Oaks Design delivers real, sustainable Web significance -- client after client. Web design, website design, page design, graphic design, custom programming, flash animations, site marketing, and search engine optimization -- Oaks Design Philadelphia Pennsylvania

Our close, sustained connection to Web development has revealed certain truths to be self-evident:

People come first
Oaks|Design relentlessly pursues individuals with the finest personal and professional qualities and then provides a culture that insistently reveres these qualities. It is our experience that two or three superb developers are far more cost effective than a larger team of average or even good developers. As a consequence, Oaks|Design remains a small, admittedly elite organization that focuses on projects that are likely to benefit from these values.

A superior process requires a culture of communication
There was a time when software was created by lone developers working in relative isolation. Those days are over. The best software is created by intimate teams that communicate with clarity and openness. For example, team members employ reflective listening, particularly in their interactions with the client; this technique ensures that what the team member heard was, in fact, what the client said.

Superior solutions balance technical and human factors
Many successful companies, including Oaks|Design, understand technical issues such as scalability and encapsulation, and can deliver solutions that address these issues. However, human factors such as interface design, ergonomics, and aesthetics are often relegated to secondary consideration because they are seen as adding tangible cost while conferring intangible benefits. This perspective is simply incorrect. Humans are the primary actors in Web-based systems; solutions that ignore this reality do so at their peril. Oaks|Design is serious about technology and serious about human factors.

By leveraging techniques and approaches developed in the course of many endeavors, Oaks|Design can uphold each of these values without increasing project cost.

Finally, we do not strive to be what we are not. Our designs will never suit every need and aspiration. But, if you share our values and are seeking an exceptional Web solution, we invite you to contact us for further information.
