No two websites are alike, so to provide a hard and fast answer would be to no avail. The design process can take anywhere from a couple days to a few months, depending on the website requires. For example, the number of pages, any logos or other brand marketing material we would be designing in conjunction with the website, etc. On average, the design process takes approximately two to four weeks.

This is entirely up to you. If you have even basic computing knowledge, it is conceivable for your website to be designed as a CMS site (content management system) where you are able to update the site on your own. However, if you would prefer our own professional updating services, we can accommodate for a monthly or annual fee. We can also update on a case-by-case basis at our hourly rate.

Our focus on small business websites requires knowledge and expertise beyond the technical skills required of web developers and designers. We consider ourselves as students of the theories behind effective small business website design. We pride ourselves on custom, quality and original designs, whereas large web design companies tend to offer prefabricated template sites, a “one size fits all” approach, which we do not share.

One primary distinguishing characteristic of our specialty is the way one designer must be able to perform a multitude of functions and then unify them into a cohesive whole.

ZinZang Studio developers and designers must be able to:

• Research and create an effective brand marketing strategy
• Research and develop text content (if not provided by client)
• Create and manipulate graphics
• Design a secure site structure and fluid site navigation
• Design the visual “look and feel” and layout of the pages
• Code HTML and several other programming languages to meet the most current web standards and practices provided by the Worldwide Web Consortium
• Work closely with our clients

Under this tested system, a high-quality custom website can be produced.
We consider it our job to continue to educate ourselves as to all of the above-named aspects of web design, as well as constantly learn more about the nature of small business marketing and industry leading software. Additionally, we are a professional resource in our areas of expertise for your business, much like you would consider your accountant or attorney.

You will be working closely with our Lead Designer/Developer, Len Switalski, Jr. Len has an extensive knowledge of the graphic design field and has won two graphic design awards.

Yes. Please visit our Portfolio section of the website to see samples of our work and stop by our Client Testimonials page to hear what our client have to say about us.

Please visit our Portfolio page to get an idea of our work, and/or schedule a free consultation and we can bring samples.

As a rule, we do not provide spec work. We see ourselves as valuable business consultants, aspiring to achieve excellence, professionalism, and long-term relationships with our clients.

As design professionals, we cannot afford to spend numerous hours for free on work that should be paid for. You would not expect to get free legal work from your attorney, or free tax work from your accountant. Many hours go into the creative process and research before the completion of a design. Many times this involves back and forth between client and designer, and all those hours add up. We value our time, so the scope of the project, along with price, must be agreed upon prior to our time commitment.

Yes, from time to time, we provide pro bono services to charities or causes we support. More on pro bono work here.

As your professional marketing and design resource, much like your accountant, attorney, or other strategic partner, we provide you with valuable advice based on our expertise, and want to build lasting client relationships.
