Portland Web Development
Local Web Design In Portland
In this day and age, a business without a professional web site is at a significant competitive disadvantage. Even a simple, well-designed informational web site can earn a sale where a non-existent, poorly designed, or unprofessional web presence could deter business. Since a web site is an additional arm of public relations, or even point-of-purchase, it has become a vitally important investment for every business. We can design and develop a professional web site that fits both your marketing goals and your budget. Whether you want to invest in a simple, “online business card” web site, or a dynamic, database-driven, E-commerce web site, we can work with you to effectively create your professional web presence.
Here are a few things to look for in a web design firm:
- Reputation - Check out their portfolio of past work. Do you like it? If you don't, chances are you won't be pleased with their work on your project. View our portfolio to get a feel for our style. We feature clean, appealing, professional web sites, not bogged down by excessive Flash or hard to navigate with 'creative' menu placements.
- Location - Are you going to be able to meet them before trusting them with your critical project? Are they local? We're locally-based in Portland, Oregon to better connect with you.
- Service - If you're hiring someone to design a web site for you, chances are, you don't want to get bogged down with tech talk and programming languages. We'll consult with you in plain English, and know you're more concerned about your return on investment than bits and bytes.
- Pricing - As with almost everything else, you get what you pay for. If the web site design costs $99, it's not going to impress your clients and likely cause quite a few headaches, not to mention personal service will be nowhere to be found. On the flip side, large companies have a considerable amount of overhead that you help them pay for with each job. A nice compromise in the middle (like Vanivo) usually will deliver the best value and level of quality for your investment.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
What good is a web site if no one can find it? Using the latest optimization techniques, we will help your site reach its full potential. Some SEO components are a one-time event, whereas others are an ongoing process. Some of the facets we will address with your project are::
- Optimized Page Titles
- Google Site Maps
- Keyword-to-Content Analysis
- Site Submission to Search Engines and Directories
- Google Maps and Yahoo Local Business Listings
- Link Exchanges with Relevant Sites
- Optimized Landing Pages and Side Doors
- Copywriting and Content Generation
Of course, the fastest (almost instantaneous) way to get a top spot on the search engines is to advertise using their pay-per-click programs. We will help you set up your pay-per-click campaign and create optimized landing pages for the highest conversion rates and return on investment.
Reliable Hosting & Professional E-Mail
In addition to creating your web site, we will also host it for you. Hosting is done from a special server that keeps your site accessible to the public 24/7. We guarantee 99.9% uptime so your web site can be doing business virtually all the time. We can also register domain names for you if you haven’t registered one already. E-mail accounts are essential to the professionalism of your communications, so why not get the best for less? With 7GB (yes, GIGAbytes) of mailbox space for each of up to 100 addresses, you’ll never have to worry about ‘mailbox full’ messages, and you can check your e-mail from any computer with an internet connection. Once your web site is online, it will also need to be maintained and updated. We can either set up your web site to make it as easy as possible for you to update, or perform site maintenance and updating for you.
E-Commerce Web Development
Want to sell your products online? We can provide shopping cart and credit card ordering systems to maximize your revenue streams. Start collecting orders 24/7 by selling your products online! There are options to seamlessly accept orders on your own web site, or inexpensively process them on a third party site.
Domain Name Registration
We will help you choose the best domain names for your web site and manage them for you. You won't have to deal with MX records, CNAMES, or the spam emails that result from having your domain registered to your personal email address. There are many great domain names (www.example.com) still available, but sometimes to capture the right audience you need to invest in a premium domain - one that someone else has registered and is selling the rights to. Buying an existing domain has search engine optimization advantages as well.
Custom Quote
Since your optimal web presence is different from everyone else’s, each project deserves a custom quote. Contact us today to set up a free consultation to discuss your web design needs and how we can tailor our solutions to your budget.
