website seo: Stop Website Designing By Committee
- 10/16/19 11:00 AM
"This person says on their phone that the dash here looks odd" "That person said they didn't like the color on this page" "My friend said he couldn't find the menu" "This person said the subscribe should be at the bottom"
This is what we hear as website designers all the time. I get it that you want your website to be attractive and usable to the majority of people but you can't please everyone all the time and that definitely goes for website design. We've designed for multiple, large brokerages where the entire office chimes in on the site. At this rate, the site is … (18 comments)
website seo: Do You Want an SEO'd Site or a Pretty One?
- 07/11/17 07:39 AM
Oh, the dilemma! As an SEO person (I hate using the word 'expert' or 'pro' because we are always learning and things are always changing), we constantly work on making sites load faster, appeal to Google and follow all the rules. But as a consumer, I want a pretty site, easy to read, attractive, and one that stands out, which usually means movement, big images and buttons.
UGH - The Dilemma Hence lies our dilemma. I get it. You want an amazing site! Who doesn't!? But because we are SEO people first and web designers second, we build and design for … (11 comments)
website seo: How Many Websites do you Really Need?

I have been running into this more and more and am literally just confused.

~ Got Multiple Domains? Are You Redirecting Them Correctly? -(URL Redirects) ~ I may not know everything about SEO - heck no one does because they are changing things all the time and it's tough to keep up. But those tried and true things that either make or break the site can really have lasting impressions.

website seo: Ok, So You Have a Blog..... Are You Missing the Major Mark Over Here Though?
- 12/27/10 11:57 AM
You blog. Why? Variety of reasons I'm sure. For business, website rank, advertising, creativity, etc. Most of the time your blog is or should be pointing back to your website for added information on you, your business and area of service, right? Unfortunately I have come across too many websites that commit the ultimate blatant website mistake...... WHERE ARE YOU? Here's why this blog has been a long time coming. I am on Facebook... a lot. I am friends with hundreds of people I don't know personally, and someone updated their status yesterday stating they had mutual acceptance on an offer and … (19 comments)
