Websites often have fatal issues that simply cannot be fixed when built by a web designer in Walnut Creek.

We are asked this question from time to time. Only in very rare circumstances would a build it yourself website be recommended. There are many website builders out there that allow you to create smaller website (just a few pages) and host it for a monthly fee. 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. If SEO is important to you and you expect to show up on the first page of google and attract new leads, having full control over your site is a must. Determining what elements are on your page and how they are loaded is vitally important. How fast your website loads is quickly becoming one of the more Significant parts of SEO.
The website builders on the marketing simply do not give you the total control you need. You need a professional web developer who has complete access to your custom built site to achieve success. 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. Custom built solutions do not allow you to own your site. You have the freedom to choose your web development company and move to any hosting company you like.
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.

On average larger web development projects easily go into the six month time frame.
An account executive should meet with you prior to the start of any graphic concepts or coding followed by several meetings during the life cycle depending on the size and scope of the project. These meetings can be in person or remote but they are essential for your project to be successful.
Avoid Web Designers. Web designers can be great at graphical content but more often than not do not have the necessary skills to properly build a website. It takes a village! As a general rule it takes more than one person to develop a website. It often takes a team of people with different expertise. We have in-house developers with different strengths. We believe the sum of the parts is greater then the whole. This allows us to design and deliver a robust solution to our clients!
The first step is to define a website's goal. Once this is done we break that down into macro goals for each section of a website and plan with purpose.
The next phase is where our designers work hand in hand with our developers to make sure every feature will perform as intended on your website. This is known and the design and development phase.
We keep the goal front and center. Each section of our clients websites is checked and re-checked. We look at things such as how fast it loads, branding guidelines, proper display on various screen sizes and more.
SEO starts before any code is written or designs developed. From the first meeting we have search engine optimization in mind and plan out proper structure and organization. Content development is something we help our clients with on an on-going basis. We make sure each article or page produced is high quality and flows with the websites structure. With the major search engines cracking down on auto generated or do it yourself drag and drop websites 'Technical SEO' is more important than even. Every piece of code written needs to be optimized for speed and usability across all devices.
