Visualize
Visualization is the process of generating a visual aid or representation of one's ideas, thoughts, or goals, creating a 
schema of what one desires, to achieve the best possible
solution for the project.

Visualization through imagery has been an effective way of communication since the dawn of time, from scratches on a wall to post-its on the desk, visualization is the foundation in art, in life, and of course in development. This key component to the work flow allows the creator to pre-determine what will be required for any given project and begin pulling together the pieces for the construction process.
 
Visualization on the web is key, as a stunning graphics draw in your visitors and keep them browsing, forming a mental image they will remember. Further more when visualizing your concept you learn what content will be displayed on your site, the section which this content will be displayed and the presentation, this leads to how a person navigates your site, and the flow and form of all the components that lie within.
 
Once visualization is complete the sites begin to take on form and life
then you begin to Create!...

Creativity is a important process, discovery of new concepts or ideas, or intuitive new uses of the existing concepts, produced through artistic or imaginative effort

Creating a work of art takes patience and determination, the outcome of all work will shine with the effort and passion poured into teach piece, this is also true of building a elegant and functional website that is presented with creative flair. The creative process, begins after visualization.

In this stage you begin to flesh out all the sections and navigation required to access the wide variety of content you will be presenting. Conception of designs and building a solid site based on the brand will ensure continuity across all your media platforms. 

To ensure the websites functionality is simple and compliments the design one should always strive to build a strong foundation prior to the creative stage of which to build upon. It is then time to take the clients vision to the next level and create a website that not only supplies them with the tools needed to attract there fans or customers but also build a site that will Endure...

Endure
To endure is to continue a lasting existence despite the obstacles or hardship that are presented along the way, this truly shows the merit or worth of your identity in life or on the web.
 
Visualizing and creating the site is only one piece of the puzzle, to endure the vast array of information that is the worldwide web is the single biggest challenge in defining your brand, blog or company. 
 
With a solid back end interface that allows the clients to constantly and frequently update there web page information, allows the clients site to shine through the rabble of information available to the average browser. 
 
To stay on top you must provide constant up to date information and keep in constant communication with your visitors, fans, and clients. With technology advancing we now have the ability to give the client the power to survive with there online presence, giving them the chance to give there visitors the recognition they deserve.
 
With the lines of communication open, and a feed of new information regularly, your site will have what it takes to endure...

Drupal
Web sites designed for functionality and client updates. Drupal sites are ideal for clients who would like to edit there own content and keep there sites current. Whether you need a full site, or a current drupal installation themed, I can provide you with a solution. Get a site you can manage yourself, go Drupal.
 
HTML / CSS
Traditional websites , html /css is your everyday average website without a back end for client updates, these sites although cheaper to create does not allow the freedom to the client to update and make changes to there site without requiring knowledge in the language. These sites are ideal for clients who's needs only require static content that is rarely updated or changed. 
 
Flash & Hybrid
Either fully flash , or Hybrid flash with a CMS or HTML/CSS flash always livens up a site. Fully animated menues and transitions between content bring the user experience to a whole new level. 
 
Wordpress

Urban Fox Media, Strives to bring clients a web identity
they can be proud of. Bring your business, personal 
site or blog to the next level  

Over the past two years I have created website for a variety of clients and employers, with
experience not only in development but teaching as well. With an understanding of Drupal,
Blogger and Wordpress CMS, and a solid foundation in Flash and the adobe suite, I bring a 
clients identity to the forefront making for a memorable experience for there visitors. 

I create sites that allow the clients to fully realize there potential presence on the web, with a 
solid back end that the client themselves can edit and update all there content. With the ability
to publish your own content on a daily basis through a graphical user interface, you can really
connect with your fan or client base and begin building the relationships that will sustain your 
business or blog.
 
The web is an ever growing opportunity for all sorts of publication, advertising and outreach 
opportunities that many have yet to take advantage of. If you find your business needs a new 
outlet for promotion, to really reach the customers you wish to serve then look no further then
the world wide web. Working with the clients to ensure a solid brand is established that will 
bring back visitors time and again, is a tried and tested method to building a better business.
If you or your business are looking to make your online presence known then
