If you were expecting magic or fairy dust, we don’t blame you, but we’re sorry to disappoint.    We’re old friends with the Adobe Creative Suite, which includes Photoshop and Illustrator, our two main tools.

For development of HTML and CSS, once in a while, one of us will bust out an old basic text editor like Homesite, but most of the time we write our markup with plain ol’ Notepad.  Neither of us uses Dreamweaver, Frontpage or anything like that.  In fact, we avoid them at all costs.  It just bloats the code like bad PMS.  We like to keep it simple.

To manage the content on our websites, we use a variety of blog platforms, content management and services, but our favorites are Wordpress and Expression Engine.

For hosting, we like HostMonster and Hosting Matters, but there are others listed in the FAQ sidebar that you might prefer.

That’s about it!

This depends on the project. Each website is unique and may require more or less time to build. Factors such as how quickly you communicate with your designer about design decisions and how well you express your wishes can influence the final timeline. Building a site is an exact process, so once your design is finalized, the site still needs to be coded, implemented and tested. This process can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months depending on the size of the site and the availability of your designer.

Believe us, when we’re finished, you’ll be the first to know.   We can’t wait to unveil your new design! You’re in very capable hands.  Now please sit back and quit antagonizing your brother.  Don’t make us pull this website over!
