Dayton, Ohio Website Design and Development

SpringHill Interactive Media is a Dayton, Ohio marketing firm focused on building spectacular websites for businesses, organizations, public agencies, and individuals throughout the Miami Valley and Ohio.  Through 14+ years of using our own interactive website to serve customers of our first brick-and-mortar business (starting in 1996), we learned hands-on how to do business online.  Now we specialize in building hard-working functional sites with interactive applications that allow our clients to better serve their customers and constituents.

We believe that a website should not only communicate information in attractive and entertaining ways, but it should also engage and connect users to each other, make it easier for organizational managers to learn and understand the needs of site users, and provide an infrastructure through which real business can be conducted online.

At the core of our work is an open-source content management system known as ‘Joomla!’.  As a content management system, it uses a database-driven process for storing and organizing content and employs a template-based front-end - thus creating a distinction between the site’s content and the site’s appearance.  This allows us to deliver a consistent and sophisticated look to the site that can be easily changed or updated without affecting the content or function of the site.  And vice versa, changes to the content or function of the site can be made with virtually no impact upon the look of the site.

With our easy-to-learn and easy-to-use administrative interface, site content can be updated and maintained by just about anyone, regardless of their technical aptitude.  No coding skills are necessary.  And because the system is built upon an open-source architecture maintained by an active community of contributors, the underlying software is not based upon proprietary secrets.  As a result, our site owners have the ability to maintain complete control and are not at the eternal mercy of contractors or consultants.  (However, if you prefer that we maintain your site for you, we’re happy to do that too.)

Multiple user access levels allow for flexible but controlled access and security, so access to particular content or to certain functions can be intentionally limited only to select groups of users.   And because there are literally millions of websites built upon our 'Joomla!' CMS platform, there is a small army of security experts testing and improving the software on a daily basis.  Our sites deliver a very high level of security.

And the availablity of thousands of software ‘extensions’ broadens the functionality of our sites to peform many specific tasks, including online stores, shopping carts, user forums, media galleries, event calendars, games, and much more.  Compatible software already exists for virtually any application, so implementation is typically inexpensive and does not require expensive programming hours to write code from scratch.  This makes it relatively easy to put our sites to work and to get down to business interacting with your customers and constituents!

So what can we do for you?  We can’t wait to find out.  Please contact us to get started on your great new website!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • So what exactly is ‘interactive media’?  In short, ‘interactive media’ is any form of communication that allows for active participation by the audience.

  • You’ve read about what we do, you’ve seen the backgrounds of our professional team members, and you’ve explored some of our other project sites.  This all looks great, but before you pull the trigger on your own project, you need to know how much is it going to cost to build a site for you, right?

  • Search engine optimization – often abbreviated as ‘SEO’ – refers to the steps that should be taken to make a website more easily and accurately indexed by search engines such as Google and Yahoo.  Making sure that your site is properly indexed by the search engines is important because search engines provide a free mechanism to direct interested visitors to your site.

  • There was a time not long ago (for some people, perhaps still today) when even making simple changes to a website required detailed coding skills.  And for most people who are already busy with the never-ending demands of running an organization, it was not worth the time and effort required to learn new and potentially-complicated coding skill sets.  So as a result, they were at the mercy of their consultants whenever they needed to update their website content.  And it can be understandably frustrating when time-sensitive updates are delayed by the consultant’s busy schedule or when a small update results in a large invoice.

    It would be so much easier – and less expensive – if you could make some of these updates yourself.

    Well guess what…you can!  In fact, that is the whole point of the ‘Joomla!’ content management system.
