The web is based around links. Links that open doors to different pages in your website and links that open up your site to other sites. If you want users to follow the links on your site, you have to make them feel safe and confident in clicking the link. Let them know what to expect when they click on it.
The text used in a link is very important for usability, accessibility and search engine optimization. Link text should be descriptive, clear and concise. Read the rest of this entry »
If you decide that you want to host your website somewhere else, move your domain name to a different registrar, or take your current site to a new design company, can you? Does your current web design company or tech firm help you to do that?
Many web design and development companies force you to host with them by controlling your domain. Often clients who try to leave a company are not able to obtain physical files of their website or their data from their service provider. This prevents clients from switching their web hosting or taking their site to other developers. It prevents you from ultimately having true control and ownership of your online property! Sometimes when these unscrupulous companies go out of business, domains and site files are lost forever. Read the rest of this entry »

A question that often arises for small companies investing in a website is: why should I hire a professional web design company when I can get my sister’s, mother-in-law’s, friend’s kid who dabbles in html to create one for me for $200?
Just as you know your company better than your sister’s, mother-in-law’s, friend’s kid who dabbles in your field, so do professional web design companies. There is an abundance of constantly evolving knowledge and skill that goes into every step of creating a website. A professional company will have a team of specialists who devote their lives to the web and more importantly have the experience to know what will work best for your website.
Millions of people are interacting on the web all over the world, every day.
The internet has become a global community of social connections, niche information and group discussions. If you are an expert in your field or know enough to intelligently write about your subject, get your company name and website out there by getting involved in blogs, YouTube and social networking.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a set of practices that help consumers find you by improving your site’s visibility to search engines such as Google.
The days of people pulling out a phone book to find a local coffee shop are slowly diminishing. A survey by internet data firm comScore in 2007 found that 60 percent of consumers use the web as their first-line tool to search for local businesses. Therefore, not only should your company be on the web, but your website has to be visible to search engines, via SEO, so consumers can find you. Read the rest of this entry »
It feels like only yesterday that you invested a good amount of time and budget into creating your website, but is it time to do it again? Is your website still as effective as it was when it was first published?
Technology on the web is a constant evolution and if your site has not been updated in the last few years, you may be missing out on an opportunity to increase its value.
A redesign is not just updating the graphics and making your site look modern and beautiful. While up-to-date and professional looking design is an important part of a website, it also needs to have current code standards, be built with search engine optimization in mind, contain current interactive features, feature outstanding content and be well laid out so users can find what they need quickly.
