First of all, Heather and Cory Buford are incredibly talented people who also happen to be extremely nice. Try to find that in the business world today. It's not easy.

My experience with them has been extraordinary. They go above and beyond to make sure their clients are not just satisfied, but thrilled with the finished product, be it a web design, flyer, or any of their numerous services.

If you're looking for that personalized service that is fast, and reasonably priced, then GateWay Marketing Online is the company for you.

Heather and Cory have been nothing short of amazing since I joined their team. The pair compliment each other and the magic they produce shows their clients that they have a keen eye when it comes to creativity and design. I'm also pleased with innovative suggestions from the duo, which put their clients in a business limelight for better exposure and higher sales.

I recommend GateWay Marketing Online to anyone who is looking for a design team who gives the one on one attention that is required in the corporate world.

As an author it’s essential to have a strong web presence. Unfortunately, I had the same old website for years. It was time for a change so I turned to GateWay. They gave my old, outdated website a sorely needed extreme makeover--and they did it fast! They were easy to work with, and explained technical terms in a way anyone can understand. I’m thrilled about my new site. I regularly receive compliments on its design. I recommend GateWay to anyone looking for a professional website at a good price!

Current Non-Profit Website Clients

I met Cory Buford through his future wife, Heather. I was talking to her about having a website for our local Tai Chi group. Heather suggested that I talk to Cory. I did and the rest is history. He took about three weeks to get the basics up and running for our group. It took another week to tweak it and get it the way we wanted it. Since then, when changes are needed, they usually are made within hours or at the most a day. I usually email Cory about the changes needed or with attachments to be put on the website. Cory emails me back that the changes were made and asks how they look. If further changes are needed; he makes them right away. He's always positive about the changes and looks to grow his web designing business.

While templates, like the one currently being used from allwebcodesign.com by Toledo Celtics, are a fast way to get started for around $45, they are also the fastest way to limit yourself in both customization and growth potential. With a little knowledge of external Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), anyone is able to manipulate the style of any element throughout their entire web site at will. When combined with a hosting service that supports Server Side Includes (SSI), the content of every page can be updated simultaneously by updating the single page they reference. In the sporting industry, where weekly or even daily updates are commonplace, keeping maintenance time and cost to a minimum must be your primary concern.

It is for this reason that GateWay Marketing Online has developed the "3D Web Design" paradigm for the design and development of frequently updated web sites. However, this alone is not enough. If your website does not load in an average of 8 to 12 seconds at 28.8Kbps then you are losing visitors! Why does our design concept load faster? It's simple, in this information age we design our sites to load from the top down and to load the content first to pique your visitor's interest. We further lay the content out in a form known as "Fluid" or "Liquid" that will resize and reshape to your visitors many browser, resolution, and window resizing options. Contact us now to get the most from your website!

To simplify each page, we converted the original javascript rollover in the navigation menu to a set of Cascading Style Sheet buttons consisting of link, hover, active, and visited states and dynamically loading them through a Server Side include; thereby removing a minimum of 7K/page for the JavaScript and 141K/page for the menu.

To further compensate for the larger image and expedite the loading of this page, we used Cascading Style Sheets to lay out the page in three rows that will load independently with the header being first and including only 8 files of a mere 39K in size. The table borders were left on intentionally so as to demonstrate the layout of the page and emphasize those areas better utilized by additional content.
