Many people want to get a website up as inexpensively as possible, but their sites have poor visibility when doing a search on Google or Bing. In order to bring more traffic to your site, you need the right optimization and development built into your site HTML scripting. What you see, is not necessarily what you get when it comes to web development.
Two basic elements of website design are image optimization to reduce file sizes and the use of headings. Image optimization involves creating beautiful 72dpi .jpg or .png images that have been optimized for the web in an...
Having a high-quality website goes a long way, but web design is more than design. It has evolved into mobile and text marketing, search engine optimization, social media administration, and advertising. Online business development is critical to your business presence and continued success. Customers today expect the same good service and quality online that they find at your business location; and just because the site is up, don't think your work is done. You have to update continuously. If you have outdated information, you could be losing sales and causing customer dissatisfaction.
For e-commerce, having an established and reputable payment...
What do you think the most important ingredient to a successful internet marketing strategy is for small businesses in Santa Fe and Albuquerque?
The single most important marketing investment you’re going to make as a local business is a separate mobile or new responsive site (adapts to all devices) with a local Google and Bing listing. For the person on the road trying to get to your shop, restaurant, gallery, or service, you need to supply an easy mobile site that can be found through searching and that is press and swipe capable.
The innovations of Google, Apple, Facebook, & Amazon are rapdily changing the way we do business. How do you keep up?
Social media has become the #1 online activity. Make sure that you have staff who know how social media works for businesses (in conjunction with the personal page), and be careful. Amateurs can damage your business presence with well-intended, but irrelevent posts and an interface design that looks as if you are a hobby, not a fully-developed business.
Mobile sites, local integration, advertising and apps are now the mainstream. Business investment in mobile sites and marketing, content marketing...
Do you think that Facebook is just another Netscape or AOL? Just when you got used taking time out of your busy day to post the everyday mundane details of your life for all your “closest” friends or business acquaintances to see, it sounds as if Facebook may be on the decline.
In the meantime, Facebook just bought Instagram for $1 billion in cash and stock. Instagram is a mobile-only photo-sharing app. It grew from 1 million users in January 2011 to 15 million in December 2011. It has 30 million users now.
Facebook filed for an initial public...
One of the most effective ways of encouraging full and extensive visiting and indexing of your site by the search engine spiders is to integrate a site map (or maps) into your development.
An XML sitemap is a 'behind the scenes' XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL. It's a map of all links in a site, uploaded to the root directory of a website, invisible to visitors. XML site maps are accessible to all major search engines and are supported by Google, Yahoo! and MSN, so they can more intelligently crawl...
Are you trying to hold off redesigning your web presence? If you aren't taking care of your website, it shows, believe me. I have taken a look at some company sites lately that clearly have not been updated in over 5 years! Ouch.
Despite all the time or money you put into your website design and hosting, if you neglect it, it will provide modest or little benefit in return. You fall in the search rankings, and when people do see your site, it...
