What a lot of people don’t know is that you can achieve this. More people don’t know how. This may be good news for you as long as you are in the know and you competitor is not. SEO (search engine optimization) is the answer to this question. By giving serach engines what they want to see, you can drastically change the ranking of your website. There are many minute ways to make an improvement. Updates, blogs, small changes can make a world of difference. Here at Effect Web Media, we are very educated in the practice of SEO but we are not the experts. We leave that to our affiliate in Chicago. 1st Page does an outstanding job getting websites to the top. Their work is priceless. Once upon a time all it took was a sneaky tactic of keyword cramming- that is plastering your keywords all across your website in the same color as your background so they go undetected to the user - now however, SEO is a science. Let us guide you and you will see the success.
Each website developed by Effect Web Media is custom built to reach our client’s goals. Our first step is to get to know each client. We sit down with our clients & discuss their business & their goals. We want to know what they envision their website doing for their company. We are constantly moving forward with our clients, making a move to accomidate the needs of the customer & client. Rather than waiting for a problem or revelation, we listen to our clients goal & needs as well as the needs of their customers. Consider what we do a game of chess, always looking ahead & making the first move. We consider ourselves unique in the way that we do work closely with our clients before they are ever our clients, when they do become our client & once the web site is up & running. This is not the type of business to make a product & send the customer on their way. Whenever we discover a way to improve a website we let our clients know. They can come to us with any ideas as well. Our goal is our clients growth, the work we do & the results we produce display our work ethic & integrity & also who we are.

The Wii was officially released yesterday. None of us got our hands on one but we wait with anticipation. The Wii is receiving awesome reviews by it’s new users. Prices have more than doubled on Ebay sales but not nearly as high as I had anticipated. That’s a good thing! It is a shame that people buy them just to make a buck or rather, double or triple their money but I guess that’s how the game goes. Supposedly 3 PS3’s in a bundle sold for $15,000.00. That’s madness! We all decided to wait out the hype & buy a Wii at regular price. It will a great way to relax & maybe even get some extra exercise since you move around alot of the time while playing. I know we are excited & can’t wait to play. That’s what we are doing though, waiting!
A huge part of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is constantly updating your website. Once upon a time all it took to get high rankings on websites was to hide keywords across your website a million times. Not true anymore. You can practically consider a search engine now having the intelligence of a person. As if someone is looking at your website & monitoring the changes being made. We put this practice to good use often. Our website has been completely revamped multiple times in the three years we have been in business & we are constantly making minor changes. We turn to the experts when our clients have SEO needs. We have have the intelligence & know how but not the expertise. We have a SEO expert located in Chicago that does great work. They carefully analyze each clients situation & gives them the full details as to whether their website can make it to the top. They work perfectly with our own work ethics & we are proud to be associated with them. The company is 1st Page & you can check them out at 1stpage.com.
You may or may not know how popular The Sims game is. The only way you don’t know this information is if video games do not interest you once so ever! Now there is Second Life. Similar to the sims only you can walk, run or fly to a ton of different destinations. We like to read up in this sort of stuff to stay in tune with other types off innovation besides web development, you never know when it may strike inspiration. Here’s the kicker for Second Life. You can purchase money in the game which the currency is ‘Lindens’ with real money. It averages out to about $1 U.S. dollar = $250 Lindens. After that, it’s all down hill. You create your player, dress them, change their hair, give them tattoos, make them have muscles… anything you can imagine. Take your player to a club, a bar, a retaurant, they can even get married, and it can all be bought for a price. Thankfully you can join for free & are not required to partake in the the madness of spending imaginary money with real money. That’s for players like us. So, it does provide a well deserved break from reality. However, I don’t recommend spending too much time there or you may forget what is really important! It is a cool concept, a good design, & it is amazing it runs so smoothly with over 1 million users. Plus, someone out there is making a boat load of money off of subscriptions!
We can’t deny it, we here at Effect Web Media are all gamers at heart. When Nintendo releases a new console, we perk up. This time they have our full attention. The Wii is sure to be everything we are expecting. Their marketing is genious. They include all age groups, genders, everyone, which is in fact a reason it was named- the Wii! Full motion games that use the innovative controls are going to rock up gaming parties. Yes, gaming parties do exist! You know what they say, all work and no play…. We would like to remind everyone to find something that brings joy to their lives. No, a gaming console does not top the list for us, we fully believe in things of much more importance; however, it is a great way to bring people together. All I really can say is, Wii can’t hardly wait it’s arrival!!

Effect Web Media, Inc. began as a home run business nearly three years ago. We focused our services on a global basis. We have had & still do have clients across America and a couple in the UK. Almost a year ago we decided that we were missing out on clients right in our back yard. South Bend, Fort Wayne, even Warsaw and Winona Lake. Some potential clients ask us how we are different. A question with many answers, but one that means the most to our ethics and success. The reason we are in business is to help others. We help businesses succeed and grow which we immensely enjoy, however even more importantly than all of this goes beyond our business. Our vision is to help others through our business by gaining extra time and finances to help others outside of the business world. A vision not typically thought of. We have a heart for missions and people across the globe less fortunate. It is a struggle to convince the world that you are honest, that you will fullfill what you promise, but that is what we do and it is who we are. Check out our portfolio and feel free to contact any of our clients, we encourage it!
New technology is constantly being developed, improving & solving problems previous technologies have raised. When developing website content, the pages should still work with older browsers to ensure that users with restraints will still be able to view the content. For instance, documents should be organized so they can be read without style sheets. An example of this is is when a HTML document can still be read when it is rendered without associated style sheets. Another example of accessability is ensuring that when the dynamic content changes, that the equivalents for the dynamic content are also updated. When applets, scripts, & other programmatic objects are not supported or turned off, ensure that the pages are still usable. Provide equivalant information on another accessible page if it is not possible to make sure the pages are still usable.
More tips for better website content when considering web site accessability. Effect Web Media, Inc. works hard to learn about topics such as this so we can guarentee an effective website all your visitors can view.
