We have exciting news for the companies who are ready to make a move on the web.  You can now have more features with greater upgradeability – at a lower cost!

A Paramount Shift in Web Design

Read how full blog websites for business may be the next generation for web design on our new Web Design Consultation blog which is at the top of Google for ‘Web Design Consultation’.  Add the RSS feed and subscribe by email if you want to be updated with the articles we post on it – which will all be tailored towards those who are planning and those who want to keep some portions in house or even work with other companies for the design portion, but utilize our talent and experience for strategy.  First, here are some more examples of traditional blogs as components of a primary website:

• Carpet Cleaning Blog
• Netraffic Management

Second, here are full blog websites, just like WebDesignConsultation.com, the entire site is a WordPress Blog Engine – but most visitors can’t tell!  Even if they could, there really is no drawback.

• The Sellwood Inn
• SEO-Checkup
• Northwest Business Links
• Coles Carpet Care

If Speed is an Issue – The Benefits of  A Blog Website

Blogs can go up relatively fast with good content – of course this depending on your coders and content writers.  We can discuss a rush if this is a priority to you.  With a blog, you aren’t designing a web site from scratch, the coding is implementing changes to the theme you select.  This takes less time depending on the amount of customization you target, and there are other benefits.  The engine itself, WordPress, is an upgradable core component.  So when WordPress gets new features – so do you.  This isn’t automatic, but it isn’t difficult.  On top of that layer, additional functionality is built in through plugins.  A few plugins include Google Analytics, SEO All In One, Smart SEO Links, 5 Star Rating Systems, Threaded Comments, Comment Forms, and so many more… You can see that plugins can include core functionality upgrades and also fun features to set your site apart and make it more interactive.  One more layer of functionality that can be included are called widgets.  Many viral marketing websites produce widgets for use in blog websites and these can also add some diversity and function.

While our pursuit of our own perfect brand continues, it is far less important to us than the image we create for our clients.  Reaching deep to create something meaningful in someone else’s life brings more value than enhancing our own image, but that is our job and service is our duty.  For us all, though, you included, representing ourselves well through behavior and branding is about showing our clients we are serious, especially serious about service.

How dedicated are you to your company?

Taking the time necessary to reinvent your company – even on a regular basis – is a mandatory part of the process that is professional growth, especially for young companies.  Fine-tuning, optimizing, streamlining and enhancing your product line Read the rest of this entry…

Happy Holidays!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Some of us are having a tough time of it this year; no doubt you may be feeling the strain.  Assuming we have a strong family, loving, surrounding and supporting us, though, it should turn out all right.  It’s hard to fail when you surround yourself with incredible people, so make sure to spend time with your loved ones this week and weekend.  I like to believe the future is an open book that reads as beautiful as we can write it.  I look forward to every call from every one of my clients; feel free to reach out to me at your next earliest convenience.

Portland Client Highlights

Search Engine Optimization is not pseduo-science – it’s exact science. Surprising to many people, SEO can be broken down exactly as can most things computerized or digital. To explain, SEO success comes down to two major categories we will name Internal Ranking Factors and External Ranking Factors. They are defined by name, but to clarify internal ranking factors are the steps you take within your own website to enhance search optimization, and external search ranking factors are the steps taken outside of your website that also affect its search optimization.

Search Engine Presence – Internal Ranking Factors

The first category of determining factors that affect your website’s search engine presence is Internal Ranking Factors.  The layout of your website’s pages, including valid coding and amount of relevant text on a page, is a good start point.  Next keywords come into play.  By filling your site with relevant keywords supported by equally relevant content, you encourage search engines to index your pages and posts according to those keywords.  Do a quick search on Google and you will see the search keywords highlighted in the description of each result.  It’s easy to see that great usage of these key search terms will result in higher rankings and overall better search engine marketing.
