What exactly are websites?

Websites are "Online" informational pages. Websites emulate the businesses current information and advertising. An individual may read a description of your business to first determine whether or not they would like to receive or do business with your company. At that time, they decide and may request more information on your products and/or services. This allows your customers to buy all from one place.

Photography may include portraiture, landscape, still image, or any other project that you may need. Bring your project to our studio or we will come to you. 

What is Flash and do I need it?

Flash is an animation program made by Macromedia.  Flash programming may be used to animate certain aspects of your website.  Buttons, logos, side panels, splash pages, etc.  There are pros and cons of Flash animation.  Some surfers like it and some do not care to see it.  The use of this is up to the website owner and designer.  Cons: Search engines use the text on your page for their ranking determinations. If your site is filled with Flash animation or if your text appears as a graphic the search engine spider will not see it. Rich media enhancements like flash look good to human visitors but they are invisible to search engine spiders. To improve your chances for good ranking stick with simpler pages without the flashy animation.

What's the real deal with SEO (Search Engine Placement)?

Every single one of us who have built websites are looking to earn revenue and perhaps even to get rich doing whatever it is we do at our websites.
But just because you and I both want to be on page one of Google, does not mean you or I will be on page one of the results. Think about this objectively: no matter who we are or what we do, we are typically challenging thousands or millions of other web pages in our niche, for the keywords that we hope will make us rich.
Organic listings are best if you can get them, because they will deliver free traffic to your website, sometimes for years. On the other hand, given the cost of developing organic rankings, it often makes more sense to pay a little bit each month for search traffic, rather than to pay thousands per month, sometimes for years, just to break into the top few pages of the organic search results. There is only one company who can promise you top rankings in Google, and that company is Google. Although Google could assure you top rankings in their search results, they won't do it; not for any amount of money.

Post Creation:

I now have a fantastic website, How come I have no hits or sales?

Important: Sometimes websites are designed and left alone. Imagine you set up a business and don't tell anyone about it...Who will know your business even exists? The same principle applies to websites. Unless you promote your web presence, people surfing the Internet will never be able to find you.
Promotion is imperative! Just ask us about this service that we provide:
