How do I know when I've found the right design firm? |
Referrals: Ask business acquaintances, friends, and family which Web design firm designed the Web site for their respective organizations, or if they can otherwise recommend a Web design firm. Be inquisitive. Find out what the individuals responsible liked or disliked about working with the various Web design firms. Some firms are better suited for taking a project from start to finish. Other Web design firms are more inclined to work from an existing concept.
Examine the portfolio: Do the projects in the portfolio have a consistent quality? If not, it's possible that the company has experienced staff turnover. You may wish to enquire which designers are responsible for the portfolio pieces you admire most, and confirm that these individuals are still with the company. |

How long will it take for my website to show up in the search engines? |
| This depends entirely on when the search engines send out their web crawlers or spiders to catalog your site. This can take 1 week or 2 months! We help the process along by submitting your site to the search engines. This lets them know you'd would like to be added to their queue for indexing. |

How do I get a high ranking in the search engines for my website? |
High ranking in the search engines is dependent on a host of different factors, including amount of keywords in your content and linkages. Never trust a web company that says they can guarantee first page placement on Google. For one, Google does not design their search engine to be easily manipulated. And even the world's top search engine experts would never claim to have a search engine "figured out".
The best way to be placed high in the search engines is to write a lot of good, relevant content for your website. This gives your site a lot of credibility and offers tremendous value to web users. Additionally, work with a reputable search engine marketing firm to pursue an aggressive placement campaign. |
