What We Do

Ever since we began working with the web in 1997 we've been dedicated to utilizing technology that is appropriate for each project. We've never sacrificed content or structure for appearance and we've seen businesses grow because of such decisions. We're known for the amount of time we spend ensuring our customers understand each aspect of the project.

While many projects are similar, they're all very unique. Differences in those projects (large or small) require changes in thinking, technology, and methodology. We pride ourselves on remaining flexible as we commonly take over projects with some level of work already completed. We have years of experience with various situations that may present obstacles or limitations, and we've never encountered a problem we couldn't overcome.

Web Design Services

A design must be appropriate, intuitive to your visitors, and attractive - exactly in that order. We learned long ago that the most flashy piece of design is useless if it complicates navigation of your content. We continue to study user interaction on the internet and we put what we've learned to use in every project.

Completed designs adhere to markup validation standards, and follows all appropriate accessibility guidelines. Our designs incorporate these methods from conception, as well as standards that greatly improve search engine optimization (SEO).

If you do not yet have a design, we'll handle the entire design process. Otherwise we'll transfer your existing design from Adobe Illustrator, Photopshop, InDesign, or Fireworks format into a valid, semantic XHTML/CSS template.

Shared & Dedicated Server Hosting

We offer shared and dedicated hosting services for Botsko.net clients. With direct access to the server your websites and/or applications are installed on, we can tailor settings to your application like no other web host can. Our servers are already configured with security in mind, so you're going to benefit from customizations not commonly offered by default.
