Design is not about cool and fancy, it is about being clean, having a professional feel and user-friendliness. There are many designers who work hard to make a site so unique and “cool” that they hope to win awards for their work. But Pine Media is not about winning awards for us. We want you to win the award of having an effective site that accomplishes the purpose you wanted the site in the first place: to sell products, or to present ideas, or to make connections. If the site doesn’t do what it was set up to do, design awards will not change that.

Pine Media is co-owned by someone with over 20 plus years in design. Not a graphic artist, but rather someone who built newsletters and fliers and magazines that were designed to communicate. Those skills moved to the web in 1997 and are still used with the same purpose in mind: to communicate!

Design includes the graphics used, the layout, and the colors and fonts used throughout a site. With many years of experience in how to blend the right images with the right colors and typography, Pine Media believes that we offer sites that the client can be proud to call their own.

Web development is the programming side of a web site. From the basic html code that instructs a basic page to the more extensive codes that drive connections between a site and database the program is the nuts and bolts that make a site function efficiently and effectively.

Although there are many tools today that allow people to do sites without coding experience, it is essential to have the ability to read and edit code (even if one doesn’t actuyally write it) in order to bring out the best in a site and to fix what isn’t working properly (or to adapt a prewritten code to a particular clients needs).

Development also includes the ability to add elements to a site like forms, video, widgets, etc that enhance the interactivity between the site and the viewer.

When hiring a web builder – it is important to know how much experience they have with the many aspects of web development. Pine-Media staff have developed websites since 1997 and utilize the services of people who specialize in particular programming languages, so that a site is always “covered” with professional hands.

Our business philosophy may best be summed up like this:

Where big city know-how meets small town service.

We’ll never promise you the moon or guarantee that your website or social media campaign will make you rich – quick. We will, however, work hard to get to know you and understand your needs. We’ll ask questions as we go along and modify your package if/when needed. You’ll be invited to offer feedback and yes – we’ll listen to it.

We understand that every small business we work with has limited marketing funds. We consider it an honor to assist our clients, knowing they are counting on us. Whether you choose a website package, social media package or a design/printing package, you have our word: one-on-one relationships matter more to us than money.

We hope to be working with you for years to come.
