Marketing the Site

Since the most basic (but often overlooked) web traffic building campaign should include promoting your web address through every means you already have in place. News paper ads, letter head, mailers, printed or otherwise  on your product packaging, in your voice mail messages, etc...

All will help you reach your prospects and customers and we can do it All.

The correct answer is ..........web page design.

........I know design is important, but why the most important?

Very simple. The layout and design of your site is the foundation.
Your site is a product. Through it customers get to know you and your products. If they don’t buy your site’s design and layout, they don’t buy anything at all.

Click the search button on your browser and enter in some keywords on the engine of your choice. Now click on the #1 result. Ask yourself: Am I going to stay here or am I going to press my BACK button and leave to look at the other results????????

How many sites do you go through before you find a site you will at least browse through? How often is the #1 ranked page, or a banner ad, or link you enter ever capture your interest? What is the reason for not being interested in a site even if it offers the product, service, or content which is the object of your search?

The fact is that 50% of the time the design of the front page
will invite or actually chases you away.

The marketing of a site must bring people to it....The front page must encourage them to stay. Design and content of the entire site must bring them back...Again...and....Again..... 

When Designing We Consider....

LOAD TIME........SCREEN APPEARANCE........NAVIGATION

JAVA......... PLUGINS.........AESTHETICS

LOAD TIME: How fast does the web site load? Is it taking too long? Will your average customer  wait forever for the page to load?  Maybe you need to fine tune your current site so that it loads faster We can evaluate your current web site.

SCREEN APPEARANCE: How does your site appear on various screen sizes? Remember you may have a 19 X 1024 X 768 resolution screen, but what screen size is your customer using?
Most people are still looking at web sites on a 14" monitor at 640 x 480 resolution.

We make sure your page can be viewed with minimal effort to scroll sideways
to read text and view images.

NAVIGATION: We make sure your site is easy to navigate so you and your customers won't get lost. This is especially true for large sites.
(And we make sure they always know they are on your site!)
People usually come to a site via the front page. They should be able to get from there
to the object of their search. Having accomplished their mission, they should then be able to browse other areas of the site with ease--
and possibly do some impulse shopping or window shopping at least.

JAVA, PLUGINS, ETC.

Remember that over half the browsers in use today are not the latest from
Netscape, Microsoft, or AOL. This is changing rapidly, however, until it does
we suggest to go easy on things like Java Script, Java Applets and DHTML unless your customer base can view them.

Yes they do add to your site, but think about the average person
surfing with a NS 3.0 with a 133 Pentium and 32Mb or less of RAM.
Most people aren’t going to wait 3 minutes for your Java to load.
In some cases it will cause their browser to crash.
People are also not keen on loading plugins just to view your page.

If you must have that cool Java thing going on, we can also develop a page
that can be viewed with out it!

AESTHETICS

You may love your site, but will your customer? Try to avoid things like multiple fonts and full color backgrounds that look nice but make the page hard to read. It is important that your pages have a nice clean layout. A page is a virtual world extension of a business.

Your page should not be a showcase for designer talent.

A page that doesn’t necessarily dazzle the eyes and ears but sells your product is what you want.

Take a look at other successful pages in your industry. Imitate their professionalism.
If your page looks amateurish next to theirs, it’s time for a redesign.

By paying attention to detail, we can build a site that gives your company the look and feel of a Fortune 500 member--even if you are based in your garage.
But if your site gives the look and feel of someone working from their garage-- who has little--understanding of business, don’t expect to be overwhelmed with hits.
