Web Site Design and Development

ViaComp has been putting businesses online for over ten years - from the first searchable real estate site in Canada, to launching dot-com companies during the early 1990’s, to building and maintaining several current corporate and community based web initiatives.

We build our web sites with three goals in mind.

  • Usability – A web site needs to be easy to navigate and it needs to present information in a manner that is both easy to read and digest.  A poorly structured site creates frustrated users who, in turn, will leave your site for another one that makes it easier to find what they are looking for.

  • Standards Compliance – By adhering to industry standards such as XHTML and CSS, we ensure that your web site is accessible to the widest possible audience – both end users and search engines.  Being easily indexed by the major search engines translates into better rankings which, in turn, translates into more people finding and visiting your site.

  • Manageability – We give you the ability to create and edit your web site content without our involvement.  Add a new press release, modify the descriptions for one of your products, or create an electronic newsletter to be sent out to your entire mailing list.  You have control.

If your web site does not meet at least these three minimum requirements, then you are losing visitors, potential customers are having a hard time finding your web site, and you are spending too much time keeping your site up-to-date – or even worse, you are not keeping it up-to-date.

 

Why Have a Web Site?

According to recent statistics published in the Globe and Mail on August 17, 2006:

  • 81 per cent of those surveyed use the Internet as their primary tool to research products or services before making a purchase.
  • 69 per cent of those respondents will then actually make the purchase online.
  • 58 per cent of people surveyed are more likely to buy from a company that has an online presence.
  • 42 per cent of people think “more favorably” about that company.
