Websites
Websites have come a long way in the past few years. With the advent
of streaming video, Java script, XML and other advanced languages
and programs the Internet is getting closer to real time television
every day. Digital Solutions is based on creating video graphics in
all formats supported by the Internet today. Downloadable AVI or MOV
files are now being streamed over the net to deliver faster more pleasant
viewing video presentations.
Website
Design
Websites are a very visual way of conveying your message through cyberspace.
Today there are an estimated 2,000,000 web pages being created and
posted on the Internet daily. Websites fall into two basic categories.
They are either a commercial website or a graphically informative
website.
First
is the commercial website. Commercial websites are created with the
intent of creating revenues for the represented company and business.
This type of site will contain sufficient graphics to grab the eye
of the browser then lead them directly to the business of advertising
the company's product. These types of sites are informative and have
been shown to produce increased marketing results and profit.
The
second type of website is a highly graphic site designed simply to
draw the attention of prospective clients to your door. If you are
in a highly profitable business that depends on personal contact to
attract or close a client, this is your ticket. While being highly
graphic in nature, this type of site is developed with one sole purpose.
To inform the public of your existence and what your abilities are.
By the use of information gathering software the website can automatically
create a prospective client database to be used to advertise your
product.
Whether
you are in direct sales (e-commerce) or real estate sales or promotion,
a properly created website can create new contacts and sales by drawing
the attention of prospective clients in cyberspace.
During the Christmas season of 2000, e-commerce websites noted an
increase of over 700% in on-line sales over the previous year. The
reason being is that most purchasers want product information first
to create their own opinion without driving, shopping, in-store comparisons
and rude sales people. After their decision is made they are simply
looking for the best price and delivery. With this ease in purchasing
more and more people are turning to the Internet for their needs.
Requirements
for a successful website creation. Input, Input, Input! The more
the web designer knows about your business, the more accurate the
site representation of your business will be. Many existing companies
have marketing information already in existence. Review this information
for accuracy and include it in the input package. Graphics are also
a very important form of input. Photos should be in focus with good
color balance, brightness, contrast and clarity.
Staff
photos with individual professional biographies are a very good way
of advertising the abilities of your associates. Talk with other companies
in your field to arrange for website links, if desired. These links
are quick shortcuts to another web page expanding your information
database. In the case of real estate sales many realtor websites link
to www.global-escrow.com to fill in the title and escrow information.
Jorge Rodriguez has done an excellent job of including everything
an individual needs to know about closing, titles, escrow and mortgaging
in Mexico.
Video
and other downloadable information can be created on pages representing
a specific product linked to the overall website, as in a specific
page to represent a prime piece of real estate. These items can be
information representations, input gathering forms, feedback forms,
information requests or simply an individuals addition to your personal
mailing list database to be used to send out monthly information your
client base of new developments and changes.
Schedule
and Budget
Websites start at a cost of $1,000-USD and up depending on the complexity
of the website. Typical turnaround is 2 weeks after delivery of input
material. A typical $1K website will consist of roughly 10 pages and
include all information pertinent for contacting your business, full
optimization of graphics and text and any other type of interactive
media you see fit to attract interest.
We
at Digital Solutions create websites, digital video, virtual interactive
tours and marketing creations on your choice of format. Be it on the
Internet, CD, DVD or VHS tape, our products are meant to create results.
All real-time video is created in DVCAM format. We also create custom
software to aid in any form of marketing or advertisement information
gathering to be incorporated into your existing in-house computer
software and network.
We
also create graphically realistic animated virtual walk/fly through
presentations from architectural plans. This tool aids in showing
a finished structure before any excavation or permits are obtained.
These animation's can be overlayed onto real video of the sight to
allow a realistic presentation of the finished product. These studies
also allow for ergonomic studies designed to the specific physical
dimensional characteristics of the owner's bodies. By placing these
models of the owner's bodies into any room we can determine the overall
usability of the finished home.
