Why our company has the “right stuff”

Designing a website is much more than establishing a “pretty face” on the web. To design a website means knowing your goals and properly planning to meet those goals. Designing a website involves research. It means that you integrate ways to continually market your business to new and existing visitors. It means treating the underlying programming code like art so your website is presented perfectly to every visitor that arrives. It means providing the right balance of substance and image. It means leveraging all the tools that the internet can provide. It means crafting the presence of your business online so you turn a visitor into a customer, a client, or to keep visitors coming back again and again. It’s our job as web designers to make sure this happens. Click the following link to read more about how to choose a website design company. and what makes a great website design company..

Keyword and keyword discovery

For us, online and search engine marketing starts with research. At SMG we want to determine if it makes sense for your business to market online before we take your hard earned money. We believe in providing you keyword discovery research first. This essentially means that we report on all the keywords and key phrases related to your products and services that people have used in the last 60 days. Once we have this information in hand, we’re able to determine the best course of action for your marketing plan based on fresh, real world results. By properly utilizing this research it helps us determine a very targeted plan to optimize your website and internet marketing plan from the ground up.

Pay-Per-Click Campaign Management:

Another way to get immediate results is to run a pay-per-click campaign on Google and Yahoo. Based on the amount you want to pay per click, your ad will show up on the right side of the search results when someone searches for your keyword/phrase. The price of a “click” depends on the category you want to be positioned within and can range from pennies to many dollars per click. If this is something that you don’t have time for or feel that it’s better handled by someone more experienced, we can help. Based off of our initial research we’ll recommend keywords to target for your campaign, set up your account and spending limits, monitor and optimize the campaign and provide final reporting every month.

Email Marketing

We believe that once you get someone to visit your website you shouldn’t miss a chance to retain some contact information so you can stay in touch and “top-of-mind” over time. Staying “top-of-mind” when your potential client is ready to purchase is a key ingredient to effective marketing. Our e-marketing software/service that we call “Subscriber Manager” allows you to easily integrate and manage e-newsletter subscriptions on your website as well as design, manage and schedule email “sends” to your subscriber base. Visitors can easily subscribe and unsubscribe without your involvement via your website so the management of your email list is simple and automated.

PHP programming:

Sanctuary specializes in PHP programming and development on the LAMP platform. (Linux, Apache, mySQL, PHP) This is a very popular, open-source solution stack of software used by some of the biggest names in the business. Since it’s open-source (free to use) we don’t have any of the additional costs and hurdles required by other programming platforms like ASP.net which is provided by Microsoft. The decision to use the LAMP platform is not all about cost though. Linux/Apache servers are FAST and reliable and the programming language is flexible and easily customized. In addition, the LAMP platform is highly secure and stable. This all adds up to a winning solution for your business.
