Services Overview
Website Design
The design of your website should reflect everything about your business that you want others to know. There is a huge possibility that your potential customers will see your website long before they visit your business or speak with you directly. With that in mind, it is imperative for your website to encompass who you are, what you are offering, and anything else that is relevant. Pictures and videos speak volumes, especially when they are complimented by well-written text. We take special care to ensure that we fully understand you and your brand so we can create a website that expresses that to the world.
WordPress Website Hosting
About 45% of the world’s websites are currently running on WordPress. Skyfall Digital Media decided to utilize this platform long ago because we realized the immense support from all different aspects that it had and still has. Its poor business practice to capitalize on something that isn’t going to be around for a long time. As a customer, you can rest assured that your website is running on the latest and greatest software, hardware, and it configured in a manner that supplies your end-users with a delightful experience. We host all of our website on our own servers. We also sell domain names which when combined with our other services places us in the category of a ‘one stop shop’ for all things related to Digital Marketing. Our web servers are running on the latest hardware and software to ensure that they deliver the best performance possible. It’s very important to have a fast web server because no one wants to visit a slow website. As a matter of fact, most people won’t come back if their initial experience is poor. Our services are structured to minimize any performance issues, especially when combined with our WordPress Speed Optimization services.
WordPress Performance Optimization
Once you get past the website design phase, next comes something that is equally important in the eyes of the major search engines and end-users…a fast website. WordPress is a complex platform that has several ‘moving parts’. Each part of a well optimized website has to be tweaked to ensure that the site loads properly on all platforms (mobile, table, and PC). Our websites are inherently friendly on all of the aforementioned platforms, but they are propelled into outer space when we spend the extra time to optimize them for speed. Impatience is a byproduct of our current society having access to an immense amount of technology. As a business owner, you definitely want to make sure that your site is FAST.
SEO - Search Engine Optimization
If your somewhat familiar with Digital Marketing, you have probably heard the acronym SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This ‘dark art’ requires an individual who is dedicated to continuous learning because the major search engines are endlessly updating their algorithms. Think of it this way: you want your website to rank high within the search engines, after tons of work (and time!), you finally achieve it. The following month your website starts to fall from its high ranking status. SEO experts fight this fight constantly because of the endless changes that sites like Google are implementing. When you hire us, we will work on your website on a monthly basis to ensure that it stays ahead of the curve. This is a challenging task that never ends until you decide that you no longer want your website to be found by a huge number of individuals.
WordPress Security Service
There are two groups of people in the IT world. One groups is referred to as ‘white hats’ and the other group is referred to as ‘black hats’. Those of us to spend our time fortifying our websites, servers, and networks from attacks are in the ‘white hat’ community. Nothing is perfect due to the ever-changing nature of the software, hardware, and the ingenuity of ‘black hats’, but what is possible is to mitigate the majority of attacks that are frequently launched against website, especially popular ones. You may think that you don’t need to worry about such things because you have a new website and/or your business is small, etc. Nothing, I repeat, nothing could be further from the truth. All websites can be targets. Don’t ignore the risks, know that your website is being protected with the best tools available under the watchful eyes of a WordPress Security Expert.
Custom Logo Creation
How many successful businesses can you think of that don’t have a really memorable logo (something cool!)? Over the years, we’ve worked with several clients who for one reason or another decided not to have an official logo created for their business. This is a monumental mistake. They’re missing out on an incredible amount of organic advertising through business cards, hats, t-shirts, pens, and anything else that you want to plaster your logo on. The best practices for creating a custom logo has many facets, but the one that always comes to the surface is would you wear your logo on a hat or t-shirt? If the answer is not a huge YES, then your logo needs to go back to the ‘drawing board’.
WordPress Maintenance Service
Website maintenance is service that is extremely critical. This is especially true when you get everything just the way you want it (and it starts gaining more and more visitors!). Eventually, it becomes a huge focal point of your business. Just imagine waking up one day and finding out that your website is down due to an unforeseen issue and it’s permanently lost (everything made by humans can and will break/fail). For many businesses, that would be catastrophic. Our monthly maintenance services will ensure that you don’t ever have to deal with a situation like that because we backup your website to an offline location every month (or more often if your business model has more frequent needs). Our website maintenance services also includes monthly updates for the WordPress platform and all of the plug-ins that your site is utilizing. Don’t bypass this critical service!
