Did you know...

Google uses over 200 criteria to decide...

...how useful a site is?
...how credible a site is?
...how trustworthy a site is?
...if it's better than other sites?
and
...what order to list sites in searches?

.

But they won't reveal what those criteria are....

That's why our 10 years of experience & testing gives you the advantage.

Because we have that inside information.

     Two secret weapons that combine psychology, lots of research, and ten years of success.

     It's fun to build great looking professional web sites for small businesses and get them ranked higher in searches than their competitors. It's common knowledge how critical it is to be on the first page of search results (the "top-10"), and how people almost never click past that first page.

     In today's world every business needs a web site, we all know that. But you don't want just any old thing - you want one that customers will find when looking for what you sell, right? (...Unless you plan to spend a fortune on TV commercials or something, then you can get your neighbor's kid to build you a decent site for $100.)

     A top-ranking web site saves you a ton of money over the long term because you don't need to keep spending money for people to know it exists. Of course all your other advertising (flyers, newspaper ads, etc.) will direct visitors to your site, but there won't be an ongoing investment necessary just to make it visible.

     It may not matter to big companies with bottomless pockets, but small businesses get huge benefits from web design done properly up front, that can out-rank the competition and bring you customers.

If you have a real business that requires a top-ranking site that customers will find on Google & Bing, send us an email!

     A web site is generally the core element of your advertising, and can be updated and modified for essentially no cost once built. A well designed site can advertise products and services, attract investors, vendors, or partners, and inform customers and prospects about almost anything. It tells customers where you are located, your hours of operation, and how to get in contact with you. It gives customers a way to learn more about you, with no pressure, 24 hours a day.

Owners & Managers: Be Careful Hiring A Web Designer...

     (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, 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 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 built from that perspective. We've got you covered.

     We build web sites based on how the internet really works, and how humans 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.

Other companies charge thousands just for the Search Engine Optimization we give you 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 built 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 take advantage of our expertise. 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.

Here's what we do:

   1) Web design
     We create 100% original, custom web sites from scratch. This includes custom graphic design, photography, video, audio, and whatever else might make sense for you. We'll register your name and get you online fast.
     We do NOT use cheap templates or do-it-yourself design tools like FrontPage, GoLive, Dreamweaver, WordPress, Joomla, iWeb, Sitebuilder, or anything else. Beware "web designers" who tell you they can build a web site, but then turn around and use software that spits out the site for them! What a waste of money, you could do that yourself.
     We really build you a completely custom, genuine web site, designed specifically for you, your business, and your customers, that is programmed properly and looks like no other. A few samples are to the left.
     Most important, we make sure your web site is actually found in searches, and isn't lost in the sea of garbage known as the world wide web. We can update your site whenever you'd like, and keep it current as the web itself changes.

   2) Web site hosting
     For a small monthly fee we can host and maintain your site for you. Having your site hosted by a big company like Trytel or Nexicom can lead to headaches trying to get changes made or mistakes fixed (we've heard plenty of stories). Despite what they'd like you to believe, it isn't rocket science, and there's no excuse for such poor service.
     Hosting your site in-house is the ultimate convenience, because it gives us 24/7 access for doing updates and monitoring traffic to your site. We still host every site we've ever built, with only one exception (we built it then gave it to a friend of the owner to host).
     It's also crucial for top-ranking success that we are able to regularly update some back-end files, which is impossible when someone else is hosting your site.

   3) Logo design
     We can create a unique logo for your company, product, or project. A surprising number of business owners and managers don't understand the importance of having a distinct logo. A good logo makes your company more recognizable, more professional, and is extremely important to every piece of advertising. Considerable attention is given to creating the perfect logo to represent all that you are and all that you offer.

   4) Photography
     If you need any kind of photography give us a call. We can take great commercial or personal photos for you, edit and manipulate photos you already have, or arrange a full-blown photo shoot of people, products, and places. After the initial photography session(s) we will edit (brighten, crop, treat, etc.) your photos as necessary or desired. We can also make photo or slideshow CDs or DVDs for you, or we could put your pictures up on a web page. See sample photos on the Prices page.
