We pride ourselves not only on our technological skills, but also on our commitment to customer service. Through our loyalty, hard work, and great results, we will strive to earn your continuing business. We have three main categories of service, please take your time and see which one best suits you.

For The Web

Web Design: In the real world, many companies and businesses use different operating systems as well as a variety of browsers. Our design team realizes this and designs for continuity between them all. Utilizing current Web Standards and a variety of programming languages, we are able to design sites that meet your every specific need and are aesthetically pleasing to all viewers in your target audience.

Website Promotion: Many people mistakenly believe that simply launching their site onto the Internet means that it will automatically appear on the various search engines and be found by millions of viewers. Such is not the case!

Without proper web site promotion, people will not be able to find your site by using search engines. That means unless you've told them your URL, they will not be able to access your site. We assist our clients in marketing their sites and keeping them current on search engines' listings. We manually register sites, update meta-tags as required, and can also create an offline strategy to advertise your site. If you make an investment in having a web site developed, it is important to ensure that your target audience is directed to it. We'll see to it that they are.

Graphic Design: Our skilled designers stay current with the latest Web trends, and can design a site that suits your tastes and captures the essence of your organization.

We can design fresh graphics or utilize your existing branding material to create new web site mock-ups for your approval. We will then use the approved designs and create a sophisticated Web site to capture the attention of your target audience.

Film And Video

Film: We handle every request for a video as if it were a full length piece of cinema. We strive to get the best angles, lighting, and mood in each shot we take. Knowing all this beforehand, given our portfolio work, and satified customers, you can rest assured that the finished product will be nothing short of perfection. Our videographers have a wide range of experience using a variety of camcorders, lenses, filters, and lighting equipment. Our editors have years of experience cutting video and color correcting for a true-to-life look and feel. Finally, our DVD authors will have your video looking as crisp as a motion picture with Hollywood-style motion menus.

Video Encoding: Whether you need video streaming on the web or distributed on CDs and DVDs, we have it covered. Using high-end encoding software, we're able to create the highest quality videos without giant file sizes. This means web users will receive your content more quickly and clearly. On CD/DVD, viewers will see a crisp picture in any number of standard video resolutions with Dolby-Certified audio powering the soundtrack or dialogue.

DVD Authoring: For individuals, we can create stunning full-motion DVD menus using the latest software and video rendering programs. We have a collection of professional templates already assembled that you can choose from, or you can give us your vision and we can help you realize it.

For organizations and companies, we can create, modify or improve your corporate presentations and interactive DVD-ROMs to boost your company's image. Multimedia demos are useful for sales presentations; for introducing new products and services; as a method of giving visual instructions on the use of a product, or; for general advertising purposes.

Analog-To-Digital Conversion: Using the latest technologies and equipment, we are able to bring a new life to your captured home videos. Not only can we convert the original video to a digital format, but in most cases we can improve picture quality and color accuracy. Once the video has been converted, you are given a number of options.

You can have the footage pressed to DVD so you can once again catalogue your memories and important events. Another option is to have the video compressed into one or several popular web formats so you can email it to family and friends for viewing on multiple computers. Finally, you can have the video archived on a miniDV tape. This option is especially useful if you intend to do editing on your own at some point in the future.
