Black Cap Design Services

At Black Cap Design we offer a range of services including:

Web Site Design and Development

We specialize in designing attractive, functional and intuitive web sites. Each Black Cap design is unique and geared to the needs of its target audience.

Every site we develop is W3C standards-compliant, cross-browser compatible, and optimized for accessibility, searchability and speed.

At Black Cap Design, we believe that effective design is the key to enabling visitors to your site to find exactly what they are looking for, quickly, efficiently and easily.

During the design and development process we:

  1. assess your needs, and learn about your target audience.
  2. identify the visual style that suits your needs and tastes.
  3. review a list of sites you find visually appealing and effective to confirm the look and feel you're after.
  4. determine the technologies that are right for your site.
  5. provide up to 3 initial mockups in Photoshop to get your feedback early in the design process.
  6. modify the mockup according to your comments and suggestions.
  7. code the site interface, including the navigation menu, buttons, images and placeholder content so you can see the site in action.
  8. make modifications to the interface according to your specifications.
  9. conduct comprehensive testing for errors, bugs, browser compatibility, accessibility, and web standards compliance.
  10. ensure that you are completely satisfied with the site before it goes live.

Because we don't take a cookie-cutter approach to web design, the cost to design and develop your site will depend on its size and complexity. Contact us at for a free estimate, or use our contact form to provide us with an idea of what you're looking for in a web site.

Site Redesign

The Web has changed a lot in the last five years. If your site is looking tired or is no longer fully functional, it may be time to think about modernizing, refreshing or completely redesigning it.

At Black Cap Design, we adhere to modern web standards to ensure the sites we design will withstand the test of time. If you're interested in learning more about a partial redesign, complete overhaul of your site or the addition of one or more components, contact us at for a free consultation.

Ongoing Site Maintenance and Update Service

A web site can be a hugely effective tool for getting your message out there, making connections or growing your business. But that effectiveness wears off quickly if the content isn't fresh, if bugs or errors are left untended or if visitors encounter barriers to getting what they're after on your site.

Routine site maintenance can become a major headache for many site administrators. Black Cap Design can debug, update and keep your site current.

Why not give your site the cutting edge it deserves? We would be happy to provide you with a free estimate for site maintenance. Contact us at .

Logo Design

The logo is a powerful tool that can quickly place you, your business or organization in the minds of your target audience. Your logo is typically the first thing that visitors to your site will see. Make your mark with effective branding.

At Black Cap Design, we study the styles and characteristics of your organization and assess the typical needs, wants and visiting habits of your intended audience. We will provide you with 2 logo designs to choose from, and work through an iterative process of refining your branding image.

Your logo will be available in a range of formats allowing it to be used in electronic and print media for business cards, letterhead, brochures and advertisements.

The cost for logo design starts at $200.

Consultation and Training

Increasingly, Web users and administrators are interested in learning how the Internet works and taking a more hands-on approach to site maintenance and troubleshooting.

If you're interested in learning how to update and maintain your own site or you require occasional or one-time assistance we would be happy to talk with you. We charge an hourly fee of $60 for consultation and training.
