Complete & Flexible Design:
Our designs are intended to not only be creative and eye-catching but to
be easily updated and maintained as well. We do this by logically
dividing our design into individual elements like the header, body and

Custom & Stock Digital
Photography:
Bringing a website to life often requires the addition of
some photographic imagery. Photographs can be in the form of product
images, illustrative photographs, portraiture and others. Images can be a
very powerful tool, summing up an entire body of written content in just
one image. They draw the reader in and can offer a break in an endless sea
of text. Most images can be obtained through stock photography at a
fraction of the cost of custom photography services. We work with a few
very select providers of quality stock photographs. Some images can
not be achieved through stock photography, though.
For those occasions where you need images of your products, executive
portraits, corporate building photographs, etc., we offer Professional
Digital Photography services.
To find out more about our digital photography services please click here.
Royalty-free Stock Video & Flash Animations:
In addition to photographs, some website owners will also be
looking for more active imagery. That is where stock footage and
animations can fit the bill. Stock footage and animations can fill in or
provide the complete visual content for web-based promotional and
instructional pieces. The stock footage can easily be broken down and
rearranged to tell the story of your business or products. It can be mixed
with custom footage, audio and/or animations to provide a seamless
polished piece. To find out more about what types of stock footage and
animations are available please visit the animations section.
Dynamic Web Page Design & Development:
On today's web it's not just enough to have some content available
for your visitors to read. Visitors expect to be able to interact with a
website, to ask questions and get answers. We can help you bring your
website "to life" with some of the latest and greatest web server
technologies available today including ASP and ASP. NET. Using these
technologies allows you to interact with databases, dynamically create
pages based on user input, process forms, generate automated e-mail
responses, allow users to logon and view sensitive information on secure
pages, schedule appointments and many more options too numerous to list
here. These technologies not only make it easier for user's to find and
retrieve information, it also makes it easier for website owners to take
care of the day to day administration of their websites and respond more
quickly to inquiries. If you have ever considered adding some impact and
interactivity to your website, please e-mail us at sales@beachvibrations.com.
Be sure to tell us about your products and/or services. We'll take your
ideas and provide you with a few of our own to help you make your website
more feature rich. Our rates for our dynamic development services vary by
technology. To view rates and features of Microsoft's newest web server
technology, ASP. NET please click here. To view rates and features of
Classic ASP, Microsoft's slightly older server technology, please click
here. Quick & Easy Web-based Site Administration:
Creating a website is usually just the beginning. Once a
site is complete there is the ongoing task of updating and adding content.
In order to make it easier on our clients we will usually add web-based
administration pages to all of the websites we develop. The administration
pages are designed to make it easy for website owners to keep up with the
day to day administration of their websites including adding, modifying
and deleting content. This is an ideal feature for websites that like to
keep their sites looking "fresh" with frequent changes in
content. By making the administrative area web-based and easy to use,
website owners have quick 24/7 access to their websites. In addition,
website owners can feel safe in knowing that their administrative areas
are password protected and encrypted to keep out prying eyes. Over the
long run, this approach is a very cost saving solution allowing website
owners to take care of the majority of their own website maintenance and
avoid the expense of "hiring out" for common maintenance tasks.
This feature is only available to website owners that are seeking dynamic
website development in ASP or ASP. NET. To learn more about ASP and ASP. NET
technologies and how the technologies can benefit your website click here
for ASP or click here for ASP. NET information. You will also be able to
find rate information as well.
Website Database Integration:
On today's dynamic web, the integration of databases to display data
is a must. Almost every business on the internet today has a reason to
integrate a single or multiple databases into their websites. Retailers
integrate databases to provide information on products and sell online.
Service businesses use databases to provide database driven scheduling,
secure account information access, or payment features. If you are looking
to provide your clients with 24/7 access to information by integrating a
new or existing database into your website, we can help you plan, develop
and execute a solution that will meet your goals. To efficiently integrate
your databases with your website we use ASP and ASP. NET technologies. For
pricing and additional information please click here for ASP or click here
for ASP. NET information. You will also be able to find rate information
as well.
E-Commerce Solutions:
E-commerce has become a way of life in today's society. It is a
convenient and cost-effective approach to selling both merchandise and
services. In order to provide our clients with one of the best e-commerce
solutions available on the web today, we have teamed up with LaGarde, the
makers of StoreFront 6. StoreFront 6 is a complete e-commerce solution
that makes it very affordable to upgrade or open a new website that is
capable of selling goods and services online. To find out more about
StoreFront 6 and how it can meet your e-commerce needs, click here. You
will also find information on rates and sample websites using StoreFront
6.
Search Engine Registration:
Building a fantastic looking and easy to use website is the core of
any web project, however, all of that effort can be wasted if no one can
find your fantastic new website. Most surveys agree that over 70% of all
web surfers regularly use search engines to find what they are looking
for. That fact alone makes it imperative that your website be registered
with all of the major search engines on the web today.
We offer a per page registration package that submits any web page on your
site to all of the major search engines, accounting for over 90% of all of
the search engine traffic. This service is offered on a per page
registration to allow website owners the flexibility to submit as many
pages as they like though most owners choose to only submit their home
page. For our clients that are doing a complete web project we offer this
service for only $100 per page registered. We also will optimize any page
you choose to submit in order to improve your search engine rankings as
much as possible.
Rate: $100 per page submission (for clients doing complete web
design/redesign projects only)
Search Engine Advertising:
For our clients that wish to improve their rankings, we will assist
in setting up accounts with search engine advertising services like
Overture™ and Google™. These services offer varying and flexible
methods of getting the word out for your business and products. This is a
free service for new and existing clients that have done or are planning a
complete web project.
Rate: Free (assistance in account set-up only)
Custom Banner Ads & Animations: Another effective method of
advertising your website is to buy or exchange banner ad space with other
related websites. To this end, we offer banner, button and custom sized
advertisement design services. These ads can either be static or animated
designs that incorporate images, logos, etc.
Rate: $35/hour
Affiliate Advertising:
A good way to earn some additional income for your website is to
employ some forms of affiliate advertising. This type of advertising can
take the form of ad space that is directly purchased, affiliate programs
with individual websites or affiliate program accounts with brokers such
as Commission Junction or Performics.
This is a free service for new and existing clients that have done or are
planning a complete web project.
Rate: Free (assistance in account set-up only)
