So, you are ready to move forward with a new website; a redesign, a start-up, maybe even a DIY website builder site (however, read this if you are opting for a website builder).
Congratulations! But before you start, here are some tips to educate you in choosing a web designer that matches your needs.
A good website looks nice and provides visitors with information, but a great website generates traffic and converts prospects to buyers.
Most people don’t know what they want or what they need when it comes to their website and don’t understand what search engine optimization (SEO) is or how it all works. I hear from a lot of people that they hired someone to do their website and are continually paying for SEO but they aren’t getting any new leads from their website, and they don’t know what has been done regarding SEO.
Your web site plays a huge role in your business’ success and the first crucial step is selecting the right company to design and develop your site. There are a lot of companies and freelancers that do web design and development, but just because someone knows how to develop a site, it doesn’t mean they know how to successfully drive traffic and market your site, nor does it make them experts in SEO.
We are a full-service marketing firm that specializes in web design, and I want to point out what sets us apart and why people choose to work with us:
All our work is done in-house
We are a small team, and all our work is done here in house. No outsourcing, you are in direct communication with the team building your site.
We want to get to know you so we can best market your business. One of my first questions is always, “what are your goals for your new website?” Simple yes, but the insight we gain from this leads us down the right path for you.
We custom build
We don’t use stock templates, we custom build to your specifications. This also means that we are able to code properly for search engine optimization (SEO) and build mobile responsive sites.
SEO is constantly changing and having a website custom built for you is like getting the latest model of car that is customized to your taste.
We build in WordPress
WordPress is a content management system, and we build on it because we feel it’s the most marketable platform out there. Likewise, it can be used to create a website in a cost-efficient manner while still providing ease and simplicity on the back end to you — making it very easy to manage.
Fun fact from ManageWP.com: 74 million sites out there are built on WordPress. That’s one site per every person living in Turkey.
We’re a full-service marketing company
We are not just a website development company, we are a full-service marketing company. We ask probing questions, because we want your website to match your business strategy and goals. We want to make you a website that performs for you and helps you maximize ROI as quickly as possible. This also means we understand the importance of great content and are highly skilled at content writing for SEO.
Self-sustainability
We want to create a site that works for your business. We don’t want to create static sites and we don’t want you to have to rely only on us when you need to update or change something on your site. Your website is the structure of your business, and we want you to be able to move things around as needed. Our goal is to give you all the tools you need to be able to take over managing and understand how to self-market.
We hold your hand
We do not expect you to know the technical components of web design, you be the expert in your business and we’ll be the experts in ours. We provide training and unlimited technical support so you will feel confident in how to manage and update your site.
