Web development is a collaborative creative process.
The procedure is simple:
- we meet with you to discuss initial goals and timetable
- content requirements are defined and met
- layout and structural development are completed
- site is submitted for your creative and contextual review
(any requested changes are made during this step) - final admin configurations are performed
- site is officially launched
SDT has serviced websites of all different sizes and types. Whatever your needs are, we can meet them. WordPress and Blogger allow clients to easily update pages from any Internet browser. Web photo galleries can also be self-managed. Please inquire about these user-friendly site features.
WordPress (WP) is utilized on larger projects for its CMS friendliness, easy web administration and modular plugin versatility. WP also indexes efficiently into the search engines and is excellent for organizing large amounts of static content. We’ve also switched to Google’s Blogger platform for smaller websites in lieu of XHTML, as it has an edge on simplicity of site configuration and maintenance.
Our production process is custom-tailored to your requirements, ensuring the highest level of customer service possible.

We cater to both new and seasoned authors. Please inquire for a quote on your project.
IT support
Computers are complex. Software is not foolproof. In fact, much of modern technology is actually planned obsolescence. Therefore, problems occur by default. When your PC, Mac, printer or scanner isn’t behaving correctly, it can be a real drag and bring your productivity to a grinding halt. SDT has almost 20 years of technical experience. Let this knowledge work for you. In many cases, we can pick up your machine within 24 hours or visit you for an onsite service call.
We also perform hardware upgrades (RAM, hard drives, etc.), along with malware removal, computer tune-ups and new peripherals installation.
