Web Site Design & Development - How We're Different

It gets tiresome, expensive and slows you down - Having to submit requested website changes, even small ones, to your webmaster.

When you need to make a change - Showing off a new product, emphasizing some new service, marketing your latest accomplishment, its frustrating to have to send the information to someone else and wait for them to get around to posting it.

Starken understands and we'll help you do something about it!

Our websites are specifically designed to allow you great flexibility, if you wish, to update your own web content.

Updating can be performed using nothing more than your Internet web browser. The days where you need an expensive program to update your site are over!

We know that there are computers in the world that do not run on MS Windows^®and do not use Internet Explorer as their browser. Our web development tools allow viewing and updating from Windows^®, Mac^® and Linux^™computers.

As you examine the example websites below, do not view them as if this were a beauty contest. We're not here to just win prizes; We're here to provide you with a great tool to share information in an easy, meaningful and cost-effective way.

Also note that, where appropriate, Starken helps our clients implement audio-visual methods of communication. From movies, to slideshows, to PowerPoint^® presentations, Starken can help you communicate in a variety of ways.

First Presbyterian Church of Marion

First Presbyterian Church, like so many others, desired a way to present a message that’s as timeless and relevant today as ever. This message, along with the listing of church functions, dates, times and activities, needs to be constantly updated to remain current and fresh or it loses the interest of parishioners and prospects alike. This site is a constant work in process, allowing designated individuals to keep the content current but still allowing for centralized individuals to review posted content before it appears on the website. Future plans include a restricted access portal where only church committee members can access minutes and hold private discussions, a private church photo directory that can be updated instantly and volunteer sign up pages, allowing the members to easily offer their services and know when they should participate...
