Website Design & Development

Websites have become one of the most important extensions of your business. Forget the days of using the Yellow Pages, everyone goes to Google and searches for a local service or business. What are you conveying to your potential customers if you don’t have a website or have a completely outdated website? We understand the web and will guarantee to make your business look its best on-line.

Whether you’re a local business or not, we create website designs for clients in Bentonville, the rest of Arkansas and across the country. In addition, we stay up-to-date with the ever-changing internet. Responsive design is the only design we know nowadays. Consumers are on their phones more often than not. We make certain that your website looks great and performs properly when viewed on a phone, tablet or computer. Lastly, we work with WordPress, a user-friendly and easy to use Content Management System (CMS), allowing you the option to log-in to the backend of your site and make changes – or simply leave it to us.

Our team consists of highly skilled designers that will listen to your design objectives, research your competition, and create a website geared towards displaying your company, your brand and your vision. Our websites are created with sales and conversions in mind, so not only will your site look great, it will also help your company thrive in today’s competitive landscape. Whether it be building a new web site or developing an existing one, we’ll be happy to help.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why do you use WordPress?

    WordPress is a content management software that powers over 43% of all websites on the Internet. The project is contributed to by tens of thousands of developers all over the world and is growing from strength to strength. WordPress allows us to develop flexible and customizable websites to modern standards and observes web development best practices. Furthermore the community of web developers that use WordPress reaches far and wide and allows us to tap in to this collective intelligence and bring that wealth of experience to your project.

    What happens after the website is launched?

    Once your website is launched, we will provide 30 days of support to make sure any bugs have been ironed out and that you are confident using your new website. After this you will need to subscribe to one of our ongoing website care plans to make sure your website is looked after and maintained. These website care plans include updating your software, regular backups, security checks and making sure your website is online and open for business 24/7/365.

    How long will it take to appear at the top of Google?

    The time it takes for your website to appear on page 1 of Google depends on a number of factors. It depends on the search phrase people are using to find your website and the number of other websites that are also available for those search phrases. Nobody can truly say how long it will take for your website to appear at the top of search engine results pages (including people who actually work for Google), however there are a number of factors that can improve your chances. Building your website on WordPress is a good start as WordPress has some great Search Engine Optimization fundamentals built-in. Creating unique and interesting content on a regular basis for your website is also critical to increase your visibility amongst search engines. Launching your website and then forgetting about it is a surefire way to get lost amongst the noise. We are happy to talk to you more about your search engine strategy if we haven’t already.

    How will I know if anyone is visiting my website?

    We will install Google analytics software on your new website and will provide you with weekly reporting to your email where you can see a wide range of statistics about your website including number of visits, page views, etc.

    What happens if I want to add some features to the website while you’re building it?

    While we like to be flexible and responsive to your needs, we also like to deliver what we promise within the time frames and budgets we have allowed. If your new feature is something you would like to add to your website but is not directly tied to your original objectives, then we will suggest to schedule it for a second iteration of the website once it has been launched. This will of course require a new proposal.
