Æsthetic Images provides Web design, development, and management services in several areas. We will work with you to do any or all of the following, as appropriate to your site and your needs:

	Envisioning — Define your aims and objectives for your web site, including your business or æsthetic goals, the attitude/atmosphere you want to project, and of course your budget.
	Audience definition — Identify the people you aim to reach and the goals they have (mostly involving finding information) that you want your site to help them achieve.
	Information design — Define and organize your content and your message so that your site will make sense to your audience and will help them find what they seek. Define the interconnections among the content areas. Refine your content to make the writing appropriate for the Web and for your audience.
	Interaction design — Determine the level of interactivity the site will have. Design how people will navigate your site and how it will present them with choices and feedback.
	Visual design — Create page layouts, color schemes, and digital images to communicate the mood you envision. Through collaboration with our outside graphic design expert, create a logo and other graphics for your site.
	Site construction — Build the web pages that constitute your site, and test them to make sure that the design works as intended. Create an icon from your logo for site visitors' "Favorites" list. (We use Macromedia Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop, cascading style sheets, and JavaScript.)
	Search engine support — Define keywords and descriptive information to help search engines find your site. Submit your site to search engines. Link to your site from our Portfolio page, to help improve your visibility in search results lists.
	Site management — Assist you in finding an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and in registering your domain name. Upload the content to your web space. Maintain the content. If your ISP supports it, maintain your email addresses and other site hosting features.
	Additional services — We have a substantial library of stock photography that is available for you to license for Web use. Our graphic design collaborator can also assist you with printed materials — such as flyers, brochures, and business cards — that incorporate your logo and coordinate with the look of your web site. We can incorporate any images, sounds, and movies that you provide.

If you already have a web site and want to improve or enhance it, we can also provide a usability/accessibility assessment to support design enhancement. We review your site from the perspective of your intended audience, looking at how well it meets best practice in Web usability and accessibility design and how well it supports your audience in reaching their goals. This produces a report of "what's good" and "what could use improvement " about your site.

We've been doing Web design and development work since early 1997 and have been involved in usability and interaction design since 1982. Here is a portfolio of our more recent work.
