Ozdachs believes that the Internet is a valuable tool that should be used intelligently as part of a business’s arsenal of communications, marketing, and sales weapons.

Internet technology, web strategy, and website content should be as clear and compelling as your other business materials.

Ozdachs approaches website development from a business perspective. We believe that you start with strategy. Then you start designing your site, always using common sense to make sure your efforts are commercially reasonable.

Your website should be about your business, not about our design ability. We design attractive, simple, user-friendly sites. However, the site’s focus is always on your business needs.

We design your website from a marketing perspective.

What does this mean?

  • We know visitors are grabbed by pictures of cute pets, children, and pretty young men and women. We shamelessly use our dogs and attractive stock photos to get our clients sites visited.

  • We use appropriate technology.

    Galen’s computer systems background reinforces his understanding that just because you can do something with technology, that doesn’t mean you should.

    Your site should always be clear and easy for a visitor to navigate and understand. Moving graphics, videos, and pop-ups should be used strategically to help engage your client. Don’t splatter them all over your site to show off how with-it you are.

What We Do That Other Consultants Don’t

We Maintain Websites!

We are happy to update and maintain your website. We maintain and update sites that we created. We maintain and update sites that other designers created.

We Update Websites

Ozdachs updated a site for a Marin Estate Planning Attorney to add search engine optimization and marketing techniques to an already published, excellent looking design. We edited a sculptor’s site to publicize her new contact phone number and current exhibition schedule.

While some web developers want only to create new sites and looks, Ozdachs also enjoys doing the small changes that make a well designed site an excellent tool for your business and its customers.

Websites need maintenance. They need periodic updating.

Maintenance includes changes to:

  • Special events and announcements
  • Opening hours
  • Staff
  • Product mixes
  • Updating a website includes changing the looks and style of all of the pages.

Website standards evolve and an excellent web presence starts looking as dated as a 1970’s polyester suit. Your perfectly wonderful web site suddenly makes you look like an old fogy.

  • Background music disappears
  • Unsolicited pop-up windows fall out of favor
  • Monitors get larger so websites get wider
  • Graphics grow larger as typical visitor Internet connection speed increases
  • Screen geometry becomes “responsive” so that your content looks great on big monitors, tablets, and smart phones.

Updating your website to the current fashion is smart business.
