Our Philosophy

learly Mosaic provides you with custom solutions to meet all aspects of your business needs. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of customer care while we build you a website you can be proud of. We will help you make the jump to the web with a professional yet accessible website.

We know that the world of technology is moving fast. Contrary to popular belief, a cobbled together web presence is almost worse than no web-presence at all. Your website reflects the quality of your work.

We happily offer all of our services independently. Are you a designer who needs to get a website operational? No problem, you provide the designs, and we'll help you get them up and running on the web. Need business cards or photography that has nothing to do with the web? No problem. Browse through our services to the left and contact us with any questions.

Development Philosophy

We develop using accepted web-standards, making our sites easier to maintain and longer-lived. Many small-business and personal web-designers use automated tools that generate sloppy code behind the scenes and limit the designer's options in both form and function. At ClearlyMosaic, we build from the ground up, "by hand", so we can implement your specific needs in a modern, flexible fashion. Our sites will work in the next generation of browsers, and other developers will be able to understand and modify our code.

Hosting

Websites need reliable, constant, fast access to the internet. We'll take care of it all, making sure your site is hosted appropriately and reliably.

All our maintenance plans include hosting!

We make your web-presence easy for you by taking care of the complete package. No additional accounts to keep track of, or relationships to maintain. One low monthly bill takes care of it all, including your site's server space and internet access.

Choose the maintenance package that suits yours needs and budget, from basic text and image updates, to more comprehensive management and additions.

Package Options

Basic - as low as $30/month - includes text, link, and image updates, e-mail address changes and additions, site usage reports.
Medium - new page creation, certain database management tasks (if applicable), item/product additions.
High - for eCommerce and database oriented sites.
Major Changes and Additions: We'll negotiate either a preset price or work by the hour.

Email

Are you still using a Yahoo, Hotmail, or local-ISP provided e-mail address? We will set you up with with as many name@yourbusiness.com addresses as you require.

sales@yoursite.com
orders@yoursite.com
info@yoursite.com
tech@yoursite.com
Or any other address(s) you desire!

Site Usage and Statistics

We'll set you up with a detailed site-statistics package so you can track your website's traffic in detail:

Number of hits and visits by day, time of day, and month
Most popular pages on your site
Where people typically enter and exit your site
Greatest data-traffic portions of your site
Where are people coming from (country breakdown, etc)

Search Engine Positioning

Consumers rely on a handful of major search engines to find websites. These engines discover websites by a few means, including crawling and direct submission.

Search Engines use automated tools to "crawl" the web; constantly visiting page after page, updating existing information and indexing new information. It is crucial to your website's visibility for pages to be properly set up and coded to allow the search engines' tools to easily index your site. We'll make sure all your pages include the necessary data to make these tools work more effectively.

Many, but not all, search engines allow site-operators to directly tell them about websites that they should index (include in their search databases). We'll submit your site to all the major search engines that support this feature, including Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

Logos and Banners

Logos

A custom logo is one of the best ways to advertise yourself. Our graphic designers will work with you to create a logo that works for your business. We will provide you with three proofs for your approval. Once you choose a logo, we'll provide you with high resolution copies so you can use your logo in any and all of your business material. These are just some examples of our work!

Healthy Deacon

This logo was designed for food packaging. The grain image conveys, at a glance, the healthfulness of the product.

Ancient Xcess

Designed for a chainmaille artist, this bold logo is easily recognizable, and includes actual hand-made chainmaille.

WSOP Qualify

This logo had to bring to mind both poker, and being online. The poker chip, combined with a mouse cursor gets the point across.

PITA Sheets

Designed for a system of medical templates, this logo needed to be professional, but eye-catching.

Meal Bundle

All-In-One items are easily recognizable now that they're branded with this simple logo.

Homeroom Memories

Evoking memories of school days is the goal of this logo for a classmate locator website.

Banners

Banners are a good way to advertise yourself on the internet. They are small images that contain your business name and link to your homepage. You can send them to businesses and websites with which you are associated. This helps direct traffic to your site. If we make custom banners for you, we will help contact other websites that are related to your business. Sites will often post your banner in exchange for your site containing their banner.

Business Cards

A great way to advertise a new site is through business card distribution. You can choose from one of our templates below. We are also happy to make custom business cards to your specifications.
