Before you purchase anything check us out and you will see for yourself why our customers say you get more from us than many others on the market today. Talk to our customers, we invite you to do so.

How to shop for website company:

When shopping around for a website company the very first thing you should do is go to this link W3C Validator and type in the web address for the website company you are considering to see if they are W3C compliant, should say PASS or NO ERRORS.

Also check the websites they have written under their portfolio to see if they code their customers sites as compliant.
Some companies will mass produce sites and use preform templates that can cause issues later down the road.
If there are no errors then you know they took to time for quality coding and you stand a better chance of getting a better site from a better company.
However if you see errors (especially alot of them) it tells you that they are coding hacks and they put out websites in volume like an assembly line and they do not worry about quality just quantity.
It also tells you that they probably use a site builder software or pre-purchased templates and just throw sites together as quickly as possible. If you want that kind of site go for it! But you will pay less from me and get a much better website.
It is important to understand that this applies to html and css driven websites only. PHP driven sites are a whole other ball game.
If you want a quality site that is built from scratch with quality in mind then go for a company such as us, we do not use site builder software, we hand write our sites from scratch so that we know the quality meets our high standards, also all of our sites are W3C Compliant (unless our customer wants something different). You can check any of our sites by clicking on the W3C logo on the site itself or simply type in our url using the W3C link provided above. Talk to perspective website companies get to know them and do they really seem to understand your needs? If they do not ask alot of questions and try to rush you into purchasing then back away from them. What is the turn around time for the site? An honest knowledgable web designer will be right up front with you. Nothing happens overnight, it will take time to get it just right for you. Do they have a site similar to the one your talking about or do they know a customer who does that you can talk to regarding the challenges. I would rather be honest with you and tell you the challenges you face and possibly loose the business than to just build you a site that I know has little to no chance of survival in the market. It is all about getting to know your needs and your vision.

In the end what you want is a company that will stick with you and be a partner. One that is not about making a fast buck, but one that will travel the road with you. I always run this business with one thing in mind "What happens to my customers happens to me".

We have a plan and a website, now what?:

Once you have established a workable game plan then you need to find your niche in the industry. Most everything that can be done has been done on the internet. Your success or failure is bound by your ability and the ability of your website to capture the attention of the masses and channel that attention into sales. That means that your message should be clear, crisp, focused and informative. What is the sence in getting 10,000 page views if your not capturing the right audience? That is the secret, to capture that percentage of the web searchers that are specifically seeking your kind of product or service, which will lead to more sales.



If you are proficient in the industry then talk about your knowledge. Talk about what sets you aside from the others. Stay focused on what makes you, your product or service outstanding. And by all means once you have made a sale, take care of those customers like they are gold, because they really are.
