Websites Design and Development
With the use of brilliant concepts, functionality, and the proper use of web design elements, we build affordable, eye-catching, and easy to setup and maintain websites for small to large sized organizations.

Our Web development team understands more than Java, Flash, ASP and PHP. They know that the electronic interface between you and your customers is an important sales and marketing tool. Not just a first-impression maker, if it's used correctly, but a prospect qualifier. The look of your site and the way it performs for your market are key, of course. But how does it perform for you? Is it leading your visitors down the right path from suspect to prospect? Is it intuitive? Easy to read and to navigate? Does it dispense with the bells and whistles, and clearly communicate the value of your brand to the marketplace? Is it flexible enough for you to update on your own when it's time to post a new press release or job opening? These are some of the acid-test questions our team applies to every web site they build.

Web development: Third EYE Media develops sites using the newest technologies and programming languages including ASP.net, ASP, Cold Fusion, PHP, Perl, Flash, Java, JavaScript, XML, AJAX, CSS, DHTML, and basic HTML. Client budget, application specifications, and understanding the pros and cons of each technology dictate which solution is best for a particular project. Third EYE Media is always in the fore front when it comes to implementing new technologies and researching new development techniques. As the Internet grows and browsers become more advanced, it’s important to work with a company that has the flexibility and experience to stay ahead of the game.

Content Management Tools: Is there anything more frustrating than needing to update your Web site, right now, but having to wait for your IT person to get through the other 23 things on their list? Or having to wait for your Web company to call you back to schedule the change? These are bottlenecks (and headaches) you can do without.

While Third EYE Media offers fantastic "update" services on an ongoing basis, we also offer powerful content management tools to allow you and your staff to update the Web site in real-time.

Search Engine Marketing: "If you build it, they will come" may work for baseball fields in Iowa, but the same certainly doesn't hold true for websites.

Our websites are search engine friendly, we offer search engine optimization and Pay Per Click advertising.

Innovations: Third EYE Media is in the forefront when it comes to Innovations.  We are continually seeking out advances in technology that can work to benefit our customers.  Below find examples of how innovations have contributed to the success of some of these customers.     

Split Screen Technology: Part of creating a successful Web site involves aligning your site with current Internet practices and meeting the expectations of your visitors.  We have combined a 1024x768 design with advanced technology), in an effort to streamline online shopping.  The efforts resulted in Split Screen Technology, which allows the interface to present two pages within one.  Online shoppers now have a simple and convenient way to browse through products and view the individual product pages, all within one screen.  This reduces the number of clicks and streamlines navigation paths—especially those that point to the shopping cart.

AJAX Technology: To streamline your visitors’ online processes and navigation paths, AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and DHTML (Dynamic HTML) may be effective technologies to implement on your Web site.  These technologies can be manifested differently (ie: the Quick View Tool found at Bengals.com versus the Dropdown Shopping Cart found at StuartWeitzman.com), according to the specific needs of each client, but essentially always serve the purpose of reducing the number of steps involved in navigation.  Specifically, when implemented on an ecommerce website AJAX allows visitors to view images associated with product variables without needing to refresh the page after each criteria is selected.  This increases the site’s interactivity, speed, and usability, while creating a much more enjoyable shopping experience.

Podcasting & Branded Multi-Media Station: Online multimedia can give your organization increased opportunity to reach out to your visitors in an effective way.  By offering video and audio technology, you can establish a more engaging online environment, accurately reveal your marketing message and brand, and give your visitors reason to visit your site more frequently. 

Online video and audio can be presented either live or on-demand through a media player.  What’s more, Third EYE Media can create a customized multimedia station, designed to perpetuate your brand, as well as offer easy search functionality and increased marketing opportunities.  With a multimedia station tailored to your needs, your visitors can search through lists of current or archived clips, view most recent or most popular clips, and more.  This gives your visitors quick and easy access to all your video and audio content within one media player.  Additionally, to help increase revenue, a multimedia station can be developed to accommodate banner ads, pre-roll commercials, and sponsored features such as online polls or contests.    Today, it is also becoming increasingly important to incorporate Podcasts into your Web site. By incorporating a Podcast, visitors can load this media into their iPod and play the audio and video content at their convenience.          

Transit Management System: An online portal can create an environment, in which registered users can access privileged information and resources and can manage their accounts.  Online portals can take shape in many forms—from online banking to spiritual community sites. 

Flash Project Estimator: In the past, Flash technology has largely been used to animate Web sites, in an effort to build more engaging and exciting online environments.  Today, Flash is used in a much broader scope, as it is one of the most versatile and capable platforms to deliver content on the Web.  Many companies are using Flash technology to create interactive pieces, product demonstrations, and even complex applications. 

Dynamic Flash: While we do not recommend building a Web site entirely in Flash, as it is more difficult to expand later and has limitations in search engine visibility, there are definite advantages in implementing Flash components into your Web site.  For example, your organization may benefit from using Flash technology to deliver dynamic content, as we have done for Xcel Energy Center’s event calendar.  Dynamic Flash incorporates a sense of energy and interactivity into the content presented on your Web site, which allows users to become excited about your product, service, and organization.  If used correctly, dynamic Flash can be an extremely effective tool to capture the attention of your users, encouraging longer and more frequent visits to your site.
