Website Design Solutions

The time to develop a website varies greatly with your expectations of the final product. A basic site can be built and released in as little as 2-4 weeks. Additions like custom design, content creation, custom imagery, or custom functionality will all add to the time required.

Typical sites with custom design, and moderate custom functionality — along with hosting and server configuration — take around 10-12 weeks to complete.

Here is one small detail that can make all the difference. Most overruns in schedule we encounter are caused by one single factor… the client. If there are items needed by your developers, the best way to maintain a schedule is for you to be prompt and prepared!

Many ‘web-builder’ services online offer reasonable features for an attractive price – but there are always limitations.

An audit of your website (we’ll do this for you free of charge) will often narrow down what could be bringing down your website’s rank & mdash, whether it is something on-page, off-page or both. It could also be something technical. Here are a few hacks that will help you boost your ranking.

You could also spy on your competitors to see what they are doing. Maybe they are doing something that you should be doing too.

When it’s time to build a new website, expect to do some homework! When you engage with a web developer, ask yourself these three questions:

• What do you expect from the site – is it a place to hang your hat, or do you hope to promote a business or cause?
• Do you want to sell products on the site, or simply use the site to support the sale of your goods and services?
• Do you need assistance to brand your site or business, and do you have logos and images that define you or your product(s)?

Website updates are critical for the long term value of your site. Changes to the search engines are frequent and web technology changes can make your site appear out-of-date.  We recommend that design elements be updated every 12 – 18  months to keep your website looking fresh and updates to your content should occur on a monthly basis to keep Google happy!

Content management systems (a CMS) provide a set of tools that help you manage, maintain, and update the content on your site.

Since search engines value current content and frequent updates, a CMS allows you to make changes without having to engage a programmer or designer to add pages, addresses or phone numbers.

You don’t need to have a CMS to make these changes, but if you aren’t adept at learning computer languages, or want to – a CMS puts the power in your hands.

There are many options for sites that focus on selling a product or service. If you have a large inventory of items, and great variation within those products, then a custom solution might be reasonable.

If instead, you have a small number of products, and they are typically sold one at a time – there are simple additions for many CMS solutions that can direct payments through a processor like PayPal.
