Cumberland Web Development was formed in 1996 in Memphis, Tennessee primarily for the purpose of helping small businesses use the Internet, especially the World Wide Web, to market their products or services. We do not build half-million dollar web sites for Fortune 500 companies. Our sole purpose is to help small businesses succeed on the web. Our staff has a combination of real world business experience and technical ability that we believe gives us a distinct advantage over other web design firms. We will register your domain name, design the web site, build the web site, do whatever programming is necessary, host the site, and market the site.
Web design is our core business.
We make sure we understand who the target audience is, what the web site should accomplish, what kind of technology the site should use, etc. Then we prepare a written proposal that explains in detail what we will do, how much it will cost, what we will require from the client, etc. If the client agrees with the proposal, he returns to us a signed copy. We also generally require a small retainer check. We then have the client inspect the design and tell us if she likes it, doesn't like it, or if there are any specific attributes that should be changed.
