CUSTOM WEB DESIGN

A custom website is vital to every business in today's market. It adds legitimacy to a brick and mortar business, gives the exposure you seek and creates a touch base for your clients. People no longer pick up the Yellow Pages book. Instead we all use Google, Yahoo and Bing to locate businesses and services no business can afford to be without a website.

Using free websites or template sites don't allow the optimization needed for today's market. It's all about keywords. From your domain name through your page titles and page content you need a cohesive strategy. Slow loading images are a must. People leave sites which do not load quickly. These are some of the reasons a professional web designer is needed. With your website factoring into your business plan you need it properly structured from both the code to the visual your visitors will see.

Your website needs to be tailored specifically to your business with branding between your business and your website to give you a solid, recognizable presence. A custom web design stands above the rest.

"Working with Brenda to set up our website has been a fantastic experience. Not only was she open to suggestions and ideas that we had but she also gave us a lot of valuable input and insights into
what we needed for our site. We will be recommending her to anyone we know who
is going to be developing a website." —AuntieAnniesStuff

Search engine optimization is vital and included with each custom website.

It can't be stressed enough to include optimization for each website in order to achieve the best search engine results and ranking. Since much of this can be done as the website is created Brenda really digs to find keywords to make your site competitive if you are not ready to commit to pay per click advertising (Adwords on Google).

PayPal is a cost effective way to add secure shopping to your site. It can be added for one item or a full inventory.

Linking. Incoming links are extremely important to website ranking. The more websites linking to your site - the higher you rank. This is time well spent, but can be too much for small business owners. In an effort to help overwhelmed business owners Brenda offers her clients a reduced rate of $30.00/hour to generate external links and listing your site in available directories to your business.
