Website Development

Why Have a Website for Your Business & Why Have Archangel Digital Design it?

Along with print advertising, card materials, telephone directory advertising, and word of mouth publicity, a website is necessary in the modern business world. Not only does it allow potential clients the ability to get an impression of your business, but it will attract people to you that might not actively search through other means.

The internet is truly a revolution for commerce. Whether your business is tourist based or for hometown industry, it doesn't really matter. When people want to search for a company to provide goods and/or services the two main resources are the telephone directory and the internet. While the phone book can be a great resource, the internet can reach many more people and reach them in a more effective manner by directly targeting them. A single web-page can obviously showcase your company and its services/products much better than a single advertisement in the phonebook possibly could. 

In this modern age, when individuals want to find a business or product to meet their needs they turn to the internet. Not having a website puts you and your company at a distinct disadvantage. 

No matter what product or service you bring to market, the existence of your own website increases your community profile. It takes your business from being a standard shop into being a worldwide marketplace.

With Archangel Digital you can do that and not spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to get a quality foothold on the world wide web.

 Though a website can be a fantastic marketing tool and great asset for your company, a poorly designed website can project a lackluster and poor impression to prospective clients.

A website is just a big advertising and informational tool. Ads seen in publications that are poorly done do not get the response that sleekly structured ads that convey professionalism do. The same is true of websites and their efficacy.

With that said, you don't need to break your budget to get a quality website designed, coded, implemented, and updated. Archangel Digital provides several packages to accommodate the different needs you and your business may have. Whether it's multiple product pages, a shopping cart, mailing list forms, or many other options, these packages will be sufficient for most business website needs.

For those that require a more dense website we also provide quotations based on your actual needs that are just as competitive as the prices within our packages.

If you do not already have a website for your business, I encourage you to act now. We can assist you in every aspect of the creation of your website, from registering your domain name (the name of your website (e.g. www.yourdomain.com)) to hosting, to the actual creation and upkeep of the site.

The internet is not going away. In fact, over the next decade it's certain to become even more commonplace than it is today. The future of commerce and advertising is with the web. Get your piece of the pie now, economically and engineered to suit.

Content of Your Website

With what do I fill the site?

The first and most obvious element of a website are the graphics. Depending on the plan you choose with Archangel Digital you may have free Graphic Design time included in your package. Regardless, we offer our Graphic Design services at drastically lower rates than most of our competitors. Please review the area of our website devoted to Graphic Design.

Having a website that is functional and informative is the most important factor of design. Second to that, however, is a pleasing design that showcases the quality of your business. Like anything else, your website is a reflection of your company. An easily traversed website that looks great will convey quality and professionalism to your prospective clients.

Along with the aesthetics of your site the other main consideration is the content. What is it that you sell? What goods or services do you want to market to the masses via this new website?

When you first contact Archangel Digital we will begin the process of learning what your company does with the intention of marketing those products/services to your clients.

Websites are simply extensive advertisements. The content of your site will be determined specifically by what you do. Once Archangel Digital knows what your business does we will go to work assessing what sorts of pages and information would best be displayed on the website and in what array. We will then have a meeting with you to finalize the look and layout of your site. From that point forward your new site will take shape.

Once You Have A Website

I have this thing, now what?

Having a website is an amazing tool for your business, but just like any tool, proper usage is the key to making things work.

Once you have a website, it needs to be found by people looking for the goods or services you offer.

One of Archangel Digital's greatest contributions beyond the design and coding of your website is in the areas of the site you will never see. Beneath the surface of a website there are keywords and terms that search engines (i.e. Google, Yahoo!, Altavista, etc.) use to return results of any given search.

Free with all of our websites are a detailed rendering of these terms as well as submitting them to the search engines themselves. We not only provide the car to get on the internet superhighway, but also the gas to move you around.

Do not let spammers and other companies fool you when they say they can increase your website's productivity through  submissions to search engines for a reasonable fee. Your website designer should take care of these things when your site is designed and implemented. There is no need to hire or contract with outside sources to increase traffic and exposure on search engines. Archangel Digital does it for you.

Search engines want to return good results to their users. They want to return your company as a result if your company fits with the search a user conducts. It is in their interest to return accurate results and quality resources for their users. The key is not paying to get listed, the key is to provide the goods and services people want. If your company has a product people want and will look for, that's all that matters.
