DesignWIZ is a comprehensive – people driven – solution to building and deploying websites. This means that we take care of all the necessary steps to plan, build, and launch a website for your business. We take into account your e-mail, remote office access, business practices, and technology to form a solution that will add value to your business and minimize – or even eliminate – disruptions. DesignWIZ is different – from other web design companies – because of extensive IT infrastructure knowledge, custom web development platform, and prove search engine optimization track record.

Proper planning of all components that might be affected by the web development project.
Market/Competitive Analysis.
Domain name registration, management, and record pointing.
E-Mail services record configuration (POP3, Google-Apps for Business, Exchange Server, and Anti-Spam filtration systems).
Website Design, Development, and Consulting.
Search Engine Optimization and Marketing
Website solution hosting.
Patches, upgrades, and security fixes.

Why is all this important? Frequently, business owners that engage in web-development projects cause unintended problems with e-mail, remote access, and security. This is because many systems are tied into proper, and often complex, domain record configurations. Most web companies, web developers, or even IT professionals lack the necessary experience to properly handle all aspects of an online presence.

Core Website Features

tcmpuzzlesolution DesignWIZ’s core is an efficient, highly customizable, and technologically advanced framework. Our role is that of a systems integrator: we take components/modules/plugins – together referred to as extensions – and integrate them into our core solution.

When asked to explain the core framework and extensions, our best analogy is: “DesignWIZ’s Joomla and Website Core is like the operating system (Windows or Mac OS) on your computer. It is already built, but requires some personalization. We make the necessary adjustments. From there, we integrate the necessary tools – synonymous with the programs on your computer – to do various tasks.”

What is website-as-a-service?
DesignWIZ provides all the infrastructure to personalize and display a website for your company. Our technical team maintains the all core components and can even provide you with content, or administrative, support.
How is DesignWIZ different from traditional web-design?
Traditional web design uses custom HTML/Java/ColdFusion/PHP/ASP/etc code to develop a custom solution for your business. You are then responsible for managing and maintaining it. DesignWIZ’s approach utilizes a content-management-system (Joomla! and WordPress) to create a personalized website that represents your business.
Why choose DesignWIZ?
DesignWIZ offers a different approach to website design, hosting, and maintenance. We strive to give you feature rich websites and the technical expertise to run them. Small companies can do big things at affordable rates.
Who owns my content?
You, and your business. All of the content supplied by the customer belongs to the customer. For further details, please review our Terms of Service and your Personalization Agreement. Should you terminate your account (or the account is terminated for any reason), we will export all of your supplied content and make it available for download within 14-days of a written request.
Can I move the website to another hosting company?
No, because we provide the website as a service to your business, the site’s framework is part of that service.
