Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – Web Design is a “Marketing Business”, not an “Art Exhibit”. There are many “Artistic” and “Animated” websites out there that will never get found, because their Web Designers failed to optimize them. If your website’s Title is “Untitled”, “Home” or your “Domain Name” – Call Us Today!
Quality Web Design – Most Novice Web Designers use off the shelf Web Design Programs, and never learn HTML code. Unfortunately, many of these web programs don’t write very clean code, often resulting in many coding errors and warnings. If the Web Designer doesn’t understand the code, they can’t fix all the coding errors? If you website fails W3C Validation – Call Us Today!
Total Customer Satisfaction – You’re not just building a website – You’re building a long term marketing relationship with your Web Designer. Over the past 14 years, we’ve seen many North Carolina Web Design Companies come and go. If your Web Designer has a surly attitude, “nickel-and-dimes” you for every update and change, is slow to respond, is plagued by employee turnover, has questionable business ethics, or has just “disappeared” – Call Us Today!
Experienced – Back in the 1980’s, anyone with a $3,500 Laser Printer was suddenly a “Desktop Publisher”. Today, anyone with a $350 Web Design Program is suddenly a “Web Designer”. We’ve been in the North Carolina Web Design Business since 1998. We’ve been designing websites since 1996 – Back when many of our junior competitors were exploring 24 Bit Color by Crayola®. If you are searching for an “Experienced Web Design Company” – Call Us Today!
Made In USA – Some North Carolina Web Design Companies outsource all of their Web Design work overseas. They are “Web Brokers”, not “Web Designers”. All of our websites are designed in North Carolina, USA – We never oursource any work overseas. If you are looking for an “American Web Design Company” – Call Us Today!
Web Design Jargon Simplified
We’ve put together some common Web Design Jarjon, to help you understand the Web Design Business. Call Us if you have any Web Design Questions.
HTML – HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the markup language for Web Design. HTML is the code that your web browser uses to display your website on your computer screen.
Website Hosting – Your website needs to reside on a high speed server attached to the Internet. Website Hosting runs about $9 per month. Beco Technologies can setup your website hosting and register your domain name at the same time.
Domain Name Registration – Your Domain Name will be legally registered to you – Not to the Web Designer! Register only 1 domain name per physical website. Domain Name Registration runs about $12 per year. Beco Technologies can register your domain name.
Search Engine Submissions – We submit your website once a month to the major search engines, until it’s indexed. This can take a few months to get a new website indexed.
Sitemap – A sitemap is a file used by the search engines to index every page of your website. We create a sitemap for each of our websites. When we update a website, we update the sitemap.
Unique Visitors Counters – Unique Visitor Counters can be visible or invisible. Our counters count Real People – Not Page Loads.
Website Types – Static Websites are designed, updated and changed by Blue Ridge Media, written in HTML. Dynamic Websites, written in PHP, are accessed with a Control Panel by the customer. If you need a Dynamic Website, one you can update yourself, contact Beco Technologies.
