About Oasis Interactive, LLC Naming company in Boise, United States
At Oasis Interactive we arent your typical website design company. We believe calling your web company should be a pleasure not something you dread! Phone calls should be returned promptly; updates shouldnt take months; costs shouldnt be a surprise and things should be explained up front in a way that makes sense to you.
Why hire a professional website design company over an amateur? There are many answers to that question but quality tops the list. The old adage ’You get what you pay for’ has never been more true than in the field of website design. Your website is the face of your company and it is imperative that it portrays your organization in the best possible light. A professional will follow industry standards and best practices. This will ensure that your website is easy for your clients to use and is an effective tool for marketing your business.
In 2006 the Oasis Interactive web design company was born. We named our company and created our online home at www.TheWebOasis.com to represent the Oasis in the desert of technology that we wanted our company to be. We are website designers and developers with a focus on integrity quality and customer service which has allowed us do what we love while in the process helping many Boise business owners increase their online success.

Our clients will tell you that we are honest communicative transparent and fair in all of our business practices. We even use a service contract to make sure our clients understand how we do business up front and to prevent surprises.

We pride ourselves on producing websites that are professional attractive and functional.

We make sure your website meets your needs while being unique and commanding the attention of its visitors. The result is professional website design that communicates your corporate message with clarity while yielding a high return on investment.
Unfortunately many companies in our industry have a reputation for billing clients much more than the initial quote. This usually happens because the vendor charges entirely by the hour and they dont spend enough time up-front assessing your needs based on your business goals before sending you a proposal.
We have literally heard dozens of horror stories about this exact scenario and thats the last thing we want our clients to experience. Business owners sometimes have unrealistic expectations about how much of an investment is required to develop and implement effective marketing tools that deliver true value.
Our approach to bidding on projects is to have a direct and honest conversation about your budget. If the allocated budget is inappropriate based on what youre trying to accomplish well let you know right away. Instead of charging entirely by the hour for every project we work diligently to assess your needs at the beginning of the conversation. We quote most projects using flat fees based on a rate sheet. When bidding on hourly work we are careful to very specifically articulate what will be included in our estimate and how many hours have been budgeted for the price quoted.
By doing business this way we set clear and reasonable expectations before beginning any work so our clients dont get taken advantage of.
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Snake River Region developed the Integrity Counts! award in 1997. Since then the organization has honored more than 507 companies in Boise and the surrounding area for their commitment to excellence ethical business practices and community involvement. Each year companies are nominated for the Integrity Counts! award by customers employees vendors and individuals in the community.
We had the privilege of being nominated in 2010 by a client and BBB employee. We then went through the process of submitting materials to demonstrate how we have shown integrity in our web design business dealings. An independent group of 12 judges reviewed the materials submitted by each organization to determine the award recipients. We were very honored to learn that we had been selected as a recipients of this coveted award. On October 29 2010 the award was accepted by owners Matt and Jade Stanley at the gala banquet at the NNU Brandt Center.
There are many ways to build websites but we prefer using a content management system (CMS). This is because it makes it easy for you to maintain your own website without needing to know any programming. If you need to make an update to your website you are empowered to do that without having to wait on us and without having to get a bill.
Out of all of the CMS available there are three open source systems that are in the top of their field. These are WordPress Joomla and Drupal. After having worked extensively with two of the three we chose WordPress because our clients liked it best. It is hands down the most intuitive and easy to use CMS we have seen and our number one choice for professional website design.
LONGEVITY: WordPress was created in 2003 and it continues to be actively maintained and improved every month by a global community of talented programmers.

Users who invest in SEO tend to get better faster results when using WordPress as their website platform compared to other systems.
