Welcome to my Cyber Home. You may have noticed I've dress it up to make it nice for your visit.
So, let's begin talking about web design. I imagine that's why you're here. The way I see it, it's all about advertising. It's about displaying yourself, your company, your products, and services. It's about attracting clients, and supplying them solutions for a fair exchange.
As a designer, I must be able to visualize your customer, his needs, and your preferences. I have to align my thoughts with yours, find the proper colors, form and arrange the images, and position and optimize your text copy to create the perfect environment for your customers. No doubt, what you are looking for is a show-boat.
But there may be a few things you do not realize that you need. There are several important items that lay beneath the surface, within the various language mark-ups that assist search engine spiders. There are several important coding features that combine to form your web pages so as to make it a breeze when you need to make alterations. There are web standards that if complied with, will insure your display to be consistent with past, present, and future web browsers. And there is a variety of ways to present your display for attracting, distracting, enticing, and discouraging future clients.
Not everybody will appreciate your new web presence, and I'm sure some will even comment so. But my goal is for you to be totally satisfied with the results I present. I may have to sacrifice time and money to achieve this, but there's one thing you will realize; I endeavor to relate with who you are, to understand your business, and to realize the total picture. I am only successful when you are!
My services include forming your website with cascading style sheets (CSS). Some designers still use table structures that add additional coding, and make your web pages heavy, slower to load, harder to make alterations to, can be an obstacle for search engines, and may not conform to future browsers. I also employ XHTML opposed to HTML and HTM, for the mark-up language for all websites. This is the mark-up language of the future and will remain as a web standard for years to come.
Your website needs to be found, so I include search engine optimized web design, SEO web design. Within your copy and your mark-up, valuable keywords need their specific placement. This is one of the keys to use my services; all my clients are on Google Page One for their keyword phrases; shouldn't you be?
It’s imperative to get visitors or clients to register, subscribe, and buy from you. Flowing design, compelling copy and simple navigation is necessary to bring valuable conversions. I strive to manage your online effectiveness; to insure that you own your market by seeking out what works for you, why it works for you, and how to make it work better for you.
