How Are Our Website Designs Unique?

We acknowledge that there are plenty of website designers out there who can also make you a stunning website that will WOW your customers. However, there are several aspects of our web design services that set us apart from other Web Design Companies and independent Web Designers because of our background and knowledge of how Search Engines work:

  • SEO Friendly

    As an SEO company we know what makes a website truly “SEO Friendly” and incorporate our knowledge of how the Search Engines review and index various design elements of your website into each and every website we design or redesign. We can help you save future costs by integrating core SEO components during the website development stage.

  • Built-In Features

    All of our website designs are mobile friendly! This means your website functions seamlessly for all your visitors regardless of the screen size or type of device they are using. There also a number of additional features we can incorporate into your website: Image Galleries, Blogs, E-commerce, Contact Forms, Maps plus much more.

  • Friendly Support

    Our WordPress web designers listen to your needs and are attentive throughout the entire design process and once your site goes live. We also offer security and maintenance plans to keep your website up to date and current. All of our web designs are scalable and allow for additions and growth in the future as your business grows or changes.

  • Maintain Current Traffic and Rankings

    Your existing site already has an established history and possibly some credit with the search engines, so the SEO website redesign needs to be done properly. You will need to make sure that due care is taken to not lose or jeopardize your existing website traffic, plus retain any credit your current web pages may have with the search engines.

  • Training

    We can provide hands on WordPress training to teach you how to update or add website content on your own. This means that you can make quick changes without having to call your web designer. Even non-technical people can easily update a page or add a blog post! This saves you both time and money.

  • Scalable Growth

    We’ll build your new website with the correct navigation to allow for additional locations and services in the future. As you pursue new business opportunities we can help expand your website in a way that works for both Visitors and Search Engines in the most cost-effective method.

OUR PROVEN DESIGN PROCESS

6 Stages to a Beautiful New Website

  • Orientation and Goal Setting

    First, we get to know the ins and outs of your company, current website, digital footprint, and competitors. With access to analytics systems we define your website goals and collect benchmark data on the current state of your website so that we can accurately measure results in the future.

  • Site Planning, Setup and Configuration

    Next, we take the time to strategically plan out the website from an SEO perspective including content, navigation, and URL naming. We conduct site mapping, information design, wire framing and visual concepts to help with the process. At this time, we also configure your hosting, databases, themes, and plugins.

  • Site and Page Design

    This is where the process becomes fun. Our creative side takes control as we design the look and feel of page templates across the website. We include you throughout this process to make sure you are happy with how the website is coming along.

  • Content Population

    Your website really starts to come to life as we add content and images to the new website. Depending on your preference, we can populate the website with the content and images on your previous website, add your new content and images into the website, or even have our Professional Copywriters and Content Developers write your new content and source images.

  • Preparations to Launch Site

    During this phase we make sure all our T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted. We test the website for user experience and mobile responsiveness. We also do an SEO review and make sure all the proper redirects are in place. This is where we also apply your final revisions and add proper tracking code to the website.

  • Website Launch and Final Testing

    Congratulations! Your new website is live! We submit a new sitemap to Search Console to get Google to crawl your new website and perform final testing on various aspects of the website. We also do final site speed optimization to make sure the website is performing as fast as possible.

All of our Web Designs are Search Engine Friendly!

Our website development process incorporates search engine friendly web design and does much more than just get your website up and running or translate your ideas into online marketing materials. CMS custom web design incorporates solid search engine optimization principles to improve your web pages in the eyes of the search engines. SEO web design also greatly improves your visitor experience, which is an absolute must for prospective visitors, clients and future customers. Our high-performance custom website design packages feature custom SEO services including:

  • Search Engine Friendly URLs

    You have control over what each web page URL will look like. On most generic content management systems, web page URL’s are session IDs (ex. www.website.com/content=?p=101) making it difficult to know what the web page is about when viewing just the URL. With search engine friendly URLs the same page will be displayed as ‘my-custom-business.html’ so that the page theme is contained within the URL name. This is better for both the search engines and your customers.

  • Google Compliant Sitemaps

    These are important in having your web pages properly indexed and informing the search engines which pages are available for crawling. Have Google sitemap XML files automatically generated for you that adhere to the Sitemap Protocol 0.9 to make it simple to submit to Google Webmaster Tools for inclusion. Additional information on Google Compliant Sitemaps is located here …

  • Custom META Tags

    Each page on your website should and will have unique META Titles, Meta Descriptions and META keywords plus unique page headers. These components are important indicators to the Search Engines of what each page is about and are often displayed in Google Search Result Pages, improving your click-through-rate.

  • Mobile Optimization

    It is crucial to have a website that displays and functions properly on small, finger controlled mobile devices for both your visitors and Search Engines. In fact, the Search Engines discriminate against non-mobile friendly websites in mobile search results. All of our Web Design packages include a mobile-friendly version of your website.

  • Site Speed Optimization

    Website speed is also very important for how the Search Engines and access and rank your website. Your visitors also like to use a fast website and are not willing to wait for more than a couple of seconds for your website to load. Our site designs include site speed optimization best practices.

  • Google Properties Setup

    The addition of Google Analytics tracking code means that you always know your website statistics and where your traffic is coming from. We also create a Google Search Console account so you can monitor your website health and track how Google views your website.

What Our Clients Have to Say About Our Web Designers

“As one of the final pieces of our rebranding process we had 1st on the List redesign and launch our new website. We’re a building design firm that specializes in custom homes and it was our highest priority to have our website showcase our work and diverse range of projects. Throughout the process 1st on the List was receptive to our ideas and feedback and willing to try out our ideas to see how they would look on the site. They also gave valuable input – both from a creative and practical stance – to produce an outstanding finished product. The site has only been live for a few weeks and we are already getting great feedback. I believe that the website truly captures the spirit of our company and the value we offer. I know it will be a valuable stream for attracting new clients in the coming years.”
