A website is more than just a window into your organization — it's an opportunity to open unique channels of communication with both current and potential clients and customers. Olszak builds websites and web applications using the latest technology in database systems, programming software, and graphic design.
A study by the Information Technology Services Marketing Association found that 77 percent of decision-makers now find services via the Internet, even after they receive referrals. Your website can be much more than just a necessary adjunct to your organization — ultimately, it should be a productive part of your overall success strategy. Once you have a domain name and web space, you have the power to be a player on the Internet landscape.
Dynamic websites that make your presence known
Millions of people now search the Internet for everything from driving directions to homes for sale. The Internet is a viable place to find not only information of almost any kind, but also tangible goods and services. Many times, if someone can't find your website, then they won't find you period.
No matter your organization’s size, we always deliver affordable end-to-end solutions customized to your unique needs. From a few simple pages to enterprise-scale resource and project management tools, we will ensure that you have all the needed components for a successful launch and then sustained productivity — including domain names, hosting accounts, and database connectivity. To ensure the most user-friendly and stable websites, we design and implement solutions following W3C guidelines and recognized best-practices in programming, navigation, accessibility, and security.
Every Olszak website project focuses on:
- Design consultations to ensure that your website meets your needs and vision every step of the way
- Graphic design and page elements that give your visitors a rich and hassle-free visit to your site
- Interactivity so that you can collect and exchange information with your site visitors
- Rigorous testing and trouble-shooting to eliminate bugs and errors
- Compatibility with user environment factors such as screen resolution and chosen web browser
- Adherence to standards and accepted best-practices in navigation, accessibility, and security
- Search engine optimization techniques that target major sites such as Google, Yahoo, and Lycos
What is a web application?
A web application uses a website as a vehicle to perform a set of actions — such as submitting, retrieving, and downloading information. Most people are familiar with applications found directly on their computers, such as the various programs of the Microsoft Office® suite. These applications require installing files directly on your hard drive and only work given that your computer meets certain requirements — such as operating system compatibility, memory, or processing speed.
 Web applications, on the other hand, require only an Internet browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer® or Mozilla Firefox®. The server that hosts the web application works behind the scenes to quickly process whatever request is made by the website user — such as adding himself or herself to a membership list or retrieving information from a database. The results are then returned to the same Internet browser in a clear and organization manner. Thus, rather than having to write the same application for a number of variables that you may encounter on a user's computer, the application can be written once, deployed once, and then accessed from almost any computer in the world.
Organizational websites that work for you
More than a place to simply display an address and phone number, our website solutions give you a true presence on the web that provides all the information and features your visitors require to learn about and interact with your organization — converting visits into inquiries, and inquiries into results.
We will work with you to ensure that our website solutions fit seamlessly with your mission, skills, and services by creating a new web presence or upgrading an existing one. Olszak works with a number of local and national web-hosting and email service providers to find the best fit for your organization — from storage space to database connectivity. For graphic design elements, we can provide in-house services, can work with your current designers, or suggest qualified design firms. Additionally, Olszak can continue to maintain your website post-launch, or we can build tools that allow you to maintain your own site.
