Graphic Design Services by Myrtle Beach Website Designer

Graphic Design Services

 

Whether you have a brand-new business, or have been doing it for decades, one of the most important things in the world of business is BRANDING. Someone needs to see your brand and know who you are and what you do.

Most importantly, they need to recognize it, whether it’s on your stationary, your store sign, your website or your hat.

For this reason, we at Myrtle Beach Website Designer put lots of priority on making sure your website reflects the rest of your business…your store, your pamphlets, your brochures, your business card, etc.

Many times, however, we do site design for a company that has not yet built their brand, or is in the process of re-branding. If you fall into one of those categories, we can custom-design all of your promotional material, just as we custom-design your website.

We focus on being eye-catching, informative and inspiring…we want to inspire people to open their wallets to you!

We also put lots of importance into uniformity…when someone looks at your brochure, your website or one of your other advertisments, we want them to know that they are all for the same business, without having to read the fine print.

Most other website designers have no interest in getting involved in your graphic design, and most other graphic designers have no interest in getting involved in your website. This means that you end having to either hire two different companies, or have your web designer outsource your graphic design to another company (or vice versa). This leads to higher costs and a longer wait time.

Fortunately, Myrtle Beach Website Designer has a flair and excitement to every aspect of design, from coding, to illustration, to photography, to 3D rendering, and everything that falls in between! When you look at the sites we’ve designed, you’ll see our passion at work in every inch of those sites.

Online Marketing/Promotion & Link Building Services by Myrtle Beach Website Designer

Online Marketing & Link Building

 

Every bit as important as a high search engine ranking is high popularity among other sites. Have you ever gone to a website, and you’re reading where it says “Wow! Here’s a site that is the best ever when it comes to such-and-such, click here to go their site…”? That’s called a link.

The best compliment you can get from another site is a raving review from them, followed by a link to your site. That’s the Internet equivalent of a “word-of-mouth campaign”, and it even helps your search engine rankings too!

Google and Yahoo have figured out that, the more links a site has, the better and more relevant it must be, and they weigh their rankings accordingly. It is VERY important that your site have links to it from other sites, and vice versa.

Another important means of getting your site out there for the world to see is through internet directories and social bookmarking sites.

Internet directories are the online equivalent of the yellow pages. The most well-known internet directory is Yahoo! Directory, but there are literally thousands of others, and we’ll get you on every single one that pertains to your site.

Social bookmarking sites are the online equivalent of a community corkboard. The most popular social bookmarking sites are Digg, Del.icio.us and Clipmarks, and we’ll get your site on them too.

Having your website listed on these sites helps get your name out there, and it also has the positive side effect of giving you a higher search engine ranking. After all, Google and the rest know that if your site is so popular that it has all these mentions on other sites, then you must be a site worth placing higher on their search engine too!

The fact is, most website developers will never mention internet directories, social bookmarking sites or link-building to you, and if you ask them about it, they will downplay their importance. But the fact is, these things are the future of online advertising, and if your site isn’t on the wagon, it will be left far behind.

Myrtle Beach Website Designer can manage a massive online marketing and link-building campaign to help your site gain popularity, and your business gain revenue! And we don’t get you a couple links….we get you HUNDREDS of links! Sometimes THOUSANDS, depending on what business you are in.

And all of this, with NO Spamming or any other illegitimate means of marketing. All of our marketing and link-building is “organic”, which means that all the sites linked to yours are doing so voluntarily and without any monetary incentive. They are doing it because they want to mention how great your site is!

In addition, we give information and regular updates about your site on this blog, which is the highest-ranked Web Design Blog in the Grand Strand! This gives you even more exposure!

As always, we can provide these services as part of a Comprehensive Website Package and we can also provide these services for an already-existing site.

Website Hosting Services by Myrtle Beach Website Designer

Website Hosting Services

 

Once a website has been created, it needs to be hosted. Just like your business, your website needs a place to be located.

Your business may be located at a storefront, an office building, or in your home. Your website is located on a Host. Hosting is the service that keeps the site online.

Unlike many other website design companies, we provide hosting to you as part of a Comprehensive Website Package! We like to think of ourselves as a “one-stop shop” for all your web needs.

If you have an existing site that needs hosting (or you’re paying WAY too much for your hosting) we provide the same affordable hosting services to existing websites as well.

Myrtle Beach Website Designer is a web hosting service provider. We are located in South Carolina, and we offer hosting service for websites across the planet. While most hosting providers offer one or a few plans, we offer customized hosting solutions for each individual client. We make sure that you are provided with no more, and no less, hosting service than you require.

In addition to our hosting services, we also offer website maintenance plans. Once your site is up and running, you may want to make minor additions, removals and “tweaks” to the site as it goes along. Myrtle Beach Website Designer can provide those maintenance services to you.

Whether you have had your site designed by us and are receiving your hosting as part of a Comprehensive Website Package, or you had your site designed by someone else and wish to switch your hosting and maintenance services to us, you are provided with the best service at the best possible price.

In addition, unlike most web hosting companies, we allow upgrading/downgrading of your hosting plan at no charge for the change!

 

All of our hosting services offer:

UNLIMITED HITS!

UNLIMITED Data Transfer!

99.9% Uptime!

Redundant Power!

24x7x365 Monitoring & Management!

Redundant Network Equipment!

Redundant Climate Control!

Redundant Fiber Entrances!

Redundant Tier One (T1) Backbones!

For those who don’t know what some these things mean, they are the best that can be offered when it comes to website hosting infrastructure!

 

Many website hosting companies try to attract businesses by offering ridiculously high amounts of disc space. Have you seen hosting providers who offer you up to 5GB of space? Well, would you be surprised to know that your site probably will need less than 1% of that?

Most websites use about 50-75MB (that’s 0.075GB). Your site may need more than that, but if you don’t, we at Myrtle Beach Website Designer think that you shouldn’t have to pay for it. Our web hosting services are custom-tailored to meet your specific website’s needs.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Services by Myrtle Beach Website Designer

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

If you’re like most people who surf the Internet, you use a search engine like Google or Yahoo to find what you’re looking for online. Normally, you only need to click on the first few results that come up.

But have you ever wondered who decides which websites come up first? Well, the engines’ super-computers use a complicated and ever-changing formula to “figure out” which websites are the most relevant to your search.

That’s all fine and good, but what’s important to you is, how do you make sure that your site is listed at the top of those engines? After all, you can have the greatest site in the world, but if no knows it’s there, then you might as well not have one at all.

That’s where Myrtle Beach Website Designer comes in! We specialize in Search Engine Optimization, or SEO. We use a series of SEO techniques to make sure that your site gets the highest search engine ranking possible!

Of course, we have to make sure that you are ranked high for something that you actually do. If you sell cars, and you come up at the top of rankings when someone is searching for lawn chairs, that’s not going to help you, which is why we research the best search terms that are related to what you do, and focus on making your site rank as highly as possible for those searches!

In fact, if you found us via a search engine, then you got a first-hand showcase of our ability to get high rankings for our sites!

 

Here are a few of the SEO techniques we use for your site:

Generate pages and coding designed to follow search engine guidelines.

Develop “META tags” which provide description and keyword info to the search engines.

Modify site content to make it as search engine friendly as possible, while still maintaining the integrity of your site design.

Create XML Sitemap, which helps search engines navigate through your site more easily, and putting your site at a higher rank for more regular “crawls” by the search engines. This allows your website’s new content to be shown on search engines more quickly.

Check HTML, JSP, ASP, PHP, CSS and any other coding for possible errors.

Submit your website to all the major search engines (including Google, Yahoo, MSN Live, AOL Search, Altavista, and more).

Submit your website to hundreds of other smaller search engines.

All of the above services can also be retro-fitted onto websites that have already been created.

 

Our SEO services can be rolled into a Comprehensive Website Package for you! Or, if you already have a website, but you aren’t getting as many hits and visits as you should, we can do SEO for existing websites as well.

Never take it for granted that your website design company designs your website to be search engine friendly. The fact is, most web designers don’t even know how to optimize your site for search engines, and they will probably never even mention it. And most web designers charge obscene amounts of money for the service if they do offer it, or they’ll just hand you over to a 3rd party company to do some “jury rigging” of your site to make it more search engine friendly.

If you’re ready to get the highest search engine rankings possible for your website by Myrtle Beach Website Designer, or you want more info about these and other services, email us at spike@spikecohen.com or call us at (843) 902-7256.

Whether your business is in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina or Guadalajara (or anywhere in between), trust Myrtle Beach Website Designer to handle all of your Search Engine Opmtimization needs!

Alligator Adventure – Look What We Did!

Have an affinity for reptile monsters that would love to eat you? Of course you do! Go to Alligator Adventure!

 

If it involves wild animals, warm weather and more wild animals, Bingles and I are there!  Especially if it’s in Myrtle Beach, although this is technically in North Myrtle Beach.  Yes, it’s a separate city…

Today’s feature is Alligator Adventure, which is part of Barefoot Landing.  We go there all the time, and for good reason.  Here is just a partial list of the creatures they have there:

• Alligators by the hundreds.
• Crocodiles, also by the hundreds.
• Utan, King of the Crocodiles (assumably because he’s so big, not because any actual royal lineage).
• Dozens of turtles, including giant Galapagoses (Galapagosii?).
• Dozens of exotic birds, including macaw parrots and these pinkish things that look like ostriches but are, in fact, not ostriches.
• Hundreds of reptiles, including iguanas and weird frogs of all types (yes I know they’re amphibians).
• Hundreds of snakes (yes I know they’re also reptiles) including a king cobra and some anacondas.
• River Otters (I love River Otters).
• Bison (I love River Otters).
• An extended family of Lemurs, which I tried to join.
• Two Tigers, which we watched fight over a duck one of them had killed.

The facility at Alligator Adventure is pretty big, with raised wooden walkways that take you throughout the man-made animal kingdom.  Of course, there are always fences around the walkways, because apparently alligators are excellent jumpers.

For the sake of brevity (and laziness) I only included about a dozen pics, and these do not do the place justice.  Literally everywhere you look, there are several exotic wild creatures staring back at you, with that “I want to eat you, but this fence is too high to jump” look on their faces.

What’s cool is, they have the gators (and crocs) in the water with fish, turtles, lizards, birds and everything else that would naturally be with them.  Because they are kept VERY well-fed, they don’t try to eat their neighbors. 

Although they do sometimes chase the turtles around, which is funny.

Anyway, here are some pics, as always:

Gators, gators, and more gators...

 

...or maybe they're crocodiles.

  

It's fun to watch Galapagos tortoises eat salad. That salad looked good too.

 

We sat on the floor and watched the lemurs for almost an hour. Towards the end, the started walking up to the glass, sitting down and staring back at us. It was hilarious!

 

They have two Albino alligators, which there are only a few of on the whole planet. They cannot live in the wild, because of their sensitivity to sunlight.

 

I forget if this is the other albino, or just a close-up of the same one.

 

Who doesn't love babies?

 

Bingles posing with our new buddies.

 

Here I am, posing with Utan, King of the Crocodiles. This photo doesn't do him justice; he's H-U-G-E!

 

"I am not a crook!"

 

We like to watch the live feedings, as well as the baby gator shows.  If you’ve never pet a gator, here’s your chance.

ATTENTION JEWISH PEOPLE!  I have been informed by my Rabbi that it is against Jewish Law to touch a reptile.  So if you do, don’t tell your Rabbi.

Admission is $16.95 for adults, $14.95 for seniors, $10.95 for kids 4-12, and FREE for kids under 4!

And keep your tickets, because they’re good for another FREE visit within 7 days of your first visit!

So come on down to (North) Myrtle Beach and visit Alligator Adventure!
