WEBSITE DESIGN

Your website strategy should be the foundation of your online investment, whether you are a start up, small business, medium sized business or a Fortune 500 company. A well researched and thought-out online strategy will clarify the potential opportunity for your business from the internet. Then, you can determine the right investment for the design and marketing of your website.

Unfortunately, website strategy is overlooked by website design and marketing companies because most of them are run either by an artist or a technician with absolutely no clue about strategy.

This is what an online strategy can do for you. You will know...

The number of searches for your products or services on the internet.
A real projection of the leads and sales to be generated from your website.
The difficulty and cost of getting your website on the search engine's top page using pay-per-click and/or search engine marketing. (Remember, you do not exist for your prospects if you are not found on the search engines when they are looking for your products or services online.)
Analysis of your competitor’s sites that are at the top of search engines.
A complete step-by-step plan for executing your strategy.

First impressions are as important online as they are offline. Visitors to your site will quickly determine whether there is any interest in clicking deeper into your site's pages, or away from it, based on its visual appeal.

Custom design means that the look and feel of the website is built from the ground up to project the image the client wants.

While it is possible to save money using pre-made templates, a serious business is almost always better off with a look that is both unique and tightly tailored to the requirements of the market. Custom web design sets your web presence apart from the crowd.

Different components of website design are as follows

Banner Design
Validating for Web Standards
Flash Template design
Writing the style sheets, java scripts in different files
Logo Design
Making the webpage look organized and easy to navigate
Image Selections
Utilizing the web space to the maximum extent
Content Arrangements

Ask yourself 3 simple questions...

Does your website make a good impression?

WEBSITE MARKETING - SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

Martin Design Company provides the perfect range of online marketing services that are designed to get more money and more customers to your business. We know how important visitors are to your website. We know that a flashy website is just a flashy website - to make money from it, you need traffic. And not any kind of traffic, TARGETED TRAFFIC!

Consider this point in the face of certain facts and figures regarding Web users:

Internet usage is continually growing, both in the US and worldwide.
Over eighty-five percent (85%) of Internet users use search engines to find new products or services on the Web. In fact, it's usually the first tool that new Internet users learn when navigating the Web.
Whether they're using the top search engines and directories (such as Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and AOL) or lesser-known listings, users tend to click on the top three links in search results; furthermore, they are unlikely to look at results not listed on the first page.
If a website site is properly promoted online, the result will be more than just increased traffic-- it will be better traffic.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of targeting keywords and phrases specific to your firm's services in efforts to achieve higher rankings in search engines (such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo). The objective of this marketing technique is for search engines to "find" your website based on these highly targeted keywords, and producing high rankings for these search terms.
