I already have all the business
we can handle -
a) It is a bad
assumption to believe that business will always continue at
the same level. Quite to the contrary, all businesses
will go through business cycles. You don't want to lead the
cycle to the downside when it occurs. By the time you
think you need advertising, it is often too late.
b) Supply and Demand. The more
demand, the more you can charge for your product or service
which translates to higher returns on your efforts, or
reduced hours of work with the same return. You never
have too much business, if your adjust.

How do you tell
the difference between a good web site design and a bad web
site design - A good web site should be immediately
appealing to the eye, easy to move around, and provide good
content. A good web site will have statistical data
that proves the public likes it. Sometimes, we see
owners who may not like what the public likes. We
often tell people, if you don't want to hear our candid
opinion on your current website, please don't ask.

Why do I need a
Web Site Development Company to maintain my site?
Can't I just build my own site and maintain it myself with
all the free web site software and tools?
a) In most cases, No. Only a small %
of people can build and maintain their own web site
professionally and effectively.
Even less can effectively obtain 1st pages of search
engines, almost no non-professional SEO can get 1st pages.
b) Most
people will make more money by concentrating on doing what
they do best rather then spending weeks or months getting
through the Internet learning curve.
c) High quality
web sites are not that easy to build and keep fresh. Your
site should be appealing, easy to navigate and is updated.
d)
We have regular requests by businesses of all
sizes to take over their web site and/or to finish
construction, then maintain it. Most web designers and
developers do not want to take over someone else's problems
or convert their tools to their own. It can be done,
but sometimes it may cost as much as a new site.
-
What is the best
way to market a web site -
The best way is through SEO
(organic search engine optimization). Pay Per Click
may also be appropriate in certain circumstances.
Also, your web site address should be provided wherever
there is a communication: e-mail signature line, phone
answering machines, advertising materials, business cards,
outside signage, on recorded messages, letters, forms,
envelopes, etc.
-
Do Search
Engines work? -
Absolutely,
but keep realistic expectations. The Internet is a big
place with constantly changing rules. Top listings
with major search engines is a never ending battle. We
believe that 1st page listings with good products/services
with a quality website will deliver more bang for the buck
then any other marketing method today. You have to
have a good SEO company promoting your website on an
on-going basis. We expect to increase your business by 25
to 50%, but more in many cases.
-
How long does
it take for a Search Engines to list my site and get 1st
pages? - There are no guarantees and times will vary
from search engine to search engine. It depends upon
the industry as well and the amount of competition. We
have seen indexing and positions obtained in 30 to 60 days
sometimes while others have take 60 to 120 days or a little
longer in rare cases.
-
Why are
back-up files important? - It is absolutely necessary to
have back-up copies of your websites. We keep 2
back-ups, one on-site, and one off-site in addition to the
live site on a 3rd party server. No matter what anyone
tells you, you can lose your main systems including those on
a 3rd party server even if they claim to have back-up
servers. You have to be prepared to move everything
quickly if dire circumstances occur.
-
Can Websites that are All Pictures be
Optimized? - The short answer is NO.
There are websites that are being built with pictures and
almost no Text or pictures of
TEXT. Typically, if you can't paint over the
text and highlight it, it is not text, or if you can right
click on it and it gives you as save as, it is not text.
There are some methods to work with these issues, but in the
long-run, it is usually more cost-effective and effective to
build it SEO friendly with excellent content. Content
is king right now and that requires excellent text with good
information.
