Web Development on a Stick
Lost the spring in its step? Is it too pooped to pucker? Doesn't greet you at the door? Time to Get Boyinked!
More than just a funny business name - Boyink Interactive is a small internet consulting and development company located in West Michigan, USA. My name is Michael Boyink (see the connection?) and I’ve been around as Boyink Interactive since 2002.
I have happy bouncing clients as small as one person and as large as Fortune 500 companies. I’ve worked on projects of all sizes - from developing globalization strategies for multinational companies to websites consisting of a few lovingly handcoded pages.
I’d love to talk to you about how your business or project can get back on the rebound.
Learn more about me, view my portfolio, read my ramblings over on the weblog, or throw caution to the wind and just contact me all willy-nilly like.
Consulting
Yes -- "Consulting" is a weasel word with different meanings for different people. For Boyink Interactive, a consulting gig is typically a larger project with a number of people and companies all involved in creating a web-based marketing strategy or application for an end client and where I'm more involved in the "discovery and design" phases than the "development" phase. The services I typically provide on these projects include:- Stakeholder and End-User Research
- Functional Specification Development
- Internet Strategy Development
- Information Architecture
- Content Management Requirements and Workflow Development
- Branding Requirements
- Wireframe Development
- Implementation Planning
- User Training
- ExpressionEngine Consulting and Training
Development
Like a convertible on a sunny fall day, some things just are meant to go together. For Boyink Interactive, that means not just consulting but also development. Just like you'd prefer to hire an architect who has actually had to build what she has drawn, you'd prefer to hire someone who can not only consult you in all things technical, but who then can sit down and build a solution for you as well. As a web developer, Boyink Interactive specializes in websites that are:- Built with the goal of building your business.
- Flexible to accommodate your needs, your content, your users.
- Updateable by you.
- Chock-full of cool features like podcasts, photo galleries, weblogs, discussion forms and mailing lists. Or not.
- Implemented in a naturally search-engine-friendly manner.
- Based on 3rd party Content Management Applications for your peace of mind.
Boyink Interactive specializes in developing websites based on ExpressionEngine, and is a charter member of the ExpressionEngine Professionals Network.
Featured Client - Christ Memorial Church
"The web design process for a church is a stressful one... many people who each have a different idea of the target audience, the proper scope, the central message, and more. The challenge is to balance those expectations, and yet not create a site that seeks to please all and ends up pleasing none. Mike was tremendously helpful in patiently coaching us through these tensions. With his help, we created a site that met our expectations and gave us room to grow. All this within our modest budget."
Dan Hekman, Local and Global Mission Director
