web site design

Your socially responsible business is unique; why shouldn’t your web site be? nrichmedia creates innovative web sites that help your business stand out from the crowd. When your business or organization has a top quality web site that speaks to their needs, prospective clients see that you’re professional and are offering what they are looking for which makes them feel confident in enlisting your services.

web site re-design

Are you finding that you’re not showing off (or even embarrassed of) your existing web site? Well-meaning friends or relatives may have done you a favor by creating a cheap or free site for your business, but they’re most likely not professional designers and it probably shows. Furthermore, if your site wasn’t designed by someone who understands how people utilize the web, it won’t be getting the traffic it needs, nor will it convince your visitors to take the action that you want them to.

Your web site is a reflection of your values and the quality of the products or services you provide. It should connect you to your visitors and show them how well you understand their needs and what they are looking for. If your visitors are not impressed with your site, they’re not impressed with your business, and they won’t buy your products or enlist your services!

Even a well-designed site needs a “facelift” every once in a while to keep it looking fresh. Is it time to step up your online image? nrichmedia re-designs web sites with noticeable improvement in both appearance and results.

	"Nathaniel Richman, of nrichmedia, has transformed poststone.com from a web site that was difficult to navigate and update into a very clean, well-organized news hub that presents a variety of media (articles, interviews, videos) in a clear and logical manner. He is very creative and collaborative and comes up with elegant and cost-effective solutions to problems. I've found him to be very professional and enjoyable to work with."

search engine optimization

In order to bring in business, your web site needs to be picked up by search engines, most notably, Google. We help to optimize your site’s copy (text) and other elements and provide suggestions and guidance on how to get your site ranked highly by search engines so that it attracts as many potential clients as possible.

web copywriting

The copy (text) for your web site is the most important aspect in determining whether a person will take the action you want when they arrive at your site. Research shows that you only have a few seconds to attract the attention of your visitors. While it’s important to have a visually pleasing and professional site, if your copy does not grab their interest and keep it, you have wasted your time and energy. nrichmedia has teamed up with Juliet Austin, who will help you write compelling copy, provide reviews of your written drafts, or, if you prefer, write your copy for you.

web site promotion and marketing

There is no point having a web site unless you also know how to drive traffic to it. nrichmedia and Juliet Austin will help you develop and implement a plan for marketing your site both on- and offline. While there are numerous ways to promote your web site, we assist you in choosing and implementing the strategies that are best suited to you and your business, helping you get the best results possible.

green web hosting

nrichmedia is pleased to be offering green web hosting services. Our standard package includes 200MB of disk space (usually more than most small to medium sized businesses require), email and webmail accounts, web statistics, and more.

What makes our web hosting green?

1. Our hosting is shared on powerful, energy efficient servers so the amount of electricity we use is minimized. We maintain our own dedicated environment within these servers and have full control over performance and security.
2. The electricity used by the servers comes from hydropower, which, although not ideal, is one of the more environmentally friendly means of power generation.
3. We’ve purchased wind power certificates to offset the amount of electricity that we do use. Wind power is, of course, a natural, clean, and abundant energy source with little or no negative impact on the environment.

To sign up for or switch to nrichmedia’s green web hosting, please email sales@nrichmedia.com for information on pricing and getting started.

business card, rack card, and brochure design

Along with a professionally designed web site, business cards, rack cards, and brochures are still a big component of marketing your business. These printed materials are easy to present to people you meet or leave with other professionals for their clients. They can generate a lot of extra traffic to your web site and encourage potential clients to contact you directly. See a few examples of the printed materials we have designed in our online portfolio.

multimedia design

We create interactive CD-ROMs, PowerPoint presentations, online and printed newsletters, which educate, inform, and leave a lasting impression. Please visit our online portfolio to see a few ideas of the types of multimedia we can create for your business.

nrichmedia is located in Courtenay (in the Comox Valley, on Vancouver Island), British Columbia, Canada, and thinks and works globally! Thanks to the Internet, we're able to create web sites and other multimedia for clients all over the world. You can contact us by or by telephone, at 250.898.8795.
