Charlottesville Web Development
We are a Charlottesville web development company, delivering enterprise quality website programming and development at small business prices.
What Is Enterprise Quality Web Development?
Top quality web development and web programming can positively impact a company's bottom line. Here are three benefits corporate websites derive from enterprise quality website development and programming — usually called "Web Development Best Practices" and "Web Standards Compliance."
#1 Capturing A Wider Audience
Show us a corporate marketing executive not interested in reaching large untapped markets. We'll show you someone about to lose a job. Marketers understand that web accessibilty is not merely a legal liability issue. In fact, according to a report issued December, 2008, "Americans With Disabilities: 2005, Household Economic Studies" (PDF Document) 18.7 percent of non-instutionalized Americans suffer from a disability — that's nearly 1 of every 5, a total of 54.4 million people. Imagine the impact on sales if your website caters to this enormous market segment while your competitors ignore it.
Whether your business competes in Charlottesville or across the nation, top quality web development can help your company capture a wider share of your target market and tap new market segments.
#2 Search Engine Results
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is widely believed to be the most effective online marketing channel to reach new customers. Savvy online marketers know that SEO coding plays an important role in efforts to drive relevant traffic to company websites.
Every website we develop is coded to perform optimally in the search engines. Search engine ranking is factored into each web development decision we make.
#3 Web Accessibility - Mitigating Risk
Corporate legal departments are keenly aware that Target Corporation was successfully sued for discrimination by the National Federation Of The Blind for not taking steps to make the Target Corporation website accessible. Target settled the class action for $6 million and suffered a major public relations setback.
Our web developers will ensure that your company's website meets federal and state accessiblity guidelines.
Front End Development & Back End Development - You're Covered
Charlottesville SEO Web Development delivers standards-compliant, top quality front-end web development solutions as well as back-end (database driven) website programming.
What Is Front-End Web Development?
Front-end web development (client-side coding) is programming that provides information to web browsers (and alternative devices) conveying how to display, read or present the web content. All web sites require front-end coding (programming) and many small sites are built using only front-end coding. Top quality front-end web programming includes pure CSS layouts, semantic XHTML, ethical search engine optimization, unobtrusive JavaScript, "Best Practices", and strict adherence to current web standards established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
We are front-end web development experts. Each website we develop is error-free (valid) Strict XHTML that meets the most rigorous W3C Guidelines. We guarantee this and show you how to verify it.
What Is Back-End Web Development?
Back-end web development is required when website content is stored in a database. Back-end code conveys information to the database about what information to save and what to display when a website visitor requests a data-base driven web page. One example of sites that require a database and back-end programming are e-commerce websites. Such sites rely on a database to store and retrieve product details and pricing.
Charlottesville SEO Web Development builds dynamic web sites, database-driven sites and custom database applications with PHP and MySQL.
What About Blogs & Content Management?
Blogs and other Content Management Systems require extensive back-end programming. To develop such software from scratch would be a labor intensive and expensive process. Fortunately, there are many excellent, free software products available. These are known as "Open Source" applications. Charlottesville SEO Web Development can help you install and configure blogging software or other Content Management Software. We can install a free or custom theme to make your blog or content-managed website look just the way you want it to.
