Websites often have fatal issues that simply cannot be fixed when built by a web designer in Santa Cruz.
The issues we see most often are compatibility problems with certain web browsers and slow page loading times.
Trying to repair an existing website can often cost more than simply building one correctly from the ground up.
To help you make an informed decision we analyze your current website and present you with a cost benefit analysis.
We are asked this question from time to time. Only in very rare circumstances would a build it yourself website be recommended. Free website builders are made available and often have free hosting as well. These builders typically make their money by putting ads on your website. Most of the pre-built templates from these sources allow you to change a color or add a photo in addition they are optimized for mobile devices. However, if the goal of your website is to rank in search engines and you have a larger project that is expected to drive business you are going to need to have full control over your site. How fast your website loads and displays is important. Having total control of where elements are locasted is essential for SEO.
A custom-built website gives you control over these factors, but a website-builder does not. Most website builders that do not run ads require a monthly payment. If you stop paying the monthly fee your website goes away. You are renting your website. You do not have access to the source code and cannot move your website. Being able to actually own your site, move it to any hosting company you choose and being able to pick your own web development company are just some of the ways custom built are more advantageous.
Planning, preparing, and executing a website takes time. Pages geared toward PPC Ads take time to develop correctly as well. Generally people are surprised how long it takes to do it right. Most projects take around 3 months while smaller ones can be completed in is as little as 6 weeks. Larger scale web development projects can run six months on the low end. It is critical to allow plenty of time and plan ahead.
It is essential that have at least one meeting with the developer or account executive before starting a web project. The larger the project the more meetings that will be required. This is built into the overall cost of the project. These meetings can be in person or remote but they are essential for your project to be successful.

Search engine optimization starts in the first meeting, long before code is written or designs laid out. The first steps of SEO start with proper organization and structure. We work with our clients on content development and produce high quality curated content that flows with your website’s structure. One of the most important pieces and is 'Technical SEO'. Code that is developed and deployed needs to meet W3C guidelines. We ensure every piece of code developed works as intended and looks great on all devices.
Basic website design principles have dramatic effects in the success of your project. The web design process can be the factor that determines if your site succeeds or not. The team you choose to work on your project must have a variety of skill sets and understand that importance of each.
