Helping Your Online Presence Evolve

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
(Charles Darwin)

We design sites that are easy to update and maintain, helping instead of hindering your business growth. Our content management recommendations make your website more adaptable to change. You will be able to make most changes without programming and can always get assistance from us when required.

Specialization is critical

“The greatest improvement in the productive powers of labour, and the greater part of the skill, dexterity, and judgment with which it is anywhere directed, or applied, seem to have been the effects of the division of labour.”
(Adam Smith)

You’ve heard it all before, those web companies that promote themselves as a “full service, complete spectrum, one-stop, all-in-one, integrated, seamless provider.” And you know all too well that what they say, and what they deliver, are not necessarily one and the same. We’re experts in just one thing—which probably explains why we do it so well.

Our specialties include:

  • Static brochure-style websites using up-to-date web standards (HTML5, CSS3, jQuery)

  • Content-driven websites using WordPress and custom themes
  • Custom data-driven websites
  • Database design and implementation
  • WordPress plugin additions to existing sites

Whether you need a new custom websites, or help with an existing website, we can help you not just adapt—but thrive—by building new features based on modern web standards.

Web Design—the “right brain”side on web development

Web design is, according to wikipedia, “skills and disciplines that are used in the production and maintenance of websites.”

You can think of web design as the creative side of web development—everything that effects your visitors’ experience like concept, layout, design, and information architecture.

Web Development—the “left brain” side of web design

You can think of web development as the technical side of web design—everything that makes your site tick like programming, security, configuration, and installation.

Web Design and Development—Part creative and part technical

Now you can have both with Silver Maple—everything from concept to deployment supported by training and maintenance. Check out what a math degree—an arts minor—and over 25 years of development expertise have in common.

We can help with maintenance… or not

We’re more than happy to implement your website’s content updates—or not. To make sure you always have the option of easy self-management, we use Content Management Systems like WordPress and Joomla! to build most sites. These can be easily maintained with just basic word processing skills. Although you are welcome to contract with us to provide content updates and maintenance, it’s not a requirement.

You are free to stay… or go

Everything we develop comes with training built in. You also receive all the code and passwords so you never feel trapped. You are not locked into our services.
