Web design and development is more than just some code, a couple lines of text and a few pretty pictures. To be truly effective, it takes a working balance of creativity and technical knowledge; an understanding of the Internet environment; and a keen awareness of user expectations.

Concept to Design
     Golconda Technologies works with its clients to ensure that their Internet marketing goals are defined and implemented on their web site. We take the time to understand what our clients want to achieve. Once we determine their underlying purpose, designated audience, and objectives for their web site, web design begins.

Making the Right Impression
     Your web site is often the first, and sometimes the only impression an Internet user has of your company. Golconda Technologies is focused on developing a site that not only conveys the right image, but also entices visitors to learn more about your company and its products or services.

Creating the Perfect Site
     Golconda Technologies helps you create a web site that entices visitors to learn more about your company and its products and services. We work to make sure that your users won't be frustrated and confused by implementing a site that is easy to navigate, user-friendly and has fast load times.

Marketing
     Search engine optimization is the beginning of the marketing process, but it's not all. Experts are now saying that it may take 2-6 months to show up on search engine radar. Thus, they are now recommending that companies should also focus on other marketing methods to advertise and promote their site. See our marketing techniques page for recommendations.

Step 1: Web Site Conceptualization

Client goals and objectives
Statement of purpose (who, what, why)
Determining audience
Brainstorming content
Site organization and planning (flowchart)
Page elements and layout (logo, company image)

     The first step is in your hands. You work through our conceptual design worksheet (download worksheet - MS Word 2000 or call us to fax) and then tell us what you need. After we meet to discuss the results, we will prepare a cost estimate for the work. For a breakdown of hourly fees, see our rates.

Step 2: Web Site Set-Up and Design

     After conceptual design is complete, it's time to setup the web site and begin design.

     If you don't already have an Internet Host Provider, we can set you up with GoMontana.com or find a host provider that will satisfy your needs. Your site will be ready for use, with email accounts, autoresponders, FTP access, e-commerce features (if required), etc.

     From the information you provided, we will design the structure and layout of the site. We will work with you to ensure that the finished product satisfies the criteria you provided us. Once approved, your site will be launched and available for public view.

Step 3: Search Engine Submission

     After the layout and design has been finished. It's now time to determine keywords for the search engines that effectively describe the products/services of your site. With this information, we will update your web pages to make them search engine savvy.

     Search engines and directories may very well be your primary source for new visitors. Golconda Technologies recommends the use of marketing services from Yahoo.com, DSR1.com and Google.com, along with the submission of your site to Yahoo.com, Google.com, and Looksmart.
