Web Design
Like a trip to the grocery store, many things go into the cost of a custom website, so the final number for a simple, custom site largely depends on your “shopping list”. Do you need branding? Copy? Photography? The starting range will be from $2,000 – $4,000 depending on what goes on the list. The price goes up from there if we add additional technology such as SQL database, custom Ecommerce carts, streaming video, etc. Read more on our blog post on pricing out a website project. You can also try out our new build a quote calculator to find out what we charge.
The reasons you might own a website instead of renting one are similar to the reasons you might own your residence rather than renting. First and foremost, it’s yours. If you want to make improvements to it, say, add a pool or repaint it, you can. Likewise, if you want to customize your site, you will have to work within the limitations of WIX because you don’t control the toolkits and fonts that the servers support. Furthermore, you will have to pay WIX in perpetuity, which is a sunk cost if you later decide that owning your site is the right move.
All you really need is an idea of what you want the site to do for you. From there, we can help you formulate a content plan that will suit your need and budget.
SEO
There are many ways to get on the first page, but the first step is to choose the right search terms. It doesn’t do you any good to get on the first page for terms nobody is using. Google has a Keyword Tool that you can use to research the popularity of your search terms. Then you want get them in your Page Title Tags and Meta Description Tags. After that, it’s just a matter of taking actions that Google’s search algorithm will favor. Active pages with links from other sites move up in the ranking, as well as pages with stellar mobile performance.
It can take a few months for your search ranking to rise for your desired searches. You can speed up the process by utilizing off-site SEO best-practices.
Our SEO services can only be applied to a site that you host, though WIX has some standard services they offer to improve SEO, many of the actions we would take to improve your searchability will not be available with such a service.
