Showcasing Bellingham your business , your products and your services in the correct way is one of the most important things you can do.
Often times a website that was built by a web designer in Bellingham rather than a developer has shortcomings that just cannot be fixed.
Poor user experience because of how long a page takes to load and because of browser compatibility issues are at the top of the list of problems we see.
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.
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. There is no shortage of freely available drag and drop website builders. Most of the free solutions monetize their products by placing ads on your website. Generally it is easy for someone without technical knowledge to modify the pre-built templates by adding photos and changing some colors. These pre-built templates work on mobile devices as well. If, however, you need a larger site or if you want to use your site as the basis of an SEO project you would do better building a site that you have full control of. The speed at which your website loads is a critical part of SEO. You need to be able to pick and choose which elements are loaded and how they are developed.
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. Keep in mind that by using a web-site builder you are locked in to their system. You are locked into a monthly fee. If you stop paying you will lose your site. In essence you are renting your website and have no way of moving your site to another hosting company. A professionally built website by an expert web development company gives you the control you need. You are not tied to a particular web host and you can move your website to any provider you choose.
The short answer is longer than you think. It takes time to plan, prepare and execute. Even single landing page for a PPC ad campaign takes time to design and develop properly. Small business websites usually run in the 2 to 3 month range. Smaller sites can be done in about half that time frame. Midsize to large web development projects usually take 6 months or longer. The important take away is to set aside a realistic amount of time for the completion of your project.
You should plan on having several meetings with the team working on your project or account executive prior to the start of any graphic concepts or coding. Meetings are essential for a successful project outcome and can be accomplished in person or remotely.
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. A team of individuals with unique skill sets is generally needed for proper website design and development. The products we deliver are built to win because we leverage unique strengths from our team members.
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.
Every section and component on your website is checked to make sure they are properly coded. We make sure everything works on all screen sizes, has minimum load times and meets your branding guidelines.
People often ask when should I start SEO? The SEO process starts before a single line of code is written. Successful search engine optimization starts in the planning phase of a website and is defined by the goals of the project. 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.
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. It is vitally important that you choose a team that understands and has the variety of skill sets needed to make your project succeed.
