Mystica will do more than simply design and implement a Web site for your new or existing business. We will also work with you to develop a winning Internet marketing strategy. Through careful planning and thoughtful execution, we will get you noticed on the Web.

Porting your new or existing business to the Web can be a daunting challenge. We're here to help. Whether it's a simple Web page or an enterprise solution that you need, you can count on us to deliver a world-class product that will be an integral part of your success on the World Wide Web.

Mystica is a mixture of technical ability and graphic design.

If a site is loaded with graphics, it might look great to you but unless the images are optimised for the internet they will take too long to download. Resulting in your potential clients logging off and going to other site, or worse still, going to the sites of your competitors!

The content of your site is of equal importance - relevant, precise information with regard to your products, services or company policies should be available to your visitors. The site should be maintained and updated regularly if appropriate.


And finally, remember -
with a website you are no longer a local business,
you are globally available anytime!


Mystica will make sure that your web site is:

  1. Asthetically pleasing to the eye.
  2. Interesting and capable of holding visitors attention.
  3. Easily navigated without getting lost - all hyperlinks valid, etc.
  4. Readable on any size monitor, set at any resolution with only a minimal amount of scrolling.
  5. Has a fast download time - it is reported that the average internet user will wait only 20 seconds for a site to download.
  6. Equally attractive in multiple browsers.
  7. Rendering the correct colors on PC or Mac .
  8. Giving your visitors a feel for your organisation

Project Planning/ Management - Planning for a web site is similar to other media when it comes to defining objectives and goals. However, technical knowledge, interface design, web graphics, programming, and developmental requirements separate a good web site from a poorly thought-out and developed one.

Writing and Editing - Studies of how people use the web found that they do not read; rather, they scan text. Let us help make your web message clear and concise.

Interface, Interactive and Navigation Design - The site's interface, interactive, and navigational design defines how the site will look and affects the user's ability to access and escape content quickly. The interface designer is responsible for laying out the proposed locations of content, interactive areas (including forms, e-commerce, and search fields), identify navigation design (access & escape routes of content) and all graphical elements (including photos, video, animation, and illustrations) that will be used to enhance and support the web site's goals.

Creative Services - Depending on your needs, your web site can be developed with sound, video, moving graphics, digital still photography and illustrations. Mystica has the technical experience to produce graphics that download fast and look great on any browser.

Layout, Production, and Programming - The web page developer has the responsibility to bring the art director's/interface designer's vision of what the web site will look like to life in the final layout and production phase. The job of a programmer is to contribute to the project by developing custom scripts, integrating databases and establishing on-line transactions for e-commerce solutions that make the site fully functional and interactive.

Usability Testing - Usability testing measures the quality of the user's experience with the web site. Many sites are never tested before they are put on the internet; owners of these sites are then left wondering why users still use the phone to call for information instead of finding it on the web site. User testing is a critical step in the web development process, don't miss it, or you'll miss out.

Search Engine Oprimization - We build SEO into all our web sites by utilizing intutitive meta tags and analytics.

Training and Maintenance - One of the most important aspects of having a web site is keeping it fresh with new content and graphics. We can maintain your site for you, or train people on your staff to maintain it.

Do you already have a website?

         How about a host for your site?

Yes? Good!

Do you have people in your organization that maintain your website?

        How about an employee that can update the site with new technologies and has the ability to add to your site on-demand,         on-time, and with the results you are looking for?

No? Great!!

This is where we come in.

We here at Mystica have learned that there are many competent website 'designers' and 'hosts' out there.

Where are they after you are up and running?

We want to help you with the site you already have. After all, you paid for the domain name. You paid for the original design, and for the continuous hosting. So, now maybe you don't have time or resources to maintain your site.

What we offer is website maintenance. This could mean anything from just checking on your site a few times per month to make sure it is in proper condition to re-doing the site from the ground up. Please look through the rest of our site to see the services and capabilities we offer.

If you have a website that you just can't or don't want to deal with, we are your solution.
