New St. George, Utah Web Design Firm Helps Businesses Develop Websites that Work

Google is the new phonebook. Businesses that don't have a strong and compelling online presence are missing out on a huge opportunity.

2012-04-13

ST. GEORGE, UT, April 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) According to Internet World Stats, visitor growth on the Internet in North America was 152.6% between 2000 and 2011. There are now over 100,000,000 Americans that use the Internet every day and Google performs over 3,000,000,000 daily searches worldwide. These are more compelling reason for businesses to have a strong Web presence.

Businesses need to treat their online presences just as importantly, if not more as having a physical store. Too many business owners treat their websites as an online brochure, which do little to attract customers. A successful business Web presence requires time, attention, and investment for it to work.

Amazon.com is a multi-billion dollar business that was built on online sales. The Web has become the biggest store on the planet. It is also the new phone book, but offers businesses much more than just a directory listing and advertising.

If a business does not have a visually appealing and contextually rich site that is frequently they are likely missing the opportunity to attract and retain many new customers. But having a great website design and usability are only one part of the equation.

A website needs online marketing for it to attract search engines and customers. Without marketing, a website is like a store on a street without any traffic. Businesses need to rank highly for organic search terms important to their business. They need to be on the Google Places map for their location(s). They need a highly visible and engaging social media presence.

About Ascent Internet: Ascent Internet helps customers design, develop, and market websites that attract customers. They offer professional web design, development, custom WordPress blog, search engine optimization (SEO), pay per click advertising (PPC or SEM), and other Internet marking services for businesses. They also set up and manage social media pages that can make an impact.

Ascent Internet is based in Southern Utah and principally provides St. George web design and SEO services. The company is a new member of the St. George Chamber of Commerce. However, the company assists clients across the country and offers a free consultation. You can learn more on Ascent's Internet marketing blog.
