Need a Website?

In this day and age if your company is not on the web then you’re in trouble.

We have a client that’s been in the same business for over 20 years he built his company from the ground up brick and motor style and is now successful destroying his competition over the last 20 years.

This client came to EXM Media with a problem,  a couple young guns moved into the building across the street in the same industry.  At first he wasn’t worried and figured that he would out last them the way he has outlasted all of his competition.  That was 4 years ago, that small company is now larger and making 200% more than he is.  The reason is, our client never got his company online depending on old business and referrals while this new competition STARTED online and grew very fast reaching national growth within a year.

This has become the trend, 90% of all your new clients and customers will start on Google, yahoo or msn to research the product or service there looking to buy.

Not being online or having a site that is not SEO friendly is plain dumb, having a good Website that people can find is the same as having business cards or phone lines, it’s no longer a luxury but now a part of successful business.  See our tried and true method behind creating effective Websites

Javascript

While Flash is well flashy, its pretty bad for SEO, search engines like Google and Yahoo are blind to Flash so while we do it and we do love how awesome it looks its not practical unless your already a well known company or don't care about marketing to search engines.

There is an alternative and while it may require a bit more effort you can achive the same "flashy" results and as a kicker it works MUCH better with search engines and backend management for easy to update content management systems.

On that note, there is almost nothing flash can do that our amazing javascript programmers can handle.

Also theres an added advantage for using javascript over flash and that's the mobile phone, people are using there phones more often and Java is the basic platform most phones use in there mobile browsers.

Social Networking

According to Nielsen Online, social networks and blogs are now the 4th most popular kinds of online activities. 67% of the world online population are now visiting them and the time they’re spending on them is growing by three times the overall growth rate of the internet. Social networks are now visited more often than personal email is read. Some social networks have grown to such enormous proportions that they rival entire countries in terms of population—if Facebook, for example, was a country, it would be the fifth-most-populated in the world (right between Indonesia and Brazil).

There something very important about having a social identity, your website needs a presence on social networks and we can design those social pages to brand your site and social pages to match.
