FAQ’S

Web/UI design

• What is the difference between custom web design and a template web design?

There are many free templates online that you can choose from. These are pre made web design templates that many web hosting companies designed for you to choose from assuming that you will pay the small monthly fee for hosting. A template is not based on specific customer needs and is harder to make changes to. A custom web design is a website that is made from scratch after analyzing the market, target audience, competing companies, and collecting the data about the specific industry. Once all the info is collected the project manager will discuss the approach for the new website including the site map, colors, content, links etc.

Search engine optimization (SEO) services:

• Why SEO?

SEO (search engine optimization) has long known to be the science of promoting websites in the search engine results based on targeted keywords that are relevant to a specific industry. It would be the “kosher” way to promote your website presence on search engines without paying per ad or per user click.
In fact, most of the companies we are working with understand that SEO is extremely important to their website and know that a website without SEO is like a business card without being handed out.

• Can I do SEO myself?

Sure you can. The only problem is that it is very hard to see actual results. Google has hundreds of algorithms that are programmed on their web crawlers and usually tend to change. Our company has identified over 250 parameters that can help your website when it comes to search engines algorithms. SEO is a science that requires a lot of knowledge and long hours of work, writing content, submitting them, building links, submitting to directories, finding the right keywords to promote and having a deep understanding of how it works. Plus, there are always new trends on Google that you would have to keep up to date.

• PPC (pay per click) or SEO?

Pay per click is one method of advertising that can give you immediate results on the sponsored links on Google, Yahoo, MSN. Depends on your budget and the ADWORDS you choose, you will be found on search engines and get the exposure you desire. Once you stop paying for the placement on the sponsored links your ad will be gone.
When choosing SEO, the work is done on the backend of the website, targeting the organic results rather than the sponsored links. The results from SEO will last longer and benefit you in the long run. The results might come slower but will stay longer on the organic part of the search engines.
