Your New Website is Inside

Posted on July 26, 2006 -- Drew Stauffer

Today’s Internet is a lot different than it used to be. With new developments such as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and web standards, building websites the same old way just won’t cut it anymore. The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) creates guidelines and regulations that designers strive to follow to make their sites as accessible and functional as possible. Compliance with W3C standards ensures that your site achieves its full potential across a range of systems.  However, the W3C regulations continue to change everyday. Do these new rules and regulations on the Internet mean that your website has to suffer aesthetically?  The answer is NO.  With CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), web designers have the ability to do anything on the web, from browser compatibility to full control of all the aesthetics of any web page. CSS also gives a more solid foundation for SEO, usability, and compliance with web standards.

Drew Stauffer is revised again

Posted on July 14, 2006 -- Drew Stauffer

With the intense heat that is plaguing Southern California, I have decided to look towards a cooler place. I re-designed this blog with a fall color scheme.  When I look at these colors I’m reminded of crisp days, leaves changing, orange skys and cold nights. Sadly enough these are seasons and feelings that never present themselves in San Diego. Although you can’t get too mad when the sun is shining everyday.

Best Possible Search Engine Results

Posted on July 10, 2006 -- Drew Stauffer

Why is it that when companies think about developing a website they always think about design first and SEO second? In today’s Internet environment, your business must have a substantial online prescence to achieve maximum visibility and sales. The only way to achieve a strong identity on the Internet is to invest in good SEO. I see many business who want to get their website up and running first, and then they start to think about how they are going to market their website. In actuality, you should decided how you want to market your website before the designing begins. Just like in any other business…you decide on a business strategy and then move forward. Developing your website is no different. The SEO determines where the site is ranked and indexed on each particular search engine. Quality title, description and meta tags, clean and validated code, and well-developed content are all major aspects of the SEO that can be more difficult to address at later stages in the site’s development. To maximize efficiency and overall success, these factors should not be added in after the site is completed. How you want to market your website should be the driving force behind the design.
