For a website to be SEO friendly it must communicate your message clearly to website search engines like Google. If you manage to write your message clearly and create an accurate condensation of it for your title and description then you'll have an SEO- friendly webpage. Then if none of the many things happen which can hinder that message, such as mis-directions in the robots.txt file, then you end up with an SEO friendly website. Yay.
We offer SEO Friendly Website Design for those who do not have a website, or wish to have a new website created with SEO as its foundation. From single page "postcard" websites to elaborate e-commerce websites, we use Word Press as our preferred building platform, though we are adept at WIX and hand coding as well.

Every business, in my opinion, needs a website. It might be as little as a single page or an 1100 product ecommerce giant, but a website solves too many problems to be just ignored.
Many people try to get by having their public profile on a company website, or Twitter perhaps. It might work well for you but you will never own it nor have total control over what it says. A domain name will stay with you as long as you pay that yearly $18 (or so). And you control what gets said upon that domain.
There are free websites to make and to host. Google offers some and so does Godaddy. With Godaddy you can make a site in a few hours and host it for free. These are much better than nothing, they can look really good and are worth looking at. The issue is that you have to use their domain name, the website lives on their domain and your ownership rights are questionable.
The next best thing if you have a very tight purse, is to buy your domain name and build your website with someone like Godaddy's 'Website Tonite'. Its a difficult to beat package designed to get you into Godaddy's family. The rates, the product and the service are all good.
There are many good options for making an inexpensive simple website and many options which lead you into buying things you have no use for. Difficult to avoid to be honest.
When it comes to website promotion, we recommend that you start with keyword analysis. And as we offer a great, affordable keyword research option it would be a shame to not take advantage of it. However you get it done, you'll want several phrases for each page. Apply these intelligently to accurately describe things for a human to read.
And then there is a color scheme. There are groups of colors that work well together and a single sour tone can make a whole site 'icky'. I like to start with the main, most important home page image and design out colors that go with that. Adobe has a color planner that helps you do just that.
Any web designer, no matter how much they might gloss over the importance of the following, will require some initial data from you. We do excellent keyword research which is included in our web building service, but other designers may or may not know how, have the tools, or misunderstand the importance of beginning with the KEY words.
If you start with the keyword research then you can use this information to
At least read this page about choosing keywords before deciding on indefinite postponement or even just doing it yourself.
Assuming you will be using a modern CMS website builder such as WordPress - which we prefer and recommend - then you can start preparing for your website long ahead of ever buying anything. You can get this all ready and then buy the template to insert all this into. I suggest this for a number of reasons. Taking 'great' as opposed to 'good' pics of your place, products and other features, takes arranging. You need equipment, models, free time and possibly fine weather. You may really want to arrange for the photo shoot when you know the weather and colors will be gorgeous.
With WordPress you can have your website up and doing business in a single day.
Yes, there are good reasons to hire a designer. They are already familiar with many templates, they probably also know which plugins you will really need. This is valuable as it is really easy to get drawn into spending money on products you won't even utilize down the road. Even with a designer, though, you'll still need to follow the steps in the previous column.
Also remember that website really should not be asked to be a stagnant thing. You change, your community changes, your prices and policy changes. You decide to go for a real photo shoot and then have to upload the photos to the site. Certainly your designer won't mind doing this for you, but truthfully its not hard to learn most of this yourself. You can, should, and surely will, learn to change a webpage through the WordPress dashboard for your website. We believe though, that you will be best served having the final website put together professionally, if only because it really can take lots of time to learn how to get all of the steps done excellently. Just be aware that, even with a professional designer, only you can do a significant part of the work.
Checkout wordpress org with great templates here. WordPress is unbelievably popular for endless good reasons. WP has drawn thousands of app, plugin and template designers into their fold. All of it is designed to be used without going into the code side of the website at all. Basically all visual and not too hard to understand given enough hours for learning.
Before browsing your current photo gallery, I highly suggest that you plan out what your ideal pics should look like. Imagine what photo might best describe or show each page topic. Then see if any of the pics you have already describe similarly to your ideal. If not, then plan a photo shoot or scout out several of the great photo websites I list below.
We can produce a beautiful website for you, with photos which we choose (find or buy), text which we write with our choice of keywords. While we can do it all you no doubt see that the more you provide, then the better it will be.
Your may also choose to do the pictures all by yourself, and two things to consider. 1) hiring a professional photographer is a worthy consideration. There is more to great (and you really want 'great') website photos than one might guess. 2) Its not that hard to switch out the fair quality pics you have today for the great ones you want to add later. IE, a fair pic is better than no pic and a professional pic makes a world of difference in the 'instant appeal' you really want in your website photos.
Models also really, really help your photos. Eyes have a tad extra linger over people as they seek identities, also bringing so much perspective to the composition.
Colors are certainly important in a photo but the picture has to describe the overall message.
