Web Design and Development Chicago Based Firm

What can we do to advance your web presence today?

The people at ArtVersion Chicago Based Web Design and Development Agency are all about the power of simplicity. When it comes to corporate website presentations, they follow the theory “less-is-more” and they firmly believe in branding consistency.

Consistency is the ability to maintain a particular standard; in corporate website design, it is about making elements uniform and having them look and behave the same way. We often hear designers talk about consistent navigation, consistent page layouts, consistent fonts or consistent control elements. Consistency is a main factor in successful branding, not only for the logo but also for other marketing materials as well as online presence. Consistency is absolutely essential for a brand as it helps to deliver trust and confidence for the consumer or investor, as well as clarity of purpose and positioning of the corporation in the marketplace. In order to deliver an exceptional brand to consumers and other stakeholders, it is crucial to maintain the brand’s visual consistency from the inside out.

After all, it’s the first thing the potential customer will see; in today’s world wide web, it’s proven that consumers of the product, as well as a companies’ stakeholders and employees, often visit their brand’s website. It’s a place where they learn about company history, ethics, process and philosophy, and more!

ArtVersion's web development process is simple and straightforward. We use only top-of-the-line CMS open source software platforms, which allow your IT personal control over your own site by giving you the ability to change images, edit/add text, add new pages, make links, etc. With those CMS (Content Management Systems) they will be able to quickly and easily change your site content, making your changes or additions immediately available to your website visitors; all while keeping overall consistency of the website. Your website will use a main template that we will custom build for you to represent your company image. You will be able to find all of these functions mentioned earlier on the back-end, the administrative section of your website. This section is only available to you and your team members and can be accessed from any computer that can access the web. No special software is necessary. E-commerce processes and applications are also possible from these systems since they are very robust and even more expandable.

Depending on your project specifications for your new corporate web site, it could be up and running within as little as a couple of weeks. Your interaction with ArtVersion's staff during the development process is entirely dependent on how much time you choose to spend on the project. They can manage every step of the creative process on your behalf, or as you wish. The ArtVersion development team also programs the pages to make the information on every page more visible to the Search Engine spiders that continuously crawl the net.

Corporate Intranet and Extranet Portals

What is an Intranet?

An Intranet is a password-protected site containing non-public information that is generally only accessible by company employees.

What is an Extranet?

An Extranet is mainly used by external audiences, such as business partners, outside sales reps, and special customers; it can be password protected.

The present predicament for many corporations is the challenge of developing sophisticated Intranet and Extranet portals that effectively and consistently integrate with their corporate branding. Our solutions are designed to offer organizations an online branding tool that is either as simple and straightforward as one with limited content management functionality, or as complex as a fully integrated web solution with an employee Intranet, customer and partner Extranets, secure document libraries, interactive forms and surveys, and all other digital asset management tools.

The biggest challenge to all the similar Intranet and Extranet portal systems is that somebody needs to manage users who would be allowed to log in and see your corporation’s privileged information, templates and branding standards. You will save on maintenance costs because we made our system maintenance free, so your IT personal can concentrate on more important things than creating usernames and sending forgotten passwords. All company employees can self-create their logins and passwords, as long as the request is coming from within an allowed domain name. All intruders, competitors and general audience would be politely rejected from those pages. For instance, any employee that has a corporate email address would be able to log in; and yes, if your organization is using multiple domain names, we can include or exclude appropriate names, per your request. This ease of use, coupled with user-friendly security options, is just part of what makes our branding standards management platform very desirable.

All authorized personnel have ultimate access to all usernames created in the Intranet and Extranet portals, allowing them to instantly add, change, update or disable any part of an active user’s account. A user's passwords are encrypted and secured, even in this Administrator view, but lost passwords can always be retrieved through the "Forgot Password" form. This procedure eventually decreases your IT personnel’s management interaction by allowing employees to manage their own lost passwords and account information. The complete system is based on email addresses, so intruders without corporate email will not be able to pass through these steps. Forgotten passwords are emailed back, but only to authorized email domain names.

The simplest and the least expensive approach – which usually is more than adequate for most companies – is to keep subsidiary brands or product lines' branding standards under one portal, keeping all sub-brands under separate folders for easier user navigation. With that in mind, it allows maintenance of a strong and professional corporate presence without all the extra hassle. A centralized platform will not only cut implementation cost down but also free up the valuable time of an internal team when it comes to publishing redundant materials or announcements.

Email Marketing

Direct email marketing (EDM) is for email based campaigns in which standalone advertisements are sent to a targeted list of recipients, customers or prospects.

EDM has now established itself as a powerful marketing tool that is already an essential component of effective campaigns. Yet, however strong your message, eye-catching presentation and graphically pleasing elements are essential if you are wanting to make the most of your EDM campaign. This is where we can help - from conceptualization to complete EDM design and development, we can provide exceptional email design and compilation services, allowing you to make your sales message count. Contact us today; we will be happy to discuss and help you to send attractive, professional and compelling announcements.

A professionally designed direct email is essential to grab and hold interest, maximize response and maintain your brand integrity. It needs to be short, easy to understand and most importantly, has to have "Call for Action" elements. The EDM is usually written in HTML code that serves to attract recipients and trigger "Call for Action". A number of things make EDMs different from junk mail or other less sophisticated email messages. For example, you may use customer name personalization techniques so the recipient is addressed as an individual. In contrast to the bombardment approach of spam, the concept behind direct email marketing is that it makes more sense and is sent to a smaller group of recipients that are actually interested in receiving such messages. Direct email marketing campaigns are generally permission based opt-in and opt-out, rather than unsolicited commercial email.
