How is PlanetLink different from other website design firms?
PlanetLink’s goal is to make your website as effective as possible. Our philosophy of website design is that there are three main areas or disciplines that are required to create an effective site.
1. Technical – The correct and appropriate use of technology for a project is important. Your project needs to reach, and be effective for your target market. Using the latest wiz-bang doohicky may be impressive, but isn’t always necessary.
2. Art & Creative – Your site needs to reflect your business as accurately as possible. The visual presentation, images and colors, as well as the text that makes up your website need to be consistent with the current presentation of your business. PlanetLink can use your existing images and artwork or develop an entirely new presentation depending on your needs and budget.
3. Marketing – It’s important that your project be developed from the perspective of and need for reaching your target audience as effectively as possible. Your site should be designed taking into consideration who your market is, what are their needs and expectations, and what is the most effective way to present your business to that market. It’s also important that your site be designed to make effective use of the search engines.
