Business Owners & Managers: Be Careful Purchasing Web Design Services...
(It is very, very disappointing to have to say the following. But it must be said, before you end up like some of our other clients - businesses who already paid someone to design a site, then later came to us to build a new one once they realized it wasn't accomplishing anything. Brace yourself...!)
Out of respect for your money, please understand that many web designers honestly don't have a clue how search engines work, how people think, how businesses operate, nor the purpose of a web site. They don't understand research and testing, and they don't know anything about marketing, advertising, or sales. Basically, in Peterborough, anyone who has taken a Flash course and learned some HTML will tell you they are a "web designer". But that isn't web design. That's like learning how to use a Band-Aid, then telling everyone you're a doctor. Don't fall for it.
There are also some web designers in Peterborough saying they do SEO (search engine optimization) when in fact they are using techniques that may get your site banned from Google, Yahoo, and other search engines. Some are using techniques that stopped mattering years ago, and some are using techniques that never did matter, but were misinformation and gossip spread within the web design industry. A few don't seem to even be trying, yet still advertise SEO services.
Now, the strange thing is these folks may not all be trying to rip you off. You wouldn't believe the outdated information that local colleges are teaching to students. Students are learning amazing graphic design skills, but aren't being taught proper web design, even in courses labelled as such. There's a lot of terrific graphic design floating around in cyberspace unappreciated, because students aren't being taught what they really need to know. It's incredibly unfortunate.
And then there's the horrible spelling, grammar, and lack of sales focus of most sites. Business web sites are marketing tools, just like flyers, newspaper ads, or tv commercials, but are almost never designed from that point of view. We've got you covered.
We build web sites based on how the internet really works, and how people really behave. And we design them to rank in the top 10 (and often the top 5) search results.
Search engine optimization is a constantly changing art and science. The way things were 6 months or a year ago has nothing to do with today. It takes effort to stay on top.
Companies normally charge thousands just for the Search Engine Optimization we throw in for free.
We offer incredible prices on 100% custom web design, and don't upsell you to buy SEO services. There's no point making a site that isn't designed for both search engines and customers to instantly understand, and that's the guiding principle of everything we do.
You don't need to spend a fortune for effective, functional web design, and we'll prove it. A properly built site will save you both the embarassment of a site no one can find, and the ongoing expense of having to advertise it. In fact the smaller your budget the more important it is for you to contact us before doing anything.
We've been doing this for over 10 years, so put our expertise to work for your business. Our prices are simple and guaranteed, and links to a few of the sites we've built are found below. Drop us a line if you have any questions about web design, or want some free marketing advice about your next project.
