Web Design

If you have a business of any kind, you should have a website! Period!

Whether you already have a website or not, your web design must be professional in appearance, simple for your visitor to understand and navigate, and engaging to your visitor in a way that will make them want to come back. That is, either sell them something and/or give them something of value for free once they've subscribed to your mailing list, just to name a few things. Additionally, your website must be designed in such a way allowing the major search engines to "index" them fully thereby helping you to get found. But, it doesn't end there. That's a very small part of what goes in to making your website a success online.

Your presence on the Internet must be an important part of your ongoing marketing campaign for your business, for your charity, or for whatever product/service you offer to others. As such, the decision you make as to who will work with you to realize your website vision and to make your presence on the Internet as professional and as effective as it should be, is certainly an important one.

Choosing Cluster Web Design ensures that your web design will not stop at what the public sees on the Internet. Cluster Web Design will "cluster" the appropriate web design elements and strategies into your site incorporating important components like:

• onsite search engine optimization elements such as keywords/phrases, great title tags, heading tags, keyword/phrase integration into the body of your site's individual pages, plus other elements which will help you in the search engines;
• functionality such as mailing lists, calendars, etc (see Services section below); and
• and one of the most overlooked strategies on the Internet today - social media optimization and integration.

We will work closely with you through all the stages of your website development: from conception through testing, final publishing and beyond. Because you and your business are unique, your website should be too.

Well rounded, easy to use and navigate, professional and unique while relevant to your business.

All websites created by Cluster Web Design are content management system sites. A content management system (CMS) quickly adds powerful functionality to any website more cheaply than can be done otherwise. Once installed, configured, and running, non-technical users are easily able to add new content, change existing content, update images, and otherwise manage their website much more effectively and efficiently. With a CMS in place, extensions such as directory management, message board, e-Commerce shopping suite, weather applications, photo galleries, blogs, calendars, games, surveys/polls, and so much more may be easily added.
