• Blog Installs

  

  At Illumination WD we realize that not all clients are able to build a custom website from scratch.  Design and functionality decisions can take time and money and are cost prohibitive for very small companies, or companies who would need allot of content to change very quickly.

  
  

  Please look at some of the blogs we've installed in the portfolio section of this website.  Most have needed minimal custom work to  match the client’s needs and can be created quickly to meet deadlines.

• Content Consulting

  Many of our customers come to us and want a website. That's the easy part. Once the site is created the real challenge is in creating meaningful content to help your average Googler understand what your company's services are and how you can help them. To do this Illumination Web Development will assist you in posting content you already have access to, or assisting in arranging for photographers, writers and whatever you will need to make sure your website is successful.

• Video Production for Web Comercials

  Partnered with Direct IT we worked to create a studio environment, utilizing affordable open source technology. This allows us at IWD to create professional web commercials that utilize green screen technology.
  The videos created for Direct IT's 2010 marketing campaign were distributed as a direct mailer on USB Keys as well as posted on their website.
  Videos are recorded, produced, and the players created by Illumination WD. All content and personalities in the videos are the creations of Direct IT.
  Illumination Web Development can help you create your web commercial using your own staff members or actors, to achieve a professional and cost effective commercial for distribution online, USB Keys, or other digital media. Also great to have running along side a booth at a trade show!

• Web Hosting

  We host all our sites on a open source platform, Linux. Our hosting package includes storing and backing up you site and database, managing your domains, and a custom email setup.

• Web Site Redevelopment

  Often companies will get to a point where their website still looks good, but needs some added functionality. Maybe it's adding dynamic content when it used to be static, or changing the way your e-store works.
  The concept of a redevelopment is growing in popularity. Redevelopment helps to improve the functionality and service level of a website while leaving the aesthetic your customers are familiar with the same.
  This is also a great option if you have substantial print and booth media, a significant investment, that you wish to keep the same and it matches your existing website.
  Whatever your reasons for redeveloping your website you will be glad you took the time to make the necessary upgrades to improve your business.
