Know the saying?
                               
    FIRST IMPRESSIONS
           CAN LAST A LIFETIME?

Well your web site is a lot like that too.

Tall Zebra offers the choice of either a completely custom skin, or the option of going with - or at least starting with, an already designed very professional looking skin.

In addition to software, the web site Snowcovered.com offers a vast collection of over 2,800 pre-designed skins.

Many people confuse an old-style HTML template with a 'Skin'. They are similiar in looks, however templates are very basic in structure and are simply loaded up to a site as is and left static on the page.

Skins on the other hand have to be much more dynamic, because they have to be able to easily stretch both in width and height for a multitude of functions, and be tested to preform well across multiple types of browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.

And first impressions are important, but attracting tons of your visitors to a great looking site is only the start. Once they get there they will be looking for the following things if you want them to stay there.

     ~  Is the site professional looking enough
         to trust this company?
     ~  Is it easy to navigate?
     ~  Are the colors and layout inviting
         instead of distracting?

When you click on the links on the right, you'll open up the web site Snowcovered.com in a new window. From there you'll be able to also browse multiple categories using the links on the left of the site. These Skins have already passed the test for the above questions and offer a wide variety of layout options.

If you like some of the pre-designed options, but want to add a personal touch, Tall Zebra can make alterations to the Skin such as changing colors to match your company logo, changing the size of the text, adding panes to it, or creating custom containers.

While we are happy to create one-of-a-kind Skins, many companies find that by choosing a pre-existing Skin on Snowcovered.com (from the DNN5 category), they can save a lot of money which they can simply pocket, or use towards having leading-edge software integrated into their site.

More details about this are on the Software Page of the Tall Zebra web site.
