A word from our clients

Here's how we can help you
-
Strategy
All web sites have goals and all web pages have purposes. We will strategize with you to make sure we are not only building a website that represents your vision well, but one that allows you to see a positive return on your investment. The site must orient the users, engage them and make them feel that the site is worth exploring. Users who feel frustrated, or are not able to complete desired tasks on a website, report negative experiences, most often due to poor usability and weak content. Our goal is to create positive encounters every time a user visits the site.
-
Design
Studies show that in less time it takes to blink, people make aesthetic judgments that influence the rest of their experience with a website (and therefore with the people behind the website). Once a visitor comes to the your website, our main focus will always be on encouraging exploration and leading them down a path which helps you reach your online goals. Altera Web creates websites that are focused, clean and simple. Users’ attention is a finite resource and it is our job to help them find what they want as efficiently as possible.
-
Development
We will be using the WordPress content management system as the backbone of your website. WordPress is the most popular CMS on the market today, with over 30% of all websites being run on WordPress in 2021. And we will also be utilizing the most user-friendly premium page builder on the market, allowing you to make updates simply and quickly. Full training will be provided. And naturally, the website will be mobile-friendly and SEO-friendly as well!
