Our Philosophy We design stunning websites that surpass mere existence and become an engaging experience.

As far as web design goes, we have one goal: to bring about the destruction of all template and unengaging websites on the planet, or maybe at least the region.  We feel passionate about this objective because these websites have been proven to cause eye strain.  Seriously though, here’s our approach. We sit down with our clients, sometimes over coffee, sometimes over hot chocolate, and listen to their specific needs. We then go back to our office and construct a website that is tailored specifically for their business or organization.  From outstanding design, well thought through user – friendly layouts and full content management capabilities, to custom web applications. If you can dream it, we can do it…unless it involves teleportation, then we might not, but everything else we can do.

The Blueprint

Some of the worst construction disasters can either be traced back to poor planning or that quiet guy in the corner who isn’t quite sure which side of the hammer to use.  Minus the hammer guy, the same happens to websites that are thrown together without the crucial blueprint phase.

 

Unlike general contractors, these mistakes can’t be covered up with wood putty and prayers against a strong wind. The mistakes in a website are readily available to be seen and judged by the public and potential customers. That is why we take pride in our ability to set up and follow a detailed blueprint, from start to successful finish.

What do you think of when you see the words: Flash, ajax, php, html, javascript, SQL, etc.? If your answer has anything to do with your Alphabet cereal this morning, then I guess technically you’re right, although we were kind of hoping to go down a more business related path. Sidenote: maybe it’s time to upgrade to Wheaties, you’re a big kid now.

No, my friends, the answer we were looking for was: these words are the key to an outstanding website.

To our designers and web programmers these words allow them to couple your dream with their creative talents to create a website that is unique in its ability to attract and sustain your target customer. These are more than just the simple ABC’s of website design, they are the X-factor.

Like a modern day team of Michelangelos equipped with Photoshop, our design team makes websites shine like the Sistine Chapel. The websites aren’t just meant to be pretty to look at, they engage visitors and allow them to easily navigate the site without the hassle of a tour guide.

A modern High Renaissance piece for the viewing pleasure of your visitors, all without the outrageous tourist fees and goofy sandals.

A common denominator at Redplum is “Test”. This is just one of the elements that separates Redplum from other agencies. Our patented process (well not really, but it is a competitive advantage) ensures creative concepts and design work, properly work as a function of your business by subjecting every page to a test or trial run.  This translates into a fully engaged and completely blown away audience.

Some people like to keep their websites under their pillow with them while they sleep, for safe keeping.  While this may be comforting, it isn’t necessarily the best option and can sometimes send mixed signals to the Tooth Fairy.  To avoid a kinked neck in the morning and an embarrassing mix-up with a fictional character, we can instead store your website in a safe, more accessible location for your visitors.

Stephen King writes some good horror stories, but we have heard a few doozies from what we like to call our clients’ “pre-plum age”. These include Season’s Greetings messages in the middle of April (and we don’t mean “Happy Spring!” messages, although that would be kind of nice) and pictures from last year’s company picnic taking center stage on front page (Remember Dave from accounting? Yeah, he quit six months ago).

 

Websites are often left cold and in the corner, neglected, because people do not have access to update their own content, or are only allowed limited access. We provide you with full access to updating your website, which allows for increased SEO, and keeping content relevant. Your website will feel warm and comfortable.

Imagine this, you are getting ready to host a big party, the house is spotless, the table is set, hot delicious food is simmering in the oven, the drinks are poured and… no one shows up. Great looking websites know this feeling if they aren’t properly optimized for search engines. 

 

From optimizing Googlebot spiders, keyword target identification, content delivery systems, we are here to optimize your website.  So crank up the tunes and serve the drinks, because we’re bringing the party to your domain.
