Even in today’s wired age, company owners are often intimidated by the internet and have trouble approaching it the right way. It’s a reasonable concern, as businesses have to rely heavily on their sites now if they want to compete, and even mistakes that seem slight can have a big impact on a site’s findability. Fortunately, a company doesn’t have to go it alone, as a development and marketing firm can help create and breathe life into a site, no matter what the owner sells. - [Why Business Needs Reputation Management](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/reputation-management/business-needs-reputation-management): It may surprise business owners that such a thing as reputation management companies exist in Houston, but they not only exist, they can save a business from avoidable public relations hits. Whoever said “there’s no such thing as bad press” didn’t see the internet coming, but there certainly are consequences to negative feedback and outright attacks online. There’s a reason why Fortune 500 businesses employ many people to keep their brand image positive. It’s because these businesses know how hard it is to regain consumer trust and confidence after they are squandered, and there are services out there to prevent that very scenario. - [WordPress Web Design](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design/wordpress-web-design): A Wordpress (WP) web design firm in Houston is the most effective route to building a strong online presence. WP is perhaps the most robust site creation tool that has ever gone mainstream, and with so many tech savvy people tweaking it and stretching its capabilities, it’s no surprise that it is almost endlessly customizable and powerful. However, the sheer number of options available can be enough to overwhelm anyone not familiar with site development. Even WP’s basic content management system (CMS) trips a lot of business owners up, handicapping their control over their own site. A Wordpress web design firm in Houston can help a company owner deal with that, offering the expertise needed to steer the site in the right direction. - [Why Should You Consider Conversion Rate Optimization?](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/conversion-optimization/why-should-you-consider-conversion-rate-optimization): Conversion rate optimization requires conscious planning and execution.  It cannot be done effectively with mechanical tools standard to the SEM industry.  Most generic web analytics focus on the number of hits the website receives.  This alone will tell an organization very little about the true effectiveness of the site.  Not all hits on the site come from human beings.  Many are generated by search engines and other forms of software.  In order to see just how many prospects are visiting the site and contacting the company after studying its content, we have to track the movements of unique visitors within the site once they arrive. - [Website Marketing for Houston](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/website-marketing-houston): Website marketing in Houston can mean a lot of things. When most companies think of improving their online presence, they think of search engine optimization (SEO). While it’s certainly true that SEO is a critical part of a company’s online approach, it is just one element, and there is much more to consider. As time goes on, and search engines like Google refine their ranking methods, it is becoming increasingly difficult to game the system. Fact is, if a business wants to be noticed at all online, they will need a smart plan of attack that only a professional crew can supply. - [Cloud Hosting | Dedicated & VPS Servers | Enterprise Hosting](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/cloud-hosting-dedicated-vps-servers-enterprise-hosting): Dedicated cloud server hosting offers many of the same benefits that traditional services provide, but can also offer additional flexibility for some businesses. Standard services make use of a single physical instance of the site, and for many businesses that is perfectly sufficient. Many companies, though, are moving their sites to the cloud, and some experts see it as the future of computing. What business owners will obviously want to know, though, is whether it is reliable, secure, and fast enough for their site. Fortunately, the answer is a complete “yes.” - [Why Should a Houston Business Consider a Houston-based SEO Firm?](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/why-should-a-houston-business-consider-a-houston-based-seo-firm): If a company wants their site to climb to the top of the competition, and become a trusted online presence in the Bayou City, then they should consider SEO services out of Houston. Although there are many ways to market a site, it is search engine optimization that many businesses are familiar with, or at least they are familiar with the term. But few people truly understand how to execute it because there are dozens of factors involved. And generating it requires a lot of manpower, which business owners often underestimate. - [What is an SEO company?](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/what-is-an-seo-company): The internet is a powerful tool for businesses of all sizes, and it will take a solid SEO company to bring it to heel for a company. Yes, it’s true that the web is a global marketplace, but it often feels like an impenetrable wall with no doors in sight. The fact is, as more and more businesses go online, the competition is growing fiercer, and it is no longer enough to just build a site and wait for clients to show up. So, what are the options? A business owner can either put in hundreds of hours learning how to market their site and take advantage of the web’s most powerful optimization tools, or they can skip the frustration and bring in an experienced marketing professional to steward the site. - [What is PCI Compliant Web Hosting?](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/what-is-pci-compliant-web-hosting): The term “PCI compliance” refers to observance of the standards set forth by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Council.  This organization was created in 2006 on September 7 with the intention of providing security for credit card and debit card payments.  These standards are developed by various card providers working together, such as MC, Amex, Visa, and Discover.  This independent security standards commission manages and administers the standards on behalf of these major electronic payment processing brands.  Enforcement of these regulations is handled directly by the payment card companies, not by the council. - [FAQ – Ecommerce](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/ecommerce-shopping-continues-growth/faq-ecommerce): What is ecommerce? - [Houston Web Hosting Help Local Businesses](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/houston-web-hosting/houston-web-hosting-help-local-businesses): A Houston based web hosting company is a must for any business looking to make an impact in the Bayou City, and picking the right service can enhance a site’s SEO and marketing potential. Selecting a poorly managed service can negatively impact a site’s ranking potential. Beyond that, it just makes sense to really consider what service to go with, because they are the primary gatekeeper for the site’s stability and content. Think of it this way – these services are like a road leading up to the front of a home. If the road is easy to travel and open all the time, then visitors can easily park their car in front of the building and enter. If, however, the road is poorly maintained or is shut down regularly, people won’t be able to visit. Now imagine what it would be like if an unreliable and amateur service was shutting down the only way to a company’s site over and over. Eventually, not even Google would want to stop by. - [How are SEO and Web Hosting Interconnected?](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/how-are-seo-and-web-hosting-interconnected): There is a significant link between SEO and web hosting, and a company ignores it at its own peril. Business owners are becoming wise to search engine optimization and the impact it can have on a business’s ability to generate customers. However, it can be a tricky thing to nail down, and exactly what steers it is knowledge that only Google has. The search engine giant, though, has confirmed that it does look at some factors that a hosting service can affect. It’s therefore extremely important that a business find a service they can trust, and not just for marketing reasons either. In fact, the company’s entire online presence could be threatened by poor service or a lagging site. - [What types of SEO Services Are Available in Houston](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/what-types-of-seo-services-are-available-in-houston): SEO services in Houston are like online gatekeepers to customers, providing businesses in any industry a chance to claim a top ranking in Google and garner additional visibility. The Bayou City is a notable home to top medical, law, and oil & gas businesses, and these fields are notorious for their poor online presence. It can be extremely difficult, for example, for a single doctor to stick out with the city’s many hospitals, or a single petrochemical firm to remain visible when there are companies like ExxonMobil, Halliburton, and Anadarko present. In fact, if a company doesn’t engage in any online marketing after they launch their site, or even before launch, they are likely to fail. That’s the rough reality of today’s internet, but it doesn’t have to end that way for a company. - [Why Kingwood SEO Firms Work for Houston Business](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/why-kingwood-seo-firms-work-for-houston-business): A top Kingwood area SEO firm has a strong presence in the Houston area, providing excellent marketing services to various businesses throughout the Bayou City. This secluded suburb is home to many medical and law professionals, such as doctors and civil attorneys. In fact, Houston itself is a major medical powerhouse and is home to many thriving industries, including oil & gas, petrochemical, construction and technology. Not to mention, few cities can match the world-class restaurants found throughout the region. In short, there are thousands of businesses in the city competing against each other, and that mean online visibility is essential to the company’s success. - [What SEO Services Should be Included?](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/what-seo-services-should-be-included): When a company needs to improve its presence online, an internet marketing firm can provide a full SEO service description for businesses in any industry. Any company that relies on their site to generate clientele knows the importance of improving its search rankings, but knowing about and executing marketing initiatives are two different things. Even for a savvy business owner, slogging up the search rankings can feel overwhelming, and it often takes more manpower than it would seem. That’s why more and more businesses are turning to experienced firms to help out the process, and it makes for a smart investment. - [Web Hosting Definitions](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/web-hosting-definitions): Definitions and Descriptions - [Houston Web Hosting](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/houston-web-hosting): There are plenty of places that can offer web hosting in Houston, but a company needs to choose a service carefully, or their site could go belly up in the blink of an eye. And even a stable service may not offer the speed and uptime a business really should demand. This is the kind of decision that has long-term implications for how the company’s site will perform, so it should be with a service that is willing to be a true partner, and not just a faceless provider. The difference may not be immediately obvious to a business owner, but as soon as there is a problem or a concern that needs to be addressed, a local service will prove its worth. - [Business Web Hosting Services in Houston](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/houston-web-hosting/business-web-hosting-services-in-houston): Companies expect a lot from their business web hosting service in Houston, and for good reason. Without reliable, responsive service, a company might never get what it needs from its website, wasting money and many hours in the process. Still, it’s surprising how many companies don’t realize the impact this kind of service can have on its bottom line and online presence. It’s the kind of blind spot that leads to organizations making dangerous decisions, like opting for cut-rate, or even free services. Companies that make such a decision will quickly find that they cannot rely on their site for much, and have less control over it than they should. - [SEO Services in Houston Best for Houston Business](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/seo-services-in-houston-best-for-houston-business): If a company wants their site to climb to the top of the competition, and become a trusted online presence in the Bayou City, then they should consider SEO services out of Houston. Although there are many ways to market a site, it is search engine optimization that many businesses are familiar with, or at least they are familiar with the term. But few people truly understand how to execute it because there are dozens of factors involved. And generating it requires a lot of manpower, which business owners often underestimate. - [Why An Ecommerce web development company In Houston is Important](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design/houston-web-design-firms/why-an-ecommerce-web-development-company-in-houston-is-important): An ecommerce web development company in Houston is a major partner to a business. It is responsible for putting together and maintaining the business’s site. It’s no longer possible for a business to attain sustained success without some form of online presence. Consumers adapt and adjust quickly to changing trends in online marketing and selling, and the statistics are telling. For example, nearly 60 percent of businesses have acquired at least one customer through their site’s blog, even though many businesses consider it an afterthought. And more than 80 percent have left a site due to obtrusive advertising, even though they thought positive of the site otherwise. In short, if a business isn’t constantly updating the way it does business online, it will always be behind. And that’s where design and development professionals come in. - [Why E-commerce Conversion Is Imperative](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/conversion-optimization/why-e-commerce-conversion-is-imperative): In the world of ecommerce, conversion rates and marketing are extremely important. Getting people to a site means little if they aren’t willing to purchase something, which after all, is why the site exists in the first place. But even if a site seems to be designed well, there is usually room for improvement, and even the slightest changes can produce major effects. Potential customers have plenty of options when they buy something online, so they will almost always gravitate to the sites that offer the best service and convenience. If a business wants to be competitive online, it will need to do everything possible to make those the focus of the site. - [Why In Houston, Online Reputation Management Is Needed](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/reputation-management/why-in-houston-online-reputation-management-is-needed): In Houston, online reputation management acts like a filter, catching the worst attacks on a company before they have a chance to do serious harm. Fighting back against people making false claims and bombing bad reviews against a company requires an aggressive, but smart approach. And it usually requires several approaches. Just ignoring the problem hoping it goes away and pretending that people aren’t talking is bad business. In today’s social media society, even enormous corporations can’t hide from the piercing glare of the consumer. - [Houston Web Design Firms](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design/houston-web-design-firms): There are many Houston web design firms, and those with years of experience should be the first choice for any business based out of the Bayou City. All too often, when a company decides to revamp its site, or create one from scratch, they are driven to agencies hundreds, even thousands of miles away. In most cases, this is because the company makes its decisions based on a portfolio, looking for agencies that produce bold sites. But most businesses need something else entirely, and there is no reason to go out of the area to find a good company to work with. In fact, staying local is a smart way to expedite the development process and ensure the company’s goals are being met with the site. - [Why Responsive Web Design Best Supports SEO](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design/responsive-web-design/why-responsive-web-design-best-supports-seo): SEO and responsive web design (RWD) techniques are closely linked, and RWD is almost always the superior choice when trying to optimize rankings. Of course, optimization is not the only approach to marketing, but it is an important one, and RWD helps a site out in many other ways as well. But what is RWD and how exactly can it help snare additional traffic? In short, it’s the future of the Internet and enables a company to present itself well on multiple platforms simultaneously. - [Why Web Design and SEO go Hand In Hand](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design/why-web-design-and-seo-go-hand-in-hand): Business owners have long considered SEO and web design to be separate entities, but they are tied together so closely that a site’s ranking problems is often due to poor site organization and construction. That doesn’t mean that site layout is the only factor to consider for ranking purposes, and it might not even be the most important one, as some experts believe content trumps all, but it should be a primary focus for a company. Over the years, search engines have become more and more particular about the kind of sites they will rank highly, and many of their current demands involve layout, responsive design and site organization and navigation. It’s a complicated process and there are definitely a few things to look for in a web design firm, but a talented firm will quickly prove its worth to a company. - [What is the Best Social Media for Business?](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/social-media/what-is-the-best-social-media-for-business): Company owners should always consider the best social media practices for their business, as it typically provides the strongest link to current and potential clients. One of the biggest mistakes that company owners make is trying to handle this aspect of their marketing. All it takes is a single misstep when communicating, and it can badly tarnish the company’s reputation. But Facebook, Twitter and Google+ aren’t only for building a company’s reputation, they can also attract people who didn’t even know the company existed, largely because these sites often function like search engines of their own. - [Branding in Houston Important for Local Footprint](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/branding/branding-in-houston-important-for-local-footprint): If a business wants to stand out in the Bayou City, they will need some of the strongest branding Houston has to offer. Setting up a company in a huge city is a double-edged sword of sorts. It is nice having thousands of potential customers living within easy driving distance, but the competition is much more fierce. And that means if a business wants to stand out, it has to take advantage of every resource it has. One of those resources, and perhaps the most valuable one, is the company’s marketing ability. With the right marketing approach, a business of any industry can make a mark and get the attention they need to attract additional clientele. - [Full Service Web Hosting Should Include Security](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/full-service-web-hosting-should-include-security): When a business wants maximum security, reliability, and speed for their site, what they really want is full service web hosting. A lot of company owners fall into the trap of cutting corners in this area, and they eventually pay for it. What’s worse, it may not be immediately clear that there is a problem, right up to the moment where the site suffers a major security incident, or the site goes dark unexpectedly. In short, businesses get what they pay for, and if they choose the cheapest option available, what they are really doing is giving away most of their control over the site. A premium provider, on the other hand, works with their clients to give them the options they want, while preserving all of the control that they need. - [SEO Houston Firms Best Choice for Local Business](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/seo-houston-firms-best-choice-for-local-business): An SEO firm in Houston can act as a hub for a site’s marketing efforts, strengthening a company’s online platform and putting them up front for clients to see. Look, everyone knows first impressions are important, and that’s also true when it comes to business. And the initial point of contact between a company and a prospective client is online. It’s odd how many business owners don’t get aggressive with their website and ensure it’s effective and a proper representation of the company. After all, no one likes to buy from a site that is defunct or poorly put together. Company owners should keep that in mind when assessing their site, and its performance. - [How to Choose a Web Host](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/how-to-choose-a-web-host): There is a whole lot to consider when choosing a web host, so a business will need to consider their decision carefully. Building and tweaking a site until it’s just right takes a lot of worthwhile effort, but if the site isn’t hosted properly, then it will all be for nothing. Fortunately, in today’s internet savvy world, address providers are no longer the impenetrable, technically overwhelming entities that they used to be, and a business should have no trouble finding a service that will meet all of their needs. - [Why Is a Strong Digital Marketing Strategy Important?](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/what-is-digital-marketing): Strong digital marketing practices are a necessity with today’s web, as there are too many sites fighting for too little attention. It doesn’t matter how compelling that blog is, or how nice the home page looks if the site isn’t built and designed using smart marketing practices. And a talented firm should be brought in to execute those practices, as a company would have to dedicate an enormous amount of resources to do it in-house. In general, bringing in a firm to manage the process is a smart investment that will provide returns many times over. - [Why Bad Web Design Can Cost Business?](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design/why-bad-web-design-can-cost-business): Few things can damage a site worse than bad web design, and yet it’s still so common among businesses with an online presence. It seems obvious that a company should put their best foot forward with their site, after all, a company probably wouldn’t paint their reception area with polka dots, or leave a number of offices empty. But major mistakes like these are common online, whether they are cosmetic or functional in origin, and they all have the capacity to damage the business’s reputation, marketability, and capacity to turn traffic into customers, or improving website conversions. Not every company owner is technically inclined, though, and that’s perfectly fine because there are professional development and design firms ready to breathe new life into the site. - [Why The Best SEO Marketing Offer Long-term Success](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/why-the-best-seo-marketing-offer-long-term-success): The best SEO marketing firm will be honest and offer sustainable results, not just short-lived (and often unethical) forms of attention getting. Bumping a site up the rankings is a labor intensive, technically complex job, and it’s not something that can be done without the proper expertise. But figuring out who is the real expert in the field, and who can just talk like one is the tough part. There are thousands of firms out there that promise results that are too good to be true, and it’s important for a company owner to spot them before they commit financially to a firm that is over their head. There are some signs of a forthright firm, though, that a business can latch onto and use to make an informed decision. - [Why picking a Deluxe Web Hosting is the better choice](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/why-picking-a-deluxe-web-hosting-is-the-better-choice): Deluxe web hosting packages can completely transform the way a business manages their site, and the extra cost is usually negligible compared to the superior features. Look, there are hundreds and hundreds of providers out there, and it’s always tempting to shop using price as a guide. It’s not wrong to consider price in the equation, but it shouldn’t be the primary factor. If it is, then a business will get what they pay for, and it will usually be much less than what they need. And sometimes, it’s worse than that because free and cheap services aren’t going to secure a site, or even promise consistent speeds or uptime. - [How To Update Domain Contact Info, Get EPP Code, Unlock Domain?](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/domain-name-registration/how-to-update-domain-contact-info): Updating Domain information is somewhat a difficult task, especially when the contact on file can't be reached. We have outlined some of the situations we see and hope this help to serve as a guideline. - [What is Local Search Engine Optimization?](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/local-search/what-is-local-search-engine-optimization): Local search engine optimization is one of Google’s most pressing priorities, and they are constantly tweaking their ranking algorithms in this area. Google employs a lot of people whose job is to forecast what its users are looking for, and the clear answer is people want results that are close to them. The rise of mobile devices has only fueled this desire, as people on the go want to know what businesses are close to them, and what they offer. It’s no surprise, then, that Google has several tools in its arsenal to help out area businesses, though they only work if a company takes advantage of them. - [What is the Process for Domain Redemptions](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/domain-name-registration/domain-remptions): Domain Redemptions were added by the Registry in the late 2000 as an added layer for domain owners. Prior to that time, domains that expired would immediately be passed to a domain speculation service. That service understood the cost of rebranding, and the material harm to a business that would occur if it lost its domain name simply because there were out of town, or out of pocket for a personal situation. Because of that they would charge several thousand dollars to give the domain back to its rightful owner. - [Domain Name Registration](https://www.verticalweb.com/domains): Vertical Web is proud to offer Domain Name Registration services and management through our Partnership with Tucows. Unlike many other Registrars who offer partnerships (Reseller accounts), Vertical Web has the freedom to work with our clients and provide the same great service that our clients receive through our other offerings. We offer all extensions but still recommend a .com or .net for business whenever possible.   - [Web Hosting Costs: What should they be?](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/web-hosting-costs-what-should-they-be): Although it’s practically limitless, web space has a cost, though compared to actual, physical land, it’s much less expensive. However, as in all things, site owners will get what they pay for, and if they pay for a sub-bar hosting service, they are taking a gamble with an essential aspect of their business. For many companies, a smoothly running site is no longer a luxury or a mark of excessive pride. It’s now a crucial way to build a customer base and get clientele informed of the company’s initiatives. That’s something that should be safeguarded, and cheap and free hosting services can’t guarantee that in the slightest. And of course, if a site owner is willing to partner with a premium service, they will reap a number of benefits that can put them ahead. - [About Web Hosting](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting): There is a world of difference between a deluxe web hosting provider and a free or cut-rate service. A company can hire a great web designer, market the site and reach its customers, but if it is trusted with an inexperienced gatekeeper, it will eventually come undone. The internet is like one huge neighborhood, and every site has an address. Depending on what service a company chooses, this address may be the equivalent of a luxury home, or a crumbling apartment building. And though there are many services to choose from, a business is going to get what it pays for, with few exceptions. If the company tries to cut corners in this area, they aren’t going to get the speed or reliability their site needs to be truly competitive. - [SEO and Reputation Management Go Hand in Hand](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/reputation-management/reputation-and-seo-go-hand-in-hand): SEO and reputation management are tightly linked, and search engine optimization is particularly important for ensuring a company’s online standing. Eventually, a company is going to make a mistake or deal with a volatile customer. How the company responds to this adversity will determine, to a large degree, whether or not they are harmed by the incident. All too often, small businesses ignore unhappy customers or bury themselves further with a poorly delivered response. Even companies that are filled with intelligent, capable people are capable of poor communication, and if a business isn’t careful, a rough tone or deaf response can go viral. At that point, it’s a nightmare for a small company. But such a scenario can be headed off well in advance with smart and responsive communication and marketing techniques. That’s where an experienced firm should take over. - [What is Digital Marketing About?](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/what-is-digital-marketing-in-houston-about): Digital marketing  involved process and encompasses much more than a few paid advertisements and basic SEO packages. While setting up shop in a major city like Houston or Dallas grants access to hundreds of thousands of potential customers, it also means competing with dozens of other businesses. That means any company that doesn’t establish itself online is going to get left behind, especially in a city that is as economically strong as Houston. With so many businesses flush with advertising dollars, rest assured that there are competitors out there right now firming up their approach to online marketing. - [Why SEO and Website Hosting Are Linked](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/why-does-seo-need-good-web-hosting): At first, it may not seem like SEO and website hosting are connected in any way, and it is true that ranking optimization consists of many, many parts. A reliable and fast hosting service, though, is one of those components and should be treated with the same care as any other business decision. With today’s rapidly expanding internet, free and cut-rate services abound, and if a company really wants to cut corners, they can go online for nothing at all. But that would be a mistake and could end up not only costing the company money, it could sink their online presence entirely and potentially set them back years. - [What Is an Unlimited Web Hosting Plan?](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/what-is-an-unlimited-web-hosting-plan): Lets face it web hosting can be very confusing. Words and terms are bantered about with very little definition of what they really mean. - [Why An E-Commerce Site Requires A Professional Web Design](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design/why-an-e-commerce-site-requires-a-professional-web-design): It’s tempting to put a website together without professional assistance, and at first, it may seem like a perfectly attainable goal. There are a number of easy to use tools and companies that can provide a design template and some basic e-commerce functionality. Still, it will quickly become clear why hiring a professional design firm, even with all these new solutions, remains the best choice for a business. Professional design is particularly important for companies that rely heavily on their online presence and want to stay on the cutting edge of web and mobile trends. - [Why finding a Reputable Web Hosting Company is Important](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/deluxe-web-hosting/why-finding-a-reputable-web-hosting-company-is-important): A commercial website is essentially a storefront, a portal to the outside world through which the company must constantly interact with clients and market their product. In a word, it’s precious. But a lot of businesses don’t handle their sites like the valuable pieces of data they are, and rely on cut rate, or even free hosting to manage their online presence. That’s akin to opening up a brick and mortar, filling it up with valuable goods and leaving the door wide open at night. It’s dangerous, and any moment, a site that doesn’t have a dedicated host service could be put out of commission permanently. And with it, much of the company’s profit potential. A reputable hosting service is the foundation onto which the site is placed, and should be a top priority when migrating online. - [What We include for $7.95](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/web-hosting-domainssign-up-today/whats-included-in-our-basic-web-hosting): We built our basic web hosting package to appeal to the majority of people who are looking for a quality Web Host - [Web Hosting Plans](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/web-hosting-domainssign-up-today): ACTWD is pleased to offer three web hosting plans that are designed to meet the needs of most business owners. Our plans have evolved though the years and we have tailored them to be price conscious, yet powerful. We recognize that there are other providers out there, some much larger than us. We firmly believe one size does not fit all or do we believe in withholding services that are vital to small businesses success. We offer personalized service to each and every client we have. We are experts in the entire process of owning a website. - [WordPress Hosting](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting/wordpress-hosting): Managed WordPress hosting is something that many businesses will eventually migrate to, and for good reason. As one of the most open ended and powerful e-commerce platforms available, WordPress (WP) has spawned an incredible number of plugins and applications. This, along with the unique challenges the platform raises, has created the need for services that secure and oversee sites that are built using the tool. After all, when something goes wrong with the family car, a dealership familiar with the make and model will usually provide the best service. In the same vein, it is best to use a service familiar with the ins and outs of WP when managing a site created using its platform. We help our clients solve their WordPress issues and act as an in-house IT team. Whether you are a designer or a business and need help, we do what we do best. We Make The Web Work.  - [WordPress vs. Shopify](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-hosting-domains/ecommerce-shopping-continues-growth/wordpress-vs-shopify): Nowadays, anyone can start a business online in no time at all. The creation and improvement of various online commerce platforms has led to an explosion of small companies taking to the web, which has led to even more e-commerce platforms and plugins. In short, business owners now have a wealth of options when they migrate online, but choosing one can be exceedingly difficult. Not many companies have the in-house expertise to manage an online commerce platform and make informed decisions regarding web design, online marketing, and search engine optimization. One platform, in particular, has stepped up to help out these business owners: Shopify. - [Branding](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/branding): There is a direct correlation between effectively branding a company and the ability to rank well in SEO. Each aspect of the marketing process is important on its own, but the one-two punch creates the kind of continuity of message that optimizes how customers find what they are looking for online. - [Content Marketing](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/content-marketing): The average consumer is growing wise to traditional methods of selling product, and what once worked is quickly becoming obsolete. Online, people ignore banner ads and pop-ups and know how to find the stuff that matters to them most, and that’s where content marketing comes in. This method of brand creation and building aims to produce the kind of material that people appreciate seeing. Instead of bombarding potential customers with messages to buy, buy, buy, which is increasingly regarded as spam, this technique offers information, photos, graphics, and other elements that people are likely to consider valuable. - [Pitfalls of a Brochure Website](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design/pitfalls-of-brochure-websites): It’s almost cliché to say that the internet evolves quickly these days, but it does, leaving once popular options like a brochure website in the past. This term refers to a site that is built around aesthetics, and not functionality or optimization. When the internet was young, it was a popular and effective option for individual creatives and businesses that wanted to establish a strong brand identity. With the rise of content marketing, search engine optimization, and social media marketing, businesses that rely on this option are setting themselves up for failure. - [Organic Rankings vs. Pay Per Click](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/organic-rankings-vs-pay-per-click): One of the most important decisions a company will have to make once it has its site online is whether to push for organic rankings on search engines, or to engage in pay per click advertising campaigns. The former is typically accomplished with a combination of search engine optimization, content marketing, and a few other secondary marketing methods. Pay per click advertising, on the other hand, only requires a financial commitment, though it must still be monitored closely by a professional, or it can quickly get expensive and become ineffective. - [Basic Web Design A Great Choice For Business Looking To Start](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design/basic-web-design): After months of hard work, a business is finally hitting its stride and the owner realizes that it’s time to expand its outreach and, by extension, its customer base. But how should they go about it? A website is an obvious choice, and more and more company owners recognize its importance, but what business owners often underestimate is the power of basic web design. After all, why does it matter how nice a site looks, as long as it’s functional? As it turns out, the way a site is laid out and presented means a great deal, and can make or break a site’s performance. - [Link Aquisition](https://www.verticalweb.com/Link-Acquisition): What Links? Why Links? Where Links? - [Citation Management](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/citation-management): Proper internet marketing consists of lot of little things which add up in a big way, and citation management is among the most essential. It may sound obvious, but the company’s information is important, and search engines will treat it as such. It falls to the company, then, to make sure this information is correct everywhere it is listed. That’s all, though, because there are many, many directories on the web that can provide a boost to a company as long as they get listed. And it may not sound like a lot of work, but new directories are added all the time and hunting them down can be taxing. Fortunately, it’s something that a marketing firm can take over and steer for a business. - [Local Search](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/local-search): Small businesses don’t need a global presence to maintain their clientele, and that’s why so many aim for Google Local when reaching out to potential customers. Interesting point is that over 50% of all local search results in a sale. A sprawling corporation has hundreds of markets to worry about, but for a small company, they only need to concern themselves with a handful, if that many. For these businesses, it’s not about bringing in as many people as possible online, it’s about finding the people who are likely to patronize the business. And doing that means targeting search results to people who are close by. - [Social Media: Twitter Re-Emerges As SEO Must](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/social-media/twitter-re-emerges-as-google-must): As everyone tries to find ways integrate social media, Twitter is one again extremely relevant. The link between SEO power and Twitter is a complicated one that spans many years, and it figures to be a major aspect of internet marketing going forward. It’s no secret anymore that social media has a major impact on a site’s rankings, and it has begun eclipsing many traditional methods of internet marketing in its capacity. In fact, seven of the 10 most important factors in ranking sites concerns social media, so any business that ignores it does so at its own peril. - [Web Design Houston: Why choosing Local Is Important](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design/web-design-houston-choose-local.html): When it comes to finding good resources for web design Houston is a great city to be in. Not only is it the fourth largest city in the country, it offers diverse talents for any company that needs an effective presence. - [Social Media](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/social-media): Until recently, social media was just an online playground for teenagers and attention seekers, but smart business owners now realize the incredible potential it has. Most company owners understand the power of instant feedback, and how sites like Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Yelp, and Foursquare can provide it. However, feedback is not the only benefit such outreach offers, as it can provide excellent SEO benefits as well, making it much easier to attract new customers and boost a company’s spot in the all-important search engine rankings. In effect, it’s much like a giant digital snowball that can provide impressive returns once it gets going, but it does take effort to get it started. - [Billing](https://www.verticalweb.com/about/billing) - [Free Website Evaluations](https://www.verticalweb.com/free-evaluation-SEO.html): ACTWD believes in small business owners and strives to help support them as much as we can. We offer free training classes thought the Kingwood and Houston area and have found of of the most popular services we offer is our free SEO report - [Reputation Management](https://www.verticalweb.com/digital-marketing/seo-services/reputation-management): Nothing is more important to a company than how people perceive it, which is why reputation management is one of the fastest growing areas in brand maintenance and awareness. It isn’t a new concept, as businesses have long strived to interact with their customers in a positive way and generate positive feedback. Until recently, though, such feedback was delivered through newspapers, radio, television, and other slow moving media. Today, the internet dominates the conversation, and if a company does not monitor their reputation online, public opinion may get out of hand before a business even has a chance to respond. - [Terms Of Service](https://www.verticalweb.com/policy.htm): ACTWD is a leader in creating and servicing domain names and web sites for Internet users throughout the nation. In order to effectively continue its purpose and create a business relationship between ACTWD and its Customers, ACTWD has set forth the following terms and conditions which shall govern this Agreement between the parties.

For years, personal and business sites only had to be built a single way, for a single device, and users generally tolerated pages that were perhaps a bit too big or small for their screen. That’s no longer the case, as the differences between a PC monitor, tablet and a smartphone are so stark that a new form of design had to be produced. Known as responsive web design, it’s an approach that modern site creators take as it provides a superior mix of adaptability, aesthetics, optimization, and compatibility with various SEO tools. - [Why Local Kingwood Web Design Helps Business](https://www.verticalweb.com/web-design-kingwood.html): Houston-based businesses that want to improve their online presences will be best served by a web design firm out of Kingwood or other parts of the Houston.

Potential clients are looking for businesses on their phone or tablet, and any company that ignores these devices is passing up on business. So, put together a mobile version of the company’s site, right?  That is the correct approach, but many business owners find that going mobile raises as many questions as it addresses. Perhaps the most pressing concern among them is, how will the site look on mobile devices, and will it be easy to navigate? That’s where the decision of responsive web design vs. adaptive web design comes in. - [Reviews of ACTWD](https://www.verticalweb.com/testimonials.html) - [Review ACTWD](https://www.verticalweb.com/reviews.html): If your happy with the service you have received from ACTWD Please feel free to take a moment and review our service. - [Conversion Optimization](https://www.verticalweb.com/conversion-optimization-SEO): Conversion optimization  is relatively new as a unique discipline from the SEO side of things.

Many of them are case studies of problems that we have solved for them. Going on 18 years there have been many, and we continue to add them as we go: - [Web Design Services](https://www.verticalweb.com/Web-Design-Services): A quality website that is built correctly using basic web design principles is one of the most powerful tools there is in any company's arsenal. There are multiple ways businesses think about their websites. Some want very artistic sites that have moving objects and flashing banners. Others are run by their IT departments, or by a family member that may know how to use a computer. Lastly, there is a group that thinks a basic brochure will service their business just fine. There was a point in time that any three of those approaches might have been correct, but web design has evolved. The mistake that many web designers and IT departments make is they don't have a holistic approach. It used to be that building a website was all about the aesthetics and little else. Since 2012, the move has been more towards building a brand and having the website support that brand. That doesn't exclude small business. And it doesn't need to have a large pile of cash attached to it. At ACTWD, we have a holistic approach to every website we build. Sure we design our websites to look great, but we also makes sure the elements required by Google's guidelines are included.  View our portfolio here.   This is far beyond title tags and meta keywords (which stopped being a ranking variable in 2008). We understand what Google is looking for, and that gives each site we design a better chance of ranking. We are also aware of how a user interacts with the website. There are of course the basic elements, like is there a phone number and how do you contact the company? But a designer should be concerned with what the user does when they arrive at the site. What goals does the website have, and how are we helping meet those goals? As bounce rate and user experience are now factors, the web design elements have to incorporate that. We are also on the verge of a new chapter of web design, which is responsive website design. As of April 2015, Google says it will now be factoring how mobile-ready a site is into its algorithm, which means that design firms now have to consider mobile devices when factoring in their web design. If they don't, it's at the clients peril. There are a few ways to do this, but we believe in responsive web design and have explained our viewpoint in a blog post on responsive web design. This is an important element of every site moving forward. ACTWD believes in the uniqueness of each website we encounter. We also believe that each website owner should be empowered to control their own websites, if they choose. We price each website custom-based on the size and scope of what is needed and give our clients the opportunity to work within their budget. Regardless of price, the core principles that will allow a website to succeed are never neglected.
