Ft Lauderdale Web Design Professional

Greetings from Fort Lauderdale. I have been working with another company in the Fort Lauderdale area providing programming services for a few projects. The company I am currently contracted to is primarily a Graphic Design House. The Art Director at the Graphics Studio, which will remain un named for now, has many years experience developing concepts for some major corporations.

There are in house designers who are responsible for the great designs that this house is known for. I am blessed to be able to rub shoulders with the caliber of graphics that the guys are capable of. I have seen this as exactly what web design is all about. Web Design is the marriage of form and function. Great designs will encourage visitors to click through, great programming knows what to do with the clicks, and handle the customers visit appropriately. Web programmers are responsible for making sure that the path to conversion is clear and easy to navigate. This is of course cemented together by the desires of the website owner and the overall goal of the website. It takes a clear understanding of the objective in order to formulate a logical, intuitive interface that is attractive to a broad range of tastes.

For experienced web design professionals in Fort Lauderdale, you have come to the right place. Contact me through the sgprofl.net contact page.

FT LAUDERDALE WEB DESIGN

There are certain keyphrases that are extremely competitive and difficult for a new website to gain visibility for in organic search engine results. “Web Design Ft Lauderdale” is one such phrase. As a local web developer in the ft lauderdale area, it has been a goal to break into the top ten results for web design in the ft lauderdale area.

One thing I have noticed about the results for this keyphrase, whether in Google or other major search engines, you run into the same web design companies in the ft lauderale area. SGPROFL.net has broken into the top 50 on several occasions. Maintaining a relevant position has been more illusive than one would imagine.

The main thing that is consistent across the board with the web design companies that dominate the top of the heap, is that the companies have been on the web for a longer period of time and as well have more domains pointing back to them, than a newer web company. Some use alternate domain names to help improve the primary site, and many other techniques that can only be achieved with longevity on the web.

This is not to say that one should not try to break into this keyphrase, but rather look to similar key phrases that are also relevant to your business and is  a popular search term. Breaking into local search key phrases is often much easier than general or more broad terms. Put on your thinking cap and try to get more relevant keyphrases that are still popular with users, but less competitive than a more desirable keyphrase. Not accepting defeat, but realizing your strengths. Perspective is everything.

Greetings, just fixed the first fresh cup of coffee…after tinkering with a new domain. I have just taken some time to start tinkering with the JQuery Plugin, JQuery UI. Simply put, is a set of components that can be easily plugged in to typical user interface situations. In my quest to find a new Date Picker utility for a project( soon to be mentioned…) I was happy to re-discover JQuery UI. If you can program a Javascript popup, you should have no problem implementing this plugin.

One of the main reason that web designers utilize these plugins is to save development time on a project. Why reinvent the wheel for something as simple as a date picker. It would take at least an hour or two to program the time conversions ( all the possible time formats..etc…) compared to the minutes it took to download, install, implement, and upload. The documentation is very easy to read, with some neat features to customize your implementation. The nice folks at JQuery UI have even developed a page that allows you to style your download before you download it, to save a little more time…lol..nice work. http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/ is the link to the Customizer.

I will walk through the steps of the process and share a link to the live page for you to check out. I download the zip file, and extract to another folder. The page I was working on was already using Jquery, so I did not have to use the file provided with the download, I then copied the js file from the js folder to the js folder on my website. The next step is the css, I copied the custom-theme folder (contents are the css file and images folder) to my css directory on the website. The most important part of this process is remembering the paths to the appropriate files.

After you include the appropriate files in the [head] section of the webpage, there is some coding to include as well. You can copy from the index file in the download. This code is a javascript function that executes when the page is fully loaded into the browser. It simply assigns the appropriate components to the appropriate element(div or whatever container you choose).

Rather than past the code here, You can view source of the demo page for the code, feel free to comment or ask questions. Demo Link. Hope this post was helpful.

Search Engine Optimization has become, I wont call it an obsession, but a drive from within. I am constantly reading about different experiences and new updates in search engine trends. I have accumulated some seo success stories.  I have a great deal of success optimizing websites for clients. In particular, I have helped a few companies in Fort Lauderdale, achieve improved results in organic search results as a direct result of my efforts. Along the way I have learned what to do and what not to do. So what? You thought this article was about Web Design in Ft Lauderdale? Well, dear reader, the targeted local search for web design has been elusive since I first began to pursue this key phrase.

As a web designer in the Ft Lauderale area, I have been unable to get above the fifth page of organic search results for this popular key phrase, in Google. I was initially “obsessed” by this, but I decided to use some other keyword tools to find other key phrases with the same amount of search volume. So while I have not given up the fight, I have managed to find a way to wear down the opponent by striking from the side by using similar key phrases. If only placement in organic search results were a boxing opponent, this theory would , maybe, might work.
