Motion Graphics is a generic term for animated graphical elements developed by using advanced animation and 3D programs such as Flash, Swift 3D, 3DS Max and Premiere. Using these software packages, we can create graphical elements for your website. Doing so tends to often be the single greatest graphical enhancement used to set your company apart from your competition on the web.

Flash elements can give your website the ‘WOW’ factor that virtually every website can benefit from. The correct implementation of such technologies can vary from industry to industry. For a Record Label website, the target audience may be teenagers who respond to high impact animations, with intense 3D graphics. While the development of such animation objects would be the absolute best move for a Record Label company, it would be inappropriate for a Home Builder’s website. The target audiences are completely different, and would respond best to subtle animations, with quicker loading times.

Without a doubt, when properly designed and implemented, these Flash elements can clearly and effectively communicate your message to your prospects in a way that mere text and graphics cannot.

We can build a system can be used for keeping your website audience informed and up to date with events, and keep everyone in your company informed of meetings, trips, or other important happenings. The Advanced Calendar Style Event Management system is flexible enough to use as many or as few features listed below:

• Multiple calendar views, to setup specialized calendars for either public or private access
• Auto-reminder on events can be set to remind you at a pre-determined time before the event occurs.
• Subscribers list that enables a user or visitor to sign up for notifications or reminders of a particular event.

Would you like to benefit from multiple leads / sales off of your website users, or other entities? Several of our existing clients are benefiting from a custom built Affiliate Tracking system. We can build a program right on your website – whether a leads generation, ecommerce or membership based website – that can offer people the ability to refer others to your website, and track the sales / leads you get off of them.

A general explanation is as follows:

• Your user creates an affiliate account
• A randomized affiliate ID, and specialized web link is automatically generated
• The affiliate shows other people the generated web link, or places it on their website
• Once the link is clicked, the database is pinged by the randomized affiliate ID, and the affiliate is given credit. The affiliate can login and track how many leads / conversions they have provided you with, and you can reward them accordingly.

Having an affiliate and sign-up tracking system can be a great enhancement to include in your marketing techniques.

Millions become frustrated with their existing website when it comes time to change something. They need to contact their website developer to make every single little change for them. Tanner Creative has developed a Content Management System named the Control Center. The Control Center is an MS Word style editor that allows for our clients to quickly and easily update their website using and online username and password – from anywhere on the web! If you are at a tradeshow 3,000 miles away and want to post pictures up from a hotel, you can do it. If you want to target a specific industry through advertising, you can custom tailor a web page just for that industry. The options are limitless!

You can also add fonts, colors, sizes, video, links, graphics and audio. In addition to this, you will also be able to add new pages. Some of our clients start out with only a dozen pages, and as time goes bye, they add hundreds of new pages for marketing purposes – without the need to know any programming. In addition to this, it is search engine friendly, unlike many content management systems around as it will give you control to input meta key tags specifically for each and every page you create – simply by typing in a few boxes.

Difficulty of navigation is one of the top reasons a user will leave your website. Whether you are running a leads generation, ecommerce or membership based website, custom built search functions for your website can add ease of navigation for your traffic, and can be a great enhancement to your back-end processes if a web application is built with lots of data to sort through.

A custom search function can be given to any website, and would help tremendously if there are hundreds of web pages to a lot of product, and/or if you are trying to find specific items quickly & easily without having to swim through a lot of data.

The number one reason a prospect will not do business with a company that they found online is because their website looks amateurish, and unprofessional. We take great pride in offering you a satisfaction guarantee on your design. If you do not like the design, we will continue to design until you are completely satisfied.

Our approach when designing a website layout is to make sure the design will be relevant to your prospects and industry. Colors, sizes, photographs, button naming, and ease of navigation all need to be considered for careful and proper design. This also means the website should work well in both of the major web browsers, as well as be easily viewed by all screen resolutions still commonly in use today.

If your company sells products, then the odds are you can greatly benefit from selling the items online. Tanner Creative has worked with many companies who have decided to go online and either sell their items world wide, or merely sell their items online to neighboring areas.

We will integrate into your E-commerce based Shopping Cart Website, as many of the following items you would like

• Take credit card payments, pay pal and checks
• Run specials, discounts and feature items
• Add, edit and delete an unlimited number of categories and products – The ability to completely manage these items on your own!
• Track customer order history & allow for your customers to view their own order history
• Set up-sell featured items which will offer your prospects specific items that may be of use to them based upon what they are purchasing
• Set shipping status notifications to your customers
• Automatically generated packing slips

Selling your items online is like never having to close up your shop. It will always be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.

Sending large files over the Internet can prove to be difficult many times. Oftentimes, emails can bounce back due to the large file size, and burning CD’s to ship to people can prove to be quite cumbersome as well.

We have built a File Management System that can live on the server to be accessed by anyone with an Internet connection! As the Administrator, you will be able to create an unlimited number of folders, upload large files (such as videos, PDF’s, Power Point Files and more) and assign specialized, private access to users. The end result is an easy to use one-stop solution that allows you to share as many files with as many people as you like, with the same privacy as you would have by sending the attachment in an email.

There are many online forms on websites that you can fill out some fields, and click send, which will in turn send your inputted data to the user. Oftentimes, your inputted data will be sent in a sloppy email to the website owner. Generally speaking, a form that sends your inputted data to a database for future manipulation can get quite costly – especially if you have multiple forms handling inputted data in this manner.

What our Form Builder allows is for our clients to create an unlimited number of Forms that can take a user’s inputted data, and place it into a database. To go even further, the data has dynamically generated search controls which will allow you quick and easy searching for data. You will also be able to sort the data, view timestamps of when the data was inputted and download the data in excel spreadsheet format.

Quote Request forms, contact forms, reservation forms, and more all can be easily created using this system. This is a useful tool that will truly give your website the interactive touch that every website should have.

Some of the largest and most profitable websites are built around community based websites, which allow for potentially thousands of users with a common interest to congregate in one spot, and either chat or post messages on a bulletin board.

Online Bulletin Boards, otherwise known as Forums, can allow for users to create an account and post messages, send private messages back and forth to each other – and even opt in to received specials / notifications from you.

A Chat program for your website can do basically what the Bulletin Board system does, but in real-time. Think of it as a phone conversation, but instead of talking you are typing.

Either one of these items can be integrated into your website to increase the possibility of your visitors coming back to your website.

Tracking leads, quotes and customers through a web application is one of the many ways Tanner Creative can use custom programming to streamline your business and enhance your processes via the web. Enabling your sales team to manage leads and quotes histories will give any member of your company a quick overview of what conversation has taken place during through the sales process.

The Mailing List Manager will allow for you to compile a list of names and email addresses on the web through your website. Your ever-growing list will help you to keep in contact with your prospects and clients to offer them your services as frequently as you would like.

The system allows for an Administrative user to login to a password protected web page and manage all email addresses. You will then be able to use an MS Word Style editor to compose an email. You will be able to add text, graphics and links. Studies show a 40% increase in response when graphics and different

styled fonts are used in emails. Our system allows for you to style your message in any way you would like. The Mailing List Manager also lets you create subscriber groups, and assign specific email addresses to them. For example, if you have a list of email addresses that you would like to group as “Existing Clients”, you can have a pre-defined list, enabling you to custom tailor a sales letter only for your existing clients, and then send it out only to them. Another group you could create might be for “New Prospects”. This is the ultimate system for staying in contact with your existing prospects and customers.

Many have found the web to be a highly profitable place when using it to create income by way of selling memberships or advertising on a membership or subscription based website.

Selling Memberships or Subscriptions: Generating income from selling subscriptions/memberships or advertising can be done by setting up an auction website, dating website, online magazine subscription website or many other kinds of websites that create a lot of traffic to them. Many people will either charge for use of the website, or will make the usage of the website free and charge for advertising. Imagine a dating website that sells memberships for $9.95 a month to simply search for people in their area who are interested in a relationship. Additionally, the owners of a website can charge money for selling banner advertisements to companies who could benefit from people who are looking for relationships such as perhaps, a card company, flower or candy shop.

If you have a lot of photos and/or videos you would like to upload to your website, then the Photo/Media Gallery is for you. Many of our clients use it as an online photo album, or to showcase their work.

The gallery will give you the ability to create an unlimited number of categories which can be easily navigated through, and will automatically resize your images for you, putting them in a web-friendly size and a thumbnail size to be clicked on for a larger view. In addition, you will have the ability to write a title and description for each item you upload.

If your company handles multiple projects at one time, online project management can benefit you. The ability to create, manage and track projects from the web is a useful system for anyone who needs quick access to all open projects from any computer with Internet access, at anytime. Features include:

• Unlimited Project Tracking
• Break down Projects into Tasks with Deadlines
• Setup Contractors and/or Employees, then Assign them to Tasks
• Message Log Views for All Workers to Use to Report Progress on
• Track client requests and responses

An online project management system is a great way for you and your Project Managers to keep abreast of all projects in one place, and view it from anywhere in the world with a computer and internet connection.

Many websites give users the ability to create an account which would give them special access to items on the website that are not available for a regular website visitor. Such items could be the ability to order off of an ecommerce website, change policies on an auto insurance website, lookup the balance on a house from a home mortgage company and more.

Whatever is needed, we can build a custom registration & management system that will enable your users/prospects/clients to login and view only the items that you want to give them access to. In addition, you would have access behind a password protected page to add, edit, delete and modify any user needed.

Our hosting services are among the top of the industry in terms of features. Our hosting packages start with 350 megabytes of space, 4 gigabytes of transfer, email, php, mysql database, 24 hour backup, a traffic analysis software program, a web based email client and a control panel to manage everything. We pride ourselves in offering a custom-tailored, turn key package for our clients, so they do not have to worry with setting up their website.

Coming soon: We will be implementing a third backup location on the east coast, which will backup our servers every 8 hours.

Without traffic, the greatest and best looking website in the world will not be successful. Tanner Creative works a lot with Google Adwords, which will place a link of your website to the top of the search engine page. Google Adwords allows for website owners to pay for a position on the search engine results page. This is called setting up a pay-per-click campaign, where you set your budget, the amount of time to be placed, and the amount of money you want to pay for each time someone clicks on your website, based upon the keyword that you selected to pay for.

Website development and design are not the only things that Tanner Creative offers. We also offer logo creation, kiosk interface design, marketing literature, interactive CD ROM / DVD ROM development and more. Contact us to find out more information.
