Why should you create a business web page? Because a website is one of the most cost effective ways to market your business. You can potentially expose your business to over 50 million Internet users, and that figure is expected to triple in the first few years of the new millenium. You can include as much information as you need on your website, update it as necessary, and make secure sales without compensating a salesperson. You can also get feedback from your customers through your website!

The Internet is not just a passing fad. It has developed into an effective means of communication throughout the world, and is now becoming an even more effective sales representative for any company that has a web presence.

Obviously, huge corporations have no trouble with the design and technical aspects of building a web page. But what about those smaller businesses that decide they have a need for a website, but aren't sure about how and where to go about establishing one that fits their needs and budget? That's where SEACOAST SITES comes in.

Websites are beneficial to their companies because they cost comparatively very little to start and maintain, they increase exposure, are easy to update, offer online sales opportunities and provide customer feedback.

Information on the 'Net can be accessed 24 hours a day from anywhere on the globe, and it's information that can be updated almost instantly. You'll save money on the thousands of brochures you won't have to print, mail or destroy (because they're outdated or contain errors). You'll reduce phone and administrative costs in your Customer Service department, because your customers will know where to look for up to the minute service: your website!

It's not about having a web address to print on your business card. It's about determining how a presence on the Internet can compliment and enhance your existing marketing and communication objectives. To that end, SEACOAST SITES delivers affordable, high quality, customized website development services for businesses and community organizations.

Professional Layout and Design.

Your web presence has to be more than just illustrations, it has to be layed out in a logical, easy-to-use and consistant manner. We don't want your visitors to feel as though they just entered a maze. The design has as much to do with the visuals and content, as it does with allowing the user to become oriented in as little time as possible.

Our design team specializes in this area. From a professional design aspect it must be visually appealing, deliver clean, crisp information and encourage the user to return - knowing they will find the information they require with a minimal amount of navigation.

We encourage you to become a part of the website building process, and to assist us with the design. It's your business; you know what you want your visitors to see and how you want them to feel when they visit your site. We will work with you to advise and assist you in determining the best information to include on your site, what your visitors - your potential clients - will be looking for when they visit your URL.

At SEACOAST SITES, while we design according to our client's wishes, we build our business websites according to the following guidelines:

Clear and concise - Get the message across quickly.

Easy to navigate - Visitors should have no trouble seeing how to move around the site and shouldn't get lost in a maze of links.

Short loading times - Each page should load as quickly as possible. Visitors tend to get impatient when a page takes longer than one minute to load, even on a slow modem. Many readers go somewhere else rather than wait a long time to view a page.

Limited JavaScripts - these techniques may effectively make a page look flashier, but will take a significantly longer time to load... more so on a computer that is not very powerful and/or has a slower modem. Additionally, older browsers may be unable to recognize these codes.
