Business websites that get results

It’s difficult to be successful in business without a strong online presence. Any good marketing plan will include a web component. In a matter of seconds, each visitor to your site will decide if he or she wants to linger to see what you offer. If your site is dull or if your message is unclear, that visitor moves on with just one click of the mouse. Don’t let this happen to you.

Web development encompasses three standard elements: web design, web hosting, and web maintenance. Increasing website traffic is equally as important. Directly related to sales, it goes to your bottom line. Streamline operations and work smart. Find a company that demonstrates expertise in all of these areas. Doug Williams and Associates fits the bill.

Make sure that you have a plan in place for the best SEO results. SEO, or search engine optimization, involves the methodology for preparing your web page to be found when a potential customer enters a keyword during a search. This is what drives traffic to your site.

It’s crucial that your website gets noticed. An expert web developer delivers a business website design that creatively showcases your product or services and delivers your message in a compelling and engaging fashion. Your site needs to build trust, be easy to navigate, and be memorable. The operative word is impact.

A great website functions optimally with exemplary business web hosting. Web hosting is an art, so look for a provider that best fits your needs. Look for reliable uptime, tech support, security, and state-of-the-art servers.

Website maintenance is just as important. This includes the services of a webmaster, long-term maintenance, and emergency help. A good website is updated regularly and undergoes scheduled maintenance so that it functions well 24/7.

Studies show that 65% of customers research companies online before doing business with them. Make sure you’re prepared. Check out Doug Williams and Associates to see what they have to offer.

Good post. Amazing how many "business sites" seem to take no notice of SEO still.
