What Prestodigital Does Best

Design is at the heart of everything we do. Prestodigital specializes in user-centered, web and application design and development. We’re experts in visual design, user experience design, game design, information architecture, software engineering, HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Livecode.

What Can Prestodigital Do for You?

We’re who you hire when you want your clients to be able to visit a customized, beautiful, navigable website or web app, designed to suit their needs. We apply a designer's eye and software developer's extensive experience to all of our work. We’ll treat you and your brand with the utmost respect. Your vistors will not only come away with what they were searching for, but also an impression of who you are as a company — as if they had a conversation with you.

We’ll analyze your competition and optimize your content with the most salient key words and phrases for the best possible organic SEO rankings. If you run a local business, we’ll be happy to set up a Google My Business account for you. We’ll also set up hosting services for your website or web app, if you don’t already have them. Do you need a custom content management system for your site? We can do that too.

Our design strategy—right from the start

We begin every project with intention, research, and analysis. Identifying your audience is the first step. You might have more than one audience and we’ll need to design for all of them. Whether you offer a service or product, we’ll describe your service or product up front, and what makes it unique, usually on your home page.

Your website is where potential clients form first impressions and perceptions about your brand or company. If you make your visitors work too hard to find answers to their questions, or if they leave your site wondering what it is you do, you’ve lost a customer.

Think of your website as a phone call. Unlike print design, visitors come to your website with an agenda, and not a lot of patience. You have roughly seven seconds to answer a visitor’s questions before they bounce to another website. It’s imperative that we identify the questions in your users’ minds before they land on your site. We accomplish this with a number of online tools, in-person interviews, and of course, your knowledge of your own clients.

Too many gimmicks obscure good design.

Your website visitors are looking to have their questions answered. Eye catching graphics and video do serve a purpose, but too many gimmicks can get in the way of your message and frustrate your potential clients.

We’re the mom & pop store of web design.

You know how the mom & pop store on the corner will bend over backwards to find that special item you need? That’s what we do for our clients. We’ll keep working and re-working until your website is the perfect solution for your brand. After your site or app has launched, we’re here to offer support.

No monthly maintenance fees

We write our code from scratch, so it stands the test of time. We don't charge monthly maintenance fees because our code is so stable, there’s nothing to maintain on a monthly basis.
