BIG Ideas for Small Business Web Sites
Our thoughts about web development and small business marketing online.
Web Development
Web development is the process of building web sites. It usually doesn’t include the design of the site, but includes both production of the HTML, CSS, and Javascript (front-end web development) and PHP with MySQL or other back end web development languages.
Web Development was a part of these projects:
CIMP Records
We designed and produced the site and developed a content management solution that imports XML files into a MySQL database.
North Country Now
We redesigned and produced the home page and made some minor modifications to the content management system on the back-end.
Walsh Auction
We designed and developed a site and local content strategy that positioned this client well for local search results.
Ramer Contracting
We designed a WordPress theme and performed an online competitive analysis and positioned the web site well for local search results.
“… everything I could have hoped for …”
You did a great, great job. It’s everything I could have hoped for. Thanks for all you’ve done.
