What's the difference between Artemis Computing and other web site developers?

The short answer is that we differentiate ourselves by our holistic approach to site design and our level of personal control over site design execution. The most effective web site designs aren't just based on looks, they are also influenced by site purpose and function. We help you develop your ideas and translate them for the web. We work with your graphic designer, one we recommend, or from your logo, photos, and drawings.

The long answer is that there are several parts to this discussion because of the way the web has exploded with so many people with a wide array of skills and backgrounds creating web sites.

Besides classifying web site developers as small or large firms, amateur, hobbyist, or professional, web site developers can also be distinguished by their professional background; such as graphic design, publishing, programming, or marketing. Each background brings a different skill set with different approaches and solutions to challenges. The most effective web sites employ skills from each of these areas of expertise.

Like most other professional developers, Artemis Computing differentiates ourselves from nonprofessional developers by the overall quality of our sites. Long term web site performance is greatly influenced by design details which nonprofessionals are usually unaware of. This is particularly true for small business and portfolio sites.

We also differentiate ourselves by the number of levels our designs function on. Not only do sites need to be attractive visually, they need to perform on a wide variety of platforms, and communicate effectively with both human and nonhuman visitors. Our pages load quickly (ask us about 'the eight second rule') but also have features that cable users can appreciate. Sites are designed with search engines and maintenance in mind.

It's rare to find small developers with as much breadth & talent as Artemis Computing, and even rarer to match Artemis's level of personal attention and partnership.
