Web Development
Build a website that gets results.
Overview
Web development matters. Its one of the key ways a business attracts new customers and communicates information. In terms of generating leads there are only two areas that really matter: conversations and traffic. The general idea is that the more traffic you get and the more conversions (% of people that take the action you want them to) the better your results.
There are two main categories of websites. These are static and dynamic. Static sites deliver the exact same content to everyone. Dynamic websites deliver content based on user activity and can range from simple to very complicated. Examples include blogs and E-Commerce.
I hand code websites so I know deeply how the site works and follow established best practices for SEO, Security and Privacy.
Key Concepts
The most important attributes of web development.
SEO
Search Engine Optimization builds a website with the intention of being found by the customers you want. It follows established standards and if done correctly, increases traffic.
User Experience
How easy is your website for your users to actually use. Its it intuitive or confusing. The better your UX the move conversions you are likely to have.
Security & Privacy
Security and privacy are paramount issues and the better you do it the more customers you are likely to appeal to. I follow secure coding best practices and data privacy standards to keep your user's data safe.
Mobile Friendly
We live in a world of mobile. If you don't have a website that looks good on any device, you are going to lose customers. Mobile friendly design is not an option for modern websites.
