Truly elegant design incorporates top-notch functionality into a simple uncluttered form. Tension Design prides itself on approaching every project with passion, research and unique creativity. Our approach, tuned through years of experience is simple and effective. We believe websites should be updated frequently to keep up with user demands, the latest technology, and design trends. Good design will eliminate all unnecessary details. With the ever growing number of people accessing the web, your website needs to work on all devices such as desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smart phones. Users want the information and they want it fast. Every detail goes into our site design to ensure the user does not have to think. Web design is responsive design. Responsive web design is web design done right. It's art if it can't be explained. It's fashion if no one asks for an explanation. It's design if it doesn't need an explanation. Always remember the web is the ultimate customer-empowering environment. He or she who clicks the mouse gets to decide everything. It is so easy to go elsewhere; all the competitors in the world are but a click away.
Every website we release has the option for further dynamic development. We can custom program your own E-Commerce solution for selling products online. Our custom shopping carts are tailored to our clients with a full CMS (content management system), and secure administration area. The beauty of our custom CMS system, is its built in organizational features. All content is created, managed, published and edited from a single location with simple, easy to use tools. Member management can be added to control all aspects of your website's users. The administrator will have full control over how many users can access this portal and how much control they have. Another part of our website development is the blogging platform. A Blog is a great way to keep your users / customers up-to-date with your companies latest specials, news, or events. Tension Design can install the latest Wordpress framework and custom skin it to match the look and feel of your existing website. This will allow you to fully manage and update your own website in a very easy and basic manor.
Design in the absence of content is not design, it's decoration. Note: content precedes design. One of the key aspects of SEO (search engine optimization) is giving useful information through good design and high quality writing, all this passing through clean code with cross-browser support will help increase the number of visitors to your website and further a higher position in the search engines. How many times have you searched to find what you were looking for, only to find the website was so poorly designed, nonfunctional, or hard to navigate, you went elsewhere? This happens everyday. Users want simple, functional, quick loading pages built around a modern clean design. Having good, relevant content is the most important aspect of Search Engine Optimization. The content needs to be suitably useful for users who you would want to find your website. The content must make sense and appeal to the reader in order to make them come back. Just as important as having great content, is having regularly updated content. Fresh content will bring in users and the search engines alike which in turn will let your site get indexed at a higher frequency which will return fresher results in searches. Don't feed pages full of industry jargon that just confuse visitors. The user and Google can see right through this!
Unfortunately this seems to be the most important question we get asked. It appears most clients don't ask how long we have been in business, or if we out-source, (we do not out-source... ever!) use templates, or how are customer support is (we retain a 100% customer satisfaction rating). Below you will find a good starting point on how we base our pricing. We do offer different tiers of discounts depending on the project and we always do our best to work within a clients budget and goal.
