Website Buildout

The buildout is our most common service. This is where we take a Photoshop file that you have designed, and we build that code that makes that design work properly online.

The process is that we take the images that we need, the layout, colors, fonts, and anything else in the design and we create the website structure, HTML, CSS, jQuery and program the site to make it run online.

There is a lot of strategic work that is required to make all of this happen. We always take into consideration browser compatibility, search engine optimization, and many different web-standards practices. By the time we're done you'll have your Photoshop design running as a website and ready for the world to see.

Existing Website Updates

Unfortunately website developers have the tendency to go M.I.A. That's something I learned while working at Dogbark.com (website hosting) for many years. We'd always get the call, "well I had a website guy, but he won't return my emails."

At Silverbox we've made a vow to never "be that guy", but even further, we've decided that sometimes a site doesn't need a rebuild, it just needs an update or two. We're happy to provide site updates to at a very fair hourly rate. More often than not we can make improvement recommendations but we're here to help even it's only for an hour or two.

Please contact us for information and rates.

Full Design and Production

Though Silverbox Development is a web programming company, we do work with some of the industries top web designers. We have designers that can work within all different budgets, and have various degrees of specialities and experience.

Custom Blog Themes

Does your business have a blog? Well if it doesn't, there is a good chance that you should. Blogs dramatically increase your search engine optimization, and they also allow you to keep your clients interested in your products or services.

We can add a blog to an existing website by connecting your current websites look and feel into your blog, so it all looks like it fits perfectly together. Or if you are starting a standalone or a new blog, and you already have a design, we can build that as well.

Content Management Systems (CMS)

A CMS system allows the user (you) to be able to manage and author your own content on your website. This works out especially well for companies that make very frequent updates to their websites. We can build CMS systems in many different systems but most commonly would use something like Wordpress or Drupal depending on your needs.

Custom Sites and Systems

So you want something that nobody else has? Well that means you must be an "ideas" person, and we're here to help with that as well. Maybe you want a Photo Archive system, or you want a custom contact form, you're doing an online contest, or you have some other really cool idea. We can definitely help with these kinds of projects as well.

E-Commerce

E-Commerce solutions give you the ability to sell products online. This is now becoming more and more of a common need for many businesses. We've done systems as simple as using only Paypal tying into a static website, to running systems like X-Cart, FoxyCart, or LiteCommerce where the whole site is a shopping cart system. We've even gone all the way to creating custom websites that have product administration, order tracking, and even more.

The Silverbox Gallery

Silverbox has been developing systems for photographers and illustrators for many years now. We have our Lite option and our Fully Datab2ase driven option. These are great for people looking to display their work in a clean modern way online.

These systems run off of jQuery and AJAX which allow them to load super fast, display on iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices, but it maintains the image transitions and slick look that many of the Flash sites provide. Plus all of your photos are changeable by you anytime you need to change them.
