Website Design – Is it in your budget?

Monday, February 8th, 2010

In order to compete on the web you need an attractive website that will bring you results.

Every button, image, hyperlink must function properly.

Web Design Services CT

At DTG web services located in downtown Hartford, CT, our goal is to provide you as the customer a professionally designed website that fits your budget.

You will also have the opportunity to meet the staff of DTG. A great bunch of hard working people.

Domain/Brand Name – Your website address is your brand, it is one of the most important elements of any website because it is what customers use to find you. Your URL should be easy to remember, easy to spell, and synonymous with your business. If you already own a URL, DTG will attach it to a new website. If not, we will consult with you over a proper URL, then register and manage it for you. Our website hosting support system also allows you to have multiple domain names pointing to the same website, so if you wish to be recognized under different brands we can make that happen.

Content and Structure – In terms of search, content drives high visibility, and content keeps visitors on the site. When you meet with DTG, we’ll discuss your target audience and/or market and work an effective design template and content layout around meeting your website goals. DTG applies proven site concepts, text styles, and content that maximize the usability, visual appeal, and search engine friendliness of your webpages. With our team of professional graphics designers and copywriters, we can craft a wealth of material guaranteed to turn first-time visitors into regular customers.

Graphic Design - Forget about cookie-cutter, template database design! DTG employs the best graphic designers in CT for custom images and logos, lending your website a unique appearance. Existing logos can be integrated seamlessly into design to give your business a fresh look. User-friendly navigation menus and optional FLASH animation add to the enhancement of your online identity.

Functionality – Once it’s determined what information your site should convey, then we get down to the business of how the information should be executed. DTG will consult with you with regards to your site’s overall functionality, for you and your visitors. Do you need to collect personal data for opt-in advertising and communications? How about a podcast or video applications to enhance the selling quality of your products? Maybe a blog or RSS feed to keep customers updated frequently on changes, sales, and news of interest? Whatever the goals for your business, DTG can suggest the proper tools for best distributing the information throughout the Internet.

Online Payment Transactions – Where applicable, DTG will consult with you about the best methods of online payment for your site. From customized shopping carts for e-commerce to donations for religious, non-profit or charitable organizations, DTG applications can allow you to accept secure credit card transactions with ease. Sell clothes, toys, books, health products, and even labor services over the Internet with a customized store.

Content Management – We don’t expect every client to be Web savvy, but if you’re the take-charge kind of person who wants control of site management we can give it to you. The DTG content management system is easy to use, even for Internet novices. Our back-end functionality lets you create special user IDs and passwords for employees to update the site when needed. WYSIWYG editors and image libraries allow you to make changes without compromising the overall look and feel of your site. Of course, we’ll train you to use everything!

Database and Storage – If you are an existing business with a large customer base, why not transfer your information to the Internet for easier access? Build customer mailing lists and determine changes in inventory based upon sales history. With a web-based database engine , businesses can store customer data, inventories, order histories, and other content online. DTG can create the right application for your business website, and open up a whole new world of functional efficiency and marketing effectiveness.

Site Visibility and SEO – It’s said if you’re not found on Google, you’re just not found. While we acknowledge the impact high search engine results can have on your business, there is more to optimizing a website than praying for a number one ranking. DTG can tailor an SEO strategy to suit your site’s goals – visibility is important, but it’s nothing without conversion. Site submission, pay per click advertising, content management and other promotion methods are offered to build your online presence and increase awareness.

Hosting – If you have a set host for an existing site, DTG can apply a new site to your current space. If you are in need of hosting, we offer several affordable hosting packages for your convenience. Pay by the month, quarter or year for hosting through one of the best servers in the US.
