Developers who get the big picture
We listen to your requirements, study the playing field, and profile your website's visitors to help shape the creative approach to our work. The custom website designs1 and web apps we present to you will address those issues and more.

Design & content, or strategic review?
We can work as your one-stop designer-developer, or perhaps you'd just like to ask for a thorough third-party evaluation of your current web assets. We can uncover the kind of trade-offs — both human factors and technical details — that might be hindering your site's performance now, even if they made sense during development.
Some things our clients ask us to create (or to critique):
- functional "look and feel" of web sites and custom web applications
- image creation and manipulation, photographs and artwork
- information architecture and navigation
- site language and content
- review of the effectiveness-of-use of client assets

We do website tune-ups, too
Perhaps your site is showing some age but isn't ready for a re-design yet. Short-term, we might update your current look without starting from scratch. If we also add a bit of new content or polish the navigation, to many users it will feel fresher and convey a sense of vitality about your company.
Consider one or more of these candidates for your site tune-up, or something else that is more specific to your site and its users:
- freshen existing designs and do any code maintenance
- insert new text and images, or re-work existing content
- add new pages and sections to existing websites
- implement new functions and features
- adapt marketing and sales materials for online use, and vice versa, for a consistent voice and message
RSS news feeds
When it's appropriate to your mission, External Design can integrate RSS news feeds into the custom sites we produce for you.
