WEB DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT —

We've been building web pages and designing web-sites since the mid-1990's. A lot has changed since then but some things remain the same:

  • Hard Work
  • Creativity
  • Good Tools

Web design tools have come and gone over the years and we've tried a fair number of applications to create web-pages. Currently, Parsonage Data Services uses Adobe's Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Fireworks to design our web sites. While there is nothing like hand-coded pages and style-sheets, we use design and development tools built by companies like WebAssist to save us time, save you money and deliver a quality product. For many of our legacy web sites, we use Macromedia's venerable HomeSite HTML editor. Despite it's age, it is still one of the best HTML editors out there.

One Size Does Not Fit All

Our basic philosophy is "The Right Tool For the Right Job". This applies to technology, design and development. We do not use a cookie-cutter approach to designing web sites nor are we afraid to use an older design if that is what it takes to get your message across. If a simple photo-gallery or news-ticker fits the needs of your site then that is what we use. Our goal is to create simple, direct web sites that are easy to maintain and require a minimum of load-time.

We Design And Develop Web Sites


Your site

That's our job and we've been doing in since 1995. Whether we build a site from scratch or use a pre-existing template, we build web sites to fit your needs and budget. If your requirements are a simple one-page wonder or a full-fledged multi-page site with menu-driven navigation, no job is too small for Parsonage Data Services.

Our goal is to develop web-sites with a clean design and minimum load-time for each page. We hand code our web pages so that the multitude of search engines in use today can find the information they need to give your site the highest possible ranking. The last thing we want is for your web-pages to be lost in a crowd of of competing sites. Your message is important to us and we do our very best to ensure that your site is found sooner rather than later.

No Dancing Monkeys

Our design philosophy eschews the whiz-bang gimmickry that characterises so many sites on the web today. A dancing monkey may be cute but does it really add value to your message? We don't think so. The simplest approach to presenting your message is often the best. Simple, basic, design that works is what we have built our reputation upon.

We Do E-Commerce

Whether you're a small restaurant that wants to sell souvenir caps and t-shirts or a larger business that wants to sell your products to as wide an audience as possible, Parsonage Data Services can build your on-line store-front. We have a selection of e-commerce solutions available that will fit your needs. Don't limit your sales hours to just 9-to-5. With e-commerce, your check-out counter is open 24 hours a day.

Legacy Web-sites

If you already have an existing web site but it’s information is out of date or it needs a fresh look or needs an enhancement like e-commerce, Parsonage Data Services can help. Together, we can help market your site to give you the greatest exposure to the public. Even if your site only requires a care-taker role, we will treat you site and its contents like it was our own.

Content Is King

There is nothing worse than a web site that has nothing to say. There are plenty of this kind of site around the web. Someone had a great idea and perhaps even had some great graphics for their site but the actual content is missing in action. If you’re at a loss as to what to say or simply don’t have the time or background to turn your message into content for your site, Parsonage Data Services can help. Our award-winning associate staff of professional writers can help turn your message and ideas into web site content that you can be proud of and will help your business grow.
