As I mentioned, I specialize in startups and small businesses.  If you want custom graphics, then you should have a big budget for your website because the sky is the limit on cost.  But, graphics alone won't achieve page rank and you should know that in advance.  If you don't have a big budget, then continue reading and choose your Albuquerque web design firm carefully.

If you're starting a new business and want to use the internet to do your marketing for you, you'll need an Albuquerque web designer who has the tools to promote your website, not theirs.  Most web designers promote their graphic arts capabilities, but very little about how their design will promote your website.

I design websites for startups and new businesses for two reasons - first, I believe that small business is the engine that drives our economy.  Second, as a new business you don't have to invest thousands of dollars in a web site to get traffic to your business.

In today's environment good Albuquerque web design requires more than just good graphics.  Good Albuquerque web design  incorporates keyword research, possibly a blog, social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and possibly even user-generated content.  Good Albuquerque web design should provide you with all of the tools you need to promote your web site after it's published.

• Good Albuquerque web design requires a fast Albuquerque Web Hosting service.  Some Albuquerque Web Design companies are re-sellers of a web hosting service.  As a reseller, they receive a commission from the web host they provide and/or recommend.  When you talk to your Albuquerque web designer, ask them who they recommend as a web hosting service provider and whether they recieve a commission.  After all, the Albuquerue web design company you choose should be working to promote the succes of your business after your website is published, not theirs.
  
• Good Albuquerque web design also requires keyword research for search engine optimization.  Whether you ask your Albuquerque web designer to provide you with Albuquerque Search Engine Optimization services or not, they still have to research keywords so they can incorporate those keywords in the design. 
  
  Keyword research depends upon two things.  First, the keywords you think your market will be using and second, what keywords your customers are actaully using to search for you.  Some keywords are more competitive than others and if you want your website to appear in the search results, these need to be chosen carefully and incorporated into you web design.  Also, once the search engines begin crawling your site your targeted search terms may change over time but there are ways to adjust your website without performing a complete re-design.
  
• Good Albuquerque web design should also provide you with the tools for Albuquerque search engine marketing.  Some Albuquerque web design providers also provide search engine marketing services for a fee.  At a minimum they should at least provide you with written instructions as to how you can conduct your own search engine marketing campaign.  It's not impossible to achieve solid page rank through a good search engine marketing campaign but it takes time and there are a lot of businesses out there who will sell you a bill of goods that don't provide results.
  
• Good Albuquerque web design may also provide you with the tools for gathering user-generated content.  User-generated content saves you time because visitors to your website can provide the content necessary to achieve page rank rather than writing it yourself. 

As you can see, there is a lot to consider before investing thousands of dollars in the web development process. 

In the end, it's about time.  Choose an Albuquerque web design service who can make the most of your time.  

As I mentioned, this is not my "primary" web site.  My primary website is used for promoting the websites I design, including this one to prove that graphics don't make a web site.  Most web designers like to brag about how long they've been in business, but I'm not ashamed to say that I launched this website in October, 2009.  I've been designing my primary web site to build a web presence for Albuquerque's small business community.  I believe the problem with the economy isn't that there's no work to do.  The problem with the economy is there just aren't enough businesses.

I hope you found this information useful in your search for an Albuquerque web design company.  When you're finished asking the other Albuquerque web designers how they'll design a web site that will bring customers to you, contact Layman and Associates and then decide which Albuquerque web design service works for you!
