We Build Websites
Aw jeez, not this stuff again.
If you’ve ever been involved in building a website, you probably didn’t enjoy the process much. It can get frustrating real fast. And that’s too bad. Websites should be fun — Fun to build and fun to manage.
After all, your website is the primary channel that delivers your vision to the world. It’s vital that you enjoy and embrace the journey, so you can learn and improve.
But bringing a vision to life is difficult. It’s all too easy to get stuck in churn: ceaseless email, looming deadlines, endless meetings, and long-term projects based on faulty assumptions.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
The typical web design process has a dozen “phases” and takes months to complete. And when it’s finally over, you just want to forget about it and get back to work.
Our Rapid Web Design framework offers a path to simplify the process, test new ideas, get more done, and do it faster. Plus, you’ll have a lot more fun along the way.
Rapid Web Design
If you build a website with the notion that parts other than HTML are optional, you’ll create a better and stronger website. Based on that philosophy, our web design framework has three simple steps:
- Identify needed core functionality
- Execute functionality using the simplest available technology
- Measure and enhance
In short, we define, design, and refine. There are no wireframes to approve, no mockups to puzzle over, and no personas to invent. You’ll also get no scope creep, budget hassles, or mind-numbing training programs that you’ll never remember.
As a result of this streamlined system, your website gets launched in weeks, not months. And it gets results. Running a business is hard enough. You don’t need more homework.
Whisper Web Technology
For our latest cover story, “Why is the Internet So Noisy,” we finally got a chance to test the Ern Berck Digital website. We weren’t disappointed. At a mind-boggling 212 megabits per second, the loudest noise in the new Ern Berck site comes from the JavaScript interpreter. Due to their patent-pending Whisper Web technology, it is the quietest website we’ve ever tested — And we’ve tested thousands. Ernberck.com is our new benchmark for silent web browsing. A remarkable achievement.*
