First, ask yourself "Why am I building or updating my website and what should I expect this website to do for me?" Honestly, some companies do NOT need a web site. Others need only a simple website or maybe a Facebook page. A rare few will be able to justify the time and expense of a "bells & whistles" web site. Be sure you know exactly what results you want from your online exposure. Perhaps you need a web site to keep up with the competition. If you want to attract new customers, such a website can be created specifically to filter out bad fits while securing your ideal business customers. A well designed website will be able to act as a geographic filter or even to screen applicants, vendors or new customers. E-Commerce is another way to go, but be ready to deal with the related issues of inventory, packaging shipping, customer service and accounting.

SEO is an overused term. Mostly SEO is mentioned by salespeople with a limited understanding of how optimization of traffic is accomplished. The question that many fail to ask is what kind of traffic do we want on our web site and what exactly what do we want the website visitors to do once they get to the website. What time of day do your customers search for you? What days of the week are less valuable for you to get web exposure. Do you want website visitors to call your company on the phone, make a purchase or donation online, fill out a contact form or stop into your place of business in person? If these questions are not answered you will be able to brag about increased web traffic but the spike in sales may not follow. We make sure your website SEO and/or advertising is done correctly.
