Web design

What sets 9world Studios apart?

Collaborative spirit

Your success is our success, and we work accordingly.

Artistic

A unique visual style helps your site stand out.

Attention to detail

Many web designers cut corners "behind the code." The problems created may not be immediately obvious, but they do undermine your site's power and flexibility.

Clear, direct communication

Speak with your designer at all points in the project. This eliminates the communication breakdown inherent with a large design team.

Accessible web sites

Assuring that your site works for users with PDA's, readers, or vision impairment. Your site will work across the range of browsers and computer equipment. (Accessibility is not just a good idea; it's often a legal requirement.)

Flexible web sites

Accessibility, W3C compliance, and clean code lead to flexibility. Sites become easier, quicker, and more cost effective to maintain and redesign. Your web site can grow with your business.

9world Studios...

Our name reflects an eclectic and holistic approach to the many facets of what we do.

Norse cosmology divides all that is into nine worlds, each with its own terrain, traits, and people:

• Álfheimr (Alfheim)- Elfland
• Svartálfheimr (Svartalheim)- home of the dark elves
• Niðavellir (Nidavellir)- fields of the Dwarves
• Ásgarðr (Asgard)- home of the Æsir, the famed family of gods that includes Odin, Thor and Balder
• Vanaheimr (Vanaheim)- home of the Vanir, a lesser known family of gods
• Miðgarðr (Midgard)- home of mankind
• Jötunheimr (Jotunheim)- home of the frost giants and the mountain giants
• Múspell (Muspell)- land of fire and home of the fire giants
• Útgarðr (Utgard)- another land of giants
• Niflheimr (Niflheim)- land of the dead
• Hel- land of those who die in basically any way other than battle

(Okay, that's eleven worlds. There is some debate on which are the nine.)
