Web Development 

Creative custom website design and development. Proven, well-managed process.

With more than 13 years of providing web technology solutions, Beacon can handle your custom web development, whether it is an ecommerce website or purely content.  Simply put, we make your website a productive business tool.

“Beacon’s experience with Cascade Server & proven web development methodology were key factors in guiding our Steering Committee and University through the entire process.  They delivered a state-of-the-art website with the functionality and administrative capabilities that our students, parents, faculty, alumni and administration need in today’s technology.”     - Dr. Brenda Allen, Provost for WSSU

The Beacon Team focuses on clearly understanding your needs before entering into costly development.  Therefore, we recommend breaking up larger web projects into two phases, an Analysis & Design Phase and a Development & Implementation Phase.  Essentially, this allows you to create a detailed “blueprint” and obtain a fixed price before you “build the house”. 

The Analysis & Design Phase produces a number of deliverables, but it primarily allows us to collaborate with you to better understand your business, identify unique functional/design requirements and discuss the various technical options that will impact the budget.  During the Development & Implementation Phase, a dedicated, experienced project manager works closely with you to guide the construction of your website, oversee thorough testing and ensure timely delivery.
