Website Design

We consider the design aspects of the web site very seriously. We evaluate what your services and products mean to the public and the market. We work with you to your vision of what your website should look like. Important considerations also include user-friendly interfaces for visitors including the layout, menu and other vital design structures. We make sure the elements of color, placement and effects are cohesive. Within all of this, we consider the end to the means, making sure the functionality of the site is complementary, and we always design using techniques that has the site loading fast and doesn't hinder search engine results.

We understand your business and design the website accordingly and in doing so we appoint special consultant if required to make it an outstanding performance. We also design projects to include new trends in development such as Flash to make your design interact with visitors in a unique manner.

We pride ourselves with helping clients from a wide range of backgrounds and this diversity allows us the experience to create a design as original as your business.

Website Maintenance

Website is not a onetime solution rather it needs continuous updating and is major issue with a website is keeping the content up to date. Although modern content management systems (CMS) allow for individuals to update content on their own, often time, training and other restraints do not enable website owners the opportunity to make changes themselves. Also, not everyone has a CMS developed for their site and updating those websites require a knowledge of HTML and other programming skills. In worse case scenarios, the original creator of the website cannot be contacted and no one in your organization knows how to make changes.

As a service for our clients, we offer website maintenance to your existing website through various options like hourly rate, content based, annual maintenance contracts. And since we have so much experience in doing so, our updates are fast and costs are fair. Our turnaround is often same day. We double-check our work as well so you know its done correctly the first time. If we have any questions, we will contact you and work with you to get it right.

We hear a lot of horror stories about other developers and designers who don't finish the job or drop off the radar without a word. We can pick up existing projects in limbo and make additions without pressuring you to start from scratch. We can audit every aspect of your project to make sure nothing has been left out. We can get the job done and start getting results from your website.

We can also take over the hosting from your current hosting provider and keep the content on your existing website. We also consult in getting your domain name back if its been hijacked by someone not in your business or organization.

Ani International has been in business for nearly a decade. We are here to stay and will make available any passwords, code and content you request without issue. We understand you have a business to run and need work done by a dependable and trustworthy source. You can consider our many clients over the years as testament to our integrity.

FLASH Development

Adobe Flash is a media component to a website that allows for some rather dynamic experiences pictures and scripting can't create. We have had experience developing Flash files (SWF) since the first browser plug ins were released. It is a powerful format and we are always amazed the new things Flash allows for us as developers to achieve. As the technology of Flash improves and changes, we will continue to utilize Flash's incredible possibilities of interaction and presentation to create new and exciting projects.

Generally, everyone is familiar with its animation capabilities, however Flash is much more than that. Flash can act a as stand-alone media player for video and audio files or a slideshow for images. It can load external information from XML and other database formats for dynamic content delivery. It allows for object handling that regular server-side scripting could never attempt. It can be used to create and play video games or make an entire animated short. It can be used to generate complex renderings of vector line drawings based off mathematic formulas. All of this is backed up by its powerful scripting language, Action Script.

Most people feel using Flash on a home page can make a dramatic statement with its presentation. Animation, audio and other movement can set the tone for the user or make them wanting more. However, we feel creating an entire website as an encapsulated Flash movie file misses out on a lot of the search engine optimization. Sometimes a mov ie may take to long to load and visitors become impatient and leave. Plus, until recently, Flash plug ins weren't universally available for all operating systems and browsers. We feel a combination of Flash elements mixed with clever design can actuate a complete experience without compromising the positive aspects of using HTML on a website.

domain name service

Domain names are the first important step in getting your website off to a good start. Here are a couple of strategies to choosing a domain name:

Domain Name Tips

Choose a domain name based on your desired business name or services offered:

Its sounds simple, but there's a good chance your first choice may already be taken. If your business's name is rather common, or it uses initials, you may have to consider a second choice. Search engines pick up on the domain name itself when it comes to ranking keywords so perhaps you should choose a name relating to your product or desired keyword result.

Choose something you can tell someone over the telephone:

Most of our clients use their web site as a brochure or a portfolio. It is important to be able to tell someone over the phone or in conversation the name of of your website with having to always write it down. Make it memorable, sometimes that's more handy than any bookmark. Its also important not to have words run together giving unintentional results. Do a Google search for "bad domain names" for some rather hilarious examples.

Consider the branding:

Make your domain name unique. Even though your desired name may already be taken, consider some of the largest and most popular websites in the world have rather strange domain names that have very little to do with their business IE. google.com, ebay.com, amazon.com. If they didn't consider a little creative marketing, perhaps thses sites would be known as greatsearchengine.com, auctions.com and buybooksandeverythingelseyoucanpossiblythinkof.com, and perhaps would not have the household name recognition they have today.

You can have more than one domain name:

Choosing one domain name is important but you can always have more than one. You can these all point to the same web sites or have them for different purposes like email or special sites. We can also have domain names point to certain pages in your main website.
Many websites have different domain extensions (.com, .net, .biz) and perhaps it might be a good idea to secure those in case you may want them in the future. Also, common misspellings or plural connotations get misinterpreted. Consider alternates for marketing, securing your brand name, and even in order to give shorter names for easy remembering for new visitors. For instance, websitedevelopmentco.com is some what long, so we simply tell people to go to webco.info.

Domain Name Registration and Administration

We offer domain name registration services. Many clients would have us be the administrator of their domains for privacy and security. We have seen all type of scams and we never allow unauthorized transfers. It is our policy, if we are your domain administrator, to automatically renew your domain for one year if we are unable to get in touch with you about your renewal options. We always comply with any requests to change registrars or take off our contact information from your WHOIS record.

Web Application

Interaction with your visitors is vital in getting a return in your investment. Whether you need the ability to post articles, images, news with help of content management system(CMS) or sell your products online with a comprehensive e-commerce site, we have the experience. We believe in saving costs to our customers by taking existing open source solutions and customizing them to your specific needs. Open source allows flexibility in having a global community of programmers your system which means less development time and costs and getting you a functional, dynamic website fast. However, since no website has the same exact needs, each project comes out completely unique.

The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers on the Internet can read, redistribute, and modify the source for a piece of software, it evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs and get support - for free and without patents or royalties. And since most of the work is done, this saves you in development costs. We simply contribute the expertise to implement your needs and ideas.

The open source technologies we use in running our web sites are under the LAMP definition. LAMP is an acronym for a set of open source software programs commonly used together to run dynamic Web sites:

Linux, the operating system;
Apache, the Web server;
MySQL, the database management system (or database server);
Perl or PHP, scripting languages.

Though these programs were not designed specifically to work with each other, the combination is popular because of its low costs and ease of support. When used in combination they represent a powerful application to develop and deploy web applications.

However open source is not always the perfect solution hence we also have experience using other solution stacks including Java/J2EE, ColdFusion and Microsoft's .NET architecture.
