Consulting

Being in business today pretty much means you need a web site. If you don't use the web regularly, it's hard to understand why, or know what it is all about. That's where web geeks can help.

It takes more than web knowledge to build your site. It takes knowledge of your business and your customers. There are many different types of web sites, just as there are many different types of businesses. A gas station is a very different business than a chemical factory and this need be reflected in the type of web site they use. One size does not fit all.

At RexRuff, we know the nuts and bolts to building a site. We know you know your business and your customers. Together, we can roll out a digital welcome mat to your existing and potential customers online.

Building

When you enter a paint or tile store, all the different types of building blocks can be incredibly overwhelming. Finding the right pieces to build your web site can be just as daunting. There are many factors to consider - traffic, appearance, and durability - to name a few. All of these decisions are very similar in the physical world and the digital world. Depending of the type of needs your business has, there are web technologies best suited for you.

Hosting

Consulting

If you feel you are ready to build or rebuild your web site, there are many ways to go about it. Your site is dependent on your business, its goals, the amount of people you hope will visit, and their reasons for visiting. The main starting point is asking, "What are my goals for the site?", and "What are the goals for the people visiting the site?" It simply is not enough to build a web site as you would an advertisement. The web is interactive.

There are a myriad of ways to connect with people through a web site. The challenge is to connect with the same presence as you would within the walls of your business.

We can help you tailor a presence online to fit your customer base.

Building

Based on the needs outlined above, the bricks and mortar of your site, should also be appropriately selected. Just as you would choose the design for the interior of your building, you choose the appearance of your site. Not just color and appearance, but organization and layout.

Your home page is equated with your front door. What do you want to present first? The building parts of the web - html, css, pixels, images - are secondary to the theatre of the web - the stage on which your business comes to life digitally.

Building

We hand code compliant XHTML, use pure CSS templates, and script in PHP.

Our goal is clean, efficient code and templates to minimize server load time and drain. We are anti-flash sites for many reasons, but not opposed to including flash images where it would add to the site's functionality and presentation. If you are looking for a pure flash site, this is not the place. We will not do it.
