Website Design Elements      § ¥ « >< ± µ  ¶ € – Ô
Developing and building a quality web site is a process that requires technical skill and artistic design. ALTERRA combines these 2 assets into one complimentary approach.

So what do we consider the most important aspects of Web Site Development?
Let's take a quick look:

Ease of Navigation - Proper layout not only helps to improve the look and feel of your website, but it also helps the viewer to navigate through your web pages more easily. Logical structured menu systems are essential to making your web site user-friendly.

Aesthetics - Colors, white space, type fonts, background elements, and graphic design and logos, are the "artistic" elements of a website. Just like a print ad campaign, the proper use of these elements creates websites that are pleasing to the eye and have a professional look and feel.

Writing the Copy - This very important part of website design is often overlooked by many website design companies. With our years of experience writing and producing for commercial television, ALTERRA can give your site the professional writing that most effectively communicates your message to your target audience.

Graphics and Logos - Unlike print mediums, the Web brings several limitations to the graphic design artist. A top quality logo that looks great in print, will not always look the same on the web.


ALTERRA designs graphics to look great yet minimize on load time. A clean, original logo and creative graphic elements will compliment the professional look of your website.

Search Engine Optimization - Last, but definitely not least is making sure your desired audience will find your website amid the noise and clutter of Search Engine results.

Search Engine Optimization (or SEO) is a must for almost every web site. You may notice in this copy, that we use both the term "website" and the phrase "web site". That's because, when it comes to being found in Search Engine results, the visible text copy of your website is almost as important is the keywords embedded in the hidden code. So...for example, if someone was to search for a great web development company, in say Nanaimo, they may type "web site design Nanaimo" into the Google search box - or - they may put the words together as in "website design Nanaimo". It's important to cover all the angles when you design and write the copy for a web...site.
