what we do

WEBSITE DESIGN + DEVELOPMENT

Our bread & butter – Our expertise! Website design and development is where we first started and continue to exceed expectations. WordPress websites are what we’ve chosen to sink our teeth into. WordPress is the perfect platform for any website – big or small!

CUSTOM APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Browser-based applications can be built to do just about anything. We utilize modern technology and code to build anything that you can imagine. These projects are best with our Velocity Project Model (ask us what that is!).

Managed Hosting

We do more than just host your website – we manage it! Every day, your website is at risk for potential vulnerabilities that plague the interwebs. Our Managed Hosting takes your website’s security to heart. With our monthly plans, your website software will stay regularly updated, protected with our firewalls and security scanning, regular backups with quick recovery and more!

OnDemand support

Sometimes you don’t need a huge project to get the job done. That’s why we make it easy to work with us, even if it’s for 1-2 hours. If you need help loading new content on your website, build a new feature, training on how to use WordPress, or clean up a hacked website, these are just a few ways that we can provide OnDemand support.

Strategy & Consultation

Part of what makes a development project successful is the strategy behind it. Our goal is to listen, to understand your business and its goals. With the vast amount of expertise within the Development team, we can partner with you to create a strong and successful strategy.

What sets us apart?

We ask the right questions

You are a special snowflake, and so is your project. We believe the best web technology services grow from developing a keen understanding of your business first, and then tailoring solutions to fit those exact needs.

working with us

1

Getting to know you

We work with many different organizations within various industries. Because of this, we have to approach every project uniquely. We first start by getting to know you. You will first meet with the Manager of Development and share as much as possible about your prospective project. We also want to know who you are as an organization. What makes you unique? What are your goals? Who is your audience? All of this context helps us to know how to best shape your project. We may request more than one meeting for technical discovery purposes. 

2

PROPOSAL & ESTIMATION​

Following this initial meeting and/or technical discovery process, we will take 1-2 weeks to create the proposal and estimate for your project. During this process, we will also define the project to either be a Classic or Velocity type of project.

3

During the project

Your project will start with a kickoff meeting where all expectations will be communicated. Check-in meetings will be set for every 2 weeks until the end of the project. This allows for everyone to stay on the same page throughout the project. A staging site will be created to allow, giving you the opportunity to stay-in-the-know for the entirety of the project build.

Going live

The end has come - it's time to launch your site! We will perform our go-live checklist but also encourage our clients to test the site prior to it going live. Let's iron out all of the bugs prior to launching!

5

after the project

We encourage all of our clients to think about the hosting and security of their websites. Consider one of our Manage Hosting plans. It'll keep your website secure, giving you the confidence and assurance that your website will be working FOR you, not against you. Regardless of selecting a Managed Hosting plan, you will be placed on our OnDemand Support client list. Use us as much or as little as you want. We are here to help whenever needed.

Development FAQs

Here are a few common questions we hear from our clients. What questions do you have?

Every project is unique and will have its own timeline. But it is a good idea to allow for at least 6-8 weeks as a starting point for your timeline. It’ll take longer the more complex your project is.

Content Management System (CMS) is the platform that the website will sit on. A CMS allows for you, our client, to be able to keep your website content updated. If you have the ability to use email or Microsoft Word, you have the ability to use a CMS! Our CMS of choice is WordPress.

There are many CMS platforms available, but the most popular is WordPress. WordPress is an extremely versatile platform. We can use it for small, medium, large, and enterprise sized websites. We can keep it simple, or we can build complex systems on top of it. By keeping our focus on WordPress, we have been able to master it and have become experts with it. 

As a client of ours, we don’t want to force you down a path that only allows for Greystone to work on it. By having your website built with WordPress, you have options in the future to utilize many website developers to maintain your website.

For any website project, this should be a feature that is included. Responsive design allows for your website to respond to any device (desktop, tablet, or mobile device). Since mobile device use has increased over the years and continues to increase, it is vital that your website be responsive. With any Greystone project, responsive design is ALWAYS included.

The short answer is “no”. We have chosen to focus our efforts and talents on development rather than bring digital marketing into the fold. 

That said, we do build your website keeping SEO in mind. We will build it to be fast, responsive, and all SEO meta tags are represented. We can provide SEO consulting upon request. SEO consulting will give you the knowledge and tools to know when and how to hire the right Digital Marketing company.
