Web Design Services for Business

Does your business really need a website? That is a question that many small businesses ask.

At the very least a website can be considered a business card. Add that to the fact that when the costs of a website, the hosting fee's are added up for the year you have one pretty inexpensive way of promoting your business. You will be surprise how often the Internet is used to locate businesses and services.

Elite Network Solutions builds functional websites using industry standards such as CSS to insure that your website has the same look and feel regardless of website size. A perfect example of controlling a website using CSS ( Cascading Style Sheets) is www.seakunga.com . This website has over 150 web pages and with our powerful website design techniques adding new pages and updating the navigation for the entire website can easily be done in minutes not hours.

 

Other key features in our design process are

  • orginal websites - we do not use purchased website templates. In fact we believe that those website templates do not save time and do not produce a professional website. We start with common page layouts and utilize orginal graphics and or logos to create an orginal dreamweaver website template
  • web pages that are controlled by CSS. This insures that regardless of browser types our web pages will display without problems. After all when you run a business website you need to make sure that you are not excluding potential clients because they use Safari instead of Internet Explorer. We work hard with web developers to ensure that our websites meet the changing demands of web browsers. Nothing is worse than a website that will not render becuase of browser version
  • search engine friendly pages that are well crafted - we hope that you will agree that while our web pages may be simple they are easy to read and offer a clean look
  • Clean looking fonts and easy to read pages are a key to our designs. We aim to make websites that contain all the information needed, but provide that information in a way that allows web guests to easily locate it. Nothing is worse than following tons of pages to locate information.
  • Great Navigation - we use CSS menu's so as not to confuse search engine crawlers. Again while flash is pretty cool we do not create websites that utilize flash in this manner. We also ensure that our Javascripting does not create problems for search engines
  • site maps and Google site maps - A google site map is a special map that is submitted to google. This ensures good indexing. As a website is updated so is the google sitemap. Yes this take time but it does help SEO efforts
  • meta tags, Page Titles and good page descriptions to ensure that search engines see the content that you want
  • web pages that are well optimized. Even those that are rich with graphics will load quick. Of course the final result of web page speed does depend on your hosting server.

Your website can also include other interactions such as

  • slide shows
  • photo galleries
  • data bases
  • web forms

And more.
