Our services
We know how the Web works and we try to make it a bit better.
Here, at porcupine colors we are real humans who care about you and your success. We know that if you and your website go well we will take the credits we deserve.
We love our work. That's good. We also perfom as professionals in every single stage of it. And that's better. We keep our promise and we will be honest with you from the very beginning until the end of our project. We ask the same from you too.
If we realize that a project is going to harm the level of our work we prefer not to take it at all. It happened before and we know it's going to happen again. Do you think this is not a professional apporach? We don't. Because we believe money is not the only factor of success.
In porcupine colors we undertake to design, develop and promote your website or your Web application. We are proud to make our promises real.

Web design
We design awesome websites.
Our websites are attractive and stand out because during the design phase we follow all the principles of good design: exceptional typography, optical equilibrium according to grid design, color harmony according to color theory, and graphic design depending on the needs.
We design not only beautiful websites, but websites which are simple and easy to be used as well. We develop your web identity around what is useful for your customers: your content. We don't like what amazes crowds and can't be used because we know it doesn't really help you.
Let's share with you a secret about good design. Do you know when a website is well designed? When each design element doesn't have to do with your personal taste. So if you see a website full of e.g. rounded rectangles, imagine the same page without the rounded rectangles. How do you like it now? Test this way the websites you like and you 'll discover a bunch of different things concerning good (and bad) design

Web standards
We follow Web standards for every project.
Would you buy a car without handbrek? No, because a handbreak is part of the standard equipment. Why would you have a website that doesn't respect Web standards?
Web standards will make your website accessible by all people and all devices (browsers, mobile phones, PDAs, iPhones κλπ). Your website will be easy to be updated and expanded as well. Oh and thanks to Web standards search engines will like them too, so they will be easier to be found.
We know so well Web standards that we are part of the teams that help them expand. Yiannis is the one and only (so far) Greek who participates in the International Liaison Group under WaSP. The ILG is a network of Web professionals who aim to promote Web standards and to help people and communities learn about the merits of standards.
Accessibility & Usability
We love websites which respect all visitors no matter thei physical condition.
Which means that we develop websites which are accessible by visually impaired visitors, people with kinetic disabilities or any kind of disability. Do you think it can't be done. Well, think again please.
And yes, our websites can be easily navigated and read. They are websites which promote several forms of communication and interactivity. We like to design usable and simple websites. We know you like it too.
Website management
Each one of us is special. Her website is special too.
We can install and help you with the content management of your website. According to your needs we will select the best possible CMS that will make your life easier.
However porcupine colors is the only Greek design & development agency that belongs to thePro Network of Expression Engine. Expression Engine is an ultra flexible, solid and expandable Content Management System. We are part of an exclusive group of the best Web developers around the globe. It's a priviledge. No?

Promotion & SEO
A website is good enough when people who belong in its target group visit it
There, we said it!
First we care to learn about the visitors you want to have. Then we design and develop your website in order to appeal to them. We measure the results and we fine-tune the way it works until you have a really successful website.
Our websites can be easily found by search engines because we highly optimize them according to your needs and the competition. All in all SEO is not rocket science. It is about the use of certain rules the proper way.
Google for example takes into account around 1000 parameteres before it ranks your website. We could never promise you you 'll be #1 in Google. That would be naive. However we can promise you we study all those possible parameters and according to our findings we can dramatically improve your authority in search engines.
By the way, if you have found this page after a search, it is no less than a proof of our work.
