Nothing matters more than a first impression, and since a web site is your corporate identity on the web, it is important that this dynamic first impression holds the visitor's attention and accomplishes your goals.

Our Web Philosophy

Anyone can design a web page just like anyone can paint a picture.  However, there is a reason why some web sites look better and function better than others. If you found 2 Web sites on the Internet which contained the same information, and Site #1 took 4 minutes to load and the other took 20 seconds, which one would you be more likely to visit? Designing web pages with hi-color images that are small enough in file size to be viewed quickly, even on dial-up modems, can often be the key to properly promoting your product on the Internet.

We approach every website with only the client's needs in mind, making sure the message is clear, concise, unique, and effective. The design must reflect and brand the image of the client. We guarantee an effective, professional website design

Web Design Tips

So, you're ready to bring your business to the Internet. It's time to create your online presence — your Web address, your corporate e-mail address, your business Web site; in other words, your marketing face in the online world.
Lots of businesses have walked this path already. Here are 10 common mistakes many companies have made, but that you can avoid with using Internet Marketing Expert.

No-Name Nobody's: Many small businesses choose to set up shop in the online world with a Web site name or URL on Geocities, Angelfire, Tripod or MSN, rather than having their own Web address. Which company would you feel more comfortable buying from — www.members.tripod.com/loudinismagicshop or www.loudini.com? (The latter is a real Web site, specializing in magic accessories.) I don't think I'm the only online shopper who feels reassured by "real" business Web addresses. The same is true for e-mail addresses. If you are running a small business, it's a great idea to set up an e-mail address that uses your business Web address. When you send messages to potential clients, to your bank or to suppliers, joesmith@coffeespark.com (not a real site) looks far more professional than joesmith@aol.com. Bypass deadly sin No. 1: Make your Web presence a professional one by finding a good Web address for your business and using it for both your Web site and business e-mail.

Small Business Web Site Design

Do you think that just because you are a small business or entrepreneur, you have no need for a web site? Think again!  Having online presence is a must in today's digital world. Whether you are an at-home entrepreneur, small or large business, non-profit or for-profit, your business will benefit from a web site. 

A web site can list information about routine inquiries or product specifics, decreasing the need to answer the same questions over and over. What if your company's information changes often, such as a calendar or events page? Having a web site where people can look to for updated information is a plus.  Wouldn't it be great to tell a prospective customer that your current catalog or brochure is downloadable from your web page, eliminating the need to send it regular mail, spend money on postage, and possibly lose a client because they found something else quicker...on a competitor's web site? Not only is having a web site a cost effective advertising and marketing tool, it also has a great return on investment. 

We can handle every aspect of your web presence, including customizing the web template, registering the domain name, finding a web host, setting up e-mail accounts, submitting your web site to search engines, and maintaining your site. Our web sites load fast, use optimized images, and are search engine friendly. 

How Much Does a Web Site Cost?

Perhaps the most frequently asked question of web designers, it is usually the hardest to answer.  Determining the cost of a web site has many factors, such as number of pages, number of graphics, and complexity.  A basic brochure site consisting of three pages will obviously cost less than a 50-page eCommerce site.  We think you will be surprised at how inexpensive creating a web site can be and how it can fit any budget.

What is Web Hosting?

To have a Web site on the Internet you first need to have a Web server. Unfortunately, owning a Web server can be very costly and requires technical expertise that most businesses don't have. This is where Web Hosts come in. Web hosting companies provide the equipment and other technical resources that you need without the headaches that come when you have to do it yourself.

Think of a Web Host as the landlord of building. A landlord rents out storefronts to various businesses. Each business decorates and runs their store differently, and doesn't worry about the maintenance of the building. In a similar way a Web Host rents out space on a Web server, (or entire Web servers), to various businesses. Each business builds their own Web site and never has to worry about the maintenance of their Web server.

In other words, the Web Host provides the place on the Internet where your Web site lives. It's a lot cheaper than buying you own server, and you don't have to hire the technical staff to take care of it.
