Do your web pages rank highly in the search engines?
With on-line competition at an all time high, there has never been a more important time to make your web site appear high up on the pages of search engines and increase site 'stickiness'.
Research has shown that around 87 percent of internet users use search engines and directories to look for products, services and information. There is no advantage in having a web site if no one is able to find it.
'Search engine optimization' refers to the process of modifying a web site to achieve a high search engine ranking for specific keywords or phrases. The sort of phrases your clients will try to find you with in the search engines. To achieve high search engine rankings, certain features of your web site must be optimized to make the site search engine friendly.
'Search engine marketing' is a much broader term that refers to everything that can be done to utilize the technology of search engines, blog directories and other social networking systems with the goal of promoting a web site and increasing its traffic, its "stickiness," and, in the case of sites that promote a business - increase profits.
SEO (search engine optimization) is in fact just the first phase of SEM (search engine marketing).
The Big Problem is...
The big problem you will encounter again and again - is that very few web design companies know how to optimize a web site or what to do after that! Sure, they can create an attractive looking site, but we can show you hundreds of sites developed by companies that have been in the internet business a long time and which fail miserably and often embarrassingly when it comes to search engine performance. You may find this difficult to believe - but it is hard reality. Is your site one of them?
At iDream Media Group we know all about search engines (particularly Google) and how they prioritize and rank sites. We know what they want to see and we also know what they will penalize or perhaps even ban you from their listings for. We also know about things like website traffic, social networking and other technical aspects.
High page ranking and effective linking strategies...
If you are serious about your website and you want a high ranking, well visited internet presence - talk with us. There are a myriad of ways to get a high page rank and increase link popularity. We are here to help and we are sure you are already in agreement with our company motto: "The bitter taste of low quality lingers far longer than the sweet taste of low price!"
Joomla! has become 'the' most powerful Open Source Content Management System on the planet.
It is a 'free' open source framework and content publishing system designed for quickly creating highly interactive multi-language Web sites, online communities, media portals, blogs and eCommerce applications.
The name 'Joomla' is Swahili for 'all together'.
Who uses Joomla!... apart from us?
Joomla! is used all over the world to power everything from simple, personal homepages to complex corporate web applications. Here are just some of the ways this award winning CMS solution is used:
Corporate websites or portals
Real Estate Agent Websites
Online commerce
Hotel and Tourism websites
Small business websites
Non-profit and organizational websites
Government applications
Corporate intranets and extranets
School and church websites
Personal or family homepages
Community-based portals
Magazines and newspapers
the possibilities are seemingly endless...
Here are just a few examples of Web sites that use Joomla:
It can be used to easily manage every aspect of your website, from adding content and images to updating a product catalogue, processing credit card payments or taking online reservations.
The difference between Joomla! and commercial CMS solutions?
Unlike commercial solutions that offer different versions according to your budget, Joomla! is available in just one 'all encompassing' version - and it is cost free.
Many commercial CMS solutions boast a vast array of modules - in some cases up to 80 of them. Joomla! offers an awesome amount of extensions that currently numbers at 4028.
Joomla! has an active community of more than 200,000 (validated) friendly users and developers.
A big advantage you should not overlook...
If your company or organization hires a third party Joomla! developer such as iDream Media Group or builds in-house software using the Joomla! framework, you are building on an open platform that does not tie you to any one design company, developer or to a proprietary, closed application. You own your site and can develop it with anyone you choose. This is of huge importance if things begin to go wrong with your current design company. Be smart - use Joomla!
Is a CMS website search engine friendly?
CMS offers the best platform to develop sites that meet all the SEO requirements.
HTML layout is well formed with no nestled tables making it easy to read for crawlers.
We can ensure that URL's do not have any query strings. The URL's can be of the type www.yoursite.com/pagename.html Such URL's are extremely Search engine friendly.
Meta keywords can be defined at a global level (across the site) and also at page level.
Is a CMS web site difficult to maintain?
Once Joomla! is installed and running, it is simple for even non-technical users to add or edit content, update images, and to manage the critical data that makes your company or organization effective. Anybody with basic word processing skills can easily learn to manage a Joomla! site.
Via a simple, browser-based interface you will be able to easily add new press releases or news items, manage staff pages, job listings, product images, and create an unlimited amount of sections or content pages on your site.
Is a Joomla! CMS website expensive?
The emergence of powerful, flexible, Open Source CMS's is truly a revolution in web technology. Firms like Interwoven, Broadvision, and of course Microsoft, have in the past dominated the CMS market with offerings that start in the low 5 figures! Whilst it may seem too good to be true, highly functional CMS platforms are now available without licensing costs. It is true!
Today, iDream Media Group can develop a Joomla based (CMS) web site for almost the same cost as a static site.
What is LAMP technology?
As an effective alternative to expensive proprietary software, LAMP technology (Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP) Open Source technologies are leading the websites and applications development market and have become the platform of choice for developing robust dynamic web solutions at an affordable cost.
What about multi-lingual web sites?
Probably one of the biggest advantages of our CMS solution is its ability to run multi-lingual web sites - and there is only one 'back office' to manage it all! Joomla recognizes a users operating system and automatically displays a site in the users language if it is available. Of course users may switch to other languages as they wish.
Decentralized Editing on any browser!
Editing can be done with any normal web browser from anywhere in the world - or with your iPhone :)
Simply contact us for a hands-on demonstration and see how Joomla! and our professional development skills can help you and your company to become highly competitive on the world wide web.
Many companies originally set up their websites as a means to advertise and promote the products or services they provide. Many companies have expanded their web marketing objective to include providing customer support and selling their goods. Although the business objectives vary widely, and the implementation varies greatly from one site to the next, the reality is that owning and managing a web presence of some kind is a fact of life for most businesses. Many web sites have already been through one or more redesigns, or are considering a redesign. Those organizations that don't currently have a web presence most likely wish they did. Whether considering a new site or a web site redesign, many companies are still implementing designs that lack the ability to be easily updated once going live.
A content management system can potentially significantly reduce website implementation and design costs while greatly facilitating the ability to manage content within the site. By using a content management solution, you can significantly improve the way your business functions on-line.
You control the changing content that keeps your viewers/customers coming back.
An Introduction to Content Management - is there a problem with a static HTML solution?
HTML was developed as the page formatting language of the Internet. It originated from a complex markup language used in the printing industry. In order to make Web pages more dynamic looking, additional programs and features such as JavaScript, PHP, Cascading Style Sheets and many others were added to work with HTML pages. These additional programs, while enhancing the viewer's experience, significantly increased the complexity of the code.
The average business person has little time to develop expertise in any of these languages, therefore relies on the services of a highly skilled Web programmer. Sites written "from scratch" using these tools are expensive and difficult to change without understanding the code behind the pages. Or, the developer might use a tool such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage to generate the HTML code. In any case the tools are limited in specific functionality (such as an e-commerce store front) and the operator still must be well versed in web programming to use these code generators effectively. The result in either case is a static page that cannot be changed or updated easily by the site owner.
Content management web solutions cut the chain that shackles you to your web programmer.
Content management systems are designed to enable web site owners to change and maintain their own websites without knowledge of web programming languages. Web content and page changes can be made from any computer that has a web browser and an Internet connection. Content can be managed with a utility that is similar to Microsoft Word. There is no need to hire, call, or pay for a web programmer to make changes to your site.
