Web Sites and Portals 

• Design a site -- Site design is far more than colors, fonts, graphics, and layout. Good site design begins with intelligent, user-friendly information architecture. The Foundry learns your business, anticipates the information and services site users may seek, and then architects the site to serve those users -- potential clients, current clients/customers, job seekers, your employees and others. Then the Foundry creates user-friendly, powerful visual designs that reflect and promote your business.
  
  
• Construct a site using the technology that fits best  -- The Foundry can build your entire Web site for you, or we can work with your organization's developers to help them build a site. Foundry developers and designers are proficient developing sites using HTML, DHTML, XML, .NET, AJAX, ASP, Java, ActiveX, JavaScript, VBScript, Acrobat, Flash and other technologies.
  
  
• Upgrade an existing site -- You may have already launched a site, but perhaps you want it to run more efficiently, be more dynamic, offer additional content and services, handle greater loads and generally accomplish more. The Foundry can:
• Convert a static set of HTML pages to a fully interactive site.
• Design and install advanced features for your site - such as:
• Interactive surveys/quizzes.
• Dynamic online maps.
• Calendars and event registration systems.
• Redesign your site's organization, layout, and look/feel.
• Improve the back-end programming and tools on which your site runs to improve performance and ease of publishing.
• Assist with search-engine placement and results.
  
  
• Commerce-enable a site. The Foundry can add e-commerce capability to an existing site or any newly-built site. Examples:
• Online donations.
• Membership sign-ups.
• Event registrations.
• Online stores, with complex shopping cart capabilities.
  
  
• Provide you with the tools to edit and update your own site -- The Foundry has developed a powerful, yet affordable content management system (CMS) that allows clients to edit their own sites, without calling on developers each time a change needs to be made. The Foundry can install the CMS using a design provided by another party or incorporate a design the Foundry develops.
