What is Website Design and Development?
Website Design and Development covers everything from building a
basic webpage to managing complex, database driven websites. It includes making sure that your website
provides information, services and goods in a manner that makes it easy for customers to find what
they're looking for.
Not only does your website need to look nice, it also needs to function effectively. If you have a Pay Per Click campaign, you need to make sure that your website offers them everything they are expecting when they click on your ad so they will become a customer. Websites need to be designed with an architecture that allows them to be easily scaleable so they can grow with your business. They need to employ the latest development standards so they look the same on as many browsers as possible and are friendly to the search engines so they can effectively index your website and present your business to the online world.

Do I really need to worry about Internet Marketing?
Absolutely! Today, most consumers begin their search for products
and services on the internet. The internet has taken over from phone books, mail flyers and
newspaper advertising. If you are not involved in internet marketing you are not being seen by the
vast majority of consumers.
How does Internet Marketing differ from traditional forms of marketing?
While traditional media is still very valuable, it does differ from
Internet Marketing. One of the most powerful difference is the ability for Internet Marketing to be
delivered to a very targeted audience. When flyers are mailed to a neighbourhood, everyone might be
a potential customer, but you are also paying to be seen by people who are not currently looking
for your products or services. Internet Marketing can be targeted to people who are actively
searching for your products and services right now!
What is Pay Per Click Advertising?
Pay Per Click Advertising (PPC) refers to the paid or sponsored
listings you see above or to the right of the organic search results returned when you type a
search term into a search engine such as Google.
What is Pay Per Click Management?
Pay Per Click Management refers to the effective implementation
of a paid advertising program for the search engines' paid results programs, such as
Google Adwords. These are the results that you see on the very top and right hand sides of
your results when you do an internet search.
Companies bid to be shown for search words and phrases, and you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. It's not too difficult to advertise using these programs. The trick is to make sure that your advertising campaign is effective and within your budget.

Is Pay Per Click Advertising Expensive?
The price of PPC can vary greatly. Some of the factors that can effect
the cost of a PPC campaign are how competitive the industry is, geographic region and campaign quality.
The key is to design a campaign that effectively targets the greatest number of potential customers
in the most cost effective manner.
What is Search Engine Optimization?
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, employs the most relevant
development standards so your site is easily indexed by the search engines, evaluates the copy on
your site to make sure it is both search engine and customer friendly, and develops online relationships
that build your brand online. Search Engine Optimization provides the essential building blocks of an
effective Internet Marketing Plan that, when put together with Pay Per Click Management
and Website Development and Design, provides a truly successful online presence.
Some of the considerations are valid HTML code, easy to use site navigation, sitemaps and ease of site indexing by the search engines.

What does it mean to have Valid HTML Markup?
Validating a web page ensures that the page is designed in accordance
with the latest web development standards. This is important because a valid web page has no coding
errors on it, will more likely look the same on different web browsers, and will be easier for the
search engines to index, understand and rank.
