earrings from Flamingo Jewelry There is no doubt that the economy is still in recovery mode. Nevertheless, new businesses keep opening and current businesses are looking for ways to rebuild and attract new customers. The web remains one of the best values for reaching a huge audience at a very reasonable cost. Few advertising options can compete with a well-crafted web site. And so it is no surprise that we have 5 projects in development at this time — both new sites and redesigns of older ones. Keeping your site fresh and new and up to date is essential to both grabbing new customers and keeping your Google ranking high.

Consider applying a fresh new face to your site for the new year!

Pictured are products from our latest redesign for Flamingo Jewelry in San Clemente.

property sales in a Baja California resort community

A recent project is a brochure site for Vista Del Mar, development and sales of a resort community in San Felipe on the eastern shore of Baja California.

twitter the world to your site

use twitter to attract visitors to your Orange County web site

Twitter keeps growing and proving to be an effective vehicle for businesses as well as indiviudals. It's free, easy to use, and can be lots of fun. And it can be a great way for business owners to communicate with current customers, network with industry peers, and broadcast a message to a wide world of interested, motivated potential customers.

Recent studies have shown that social media can improve sales by as much as 18%.

Simple Lives can help you get started with the new and hugely important world of social networking such as blogging, Twitter, Facebook, mySpace, Flickr, last.fm, and more — any of which could be highly effective components of your marketing strategy.

redesign from a headquarters template

Just about when the Center for Spiritual Living needed a facelift, word came down from international headquarters that affiliate web sites were to be redesigned from one of a handful of templates.

Center for Spiritual Living, Capisrano Valley

Simple Lives was given, in this case, a full size PDF representation of the home page from which we coded a pixel-perfect HTML version of the design for the Capistrano Valley, Orange County center. This is a common practice in web design. If you already work with a graphic artist who is familiar with the look that defines your company, Simple Lives can code the site from your artist's concept. Not only does this ensure continuity in the branding of your image but may even keep your costs down in many cases.

don't look at this site

Well, look at the home page and a few others if you want but the owner of this Irvine, Orange County business is guarding her product images in a highly competitive industry with a password-protected site.

Menesstral corporate and incentive travel gifts

Menesstral is the seventh site for this corporate incentive travel gift company, five of which require passwords only supplied to serious customers to visit the heart and soul of the sites. The goal is to protect product images from being copied and used fraudulently. And while no image protection system is foolproof, simple security works for the bulk of visitors. The site is also hidden from Google. Sometimes, this is necessary.

about the icons at the bottom of this page

Simple Lives strives to make web sites that are valid and accessible. Valid sites are coded according to strict, universal standards which help to ensure that each page will display as intended in all modern browsers on all platforms. Code validation means that your site has a greater likelihood of working as intended no matter what computer or browser is being used, today and tomorrow. Accessible web sites are designed to be usable by the greatest number of people including those who may be visually or otherwise disabled. Accessibility validation helps ensure that no one is prevented from using your site because of physical limitations. Not only does this increase the number of people who can access your site but it is also the law if your business or your suppliers are government contractors.
