With all of the web design firms out there, what makes Ryan Design Studio special?
1. Design - Branding is the key to repeat business on the web; if a site looks great it will make an impression on the visitor and they are much more likely to return. Many web design firms are great at the programming aspect, but lack the design skill to make a site look as good as it functions. We not only offer the programming aspect, but the expertise of professionally trained designers to really make your site shine. Just take a look at our portfolio and you'll see for yourself the level of design we bring to the table.
2. Customer Service - The web design industry often gets a bad reputation for web designers who create a site and then disappear, leaving the client with a site they can't update or edit. When you hire us, we are always available for support, even long after your site has launched. There are no hidden costs or service contracts to sign, we have a simple hourly fee. Some of our clients have been with us for over 10 years. Take a look at what some of our clients have had to say.
3. Speed - Nothing is more frustrating than having to wait. We pride ourselves in our fast turnaround time for both the initial project and any follow-up edits. Updates or changes to your existing web site are often picked up the next day, and a new site can be online in as little as two weeks. We also try to answer e-mails and phone calls the same day they are received.
4. Honesty - We know there are many shady businesses on the web, and respect your reluctance to spend your hard-earned money on something as subjective as design. We guarantee that we will deliver your project within budget, on-time and most importantly, that you will be happy with the final product.
5. Technical Expertise - The web is constantly changing and evolving. What is common practice today may be completely different tomorrow. We pride ourselves on keeping up to date on the latest trends and techniques so that your site is code compliant, optimized for the search engines and most importantly, accessible to everyone. After all, what good is a web site if it can't be viewed by half of your potential clients?
6. Experience - we have designed and built over 300 E-Commerce sites, and that gives us a unique perspective on what works and what doesn't. When you hire us, you get not only a new site, but advice on the best practices for improving sales, shopping cart conversion, accounting, shipping, taxation, marketing, Search Engine Optimization and a whole host of other topics.
7. We do the work - many developers farm their work out to Indian and Russian developers while letting you assume they are doing the work themselves. This lets them be more profitable, but also leaves your site in the hands of people you don't know. All of our work is done in-house - meaning if you ask me to change the code on your site, I'm the one who does it. We occasionally work with third party mod developers such as websitecm.com and bcsengineering.com for add-on module customization, but all of our design and X-Cart setup is done exclusively by Ryan Design Studio.
