So what goes in to a mulitmedia website? The answers can be nearly limitless. In the early days of web design, sites were more than ninety percent text and a few scattered images. Those days are long gone. Today, in this technology driven, rapidly changing business and marketing environment, internet users are looking for more and more visual appeal while searching for just the right content. Balancing the two, while developing sites for multiple computer and browser platforms ... not to mention different versions of each of those platforms... can be a demanding and sometimes frustrating task.
That is why The MultiMedia Factory has a significant advantage over traditional web development firms. Our staff of designers, programmers, artists, and technicians have been brought together from various media creation sectors. Our facilities house not only state of the art web development studios, we offer an in-house graphics design studio, a state of the art digital audio production facility, a video capture and editing studio, and photography and animation rooms ALL ON SITE. This is what we can do ....

PROGRAMMING
If your web development project requires extensive back end programmingfor server side applications, database management, e-commerce, customer tracking, or a unique site specific application, our programmers have the tools, experience, and creativity to develop the code necessary to make your site not only aesthetically appealing but efficient and productive.
AUDIO
Way back in the days before the internet (in the 1980's and early '90's) The founder of The MultiMedia Factory began his media career in audio production. This is still an important facet of our company's identity. With award winning composers and musicians on staff and at our disposal, your web development project will benefit from not only the talent and experience of these artists, but also the state of the art, in-house digital recording facility in which they will be created and developed.
VIDEO
Video production, capture and editing are also vital components of The MultiMedia Factory. Incorporating video from existing sources or developing from scratch is no problem for our developers. Knowing how, when, and where to use video within your site is vital to differentiate between a site that contains video elements ... and a multimedia website.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Using only state of the art digital and film technologies ... within our new photo studio or on location ... our photographers can capture your product's image to maximize its appeal and effectiveness for use within the web application. Want professional images of your office and staff? ... no problem. Not only do we offer still image photography, we are fully capable of creating 360° virtual tours of your product or location.
ANIMATION
Animation in web design is becoming more and more usefulin not only developing a unique site, but also in creating pages that will keep the reader entertained while still providing the content you wish to convey. The use of too much Flash or animation however can render you page essentially useless to both search engines and users alike. Our designers know how to avoid the "animation pitfalls" and create one of a kind products to educate, inform, and entertain your readers.
ANALYSIS
Analysis of your past, present and future web development needs is probably the most important aspect of the development process. A site or application that won't grow with your company is relatively useless after a very short time. At The MultiMedia Factory, the first step of any project is to discuss with you the requirements of the web application, how it works within your current marketing / production strategy, then try to ascertain how these needs may change over the next several months or years. Only then can a web application stand the test of time.
COPY CREATION
Need a little boost in your advertising text? How about knowing what words to include to maximize search engine results? That is where the copy writers at The MultiMedia Factory come in. Our writers know what to say, how to say it, and just as importantly, what not to say. Let our staff create the best copy possible for your site. Whether from scratch, or just to spruce up your message, a few choice phrases and essential keywords can go a LONG way in creating an effective site.
