Website Development Packages Are Very Useful

By Faith Lynch


More consumers than ever before now search for information on products, and also purchase those products on-line. Many on-line businesses miss out on this tremendous opportunity by failing to realize the full potential of a well-designed traffic and lead generation system, as an essential component of website development packages. An effective package should increase on-line presence and bring greater long-term traffic to the site.

There are three main stages in the creation of a web presence. First, the initial, discovery phase where creative guidelines are established and available content is evaluated. The second stage is the design phase to ensure that the visual design matches company criteria and to establish a suitable design style. Finally there is the production phase where the graphic design interface is combined with content to create the completed product. This involves detail-orientated fine-tuning and quality assurance.

Logo design is the most important factor which determines the identity of any personal brand. The logo can adorn pages, business cards, even work wear, it should capture the essence of the company whilst having an impact on customer acquisition. A good package will consider every detail of the logo, from background, colors, text, borders, fonts to shadows.

Web optimization is an integral part of a quality package. This begins with the right choice of keywords and the creation of organic optimization techniques. A competent developer will submit the specific page in the most relevant categories to the most popular search engines. Business listing promotes the site to one point six million daily searchers.

When deciding on a package, check that it offers traffic analytics, continued support and a designated project manager to supervise design aspects of the project and report back on progress. Another vital consideration is a content writer able to provide keyword-rich, well-written Search Engine Optimized content to draw searches to the site. Look for options such as a navigation bar, homepage, drop-down menus, header images, photo galleries, Flash animation, sliding menus, tabbed content box, Guest Book and e-Commerce cart.

Recently, social media's importance has dramatically risen in the minds of search engines. The modern company must demand social media SEO as part of any serious strategy. Acceptable package solutions must include web optimizing programs for social media such as Facebook and Twitter that meet the specific demands of the business.

Another vital ingredient in any all-in-one package is mobile design. Bearing in mind the fact that there are four mobile phones for every PC, it is plain to see that by developing an application to put your company on every mobile phone will substantially increase the visibility of your firm's site. Smaller businesses must find a developer who will help them claim a sizeable portion of this traffic in an emerging marketplace.

Options to consider when purchasing a website development package obviously include cost, storage, bandwidth, hosting (domain names, e-mails, and web-hosting) and administration (control panels, web tools, full control). Check that the package offers 24/7 support and tutorials as well. With all these elements, website development packages will produce a tailor-made, unique, eye-catching site to meet e-Business marketing goals.
