Your Ames products, services and business need to be showcased in the best way possible.
Web designers in Ames are great at design, but typically do not know how to properly build a website because they are not developers. An improperly developed website often needs to be re-built from the ground up.
The first issue we run across is a slow loading web page, and inconsistent user experience across different browsers.
Trying to repair an existing website can often cost more than simply building one correctly from the ground up.
We will take the time to analyze your current website and give you a detailed cost benefit analysis so you can make an informed decision.
This is a question we are asked by our clients and for some businesses a build-it-yourself website is the right move. For others it is most definitely not. 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. 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. Page load speed is becoming a more and more significant part of SEO. Choosing what elements are on your page, and how they are loaded has a direct effect your page speed.
Do-it-yourself website builders do not give you the control you need. Only a custom built website by a professional web developer can achieve the right results. You should also remember that once you sign-up to a website-builder, you are locked into their monthly payment for as long as you want the site to appear on the internet. In essence you are renting your website and have no way of moving your site to another hosting company. 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.
Even the simplest PPC landing page takes time to setup. To properly plan, prepare and execute a website generally takes longer than most people realize. An average project takes about three months with some of our smaller projects taking just over a month. Planning ahead and having realistic timelines helps. On average larger web development projects easily go into the six month time frame.
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. Meetings are essential for a successful project outcome and can be accomplished in person or remotely.
