Ah, yes, the age old question of whether you need to hire a web designer or if using a website builder is just as good. Like anything, there's pros and cons for both, but working with a reputable web design company where website designers can bring your ideas from concept to reality is the best way to derive real value for your business. Let's take a closer look: Web Designer Versus Website Builder While it's pretty obvious that website designers are people who design websites, you may be less sure about what a website builder does. Whereas working with a web design company you rely on the design and coding knowledge and skill of a web designer, you're essentially using a tool and selecting from a series of template designs when using a website builder. Website Builder Pros & Cons The biggest draw for a website builder is the cost,...

You know your business needs a website, but you have no idea what your website should include. Sound familiar? If you're feeling a little lost as to what the best website design is for achieving your company's online goals, you're not alone.

If you own a business and your website isn't mobile friendly, you're missing out on a huge opportunity. Not only are websites featuring a mobile website design favoured by Google in the search engine rankings, but they also get far better exposure. If you've been on the fence about mobile web development, it's time to choose a side, and in today's fast-paced technological world, mobile compatibility is a pre-requisite for success online. Here's why: Everyone is Surfing the Web from Mobile Devices Yes, that's right, people of all ages everywhere are searching for the goods and services they're ready to buy from their smart phones and tablets. While 10 years ago mobile made up a smaller portion of the search pie, lacking a mobile compatible site is a detriment to your success online today. The thing is, people don't want to have to scroll back and forth a hundred times...

You know the old saying, 'if you want something fast, cheap and good, you can only pick one?' Well, for most things in life, this is pretty true. If you want something done for a super cheap price, it's probably not going to be all that awesome or ready any time soon. Or, it's often the case that if you want something that's really high quality, you've got to be willing to pay top dollar and may wait a while to receive it.
