Welcome

Summit Web is a small, agile web design agency with loads of experience. Since 1996 we have specialized in building web sites that focus on practicality. This means web sites where the designs are simple to use, easy to navigate, and that help the visitor to find information quickly. We work hard to create a web design that is elegant, timeless, persuasive, as well as "search engine friendly".

Real Estate Web Sites

While we design web sites for all types of clients, we specialize in building custom real estate web sites for both agents and brokerage firms. Over the years, we have developed a real estate web site system that works, while ensuring each site offers a custom look that displays a unique personality and gathers in leads! Simple, compelling, yet providing the content real estate visitors really want.

Our Design Philosophy

Everybody on the Web is in the business of sales. It doesn't matter whether you're managing an intranet, a government or university website, or promoting your business or organization. You're still selling something; still trying to get someone to do something. What do you want your visitors to do? How are you going to convince them to do it? And making the Web work is hard because you are selling to someone who is very impatient. They will give you less than a minute to make a compelling case. In this day of information overload, being compelling requires a lot of skill. That's where we can help.

Web design must support your message, not overwhelm it. Therefore, web design must be done with moderation while using web standards. Visual "toys" such as animation and sound must be used only when the site content warrants it, not simply as useless decoration.

High-speed connections such as DSL are not utilized yet by every American, nor by most of the world. To have your web site be viewed by the widest possible audience, the design must factor in the speed limitations of dial-up connections. Furthermore, the Web is currently an information resource for most users, not an entertainment medium. Therefore, web design must make information easily accesible. That is its core responsibilty. Simplicity, ease of use, as well as clear navigation are powerful web design tools that enhance the visitor experience, and your bottom line as the site owner. We strive to meet those goals.

We invite you to:

• Look through our portfolio of sites that we've designed for our clients;
• Request a web site evaluation to help your web site do all that it can do;
• Read a pricing discussion to understand the costs in designing a custom site;
• Take a look at our hosting fee schedule for serving web sites and databases;
• Learn about our staff who are capable of making your design ideas come to life;
• Be sure to contact us for more information or questions about our services.

Please call or contact us when you need a web site. We can help you make the Internet a hard-working part of your business toolkit.
