"Designing for the Web is no longer about designing web pages, but more about designing content"
(Tim Carr, founder 3rd Eye Vision commenting in .NET issue 171.)
"These days, without and online presence your business might as well not exist."
(FP Entrepreneur-The Innovators, Jan.23, 2012 National Post)
Why web design & internet marketing shouldn't be "set-and-forget" afterthoughts.
Setting a simple, brochure-style web site is a start, but only a start. Setting and forgetting it is a recipe for online obscurity.
- In 2012 Canmore / Banff businesses can expect sophisticated online competition in a "democratized" web space.
- Today's noisy online milieu requires a considered content strategy to make you stand out from the crowd.
- For a small business, a productive web presence demands managerial online application awareness.
- Business use of the Social Web requires personal engagement, concerted effort and some know-how.
- Web content needs planning and constant attention to communicate well with a diverse audience.
- Planning the right approach and choosing the right tools for developing your web presence is key.
- More than creating image, it's about better communication with your existing and potential customers.
Competing online in a technology driven market isn't about filling your web pages up with the latest gadgetry. It's about staying on top of communications fundamentals with a web presence relevant to your audience's information needs. It's about having the right content in the right places on the web and keeping your story updated and relevant. |
We are interested in helping you to round out your business & marketing plans with a well-designed presence on the World Wide Web. While we do create custom web site designs, we will enthusiastically assist you with setting up and maintaining many of today's open source web publishing systems, blog engines and/or social media applications. |
We write web-ready copy and prepare photos, video and other online media. We optimize your web pages and content to make them as search-friendly as possible. Keen about the business potential of "cloud" applications, we always strive to integrate these technologies with your workflow for best effect. |
Any business that is looking for customers needs to understand the Internet and how to
market their goods or services through it."
(Eric Lefkofsky, noted Web entrepreneur and Groupon cofounder, quoted in "Return on Social Media" National Post)
The Web is far from static. Your online profile needs to move ahead in concert with relentless Internet change and the constant emergence of new technologies.
Today, establishing and maintaining a productive online presence is about showing up in a variety of online channels by stepping out of the comfort zone of that single website that you launched several years ago."
(Garth Henderson, Owner/Operator, Black Bear Ventures, www.sitesatwork.com)"...a big part of mentorship is encouraging people to find the answer as opposed to giving them the answer."
