WEB PAGE OPTIMIZATION

Spend some time on the internet and you start to realize that there are many poorly designed web sites out there. It's easy to create a site with numerous graphics and animated logos. However, by doing so, you greatly add to the download time. Graphics and animated logos are important because they add character, personality and a theme to a web site. But they should be used sparingly. All graphics we add to a site are:

	Optimized to be the smallest byte size possible while still retaining their quality.
	Created using web safe colors.

Search Engine Optimization

One of the most important considerations when building a web site is optimizing your site for the various search engines. Every search engine ranks web pages differently. For some the page title is most important. For others it's Meta Tags or Key Words appearing in the first paragraph of the page. Every page we create will have the following:

	An appropriate page title.
	Key word Meta Tags.
	Description Meta Tags.
	Key words appropriately worked into the first paragraph of the text.
	No tiny text. Several search engines consider tiny text as an attempt to spam and will NOT index the web page.
	No invisible text. Several search engines consider invisible text as an attempt to spam and will NOT index the web page.
	All graphics will include key words in the Alt Text field. Several search engines take into consideration the Alt Text when indexing a site.
	All pages will include Comment Tags with prominent Key Words. Several search engines take into consideration the Comment Tag when indexing a site.
	All web page redirects will be done using Java Script. Several search engines consider Meta Refresh tags as an attempt to spam and will NOT index the web page.
	At least one navigational method on each page will be Text Links.
	Several search engines cannot spider navigational image map links.
	URL strings will contain relevant key words.

To help ensure that your web site is indexed by the top twelve major search engines we will manually submit your site. We then submit your site to directories and free listing opportunities.
