Professional Web Design and Development Solutions in Winnipeg

No matter what your business or organization is involved in, a presence on the web is absolutely vital in today's world. When people research a company or need questions answered, the web is the first place they go. Having at least a basic site available so people can read online about your company is a powerful and essential marketing tool. It will raise awareness about your company and, in turn, promote your product or service.

Vivid Wind Web Solutions is a full featured web development company based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We offer a variety of services including everything from basic website design and construction, all the way to full e-commerce content management systems. We are committed to providing you with a website that suits your needs, not ours. With proper planning and discussion early in the development process, we make sure we understand your vision before we proceed to build it. Like many things in life, communication is key. We make sure this is always first and foremost.

Custom Site Design and Construction

At Vivid Wind, we believe the planning stage of a project is of the utmost importance. We make sure that we are completely clear on what your goals are, and how we can build a site that meets those goals. This way there are no surprises. You will know what your site will look like, what components it will have, and what you are paying, before we actually build it for you. When expectations are met and/or exceeded, everyone is happy.

Depending on the scope of your content, you may not require a fully featured web site with all the extra bells and whistles. Or perhaps an extravagant site is not currently in your budget. Often sites will start small with just the essentials and slowly build over the years with new features and sections. Whatever the case is, Vivid Wind can design your site for what you need today, yet still leave room for growth in the future if you decide on such. In other words, if you decide to expand your site in the future, you will be able to build on what has already been built, rather than starting from scratch.

Why Choose Us?

If you've never hired a web developer before, it can be difficult to know where to start or what to look for. We take pride in offering value. When we build a website from the ground up, there are aspects that we include as part of our service that other companies may charge extra for, or simply not offer at all. For example:

Standards-Compliant XHTML and CSS

Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are two of the main coding languages used in building web pages. Like any language, they are best understood when they are written and used correctly. If you were to read a book which was filled with spelling and grammatical errors, it would be more difficult for you to determine the author's meaning. The same goes for XHTML and CSS. If these languages aren't coded properly, your web browser has more difficulty determining what the code means, and often has to guess. This is often why websites will display differently in different kinds of web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.)

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) sets the standards for how code is to be written. It's amazing how many websites are on the web that do not conform to these standards. You can check whether or not a page uses valid code by using the W3C Validation Service.

All of Vivid Wind's custom code is standards-compliant. Our pages load fast, are error free, and will function properly in all browsers dating all the way back to Internet Explorer 6.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Vivid Wind includes basic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) when we build your site from scratch. Proper SEO is vital to websites today. Search engines are essentially the yellow pages of the web. Do you want to be near the front of your category's listings, near the back, or not in the book at all? If your site isn't showing up in search engines results, new visitors will simply not be able to find you. Search engines can be a huge source of traffic for your site. It is essential that you consider SEO when developing your site.
