Search Engine Optimization

Getting listed in the search engines requires three equally important steps.

  1. Researching which targeted keywords you should use to promote your site.
  2. Making sure your site can be easily indexed or "crawled" by the search engines.
  3. Getting links back to your site.

Heather Goff of goffgrafix will program your website so that the code is search engine friendly, and she will design your custom content management system so that you can control the placement of your targeted keywords.

Researching which targeted keywords to use on your website and building links back to your site can be very time consuming. If you'd like to learn how to do this yourself, Heather can help you get started with your keyword research and point you in the right direction for link building. If you don't have the time or the inclination for the SEO work, she has seo experts that she can refer you to.

It is very important that you work with an SEO specialist who is staying on top of what the search engines are looking for today. Using methods that worked even two years ago could get your site penalized. Heather will put you in touch with valid, reliable, local search engine experts.

Customized Wordpress Blogs

Heather loves wordpress. Whether you need a custom theme programmed, or want small adjustments made to a purchased theme, she can help. She can set up your blog to act more like a traditional website with a content management system, so this is a quick and affordable way to get a website up that you can manage.

Questions to Ask Your Webdesign Company

Before you hire a webdesign company, here are some important questions to ask:

  1. Who is going to be designing and programming my website?
    If you are approaching a large design firm, you may very well be paying top dollar for an entry level designer, or, if it is a small company that you are researching, they may outsource parts of the site. You have a right to know exactly who is going to be working on your project, and what their credentials are.
  2. Ask to see examples of work done by current staff.
    A webdesign company may have a very impressive portfolio to show you, but are the designers who contributed to that portfolio still working for that company? Sometimes they aren't. Ask to see examples of work done by the current staff, so that you can make an informed decision about who will be designing your site.

When you work with goffgrafix.com, you are hiring Heather Goff to program and design your website. Heather brings years of experience in programming and visual design to your project. If there is a piece of the site that needs to be outsourced, Heather will put you in direct contact with a selection of qualified professionals, and you will choose the best fit for your company and work directly with them. See examples of websites designed by Heather Goff.

Here are a list of important resources for before you start designing your website. These resources answer many initial questions.
