We make websites.
In other words, our main business is professional web design and development of websites, as well as SEO, promotion and maintenance. IT Laboratory is a team of professional web designers and web developers.
Below is, what we can offer to you in detail.
Design specification (design spec)
If you have a detailed design spec for your website, we can implement it exactly as described. If you don’t have the spec, but would like to work using the spec, we can prepare it for you. However, please understand that in order to do that we spend extra time and cost of the design spec may be up to 50% of the whole website development.
Working without a spec, we can work using information taken during the interview. Whether we have a spec or not, we always can speak the same language.
Web design
Once the interview is completed or we’ve got a spec, we make a mock up of your website.
Before that, we have to understand your preferences, look at websites you like look and feel of, or propose a few our examples of web design.
We make changes on the mock-up until you are 100% happy with it. Then, we implement the mock-up into a real website.
Semantic, cross-browser, W3C valid websites
Basically, all the webpages are written using special languages — HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and CSS (Cascade Style Sheet) and the better these languages are, the better your browser loads the webpage and the better search engines find it. It also affect how the webpage is shown in different web browsers on different platforms.
We know all about latest HTML and CSS standards and we can guarantee the best quality of your webpages.
Content management system (CMS)
If you are looking for a “static” website, where web pages are never going to change, then you can skip the next two paragraphs.
CMS lets you easily manage your website content, add/remove web pages, posts, news, goods or any other objects, upload pictures, music and video stuff, manage your website comments and forum posts. Usually, all our websites have such a capability. Does not matter, if the website is built on top of a open source CMS or it is custom built, you get a full-featured CMS which satisfies all your needs.
Domain name registration and web hosting
If you bought your domain name and web hosting already, no problem. If not, we being a partner of a webhosting provider, can help you to register your own domain name and get reliable and inexpensive web hosting able to run even “heavy” websites. You will get full featured control panel, visitor statistics, unlimited ftp and mail accounts and 24/7 customer service.
Copyright, website content
Even though you’ve got a website with an excellent web design and powerful easy-to-use CMS, this is not enough. The content is the boss. You need a quality text and images to publish on your website. We can help you with publishing, however you have to provide us with it. We collaborate with copyrighters, so they can write search engine optimized web content for you, just keep in mind it will cost you some extra money.
Search engine optimization (SEO)
SEO is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results as opposed to search engine marketing (SEM) which deals with paid inclusion. Typically, the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.
You get basic SEO free of charge with your website development.
Website promotion and web marketing
When your website is up and running, it appears on search engine listings anyway. The question is what the keywords are and what your website search engine rank is.
In order to put your website higher in the search result by the keywords containing your items or services, some activity has to be done. This is called website promotion.
Website maintenance
If, for some reason, you cannot maintain your website by yourself, we can help you with making regular backups, changing your website content or price lists etc.
