Chicago Web DesignWe build websites that engage visitors, communicate clearly, navigate easily and most importantly, elicit action. Best of all, every website we design is built on Pure Imagination's Content Management System which allows for complete control of all content, pages and navigation on your entire site from a secure web-based administrative interface.The Pure Imagination Content Management System was designed and developed from the ground up in-house. We built the system to allow our clients to have complete control of their website once the development phase is complete. Additionally, the system is based on open standards and the architecture was developed so that custom modules and development work that may be specific to a particular client's needs can be seamlessly integrated into the same back-end interface. The user interface was designed to be so simple and intuitive to use that anyone in any organization can use it with little to no training.

We have the technical capability to develop just about anything through a web browser. Whether you're looking for a simple website or a complex database driven web application, we can help you achieve the results you're looking for. No Project Too Small or Too Large No matter what size or scope your project is, we have a solution that's right for you. Here are just some of the types of things we develop:
When suggesting solutions to our clients or presenting a proposal, we never talk in technical jargon. We communicate the same way we build our sites - with simplicity and common sense. After all, you're looking for a solution and approach that is straightforward and does what you want it to do. Most of our clients don't want to know the technical details of how it's done, nor do they care. They want solutions that work, are secure and have rock solid reliability. That's what we build. If you are, by chance, a technical detail junky, don't worry. We can always provide you with every last technical detail about the work we do. Additionally, because our company offers a lot of capabilities other than web development, we aren't inclined to oversell you on features and inflated solutions that you probably don't need like other companies that only develop websites. As a comprehensive creative and technical services firm, we're looking at the big picture, developing a web solution that fits into your overall marketing and business goals, and doing so with economy and simplicity foremost. Content Management SystemIf you're not a control freak, once your site is built by us, you'll happily become one! All of the websites we create are developed on Pure Imagination's Content Management System. Our Content Management System gives our customers complete control over every aspect of their site's content in an extremely easy to use, intuitive web-based administrative interface. It's easy, but it's also very robust and powerful. And yes, we use the exact same Content Management System to manage and update content on this site.Built For Ease Of Use And Power At The Same Time Our Content Management System was developed by us in-house from the ground up. Although there are numerous commercial and open source CMS solutions available today, we found through our own research that most of them try to be all things to all people with a single standard offering, and unfortunately either ease of use or the ability to customize and expand was lacking - so we built our own solution. Our Content Management System is easier to use than most word processors, and anyone without absolutely any knowledge of website programming or development can use the Content Management System and instantly take control of the content of an entire website. Standard Modules And Custom Modules Living In Perfect Harmony No matter how much we tried to imagine what every customer would want in a Content Management System, we realized that customers will always have special custom requirements. So we built our Content Management System with an open framework to seamlessly integrate custom modules that we develop for clients along with the standard modules already designed into our Content Management System in the same easy to use administrative interface. It's truly the best of both worlds. Here are just a few of the key features of our Content Management System:

Flash Animation & Flash Application DevelopmentThe powerful and extensible Flash platform allows for just about any type of interactivity, multimedia integration and motion graphics to be integrated through a web page. It can also be used to facilitate a complete standalone application for use online or on the desktop. We are experts in flash development. Whether you require animation, video, multimedia or application development, we have the knowledge and talent to develop Flash based solutions that will impress.Flash Animation Development Flash animation and motion graphics elements can add richness, aesthetics and brand depth to any website. They can also incorporate alternative means of navigation that allow a storyline or message to be communicated in a controlled manner on a single web page. Our expertise in flash animation is unlimited. You dream it up (or let us dream it up) and we can produce it. Whether it's a website element, an entire flash based website or an online advertisement, our solutions will astound. Flash Application Development Take any online database driven web application or functionality, and it can be vastly improved with a Flash-based front-end that communicates with a database on the back-end. Real-time data flow with a back-end database is the biggest benefit Flash has over traditional server page query models. With standard web pages, data sent to or from the database to the web browser occurs only at a form submission or a page refresh. With Flash, data can be sent to and from the database in real-time. Additionally, a Flash front-end can incorporate much richer animations and user interface techniques allowing for a much easier to use and far more intuitive user experience. If you think your online application can benefit from conversion to or initial development in the Flash platform, contact us and we can discuss how we may be able to help you achieve an ideal solution that is cost effective. Online Application DevelopmentOften companies need solutions that may or may not be marketing related, but benefit from the reach and accessibility of the web to allow ease of use and sharing of data and information across the organization, partners or with customers. Whatever your particular need may be, we can create customized web-based applications that achieve your objectives and deliver an end-product that is easy to use, secure and more efficient than your current processes and work flow.Some examples of online applications that benefit from online migration include:
Web Database DevelopmentAs part of our overall web development capabilities, we have the expertise to develop any type of custom database solution for your business online. Every part of our standard web development infrastructure is powered by a database on the back-end. When customized solutions are necessary or customers have data integration, migration, synchronization or organization needs via the web, we can develop a solution that works efficiently and effectively.Some example applications of online database development include:
Online Advertising & Search MarketingYou've got a great website. Now what? Now it's time to bring targeted traffic to your site. With the number of online media outlets and search marketing opportunities growing daily, it's easier (and potentially more confusing) than ever to get lots and lots of traffic to your website.But wait. Lots and lots of traffic is not really what you want. Targeted traffic interested in purchasing your products and services is what you really want. You can easily spend lots of money getting lots of traffic with very little ROI if the traffic coming to your site is not particularly what you'd define as a good prospect. Let us show you the in's and out's of online advertising and search marketing and put together a strategy within your current budget that turns your website from a static brochure into a live lead generating machine. Just ask yourself how many more good leads can you afford to miss each month. Customers are searching for what you sell at this very moment. Give us a call and we can actually show you just how many leads you're missing right now. More importantly, we will show you how to get those leads to visit your site and convert them into new customers. Web HostingPure Imagination provides complete web hosting services for every site we develop. Almost all of our customers that we build websites for end up choosing us for hosting as well.

If any data center experiences a disruption for any reason, another datacenter picks up the load instantaneously.
