| Website Development |
Since the mid 90's the phenomenon of the World Wide Web has swept through the business world like few before it. Now it seems that all businesses of any size have a website or will soon have one.
The web has become the new platform for trade, commerce, information distribution, education, etc.. It is no longer considered a novelty by the business community but rather a necessity. Often times, the website is the core of the business with everything else revolving around it. Examples include Dell, Yahoo, Amazon, Buy, eBay, Google, among numerous others. These multi-billion dollar businesses were built from the web up.
Ocean Blue Web Development can build a custom designed website from the ground up or revamp your existing site. Our developers have years of experience with literally hundreds of web projects under their belts. Feel free to give us a call today to discuss your needs.
| Real Estate Solutions |
The Internet has revolutionized the Real Estate industry. A new era has set in where potential buyers now turn first to the Internet to do research, searches, view photos, virtual tours, and anything else they might want to know about a home, neighborhood, schools, lifestyle, etc..
Today most Real Estate agents have some sort of web presence be it a page provided by their company, a broker, or another source. Some agents have opted to build full blown websites for themselves in order to better reach new clients (sellers and buyers). There are numerous solutions to address the needs of agents and brokers. Ocean Blue Web Development can help you find the solution that is right for you.
| E-Commerce |
E-Commerce is a multi-billion dollar industry and has barely left the gates. Businesses around the world are seeing vast benefits by selling product and services online. It eliminates the boundaries of selling in just one community and allows for a virtually planet wide scope of selling opportunities.
See some examples of E-Commerce stores that have expanded their reach and sell to a wider market at University Connection and Salty Peters Shrimp Shack.
Ocean Blue Web Development can build simple to complex solutions ranging from sites that sell one or two items to complete online stores with thousands of items available. For more information about e-commerce please visit our E-Commerce section of the website.
| Community Forums |
Online communities have been formed for nearly every conceivable subject one can imagine. They empower your sites visitors to communicate with one another and provide much needed content too. They provide a powerful reason for visitors to return to your site, sometimes on a daily basis. Many companies use community forums, sometimes referred to as bulletin boards, to provide support for products or services they offer. Forums are a powerful form of communication and can greatly enhance many websites. Much of the information on the Internet today is posted in forums and thus can be an exhaustive resource for those looking for specific information.
| Video for the Web |
Broadband Internet is now more common in the United States than is dial
up. This means that more and more visitors are surfing the Internet
with extremely fast connections. This allows websites the freedom
of offering a wider range of content. One of the most popular and
engaging forms of content being displayed is video.
Video allows the user to experience the Internet in a powerful way. In our time of information overload, people tend to have shorter attention spans. Video can be used as a tool to grab attention and hold it. Every Real Estate agent with a website has pictures of their homes. How many have video of their homes? Really, video is the next big evolution in selling on the Internet and it is a relatively untapped resource.
| Professional Email Solutions |
Email is a great tool to do business with but it also
serves as a major headache for those that get thousands of pieces of
spam every year that they have to go through and manually delete. So
email can be a time waster, but it doesn't have to be. We can review
your offices use of email and provide workable solutions that will
save time and money and eliminate spam.
In addition you can get email at your own business domain name. If you have a website or even if you just registered a domain name, you can get email at that address. Ocean Blue Web Development can provide email services, spam reduction solutions, virus scanning, and email consulting in order to streamline your email workflow.
Every successful website has an ability to track where visitors are coming
from, what time of day they visited, what they may have search for in
a search engine, and other vital information. Does your current site
have this ability? Well, it should. Why?
Every successful business needs to review their successes and failures. They need the ability to learn from past experience and implement solutions to problems areas but also empower areas of their business that are proving successful. Having traffic analysis on your website allows you to see where you succeed and fail in finding potential customers. Every successful website needs these things:
- Visibility - People need to be able to find you.
- Flexibility - Are you reaching all potential customers or just a few?
- Value - Can people find what they are looking for at your site?
- Ease of Use - Do people leave your site frustrated by poor navigation?
- Indexable - Can search engines read your content? (Very Important)
With traffic analysis you are able to discern problem areas of your site and how to improve rankings in the search engines. We can implement traffic analysis tools for existing sites and we incorporate these tools in all new sites we build.
