Services

My goal is to provide fine quality website design and support for companies and organizations who require a distinctive look for their website and a customer friendly, ongoing service relationship.

The trend in Web design is toward Content Management Systems (CMS) which allows clients to create pages and update information themselves rather than going through a web professional. While there's definite advantages to CMS, a number of serious pitfalls also exist. Cost savings often is an illusion when you total up your time spent on web updates instead of on your core business, for example. Not to mention start up costs. With Revenant, many clients feel they have an in-house person handling their site without having to pay taxes, benefits, vacation, training, software updates, computer upgrades, etc. Some sites can be taken care of for a few hundred dollars a year, without CMS. Something to consider. I'd be happy to discuss this further with you if you're interested. Everyone's needs are different and should be treated as such.

In addition to the initial site design, Revenant handles site updates: new photos, new stories, new pages, contact changes, adding of blogs, Flash elements, RSS feeds, etc. Changes will be made as soon as possible, often within a few hours and at most within a few days if the changes are simple and I have all the materials in hand. We welcome setting up phone consultations to plan together what's next for your site. Your hosting service can be managed by us, along with your email. Other services such as search engine optimization, detailed site statistics, contact forms, Captcha, newsletters, blogs, forums, advanced spam filtering, etc can be added at any time.

Please read the other Services pages for more detailed information on what Revenant offers. If you read this far, thanks! You must be seriously looking for an effective solution for your Web site needs. I hope you found something useful here.

Revenant Newsflash

Wordpress 2.7

This new version of Wordpress is a definite improvement. For simple sites that you want to manage yourself, it's a great low-cost alternative. You can purchase templates galore or use the free ones. If you go with wordpress.com, you don't even have hosting fees. Wordpress.org allows you to install WordPress on any server you want. But then you have to backup your files and update the system. To keep it really simple, go with wordpress.com. If you get stuck, give us a call. We can help you customize things or just figure out the interface.

Your are currently browsing this site with Internet Explorer 6 (IE6).

Your current web browser must be updated to version 7 of Internet Explorer (IE7) to take advantage of all of template's capabilities.

Why should I upgrade to Internet Explorer 7? Microsoft has redesigned Internet Explorer from the ground up, with better security, new capabilities, and a whole new interface. Many changes resulted from the feedback of millions of users who tested prerelease versions of the new browser. The most compelling reason to upgrade is the improved security. The Internet of today is not the Internet of five years ago. There are dangers that simply didn't exist back in 2001, when Internet Explorer 6 was released to the world. Internet Explorer 7 makes surfing the web fundamentally safer by offering greater protection against viruses, spyware, and other online risks.

Get free downloads for Internet Explorer 7, including recommended updates as they become available. To download Internet Explorer 7 in the language of your choice, please visit the Internet Explorer 7 worldwide page.
