Website Design and Development
Before we pretend to know the best design for your company, we want to know what makes your business tick. We look at your business and its needs relative to the requirements for success.
As a result ,we keep in mind your company’s profile (e.g. personality, character) as we design and develop your website’s marketing and usability features.

- Tell us about your competition, about their websites. What do you like/dislike about their site?
- What is the role you envision for your website in your marketing profile?
- What is your current and projected marketing budget? What is your budget for website design and development, maintenance, promotion? What percentage is that of your marketing budget?

About Maintenance
We offer two ways to make changes to your website: a customized Content Management System (CMS) in which your Administrator is in charge of all updates and/or a choice of Maintenance Contracts in which you instruct Sheffield to effect content updates.
Also, with or without our custom CMS, Sheffield is available on an hourly basis to make changes.
