Design & Development Services
Website Design
Having good information on your website is important, but if it doesn't look appropriate to the industry it serves, the message may be completely lost. Let us either translate your current marketing initiatives into a website, or if you need, we can create a new image for your company from scratch. With a website design from Pigz In Zen the potential for growth is great, as your customers will appreciate, and feel encouraged by a professionally designed website.
Web Development
From modification of pre-exiting packages to complete ground up web application development, Pigz In Zen can help! We will, where possible, make use of pre-existing modules and code to save you money, but when the functionality just doesn't exist, let us use our years of experience to create it and empower you and your company. Whatever the language, purpose, or complexity, Pigz In Zen has you covered.
eCommerce
Whether you sell to other businesses or direct to consumers, electronic commerce is a vital sales channel for any business. Selling online enables your customers to do business with you any time of day, at their convenience. Often people will prefer to spend time, on their own, looking at your website when considering a bigger purchase, and in turn will be more likely to ultimately make the purchase with that opportunity to dream. Many companies that invest in eCommerce find that not only do their sales increase over time, but that revenue from their website can easily become half of the company's total earnings.
Online selling can also greatly extend your reach to customers who were previously inaccessible. Not only are online stores 24/7, but they also have no distance limitations. Perhaps your products are of a seasonal (summer) nature but your brick & mortar storefront is in the far north U.S. where winter drags on for half the year. With an online storefront you can continue selling to customers in warmer climates.

Flash Programming
Today websites need to do more than just convey information; they need to impress. One way to do that is through the use of Flash programming to create dynamic and interactive elements. One example of a flash object is the collage of example sites on our own home page, and another are the top two sections on this website that we developed. Another example of what flash can be used for is in fundraising 'thermometers'. Flash can also be used for limitless other purposes.
SEO & Social Web
In the world of Web 3.0, there is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes of web pages that isn't seen on the screen. Invisible as it may seem, it's important! Complex tagging and meta-data have become critically important to get good placement in search engines and an appropriate representation on the social web (i.e. facebook). We can help enable these advanced features on your website, and improve search scores and your company's presence in the social media landscape. Don't be left behind, your competitors are likely already looking into or implementing these technologies!
Other Services
Integrations
We can integrate your website with your existing back-end systems. A common example would be linking an online shopping cart system with your accounting software. We have worked on integration with QuickBooks, and up to SAP ERP systems. Depending on the situation, we may be able to help with the back-end system as well. See our Focus On Retail article for more information.
Point of Sale
Have a retail business, and an online store that both share the same inventory? This can be a nightmare to manage, but with our help your two systems can communicate with each other in real-time. If something is sold in the store, it is immediately removed from available inventory in the online store without any extra effort on your part. If something sells online, receive immediate notification, and know that the POS system will know about the sale. See our Focus On Retail article for more information.
