Website Types we offer:

WordPress with and without Blog

WordPress Blog (web log) or Personal website: websites generally used to post online diaries which may include discussion forums. These can be created for businesses or personal use. All our blog type websites are created and formatted with WordPress which can easily be maintained by the user freeing the customer from monthly service fees from any web design personnel. There are some limitations to this type of website but can be very effective in bringing customers to your website provided content is updated frequently. Check out our prices section to see how much creating a blog might cost, it is one of the cheaper solutions and recommended for smaller businesses.  WordPress by nature is free, but we provide the entire installation, structure and design a custom theme specific to you only.  WordPress has many free themes for websites but you will soon find out you get what you paid for on those type of themes, which since they are free is not much and unless you have html knowledge you likely will not be able to do much with them.

Electronic commerce (e-commerce)

a site offering goods and services for online sale and enabling online transactions for such sales.  These websites are much more complex and require a great detail of patience and time.  Offering goods online requires work form both sides of the project, customers will have to get photos and images of their products and produce content for each product they sell.  Building this type of website can become costly with many web design companies as many have hidden fees and charge a great deal for building the entire website.  We try to work with any budget within reason.  Expect to pay less here at TJ Graphics simply because we are focused on the design and production of beautiful websites rich elegant and full of content.  estimates are always free and you might be surprised how we compare to other web design companies out there.  These type of websites can be deployed either in joomla or zencart.  zencart is usually great for beginner companies and can deployed easier than joomla, price usually wins in the decision.

Real Estate Website for REALTOR’s

REALTOR® Specific Website: Although we are not tied to a brokerage we can create real estate websites with limited IDX. Real estate agents rely on social networking to acquire business. In this day and age it is crucial for your presence to be heard on the web. At TJ Graphics we design every website with search engine strategies in mind from start to finish. By creating a personal real estate page consisting of listings and a property search you allow users to view MLS listings right from your website. Real estate websites are very relatively inexpensive but for new agents it can be hard to put up more money without even selling anything especially in this market. We understand and consider this when quoting our Realtor’s.

Joomla! CMS (Content Management System)

This type of website allows a large number of people to contribute  and share data.  You can have multiple users working on the system and it is setup to reduce repetitive duplicate input unlike a standard html website.  These type of websites can be used by customers for content but require some knowledge of web design to navigate through.  We support Joomla CMS websites which have a rich abundance of extensions which can enhance your website significantly.  These type of websites also require a great deal of time to build but once the entire structure is setup, they are easily updated.  Joomla greatly improves the ease of report writing and communication between users.  They allow news feeds, blogs, articles, and other data to be shared and created easily.  These type of websites use database structure to handle data to handle tasks like registering users, storing article data, and much more.  The price on this type of website changes depending on content but the end result leaves the user with a website that will be able to handle a great amount of information and scalability.  joomla only has some minor downsides, typically slower performance the larger the website becomes, but with added extensions can overcome this hurdle.  Joomla websites are also free to the public, but templates that are free also do not come with any enhanced features, slide shows, galleries, or template design.  This is what we provide to our customers to ensure they have a full comprehensive beautiful website that they can manage afterward themselves.

Corporate standard website

Corporate standard website: used to provide background information about a business, organization, or service. These type of websites are primarily start up businesses just trying to establish presence on the web. These websites are relatively inexpensive and can be built for 5 pages or 500 pages depending on the amount of content the business is trying to upload to the internet to make their presence known. The type of websites are built primarily in dreamweaver for easiest integration and best amount of customization. Corporate websites may have new content on a less frequent basis which makes them the primary choice and only require a small amount of updating from web designers.

Of course there are many other type of websites you can create but we are a small web design company and although our creative ideas are big are company is small.
