Web Site Design

RKN Studio can create any Website to meet your needs … from a very simple design to a complicated, graphic-heavy, e-commerce platform. We specialize in blogs that create a presence for your business online and allow you to engage your online community in value-laden dialogue.

Because each Website or blog is unique and requires very personal attention, we typically like to have a couple of conversations where we can come up with a strong conceptual foundation on which to build our design. Once we’ve had a couple of discussions to make sure we are on the same page, you will receive an estimate of what your new site will entail, both price and time-wise.

Joomla

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. The content management system allows you to keep track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of.

A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla one of the most popular Web site softwares available.

WordPress

WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards and usability. More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work WITH your blogging software, not against it. WordPress started as a basic blogging system, but evolved to be used as full content management system through thousands of plugins, widgets, and themes. WordPress is limited only by your imagination.

RKN Studio is one of the few companies in Santa Clarita that offers WordPress blog design packages for a VERY affordable price.  We have years of hands-on experience building and maintaining WordPress blogs, and we have used wheresmydamnanswer.com as a test case for many of our new development tools.

Graphic Design

RKN Studio works with its clients on graphic design projects, ranging from the initial website and logo concept to print design such as business cards, letterhead, window clings, car magnets and more. RKN Studio also has great relationships with vendors who help their customers with affordable quality printing.

E-Commerce

In today’s economy, the pace of business is fast, and that of ebusiness is even faster.  Electronic commerce (also referred to as ecommerce) is a set of defined commercial processes to create an easy streamlined online business transaction. Ecommerce is used worldwide and for the most part, it is set up in a specific way that is universal. An ecommerce store can also be termed as a virtual store showing an entire range of products through one website. According to market surveys, the total profit earned through physical brick and mortar stores is lower than the overall revenue they have to make to sustain their existence. In difficult times of a global economic recession, more companies are experimenting with ecommerce stores for promotion of their products/services.

To both consumers and businesses, connectivity plays an important part as it is the key factor determining the whole business. From the business point of view, Ecommerce provides better connectivity for its potential customer as their respective website can be accessed virtually from anywhere through Internet. This way, more potential customers can get in touch with the company's business which eliminates the limits of location. From the customer standpoint, Ecommerce is much more convenient as they can browse through a whole website or catalog without hassle, compare prices between products, buying from another country and on top of that, they can do it while at home or at work, without any necessity to move a single inch from their chair.

Ecommerce proves to be more convenient as online trading has less red tape compared to traditional commerce method. In global market sense, the appearance of Ecommerce as a pioneer has opened up various windows of opportunities for a variety of other companies and investors.

RKN Studio believes that ecommerce will certainly continue to mature in the global market and eventually, it will become an essential business plan for a company in order to survive and stay competitive in the ever changing market.  We are very knowledgeable about how to help you best get your product/service into an ecommerce platform.
