Websites
Websites are about storytelling and education. You want your audience to learn something and/or get in touch with you. We build fantastically-designed sites that make you look amazing.
Exceptional Websites to Achieve Your Goals
A website that looks beautiful, but doesn't achieve your business goals is a failure. Our Websites practices produce fantastic sites that look amazing and are intentionally designed to get you the results you need.
Craft
Craft is a relative newcomer that has wowed us with its flexibility, ease of implementation, and powerful ecosystem. We recommend it for most website projects of size.
Drupal
Drupal is the central powerhouse of open-source content management. It comes ready and equipped to power websites both big and small. We know how to take advantage of all its strengths and customize it to suit any needs or configurations.
WordPress
WordPress is, by far, the most widely used CMS in the world — and it's easy to see why. It's easy to get started and has a wide-scale infrastructure of supporting plugins, services, and software that work with WordPress. We recommend it for simpler sites or for organizations already used to WordPress.
ExpressionEngine
We love ExpressionEngine for our partners — it's everything you'd want in a content management system: It's powerful, flexible, easy to use, and it deftly handles sites, apps, and ecommerce with ease.
Squarespace
There isn't a simpler way for non-technical users to get a website up quickly. While it's limited in what it can do compared to other options, it's great for certain cases.
Ongoing Website Support / Holistic Maintenance Plans
If another company designed and/or built your current site, know that we regularly adopt these sites like they are our own. We also offer Holistic Maintenance Plans that provide ongoing, consistent attention to maintain and grow your website.
Websites Designed for Results
It seems that nowadays anyone can construct a website and although we’re known around here as “the Sites” team, we do far more than just "make" websites. We’re storytellers. We're showmen. We're craftsmen. We craft compelling digital experiences; experiences that our client-partners share with their users. Anyone can build a themed website on SquareSpace, Wix, etc, but only few can create experiences that are uniquely tailored to your brand and intentionally honed to resonate with your audience. What we do is artful, intentional and for companies who what their website to stand for something.
A great website is the sum of five parts: Compelling content, beautiful visual design, intentional organization & architecture, easy-to-manage tech, and easy-to-connect to marketing campaigns. Our website's practice is a diverse group of experts to deliver a great website your business needs.
Our website practices work frequently with these CMS platforms:
- WordPress
- Craft
- Drupal
- Expression Engine
- Squarespace
- A menagerie of other CMSs (Umbraco, Joomla, Concrete5, etc)
Our website projects always start with a lot of intentional meetings so that our entire team understands your business requirements and we then put together a plan to get you the results you want. Traditionally these projects follow a general waterfall project management format (Discovery > Design > Development > Marketing > Launch > Support), and new website projects range from 4-12 weeks from start to finish.
Our websites team is also staffed intentionally around ongoing maintenance — we monitor, backup, and maintain each site so you don't have to worry about hacking or other security risks. Our team is also available directly in your CMS if you need any help managing your content or updating your site over time.
Beyond new sites where we do everything, we also regularly collaborate with other teams or agencies to ensure your website's success. Collaboration is one of our core values and we love the opportunity to work with others to see your vision be created. Also, a lot of our website clients come to us with a site already built — we're totally open to adopting your website and being your ongoing agency of record. It's not a turf war, we'd love to help even if we didn't design or originally create it.
