Web Design: Tools for Success

Flawless design doesn’t happen by accident

Each design built is more than just a pretty face for your business. It also gets results. Pretty flash designs are worthless if no one can find it, and the latest greatest application is useless if nobody can figure it out.

Goal Oriented Design

The first question you’ll hear when you call Rainmaker is about your goals and objectives. Graphic design, marketing, and coding are only tools: we’re firmly focused on making your business a success by tailoring a unique design to fit your message.

Search Engine Optimization

Google Rankings = More Business

How do you find a fishing charter in Key Largo, FL or Chinese restaurant in Fort Collins, CO?

If you are like 78% of Americans, you begin by visiting your search engine of choice.

Remember, a beautiful site will not increase your client/customer base if nobody can find it.

Check out the SEO portion of the portfolio above, or feel free to contact me to discuss your business’s search engine visibility.

Web Application Development

Got the next big idea but don’t know how to make it work? From simple interactions with your clients to complex database driven applications, we’ve got you covered. Long past are the days when visitors just read web pages like pieces of paper. The social web offers so much more, so if interacting with your audience fits in your game plan – why don’t we get in touch?

The Latest Web Technologies

Dynamic, interactive sites aren’t reserved for mega corporations anymore…

Blog Design

Gone are the days when only nerds blog. Blogging develops credibility, customer relationships, and trust.

Oh, and the search engines love blogs.

Whether you need a custom blog developed from scratch, or simply want Wordpress installed and matched to your site’s theme, I can help.

Social Media Marketing

Social Network Marketing: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and more. We can show you how to leverage the most popular networking sites for your benefit, or run entire campaigns to increase brand awareness and sales.

Facebook alone:

- 50% of active users log on to Facebook in any given day
- The fastest growing demographic is those 35 years old and older

Ever try to communicate with thousands of potential customers in a just a few seconds? How about for free? That’s the power of social media!

rainmaker3Web Design is like Fishing. Yes, Fishing.

Presentation and getting in front of the most “customers” is the key to a successful endeavor either way. At Rainmaker Web Design our goal is two fold: first to get an abundance of internet traffic to your site, and second, to provide you with the look and tools to convert them into paying customers and new clients.
