Creative Simplicity Web Design Pricing
Tips for success: Browse the web for sites that you like, and note which features you like or that annoy you. Think of the look and feel of your product or service, ask what you wish to convey. Examine your goals for your web site. Is this an add-on to a brick-and-mortar, or a stand-alone sites? How soon do you want to be online? Let me know from the start. Your site can be up and running quickly once we've talked and you have provided all needed information and images.

I prefer Bluehost right now, due to ease in setting up database and shopping cart functions Search engine optimization Search engine optimization is a process that is often misunderstood. It is misunderstood because those who attempt to create income for themselves by selling S.E.O. services want you to believe that expert assistance is needed. The easiest way to get good placement with Google is to be relevant: The closer that a searcher's search term comes to matching the words you have on your page, the more visible you will be. Being linked to sites with some integrity and credibility also helps: Universities, organizations, news periodicals, etc. Images should always have accurate labels, and key-words must match your content. Finally, web sites need to be updated often -- once a week is good, once a month is the minimum. Google does not like stale sites, and neither do searchers. It does not cost you a penny to have your site refreshed each week. This is a free service that very few web site developers offer.
