Creative Web Design

Parareal Studios offers a full site design suite that will take you from concept to production.  We start with your ideas and create a site that will allow your business to grow. Our website management tools give you the power to maintain the site yourself through an easy to use web interface. This gives you the ability to update your content, continue to draw new customers and keep the ones you already have.  Your needs are our top priority.  We pride ourselves in giving you what you need for your site, not what will cost you the most.

Dynamic and Manageable Content

Parareal Studio’s dynamic content offers you the ability to create and manage relationships with your customers. Create and manage mailing lists, send mass email to your customers and easily update/change the content of your site.  By leveraging the powerful PHP scripting language and a backend database (usually comes standard with most web site hosts) Parareal Studios can put you in control of your site. Parareal uses a design concept which puts you in control, allowing changes to be done easily via a powerful, easy to use, and secure web page.  We enable you to be in control without needing any additional skills.  No longer will you need to incur costs for simple changes.  This is very handy for the small business owner.

Logo Design or Adaptation

If you are in need of a web logo we can create one for you.  Our graphic designer has more than twenty-five years experience and excels at this kind of work. We will work with you conceptually to provide a unique logo that reflects your mission statement.

We can also adapt your existing logo for use on website.

Security

Security is a big issue these days and it must be factored into quality web design as well.  Poorly written code can make your website vulnerable to malicious hackers.  Parareal Studios writes its own code making sure security is built in from the start.  Out of the box content management systems allow the world to see their source code.  This makes it much easier for hackers to exploit security flaws in the code.  No one will have access to your source, since it is not offered for public perusal.  This adds a much needed extra layer of security for your Web Site.

Customer Relationship Management

A good relationship with your customer base is invaluable to any business. Long lasting customer relationships are developed by soliciting customer comments and suggestions, and responding when appropriate. A great option offered by Parareal Studios gives you the ability to include an online sign up form within your site allowing you to build a mailing list and customer database. Although, this is not an uncommon feature, the great thing about it is that we can customize it to your specific needs. Again, a generic mailing list need not be used.

Programming Languages

Parareal uses a mixture of html, PHP, and javascript to control the websites we build. We often utilize a backend database to provide dynamic content and control.  We feel this gives us great flexibility in our design.

This kind of service is called Content Management.  There are many content management systems available, but most offer more than the business customer needs and tend to lock the design into one particular style.  There is no reason for you to spend time getting rid of features you don’t need.  We will furnish your website with only the features needed and nothing more.  If your needs change in the future then more features can be built upon the existing design.  This allows you to expand without having to start over.

Sometimes less is more. Our goal is provide an attractive, clean, and easy to use web site.  We do not use flash or shockwave.  Both tools have many great features and continue to expand their foothold in the web, but still require a third party plug-in in order to display content.  There are a number of users who do not desire to install this plug-in, do not understand what a plug-in is, or are wary of plug-ins due to security risks. The site should be clean and streamlined and not require much effort for your customers.
