Web Site Development

The Internet has grown to be a part of everyday life and can give you the capacity to share information, expand your customer base, and expand your target market to a wider range of consumers.

Reasons for building a Web site:

  • Gain customer feedback
  • Reach a larger market
  • Educate customers
  • Keep up with your competition


Adding Content Management Capability

Content Management Systems (CMS) are a one stop shop in the storing and organizing of files for your website. Many CMS solutions offer open source or enterprise software, depending on features. We specialize in the following:

Drupal: A free open source CMS which provides a comprehensive application programming interface (API) which allows developers to add new functionality.

Joomla: A free open source CMS which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications.

TYPO3: A free open source CMS for enterprise purposes on the web and in intranets. It offers full flexibility and extendability while featuring an accomplished set of ready-made interfaces, functions and modules.

Editize: A portable, professional and customizable browser-based content editing component that will drop straight into your Content Management System.

Magento: Integrated e-commerce and content management application. Sell your products and maintain your website in one place.


Web site Maintenance

During the interview process we will construct a maintenance plan that fits your schedule. Some clients prefer to make real-time updates on their own, while others prefer to contact Nickey Media and have us apply the updates. We happily accommodate both.

While Nickey Media will support the use of Third Party Processors to complete transactions, many disadvantages should be known:

  • Consumer Confidence
    Customers are much more comfortable dealing with companies directly instead of relying on outside sources or Web sites to handle their personal information.


  • Security
    The more data is being transferred over multiple networks, the more susceptible it is to being corrupted


Third Party Processors can also be usedadvantageous. Low start-up costs to test marketing strategies, give an understanding of how online commerce transactions are handled, as well as giving innovative guidance to the direction of your online transaction needs.
