At JDB, we understand that a successful website meets clearly identified goals and provides compelling content that draws your audience to your site again and again. A good site is easy to navigate and is attractively designed to complement the content. 

A strong design coupled with JDB's Content Management Solutions (CMS), the right level of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and a clear and distinct message and branding provides our customers with the complete solution that they require.
 
We don't allow our developers "play" with design any more than we allow our designers to try their hands at complex applications development. Instead, we leverage professional designers, application developers, content editors and SEO experts to develop a custom web site that meets each customer's unique goals and objectives. We think it's the only way to build web sites.

Why should you have JDB Associates build your web site instead of that low cost web design firm?

First and foremost, JDB Associates is a professional web development organization.  We have built, from the ground up, complex e-commerce and web-based business applications.  While your local web design firm may be able to crank out a functional web site using the templates in the CMS package that they sell, they will be at a loss when it comes to complex development and integration opportunities that your business may require.  While they may tell you that they can do everything they are probably scrambling behind the scenes to find a subcontractor to do the work for them.  We get calls from these firms all of the time.  What happens when it breaks and the independent that did the work has moved on?  What happens when they give the project to a self-taught junior wannabe developer to save money?  Do you really want your critical business system to be a test to see if this developer will sink or swim?  If they sink does your business go with them? 

Examples of where this came into play with JDB customers:

• Customer X wanted their complete inventory with photos on their web site.  This inventory already resided in another system.  Less experienced web design houses would probably develop a solution requiring you to maintain your inventory on both systems, but JDB was able to tie directly in to the customer’s existing inventory and save them considerable time and money.  JDB was also able to create complex search and filtering features to allow them to sort and filter by year, make, new/used and price to make on-line browsing quick and easy for their customers. 
• Customer Y wanted to take information only available internally through their primary business application and provide it to their customers so they could look up bills of material, find drawings and instruction manuals, and allow their users to order replacement parts on their own – freeing up their internal service parts personnel from this time consuming task for other customer service functions.  JDB created a robust web-based system allowing this function to be provided to their entire customer base across the globe.  It was a huge win for the customers and the company.
• Company Z needed an e-Commerce solution, but certain aspects of the packaged solution they had didn’t meet their internal needs.  With JDB’s in-house application development talent, we were able to modify these core features to match the customer’s business processes and needs allowing their software to support their business instead of their business adapting to their software.

So, you can roll the dice with a web design firm and hope that they don’t get in over their heads, or you can choose a firm that has assembled the best designers, Content Management Solution (CMS) professionals, architects and developers to provide you with a full range of services that you know you can depend on. 

• Compelling Content - do people have a reason to visit your site, and to return?
• Easy to Navigate - can customers immediately find what they are looking for?
• Visually Pleasing - do you get a headache just looking at the home page or does it leave your customers with the carefully crafted message that you selected?
