It is imperative that your Olympia services and products are showcased in the correct way. This is one of the most important things your website does!
Often times a website that was built by a web designer in Olympia rather than a developer has shortcomings that just cannot be fixed.
The issues we see most often are compatibility problems with certain web browsers and slow page loading times.
Most of the time we find it is more cost effective to build a new site from the ground up versus trying to repair an existing one.
It is important that you understand the costs, timelines and the pros and cons of sticking with your current website or building a new one. We present each client with a detailed analysis to help them make the choice that best matches their goals and budget.
We absolutely do not recommend a build it yourself website. It takes years of experience to plan, develop and deploy a website correctly. You can create a website and host it for free with some website builders on the market today. Many of these solutions allow for some modification such as images and colors. They typically work okay on mobile screen sizes as well. If SEO is important to you and you expect to show up on the first page of google and attract new leads, having full control over your site is a must. The speed at which your website loads is a critical part of SEO. You need to be able to pick and choose which elements are loaded and how they are developed.
The website builders on the marketing simply do not give you the total control you need. You need a professional web developer who has complete access to your custom built site to achieve success. Keep in mind that by using a web-site builder you are locked in to their system. You are locked into a monthly fee. If you stop paying you will lose your site. You are renting your website. You do not have access to the source code and cannot move your website. Being able to actually own your site, move it to any hosting company you choose and being able to pick your own web development company are just some of the ways custom built are more advantageous.
The short answer is longer than you think. It takes time to plan, prepare and execute. Even single landing page for a PPC ad campaign takes time to design and develop properly. An average project takes about three months with some of our smaller projects taking just over a month. Larger web development projects can easily span into a 6 month range or more. The important thing to keep in mind is to allow plenty of time.
You should plan on having several meetings with the team working on your project or account executive prior to the start of any graphic concepts or coding. Meetings are essential for a successful project outcome and can be accomplished in person or remotely.
Stay way from Web Designers. A web designer typically does not have the proper skill set to develop and code your website. Generally their area of expertise stops in the graphical design space. It takes a village! As a general rule it takes more than one person to develop a website. It often takes a team of people with different expertise. The products we deliver are built to win because we leverage unique strengths from our team members.
Clear goals for your project are essential. We help our clients narrow down the goal for section of their website through proper research, planning and execution.
With clear goals laid out we move into design and development. In this phase our developers and designers work side by side to ensure each feature on your website is built to work and perform as intended.
We keep the goal front and center. Each section of our clients websites is checked and re-checked. We look at things such as how fast it loads, branding guidelines, proper display on various screen sizes and more.
People often ask when should I start SEO? The SEO process starts before a single line of code is written. Successful search engine optimization starts in the planning phase of a website and is defined by the goals of the project. Every article or page on a website should have a specific purpose. We help our clients with content development and make sure that content flows naturally within your website. One of the most important pieces and is 'Technical SEO'. Code that is developed and deployed needs to meet W3C guidelines. We ensure every piece of code developed works as intended and looks great on all devices.
Basic website design principles have dramatic effects in the success of your project. The web design process can be the factor that determines if your site succeeds or not. To give your project the best chance for success, it is important that you choose a team that has a variety of skill sets.
