GloDerWorks
A full service web design, programming, eMarketing and hosting company
Compelling, effective design that invites the user to easily find content and want to return is one fundamental element to the success of a web site. Another is extensive knowledge of compliant, cross-browser compatible modern mark-up. Based on many years experience working with clients in USA, the UK, and several countries around the world, GloDerWorks unites form and function resulting in premium web sites without high agency fees.
The ability to update a site based on your needs and schedule is another core element of web site success. After creating a professional, timeless design that represents you and your site needs, we create the GloDerWorks Content Management System (CMS) to accompany your site. Written by us and customized for your needs, the CMS allows you to update your site with content whenever you desire. The interface is easy to use and designed so that you can update one page, several pages, or the content of your entire site with text and images daily, weekly, monthly, or however often you desire — all without knowing any HTML, without incurring any additional expense, and without paying any maintenance fees. By investing in a professional GloDerWorks site with a CMS you eliminate the need for a "webmaster." The system pays for itself several times over!
We also offer RSS, custom forums, membership systems, custom shopping carts, blogs, calendar and event systems, membership organization systems, and more. We also offer site promotion and search engine optimization/optimsation (SEO) services — with expertise in consumer finance, including loans and mortgages; recruitment, jobs and careers across a wide range of industries; and arts & crafts, with an emphasis on fiber art; and logo and corporate identity services.
Shop owners: ask about our custom calendar system that automatically displays the current month and next several months, displays classes and events for any particular day, and includes a link to the details of that class or event.
We also create custom blogs that can be stand-alone or incorporated into your existing site.
Our clients range from artists, small businesses, and non-profits (including our work in the Parkinson's community) to large institutions and multi-million dollar corporations. We have created sites and done work for several leading art and textile organizations, including the Surface Design Association, the International Quilt Association, the San Diego Watercolor Society, and most recently the Studio Art Quilt Association. Regardless how big or small, we take pride in ALL of our clients and give each client individual attention and service. Our dedication to high quality and service allows us to work with you—whether you need a simple web site or one that requires complex programming—in creating a site that meets your needs. We also offer competitively-priced web hosting, starting at only $10 a month, with live statistic reporting. We invite you to explore our site.
