Professional, Visually Appealing Website Designs!

With all the web design companies and freelance designers in the San Francisco bay area, finding the best possible combination of talent and creativity that meets your business or personal needs can take some time. Not everyone knows what they're looking for in a new web design, so researching web companies portfolios and client lists may be daunting. If you need fresh ideas, with an elegant approach, then let the team of web developers at JVF Consulting, LLC take a stab at your project. Take a look at our portfolio and the many accomplishments we pride ourselves with. You will find the websites we deploy are both useful and enjoyable while implementing the latest in SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

Companies tend to impress visitors with solid site structure, precise navigation, and credible content. Most business layouts are usually quite unspectacular, mostly informative, and not attractive. At JVF Consulting we have figured out how to combine a serious tone with an attractive design. After all, who can resist gorgeous, professional, elegant and visually appealing designs which pay close attention to the details? Combined with the JVF Consulting Amass CMS (Content Management System) you can easily manage and maintain your site with fresh content while keeping everything simple, user-friendly, and professional looking. This is the most appropriate approach if you want to attract your visitors attention.

The internet and web technology is getting more sophisticated every day. Make sure the web design firm you decide on stays up to par with this ever changing world! If the web design company you rely on only uses one approach to all their websites, it's time to move on. Browsing portfolios of websites all using flash or the same outdated template is not professional at all. Set yourself apart from the rest, and choose a website company that will build you a custom site that will
not be mistaken for anything else on the web!

Peter Bruce: San Francisco Bay Area Wedding Photography

By Garrett Blanton posted on Wednesday, September 3, 2008 - (SEO)

Wedding Photography Meets Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

The award winning San Francisco Bay Area photographer Peter Bruce provides fine portrait style and fashion style wedding photography to new brides and grooms. To show off his artistry he had an elaborate flash website designed and built. After the launch of the website getting visitors to find him was a real problem. It seemed like Google was not cooperating with his website, and it was not being indexed properly. This is where the JVF Consulting SEO team came into play.

Peter Bruce's goal was to be featured on the first page of the Google search results for "San Francisco Wedding Photography and Videography". To complete this goal JVF assessed the optimization of his current website. Come to find out the current site was all flash with little content and all pictures. There were no keywords in the title, no description, and no meta tags that would benefit his search results. The framesets of his flash site were hiding content from the search engine spiders, no wonder his search engine results were so poor!

When Peter Bruce first launched his site you could build a website and people would find it because there weren't many sites on the World Wide Web. You didn't need optimization, or anything special, to help people find his wedding photography site. This definitely doesn't happen the same anymore, those days have changed! Now you need to make sure the search engines recognize your site for what it is. Just having a website isn't enough!

Do a search for the word "Photographer" and your search engine will return about 139,000,000 results. Be a little more specific and search for "Wedding Photographer" 3,130,000 results, better but still a mighty big list. Even narrowing the search to "San Francisco Wedding Photographer" yields 557,000 results. Realistically, if your Web site is beyond the third page of results, or even the second, your potential clients will never find you.

A word about flash websites. They can be gorgeous and showcase your work beautifully, but they don't receive as good search engine positioning as a standard HTML sites. This is because there is very little text used in building a flash site. If you are serious about getting good search engine results, and really want Flash for your site, think about having an HTML site along with your Flash site or have blog embedded into your site with an RSS feed, rather than being a standalone flash site.

With that being said JVF Consulting began work. We ripped apart the framesets and flash, and what was left was a search engine friendly site for all the spiders to crawl. Once the site was crawlable we began with all the basics such as a competitive title, description, keywords, and sitemap.

Peter Bruce's website now incorporates flash and copy to provide the best of both worlds. The end result is driving his search engine results higher on a daily basis and pushing targeted traffic to his site without the use of Adwords or Pay Per Click campaigns.

If you are seeking a wedding photographer with photojournalistic professionalism, Peter Bruce is your man. He is passionate about photography and passionate about providing top notch customer service. With a few clicks around his websites you will find everything San Francisco has to offer you. To get you started here's some informative links to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
