for homeschool or other groups, tutoring for special projects or classes, and business IT architecture consulting. Contact us for more information.
Classes are available for specific topics (like designing web sites, doing file management, creating powerpoint slideshows for classroom use) as well as more general ones such as upgrading to Office 2007, basic use of Word 2003 and more.
