The Roberts Group provides Web development services including hosting, maintenance, and design. Web sites are indicators of your professionalism, the quality of your product, and the way you do business. You wouldn't send your company brochure out on a handwritten scrap of notebook paper, would you? Then don't send out your electronic message in an equally low quality style.
Successful Web sites deliver useful information, and they are easy and quick to use. Most of us go to the Web for instant gratification — we need information and we want it now. We skip Web sites that have slow loading graphics, and we don't return to Web sites that are difficult to use.
When The Roberts Group designs a Web site, we focus on these elements: quick loading graphics; lean and precise writing; and an attractive, easy-to-use design. We want to draw your visitors in with a clean, professional look and then keep them there with solid information and frustration-free site navigation. We're not big on bells and whistles and obnoxious animated figures that serve no purpose. Readers are bored with Web antics and won't give time to them.
If you need a host for a site you are developing, or need a new host for one already developed, see our information on Web Hosting services.
If you're looking for someone to design, produce, and maintain your site, see the menu of services listed below.
To see some of the work we've done, visit some of our clients' sites.
The Web sites we produce typically use backend databases to help the sites current and alive. For example, calendars can be kept fresh by automatically pruning old items from the page. You don't have to worry about visitors coming to your site and seeing last month's —or last year's — events listed.
We also can incorporate special areas of your site where you or your staff can add updates or breaking news at a moment's notice.
If you're selling products or services online, we can add e-commerce features to any Web site.
Many of our book and newsletter clients find that they eventually want to migrate some of their printed materials to Web pages on the Internet.
We're in the perfect position to help.
Our Web services as an adjunct to the full range of editorial services we offer. Because we understand both the print side of the business and the electronic side, we can anticipate problems in bridging the gap between the two.
Because of the incredible number of variables involved, we hesitate to post a price list for our design services. If you'll start a discussion with us about your Web site needs, we'll work with you to develop a plan for your site that that will fit your budget. We work on all sizes of sites, from those with one or two pages that are rarely updated to those with hundreds of pages where some updates occur most every day.
We're not a mill churning out Web sites by template. We work to craft a design that will enhance your message and give your visitors a pleasurable experience. We strive to create a high quality Web site and to devote energy into maintaining it as your business needs dictate.
