What makes a great website?
A great website is one where "form follows function." We feel it's really important that the site is intuitive to navigate, following conventions that people just "know" about interacting with content.
A great website is one that works equally well on mobile devices as well as desktops and laptops. Because phones and tablets can be used vertically as well as horizontally, and because desktop screens can be huge, we have to design about 8 different layouts for each site.
A great website is one that uses keywords that people are using to search for your product or service. SEO research is critical to making a site that gets meaningful traffic. (It also helps to have a product or service that people need.)
A great website is one that is custom built, not using a "website builder." This gives us the freedom to design whatever you want, and not be constrained by the boxes they force you into.
A great website is one that is easy for the website owner to edit, so that incremental changes can be made without wading through code or having to use unfamiliar screens. WYSIWYG editing is a must. And where there is code that could break, it's important that be locked out so there are no accidental outages.
A great website is one that is secure! It uses strong passwords and 2-factor validation for login access. It uses a web application firewall and content distribution network to protect from hackers as well as speed load times for visitors. And a great website doesn't use WordPress, the most compromised platform out there.
We only produce GREAT websites, and they are NOT $5/month. Our starting price to build one is $10k for a simple informational site, and it goes up from there if you are collecting data or doing e-commerce. Hosting is additional When you're serious about a next-level website, contact us at adventmedia.us/web.
PS: Great websites know how to interpret the "quote" mark in html code.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
While the pandemic was in force, we curtailed on-site services, but now there are no restrictions. We come to you.

Aerial Videography/Photography
We have a licensed drone pilot and equipment to film 4K cinema-quality video and up to 20 megapixel stills from the air. Locations are limited by the FAA, and all sorties are weather permitting.
Note that the FAA prohibits flights over people, so drone photos of mass events are excluded, unless flown from the periphery.
