Maryland Web Design - Small Business Website Design
Having a professional looking website is a must for today’s small businesses. Unfortunately, most business web sites are created by web designers who are more focused on design than on website conversions and bottom line profits for the business owner.
In addition, business owners are realizing they need more than just a pretty "brochure style" website. They're looking for additional features to help grow their business, such as:
- Contact management
- Contact forms that notify them of new sales opportunities
- Hands-off email marketing solutions to keep in touch with prospects and past customers
- Easy ways to add new content to keep website visitors coming back to the site and to improve search engine rankings
That’s why when we create websites for our clients (or when you move your website to our platform), you'll not only get a great looking website, but an online asset that includes all the key features you'll need to actually grow your business. When you invest in one of our small business websites, you’ll enjoy the following benefits:
- Professional layouts - choose from a low-cost template that we can modify to suit your business, select a custom design if you have a larger budget or need a completely unique look built from the ground up, or simply have us import an existing site to take advantage of the additional features listed below
- Search engine friendly web design - these sites are search engine friendly out of the box but we add a few tweaks to help you get even better results (the same types of on-page changes we make as part of our search engine optimization service).
- Unique content specific to your site - we’ll work with you to create unique content specific to your site and your business. You’ll see better search engine results by having unique content not found on other websites which helps avoid duplicate content penalties from the search engines.
- Easy updates and changes - you’ll be able to easily add new pages, articles, links and other info to your site. If you can use a word processor, you can learn how to update your site in about 5 minutes.
- Built-in contact form - you’ll be able to easily collect contact information from your website visitors, customized to gather the information vital to your business...then have that new lead added to your website's online contact manager and email/text message the right person in your business to take care of the follow-up (all automated)
- Built-in blog - easily add fresh, new content and articles to your site using text, audio, or video
- Built-in RSS feeds - this makes it easy for website visitors to “subscribe” to your website and be automatically updated when you add new info. Nearly every modern website has this feature but chances are, none of your competitors do!
- Allow visitor comments - get feedback from your prospects and customers by allowing comments on any page you choose...find out what other products and services they’re looking for, get testimonials, and build a relationship with your customers.
- Your own website address - you’ll get your own unique web address that you own (.com, .net, .org, etc) or use an existing web address
- Built-in web stats - keep track of the amount of traffic coming to your site, which keywords people are searching for to find your site and which sites are linking to yours with built-in web stats
- Affordable, business-class web hosting - your site will run on secure, fast, reliable web hosting using the same system we use for our own sites. Includes the ability to create customized email addresses, web-based email or use your own email software.
Note that although we are located in Bowie, Maryland (on the border of Prince George’s County and Anne Arundel County), our firm is able to handle website development for clients throughout the state of Maryland and worldwide.
