Socialize your small business
/12/09 Filed in: Small business website development
Think of search results as your bread and butter online. If your Web site ranks highly, you stand a great chance of catching the eye of new customers, 24 hours a day. If your Web site doesn't rank well, people searching for your service won't even know about you.
Google and other search engines are focusing more and more on semantics in their search results.
What does this mean for you, as a small business owner?
It means 3 key things:
1. In order to be well-liked by Google, your Web site needs to socialize.
2. You need to post original content on your Web site.
3. Frequent updates. Nobody wants to linger at a Web site reading yesterday's news.
Site O Rific makes it easy to incorporate Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and Google Maps into your small business Web site design. Connecting with these social networking sites is a very good way to ensure that your Web site will be highly valued by the search engines, not just at this time, but for years to come.
DIY sites offered through hosting companies, such as flyer and business card companies, may be penalized for including elements and tags in the design that are duplicated thousands of times across the Web. Many people are not aware that these free Web sites are not specifically designed to rank highly in the search engines, or coded to help ensure that your business does well online. Instead, the focus is on getting customers to purchase hosting and marketing materials.
Site O Rific makes it easy for you to have a blog or vlog embedded into your Web site. Interactive, update-able features reassure your prospects (and the search engines) that someone is actually at home behind the wheel of your Web site.
Get the most affordable Web site design online and be ready for the socialized future of the Internet.

Affordable Small Business Website?
/12/09 Filed in: affordable business website
Affordable small business website design is a rather nebulous term for many. What is affordable? I have built website that are a bargain at $5,000, considering they were built for a multi-million dollar company. That is pocket change to them. But a small town plumber is probably thinking in the range of $500- $1,000 tops. Our goal is to blow that plumber away with the option to get into a small business website for $150 up front and a reasonable monthly payment. I think we have finally got the balance right.
