Responsive web design means ensuring your website looks and behaves correctly on every device (laptop, tablet, phone). Besides the different screen sizes, your site also needs to look good in both landscape and portrait orientations on tablets and phones. We will make sure that your website:

• Looks and behaves correctly on every screen size ranging from a high definition monitor, down to a mobile phone.
• Displays correctly in both landscape and portrait orientations on phones and tablets.
• Behaves correctly on both Android and iPhone devices.
• Behaves consistently on top desktop and mobile browsers.

Responsive design is very important because a large percentage of online traffic is now from mobile phones. Some estimates are as high as 60%. This means that it's just as important, if not more important, to make sure your site looks good on a mobile device as well as a desktop/laptop computer. If your business isn't careful to make sure your site doesn't go haywire on a mobile phone, you could lose a significant portion of your potential customers.

We will use the latest technologies to create a rich and dynamic website for your business. Unless requested otherwise, we will develop your back-end system in the ASP.NET MVC 5.0 framework. This framework will save you money by helping to make future modifications, management, and additions to your site as quick and efficient as possible. The MVC framework will also benifit you in the future if you need another developer to work on your site, as MVC is a very popular framework in the web design industry. By using the MVC framework along with AJAX and jQuery, we will give your website a very modern look and feel.

If you are interested in e-Commerce for your business website, you will almost certainly need a database to store things such as: product information, customer orders (excluding customer payment details which should ideally not be stored for security reasons), and inventory. It is very important to design a database carefully, or future changes can be a huge headache and performance can become slow and sluggish. Unless requested otherwise, we will use a Microsoft SQL Server 2013 database for your website. Here are a few things we do to ensure your database is prepared for future changes, and operates as fast as possible:

• Carefully plan the tables you'll need and the anticipated size of each. Using this information, we can decide if an index or clustered-index should be used to optimize performance.
• Normalize the database design (unless requested not to) so that future design changes are as painless as possible.
• Choose appropriate data types and create queries for optimal performance.

Web services are useful if you have a large system and need to distribute server-side processing to multiple machines, or you have multiple websites that require similar processing (such as reading/writing to the same database). If interested, we can develop RESTful web services using the .NET Web API or WCF framework, or SOAP-based web services. Please contact us for more information.

Search engine optimization can be an effective way to increase your customer base. SEO is the practice of designing a website such that it ranks well in Google and other search engines. We will be sure to use every tactic to make your site rank as high as possible. Besides optimizing the search engine rank, here are some things we can do to make your site more search engine friendly:

• Create a Google+ account for your business so that your business location is displayed in Google searches.
• Add meta-tags to your pages so that search engines display more detailed information when your pages show up in searches.

Wordpress sites have situations where they are beneficial, but can also make things overly complicated, limit functionality, and increase the cost of your site if used incorrectly. If interested, we will help you decide if a Wordpress site is a good option for your business, and if so, help you choose a theme and get started on development.
