Website Design Build Your Website Website Development

Website Design Before we begin work, we sit down and take the time to understand who you are and what you do. Your web design should never come from a cookie-cutter, one size fits all template. It should reflect you not only in the words you place there, but in the style, the format, the entire feel of the site. And neither we nor anyone else can know how to create that without working first to know who you are. Next, we take the time to map out with you how your website should both look and function. We bring experience and expertise to this discussion, and will advise you based on our understanding of your business and your brand. Still, we work for you, and work to ensure that your vision comes to life. We prepare a layout of your site with you to ensure you are happy with the direction, design, and flow of your site, both what each page will provide and how your potential customers will navigate among those pages. This approach to web design means that we involve you not only in what we do for you, but why we are doing it. We don’t use or create a font, a graphic, or a word without your seeing what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how it reflects your company. Each web design is unique, just as you are. This allows us to lay the groundwork for a rich, dynamic online presence that works both to bring visitors to your site and to convert those site visits into the sales that form the lifeblood of your business.



Build Your Website From here, we move from theory into practice. The process of building your website starts with the map we build in the design stage. We adhere carefully to the map we lay out with you, and to the branding and direction we have established. Every page must reflect your identity, in graphic design and placement, in the links between pages and the balance between text and images. In addition to reflecting you and your business, we execute the design with SEO in mind. We never rely on low-quality, stock visual content for your site. Every image and video we create consists of original visuals that we create and place specifically for you. We also build metadata into all of the image and video content we prepare so that this content ranks in Google and Bing image and video searches, apart from and in addition to the written content we provide. In short, we design with purpose. Everything we do when we build out your site focuses on two sides of the SEO design equation: improving your search rankings and improving the experience of visitors who find you online. After all, bringing in page views is important, but it only matters if online users like what they see once they get to your site. We create a pleasing visual space for you online, one that balances text and visuals within each page, and one that helps you rank for both kinds of content. Realistically speaking, anyone who can use a computer can build a website. Tools both cheap and free exist that walk people through the process of buying a domain name and setting up hosting. And people use them every day to build mediocre sites that look like what anyone else could do and reach toward the middle of the page rankings, over and over again. They get a place to exist online, a placeholder that says who they are and what they do to anyone who accidentally stumbles across the information. If this is what you want to represent your business and your brand, 1st in SEO is not the company you should call. We take pride in what we do, and operate not merely as a vendor, but as a trusted partner for our clients. We will never stop at doing what anyone can do for themselves. Your business is worth more to you—and more to us—than that. We will build a site you can be proud of, one that shows who you are and works to bring more customers to you.
