About Magnetude Media
Magnetude Media is a little web design company with a big sounding name and the moniker for James Neufeld. We're based in Vancouver, BC and have been designing and developing intuitive and clean standards-based web sites optimized for search engines since 1997. We primarily assist small and medium sized businesses in British Columbia and Washington State in developing and achieving their online goals related to:
- web design, communication design, usability, and information architecture;
- content management, site planning, site maintenance, and web consulting;
- internet marketing (including organic SEO, Google AdWords campaign setup and management, email marketing, and related);
We hope you consider us for your next web site design or any web site management, marketing, or maintenance services you require. We're very personable. Call us at 604-720-3040 to see what we can do for you.
Ongoing Web Site Management & Maintenance
Over the years, we have realized that many web-based businesses rely heavily on daily site content, maintenance, and management. A handful of small companies needing daily and weekly website management have become a mainstay for us while we also take on new site redesigns from time to time. What may be tedious, frustrating or time-consuming grunt work is a pleasure for us to organize, layout and publish. We're fast, efficient, and reliable and that's why our site management clients stick with us.
Boutique Web Hosting with Local Support
We offer affordable web hosting with all the bells and whistles you could want. Although we don't offer bargain basement prices, you'll never be just another number queued up at one of the big guys... you'll have a real person to talk to in plain English. You'll also have less headaches since you won't have to deal with all the mumbo jumbo yourself and can focus on your business instead. We host all of our client sites on state of the art Linux boxes complete with webmail, MySQL, ftp, and more. We also do hosting transfers if you're looking for a new host. Just ask if you need more details.
Simple, Clean, & Intuitive Design
Our design philosophy is to keep things clean and simple. We work hard on all the details to make your web site clean, fresh, user-friendly, easy to navigate and quick to download with the latest web standards. We also consider the big picture for each of our clients since every site has a unique audience and purpose.
Web 2.0 - Drupal, WordPress and more!
So much has changed on the web since the mid-late 1990s and so has our design. We're always implementing cutting edge technologies. Now more than ever people are using the web differently and, as such, we utilize the technology to make each user experience the best it can be. We can help you with Drupal sites, WordPress sites, blogs, RSS feeds, Facebook advertising, and more.
No Job Is Too Small, No Task Is Too Large
One thing that seems to be a common thread with all of our clients is that we can handle projects of all sizes from daily site updates to ongoing search positioning or complete site redesigns. Plus with our experience in education, we can also hold your hand by offering training at whatever level you are at . We've also developed our own content management system to allow our clients to edit their site content easily.
It Starts With Establishing Your Goals
Effective web sites and graphic design starts by assessing your needs and establishing a clear plan of tangible and prioritized deliverables. Initial consultation fees will be waived upon choosing to go with us for your next web site or design project.
