Web Site Design and Conceptualization

These days having a web site is not optional for businesses of any shape or size, it's simply compulsive. Does your business need  a new web site or maybe to refurbish an existing one?  But where to start?  What options are available, necessary or optional is Joomla the best solution?

What is your geographical target, Canada, North America, Asia, Europe?

If you choose to have your website designed using the Joomla or Mambo CMS there isn't much we can't do. One option is to modify an existing Joomla template of your choice. Or we can build you one from scratch. The steps to achieve this are first to create the layout in Photo shop, then we slice it and create a .php document in dream weaver.

Web Hosting

Once your website design or redesign is completed you might need to choose a web hosting provider. Where and how will you have your site published on the world wide web? What kind of hosting plan does your type of web site require? If you web site is build around Joomla, do you need installation, transfer?

While the availability of options are absolutely overwhelming, choosing the appropriate hosing option can be quite simple if you know what you really need.

We can help you choose the best, yet the most economical plan to fit your site. Not too many useless bells and whistles but not the bare essentials either, just the right solution for your business.

Domain Name (.com) Registration

What will you call your website? What if your established company name is not available? Should you use dashes(http://www.ex-ample.com/) or one word (http://www.example.com/) ? What domain extension should you pick, .com, .net, .org? If you have a website in Canada, should you pick the .ca extention, should a USA website pick the .US extention? Should you opt for a country extension at all? How long can the name be, what keywords might you want to include in the name? If you have a Joomla web site should you include it in the domain name? 

The web site name you choose will represent your company for years and decades to come or as long as you maintain your online presence. For this reason, it is of crucial to choose the right domain name from the start before the web site development stage begins. While choosing a name might be confusing, we can alleviate the burden of domain name selection and registration by giving you information that will assist you in making the right decision.

With the advent of globalization and emerging markets of both consumers and B2B prospects, it is obvious that translation can provide you with a definitive competitive advantage. Having your site translated in the native language of your target audience can open doors to your business that may have otherwise remained closed.

Web Design Solution For Canada

Although we are based in Vancouver BC Canada, we can provide you with website design services in any major Canadian city whether through our extensive network of affiliates throughout Canada or simply by being available via phone, email or live chat virtually 24/7.

So why would a company really need to hire a Canadian web site design firm? One reason is service, since the Canadian market is smaller than the American one we will be able to provide you with more personalized service tailored to the Canadian audience and your specific needs.

Canada's online landscape is also relatively unique because of culture on one hand and bilingualism on the other. While most online marketing strategies and web site design methods are shared between the American and Canadian market, Canada is definitely unique and similarly to localisation, a web site's design should reflect the country's target audience whether it be French or English.

Should you have your website designed in both of Canada's official languages?

Unless your product or service is directly related to a specific language (IE: Dictionary, Uni-lingual Book, Owners Manual, Software etc...) you should consider having your website done in both official languages unless your target clients reside exclusively in a uni-lingual geographical region or zone AND your service or product is strictly available locally. If this is not the case, translation and localization of the entire website to French is highly recommended.

Since the French market is considerably less crowded and competitive than the English one, gaining high organic search engine rankings is relatively easier than for the more competitive English online equivalent. Conclusively, the French market is smaller but easier to reach successfully.

How much does it cost to have the website translated and localized?

Translation and localization of your website for Canada's bilingual audience is actually quite affordable, the cost is not necessarily doubled since most of the database settings and graphical elements are already set for the original language website version. Usually, if the language level and complexity isn't too high, you can expect to only pay about 50% more for the alternate language version. So you basically get 2 websites for the price of one and a half, a 50% savings on the additional site version and a 25% discount altogether.

Should American, Australian, UK or any other English websites also opt for a French version for Canada's market? As stated earlier, most definitely if your services or products are available world wide. Canada's online marketplace is one the wealthiest and most vibrant in the world. The question really is...can you even afford NOT to profit from this reality? And who would know more about the Canadian online landscape than a website design firm based in Canada. 

Geo targeting 

Local search is a hot topic lately.  Increasingly, search engines like Google, MSN and Yahoo determine the location of the Internet visitor via cookies, then simultaneously through dynamic algorithms display results based on the searcher's geographical location. A website optimized for Canada will show up higher in search results. Another option is to purchase a .ca extention for your domain name.

 Canada's Seasonal Clientele

Canada has 4 very distinctive seasons. If your site sells products or services that are even remotely related to seasons, holidays or specific periods of the year, such as travel, sporting goods or gifts. Appropriate timing must also be taken into consideration because of Canada's multiple time zones. Time of day and day of week can make a huge difference on conversion ratios. Please contact us if you wish to have your website tailored to the Canadian market and we will give you an absolutely free no obligation 30 minutes phone consultation.

While the web site design process doesn't necessarily have to be done locally in Vancouver, the look and feel of the site should represent Vancouver as much as possible. Vancouver is unique in Canada and the website should try to reflect this reality as much as possible.

The importance of geotargeting( For the Canadian Market)

Geotargeting is a way of making your website easily accessible to targeted geographical areas of the world. This can help a website cater to the local community and be more relevant to the services or products wanted by local residents.

We will use “Vancouver BC Canada Joomla Web Design Firm” as a broad set of keywords to demonstrate how this could be accomplished. There are numerous factors and techniques to be taken into account in order to have a successful organic (Vancouver SEO Services) as well as PPC(Vancouver Adwords Pay Per Click Management) campaign to reach the Vancouver BC Canada (website design firm in our example) market.

Using Pay Per Click to Geotarget

Using Pay Per Click search engines like Google and the help of your Joomla Vancouver Web Site Designer is a great way to do this, it is possible to pay for clicks that only originate from Vancouver BC Canada. Nowhere else in the world will your sponsored listing show up. That could save you considerable amounts of money, because after all, why would you want someone from New York to click on website design services Vancouver, webmaster Vancouver or even Webmaster Canada? It is also always a good idea to use geotargeted keyword combinations for your PPC campaigns. Of course in the case of our example we are able to offer website design services anywhere in the world even if we weren’t geographically located there, but what if your business were strictly local?

Using *Organic Geotargeting

By strategically inserting geotargeted keyword combinations in various areas of the website (same as standard SEO techniques) a website should be able to reach targeted and specific markets if the industry is not too competitive. In our example, “Vancouver BC Canada Joomla Web Design Firm”, the competition is relatively fierce, so using the keywords or phrases Joomla Canada Webmaster or Joomla Web Designers Canada or even Canada website redesign to achieve high search engines rankings could be difficult or next to impossible without using alternate online Vancouver SEO campaign and promotional techniques like link building and alternate offline promotional strategies.

 *Organic results are the listings showing up in search engines that are NOT sponsored links. In the case of Google, organic results show up in the middle of the page on the search results, sponsored listings or PPC show up on the right.
