Web Design Process
Not all web design companies are the same, nor do they offer the same products and services. When it comes to web design in Riverside, Small Business Network Administrators stands above the rest for the multiple services that we offer and our outstanding customer care. There are several web designers in Riverside that offer beautiful websites but these same designs lack the components of a search engine optimized website. Most of these web designers will allegedly deliver a complete and beautiful design that never show up in search engines.
Web Design Package
Before choosing a web designer in Riverside ensure that you get a complete web design package. At a minimum your website design company should offer not just a beautiful design, but also a search engine optimized website. Please note that a “search engine optimized” is not the same as “search engine ready”. That means that your website designer should work with you to develop a good search engine optimization strategy that as a minimum includes development of “keywords”, “key phrases”, “optimized page titles”, “optimized descriptions”, and “graphics optimization” not just for the home page but for all pages in your website.
Search Engine Optimization
Search engine website submission and directory registration should also be part of your design package. Sending a website to a whole bunch of useless search engines will end up listing your site in spam prone sites. Be selective as to which search engines and directories your website is sent. Your Riverside web designer should be able to assist you in the selection of search engines and directories.
Domain Registration
Domain registration should also be part of your design package. Most individuals tend to fly off to GoDarby to purchase their domain only to find out that they have been taken by one of the largest domain resellers in the World. Then they endure a painful process to transfer the domain back to a less expensive, user friendly environment. There is some science behind domain names and your web designer should take the time to understand your business and suggest a meaningful domain name. Selecting a domain name just because you like the sound of it does not necessarily makes it a winner. Remember that search engines will first look at your domain name as keyword, then “user experience”, then key phrases before returning a hit. So taking the time to carefully analyze your business and selecting an associative domain will go a long ways in helping with search engine results.
Web Hosting
Then comes the selection of a reputable hosting company. Most web designers will work with you in creating a beautiful website that functions just the way you want but then through you in a hosting account with GoDarby or WAX Hosting. What they don’t tell you is that these hosting companies will more often than not will push to sell you services that you do not need. Most web designers will not even help you to set up your domain account so you are left to fend for yourself for a service that you should have gotten from your Riverside web design company.
Web Management Training
Lastly but no less important is training. You have this beautiful website, great domain, and hosting company but you don’t know how to manage it. Leaving the door wide open for your designer to offer an additional service, for an additional fee that should have been included in the original package. Managing websites (especially Content Management Systems) is quite simple. Training can consist of a small series of videos that the end user can refer to as needed. There should not be a need to pay for a simple service like managing a website, unless the client WANTS to hire the services of a web designer to perform that task.
Small Business Network Administrators
All of these components do take time and effort, which translate into expenses. Understanding these steps will help you understand the cost behind website design. At Small Business Network Administrators we understand every one of these components and can work with small businesses and non-profits to build the best website for the business at the lowest possible price. We are able to offer low price but high quality web design packages because we have a low overhead and have our own web hosting company.
