As a consulting firm, Marketing & Design makes it our mission to set your company apart from competitors by implementing a marketing strategy, designing and creating ads, setting yearly budgets, purchasing media and promotional ideas, and designing your marketing materials.

Digital Success

The web is a tool of infinite uses. It can be utilized for communication, information retrieval, production, entertainment and more. Taming the web can be a daunting task. With technologies changing on an hourly basis you don't want your company's site left in the dust by your competition.

We love what we do and we believe that our passion for the web is contagious. Many of our clients tell us that they procrastinated on investing in a web site for many years because they were under the impression that the process is frustrating and exhausting. This may be the case with other web design companies, but not Marketing & Design. We pride ourselves on our efficiency and professionalism.

Not to say that building a website is an effortless journey for our clients. A website is a serious investment, and should not be taken lightly. When we start on a project we like to imagine ourselves as new employees in your company, and we require some training. The only way to really portray your image, to do your company true justice, is to understand your business the way you do.

How We Do It

We design smart. We stay privy to the latest happenings in our field and employ methodologies that allow our sites to load quickly, function as expected, and perform exceptionally in Google™ rankings. Several techniques used in all of our work:

  • Designing With Standards
    • Every site we build complies with W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) XHTML and CSS standards.
    • What does this mean? It means Google™ will love your site right away. This is an instant advantage because you will jump much of your competition in Google™ rankings because they may have older, messier sites which do not comply with any standards.
    • To know whether or not a site was constructed with standards in mind look for the following two icons
      • Valid XHTML
      • Valid CSS
  • SEO
    • SEO, also known as Search Engine Optimization, is a combination of tools web designers use to improve your web site's search engine ranking in addition to writing the site using W3C standards. We submit our sites to all the major search engines and include the following to maximize site rankings
      • Sitemaps
      • AdWords (Optional)
      • Company Map
      • Geographic Targeting
      • Enhanced Image Search
      • Site Verification
  • The Production Tools You Need
    • Included with every site we create are several production tools essential to maintaining your site. These features are complimentary for all of our web sites, and additional applications are available for view through the web portfolio.
      • Unlimited E-mail
      • Flexible Storage
      • Traffic Reports
      • Phone Tech Support
      • Contact Form
      • 99% Uptime
