Why Blue Fire Media

Our Comprehensive Approach to Website Creation

At Blue Fire Media, we don’t just build websites—we partner with you to create a product that aligns with your South Bend business goals. Our structured process ensures that your vision becomes a reality.

Consultation & Strategy Session

In our initial meeting, we focus on understanding your business needs and goals. We review your current website (if applicable) and discuss what improvements can be made to ensure your new site helps you achieve your objectives.

Sitemap & Design Plan

Before development begins, we map out the site’s structure, from navigation to content organization. You’ll approve the design layout, sitemap, and SEO keywords that will help drive traffic to your site.

Design & Development Phase

Once we have your approval, we dive into the development process. Our skilled programming team builds the site framework while our design team incorporates visual elements. We also integrate written content and optimize for SEO during this phase.

Pre-Launch Review & Refinements

Before launching, we share a preview of your website with you. This gives you a chance to review the design, functionality, and content to ensure everything looks and works as expected. Any necessary adjustments can be made at this stage.

Ongoing Support & Updates

Once your site is live, we continue to support you. From indexing your site for search engines to fixing broken links, we ensure your website runs smoothly. We also offer regular updates and maintenance to keep it fresh and functional.

  Blue Fire Media has handled our website for quite some time, but just recently I have had the opportunity to work with them more closely.  We added another website for their expert team to recreate from a former web design company and they nailed it.  They are very professional, prompt, and great communicators ready, willing, and able to serve.  Blue Fire Media is highly recommended.

  Blue Fire Media helped our company transition from a Squarespace site that was inadequate for our growth.  They were very helpful and provided excellent support and service.  After a hassle-free launch, we made some changes and added a new feature promptly and without issue.  The support after launch has been outstanding. SPC-Consulting-LLC

  Excellent company to work with. Everyone that designed our site listened to our needs and did a great job with our website. Blue Fire did our original website and our second one. Both brought in a lot of new business for us.

  Blue Fire Media was the perfect choice for the Kalamazoo Symphony's website redesign and launch on February 21, 2015.  Their knowledgeable, creative and customer service driven staff made it possible for us to launch a new and completely responsive site (which perfectly reflected our new look and feel) on time, within budget, and with a web based content management system that staff can easily access and update. Our new site is not only user friendly for education partners as well as concert ticket buyers, it has also generated more traffic and kept our visitors engaged longer! Thank you, Blue Fire!

Answers About Our Professional Web Design Solutions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to upgrade my website?

Technology is always changing and evolving. Think about the phone you use now compared to the one you had ten years ago. It’s faster, has a better camera, has longer battery life, is more secure, takes better pictures…using it is a better overall experience. A newer website has similar advantages over older websites. A newer website will show pictures and videos more clearly, run faster, and with responsive web design, they will work properly on all of the latest devices. By updating your website, you are giving your customers a better user-end experience, which keeps users on your website longer and increases the chances of them wanting to pay for your products or services.

What support do you offer after my website is launched?

We provide ongoing maintenance to keep your website running smoothly for the best possible user experience. This includes monitoring 404 errors and installing 301 redirects when appropriate, adding or removing pages from the site upon request, changing photos and graphics when needed, and even training your employees, so they can add photos and posts, themselves.

How will my website be found on search engines?

We take extensive steps to ensure that every website we build is optimized to be found in search engine results. This includes tagging each page with relevant keywords, ensuring that the content is fresh and original, optimizing the speed and performance of the website, and indexing the website to be found in search results. We can also provide ongoing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services to help boost and maintain your position in search results.

Can we use our own pictures on our website?

You are welcome to provide your own photos for the website, but some photos can potentially cause aesthetic or functional issues. Larger photo file sizes can slow down the performance of your site. Smaller photos can become pixelated and hurt the look of your site. We can analyze the pictures you have to determine if they will work properly on your site. In the case that your pictures won’t work, we can provide photography services for clear, vibrant photos on your site.

How long does it take to build and launch a website?

Generally it takes 2-3 months to build and launch a website, although there are many factors that could shorten or lengthen the process. Smaller, basic websites can be done more quickly; whereas larger websites with different types of functionality will take longer to build. We try not to rush websites, if at all possible, to ensure quality performance from the very moment the site goes live.
