Panmedia is a boutique agency and web bureau company located in Kingston, [[Directory:Jamaica|Jamaica]] with special interests in new media [[marketing]], [[advertising]] and communications.
We develop for clients highly effective strategies and messages for informing [[target groups]]. We can identify the critical target audiences and ensure a deep understanding of the strength of client resources, the depth of knowledge and experience of their team, and the framework in which they operate.

Our competitive edge comes from our close personal service (top down not down top), a wide palette of skill sets from internal and external professionals, our broad outlook and our out of the box thinking.

== Web Tools ==
The majority of web sites developed by Panmedia are done using [[Drupal]], we also use the [[Django]] [[web framework]] when possible. As with most [[web development]] the tools and platform we use will vary depending on the developer but there are some common ones. For design we use tools from the [[Adobe]] Suits of products: [[Photoshop]], [[Illustrator]], etc. At least one person uses [[Dreamweaver]] on a regular basis but most other editing is done in either the [[e-text editor]], [[ViM]] or [[Kate]].
The [[operating systems]] used on a daily basis include [[OS X]], [[Windows]] [[(XP]] and [[Vista)]] and [[Linux]]. However, our hosting platform is strictly [[Linux]].
[[Programming Language]]
Since [[Drupal]] is written in [[PHP]] that is the language that is used on daily basis but [[Python]] is also utilized when possible.
As part of our development process we use [[Basecamp]] as a collaboration tool. While we host our own email and use most of the tools offered by [[Google Apps]] such as the calendar and documents.
== Web Developer practices used ==
Panmedia’s site design methodology ensures minimal load times for all pages. [[CSS]] based layouts are used to reduce page sizes and enhance the overall responsiveness of the site. Large graphics are avoided unless essential for conveying important information or key messages. All images are optimized for the web [[multimedia]], technologies like [[Flash]] are only used in places where we believe they may enhance the overall user experience.
Standards compliant code is used enhance [[search engine]] friendliness, improve accessibility and ensure cross-browser compatibility. Where appropriate, [[AJAX]] is used to enhance the site’s perceived responsiveness and to allow the wealth of information available on the site to be accessed in an intuitive, unobtrusive manner.
