More often then not, the first impression a customer has of you and your business comes from your website. Make sure it is built to deliver an incredible first impression!
Showcasing Eau Claire your business , your products and your services in the correct way is one of the most important things you can do.
Web designers in Eau Claire are great at design, but typically do not know how to properly build a website because they are not developers. An improperly developed website often needs to be re-built from the ground up.
Poor user experience because of how long a page takes to load and because of browser compatibility issues are at the top of the list of problems we see.
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.
We will take the time to analyze your current website and give you a detailed cost benefit analysis so you can make an informed decision.
We absolutely do not recommend a build it yourself website. It takes years of experience to plan, develop and deploy a website correctly. There is no shortage of freely available drag and drop website builders. Most of the free solutions monetize their products by placing ads on your website. Generally it is easy for someone without technical knowledge to modify the pre-built templates by adding photos and changing some colors. These pre-built templates work on mobile devices as well. If, however, you need a larger site or if you want to use your site as the basis of an SEO project you would do better building a site that you have full control of. Page load speed is becoming a more and more significant part of SEO. Choosing what elements are on your page, and how they are loaded has a direct effect your page speed.
Do-it-yourself website builders do not give you the control you need. Only a custom built website by a professional web developer can achieve the right results. 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. In essence you are renting your website and have no way of moving your site to another hosting company. A custom-built website is different. You own the site and can choose to host it wherever you want and work with the web development company of your choosing.
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. Planning ahead and having realistic timelines helps. On average larger web development projects easily go into the six month time frame.
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.
Don’t Just Hire A Web Designer. Web designers are great at graphical content but generally lack the necessary skills to properly develop and code a website. A team of individuals with unique skill sets is generally needed for proper website design and development. We have in-house developers with different strengths. We believe the sum of the parts is greater then the whole. This allows us to design and deliver a robust solution to our clients!

Search engine optimization starts in the first meeting, long before code is written or designs laid out. The first steps of SEO start with proper organization and structure. Content development is something we help our clients with on an on-going basis. We make sure each article or page produced is high quality and flows with the websites structure. The third and most important piece of the puzzle is what we call “Technical SEO”. Our team makes sure the code developed and deployed adheres to best practices such as W3C guidelines and usability guidelines including responsiveness for different screen sizes.
Large scale effects can be felt from lack of adherence to the most basic of website design principles. As simple as it seems the defining factor in your online presence can be the design and coding principles used on your website.
