Why Do We Need A Web Site Now? Can't It Wait Until We've.....?
Sure you could wait - and in the meantime your competitors will be gaining a commercial advantage over you.
If you already have promotional material such as a brochure, we can take that and turn it into a proper web site in a very short time. The more content you want for the web site, the longer it will take, of course; but even for the most complex of sites we should have you up and running within weeks. The quicker you provide the copy, the quicker the site gets published.

Why Should We Choose PearlsOfWebdom.com?
It seems that these days everyone knows someone who can "design" a web site Anyone who is at all computer-literate can write some text, paste in some clipart and call it a web site. Web design software packages provide easy-to-use themes for the amateur web designer.
However, many people are not aware that off-the-shelf web site design software inadvertently creates roadblocks that prevent a site from being read (indexed) by search engine robots. Good content, formatted to suit the robots, is the single most important element to achieve the high rankings you need in order to be found by your human audience. We specialize in creating pages that will achieve a high search engine ranking AND at the same time appeal to the human audience.

We work with you to decide what kind of web site your business or organization needs. Poor marketing or presentation reflects badly upon your business and an amateurish or poorly-designed web site will not present the corporate identity you've worked so hard to establish.

We design web sites of the highest quality. Our graphics, logos, banners and other eye-catching features will capture the audience's attention and focus them on your products or services. In short, we:

know how people use and interact with web sites and the Internet
listen: so the site is designed the way you, the customer wants it.
recognize the importance of web pages that download quickly.
understand that content is more important than pictures and flashy multimedia.
promptly respond to customer requests.

How Will The World Find Our Site?
We start by having you publicize the URL yourself: Include it on letterheads, stationery, business cards, brochures and traditional advertising - and don't forget to tell your Clients and Customers!
Then, we promote your web site on the Internet itself. There is more to the process than meets the eye and it is an ongoing process. There are thousands of search engines, news groups, banner advertising firms, link exchanges and the like, most of which will not be appropriate for your business. We can advise you on how your web site should be promoted and then we can carry out that promotion for you
There are companies guaranteeing your web site's positioning in the top ten listings on the major search engines. We do not! Your site's listing is, quite frankly, a matter for those search engines and no-one can provide an absolute guarantee about the placement of your site in the rankings. It will vary from day to day and from search engine to search engine.
Each search engine (AltaVista, Yahoo, Lycos, Excite, etc.) has its own criteria for ranking web sites and strict rules which must be followed to ensure that your site is not removed altogether.
We will submit your web site to the major search engines and relevant news group as part our Search Engine Optimization service. Contact us for our price list.

How Much $$$$$?

Our web sites start from as little as $200, depending upon the complexity, number of pages, graphics, etc.
Our advice is to sit down with paper and pencil and sketch out your vision of your site. Then call or e-mail us to set up an initial consultation and we can take it from there, giving you a budget price or quotation for your web site.
