Did you know that the companies that sit it out through these times come out on top of all the others?  How do they do it?  Simple, they alter their marketing!<span id="more-165"></span></p>
<p>Websites are one of the biggest marketing tools you can have in today&#8217;s world and should be the last thing you should be cutting out of your marketing mix.</p>
<h2>Website Design</h2>
<p>If you don&#8217;t currently have a website, expanding your business to the internet will broad your reach to new customers outside of your local market.  No matter what niche you are in, there is always a bigger market for it online.</p>
<h2>Website Redesign</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s time to dust off the cobwebs and polish up your logo.  A new website will show your customers that you are strong despite the times and will allow them to have more buyer confidence with your business.</p>
<h2>Where to start?</h2>
<p>When choosing a <a href="http://www.collinsinternet.net">Colorado web design</a> service provider, be sure to follow these tips:</p>
<ol>
<li>Beware of firms that outsource outside of the U.S.  This is an all too common practice.  Do you really want your information in the hands of someone on the other side of the globe?</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t hire your neighbor&#8217;s cousin&#8217;s 13 year old to develop a &#8220;web page&#8221;.  You want to select a professional studio that will be around in the long term and also you will want one that is customer oriented.</li>
<li>Beware of providers that tell you you can get a fully custom web design with a content management system for under $500.  There has to be a reason why the price is that low. Whether they are trying to force you into a long term monthly contract or perhaps they really have no clue what they are doing.</li>
</ol>
<p>Finding a good <em>Colorado website design</em> provider can be difficult.  Always ask questions if you don&#8217;t understand something and always remember that this is your website, not the designers.</p>
<p>Collins Internet is a <strong>Colorado web development</strong> agency based in Delta,Co.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When selecting a <a href="http://www.collinsinternet.net/">website design company</a> to develop your latest idea, you should consider the following myths that may come up in the initial sales stage:<span id="more-147"></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Submitting your site to search engines often is crucial!</strong><br />
There&#8217;s really no need to &#8220;submit&#8221; a site to a search engine unless the current year is 1998.  Search engines, such as Google, will find your website in a matter of days.  To get listed in Google, just have someone link to your site.</li>
<li><strong>You will need unlimited bandwidth.</strong><br />
This statement can be true,  only if you receive millions of website visitors a month and you have a site with a lot of large files or videos.  Otherwise, the typical website doesn&#8217;t need as much bandwidth or monthly data transfer..</li>
<li><strong>We can get you to the #1 position in Google guaranteed.</strong><br />
This statement may be true, if you are just Googling your business name and not the search phrases that can drive traffic to your site.</li>
</ol>
<p>Don&#8217;t be fooled by these ridiculous statements that are often spoken during the initial sales stage with a web design firm.  Just remember that the difference between a good salesman and a con artist, is the fact that the salesman can deliver what they promise.</p>
