How Can I Use Audio on My Web Site?

One way of looking at the issue is to compare your website with television.  When was the last time you turned off the sound and simply watched the picture?  Do you know anyone else who watches a silent screen?  Probably not.  We exist in a multimedia culture, and a multimedia experience is not complete without sound.  It's that simple.  A few years ago, an argument could be made that large audio files would slow down the internet experience and drive visitors away.  But not today.  Higher connection speeds, faster computers and superior development technologies make delivery of high quality sound not only possible, but key to your site's success.

As a professional audio guy, I can imagine dozens of appropriate audio applications for almost any web site, but the real question is, "What makes sense to you?"  Perhaps your web activity reports show that visitors aren't staying on your site long enough to learn what you have to offer.  In a case like this, a professional audio introduction can help capture and hold your visitors´ attention.  Or maybe you have pages with lots of information your visitors need to read, and some relaxing background music (along with the option to control the volume) would make the experience more rewarding.  You may have amazing animations on your website, just begging for some audio punch to make them truly exciting.  Think about it.  Wander around this website.  Use your imagination and soon you´ll be wondering why it´s taken you so long to begin thinking about audio for your web site.

Why Not Just Buy a Microphone and Do It Myself?

With audio production, as with most things in business, it usually pays to use the services of a pro.  Audio production is very enjoyable, and if you have a serious interest in it I would encourage you to give it a try.  However, consider that your audio production will be an important element of your business image.  If a professional image matters to you, then at least allow a person or company with verifiable experience to give you a quote.

With over 20 years of professional audio production experience, a state-of-the-art digital recording studio and working relationships with some of the best voice talent in the country, we can provide audio programming that projects the professionalism most businesses require.  We also have been delivering audio via the internet for many years and know exactly what the medium requires to give your visitors a quality listening experience.

How Can Flash Applications Benefit My Company?

Flash is the most ubiquitous rich-media development tool on the planet today.  Developers love the flexibility and depth it offers for delivering a reliable interactive multimedia experience, both on the web and in other delivery formats, like business card CD´s.  Corporate end users like it because the product delivers high-impact, reliable content.  Plus, according to Adobe, 98.3% of internet users have the Flash player on their computers, so your potential internet audience consists of over 570 million computer users worldwide.

I Have Some Audio, But Need A Button or Player For It.  Can You Help?

Absolutely.  Once we complete your project, we'll post it on the internet for your review and approval.  If you are not happy with what we've produced for you, we´ll discuss your concerns and go back to the studio with those concerns in mind se we can get it right.  Your final payment is never due until your project is fully approved.  And if for some reason we cannot please you, even after trying to meet your needs, we´ll refund your deposit.

What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?

We accept American Express, Visa and Mastercard, as well as company or personal checks.  We will email you an invoice that can easily be paid online or you may mail us your check, if you prefer.  We require a 50% deposit to begin any project estimated at more than $300, and final payment is due prior to delivery of final productions.
