The OakStand Retrofit Service will take your existing web site -- keep what you like, add new features, build browser-based site maintenaince tools, even reorganize your content and pages to be more intuitive.

In most cases, there's no need to redesign a web site from scratch just to make some necessary improvements. Even if you want a completely new graphical look to your site, we can often do that while retaining your existing page structure and other elements.

Thus, we can help you improve your site in a very affordable manner.

Keeping your site up-to-date is a challenging task--especially if you have to depend on a volunteer to do it.

We can provide easy-to-use site maintenaince tools that you access through your browser. Anyone who can use a word processer can then update your web site.

We have several Content Management Systems to choose from, depending upon the needs and complexity of your web site. These include the Open-Source Drupal,  Insite Creation for ASP.net, Site Dynamic for ASP sites, and a Custom OakStand CMS.

Many sites offer excellent, relevant information, but fall short in building a sense of "community" and encouraging participation and communication.

We can add a number of interactive features to enhance your site, and build "community":  Calendars, Discussion Forums, Blogs, RSS Feeds, Surveys, and Wiki's are examples.

Is your site "stale" or looking a bit dated? Does it load slowly due to large images? Need some animation to liven things up? Or does the site need a completely new "look and feel"?

Sites build a few years ago tended to use graphics heavily, while today's sites tend to use smaller, more sophisticated graphics.

As sites grow, they often "outgrow" the original structure and organization, so that it gets more difficult for users to find the information they want.

New search engines, navigation and menu tools now allow "drill-down" and other innovative ways to make your information easier to find.

Perhaps your site needs to be better organized -- new sections added, others deleted or merged.

One of OakStand's specialties is in site organization, so let us look at your current site and give you some ideas to think about.
