SEO

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of naturally improving search engine visibility (rankings) through the design, content, technology and overall quality of a website. Search engine optimization affects only organic search results, not paid or “sponsored” results such as Google AdWords. The days of just adding keywords or META tags to gain a high search result are clearly over. Today search engines look at over 200 different characteristics including speed, frequency of updates, keywords and much more. In fact, deceptive practices – like attempting to trick search engines – could cause you to be removed from search engine rankings. As a result, it is crucial that you choose a web partner that is dedicated to creating solutions for your long-term web-marking success. Contact Paul Wood Design today to learn how we can design a search engine friendly website for your company.

Community Involvement

“I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy, I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Over the past few years the way people are navigating the web has shifted. Mobile browsing (the use of iPhones, iPads and other devices) is expected to outpace desktop-based access within three to five years. Currently, most web-developers either (1) ignore the problem and continue to build sites that are only functional with desktop-based access or (2) create separate websites for each device. This solution we feel is short sighted because as our options to navigate the web change a business cannot be expected to invest money in the creation of numerous websites.
The answer we feel is fairly simple – create one website that is responsive to the screen size and device of the user. By staying on top of the recent technological developments we are able to offer mobile-device friendly websites that will save you money and ensure you effectively reach the numerous ways clients are viewing your site.
