    Web Design and Development
    ARK IT Consulting has been a pioneer in web development and has been in the web design business since 1997. The ARK IT Consulting web design team has been creating success stories because of its fundamental approach of first understanding the business requirements of a company. Its talented team consists of the right blend of creative, programming and copywriting skills. This enables ARK IT Consulting to provide a customized solution to every business need, for most budgets and deliver the best value for money spent. ARK IT Consulting attempts to work with its clients to establish short and long term business objectives from a website. Once expectations and budgets are agreed, it takes up the assignment with a clear understanding that the client has committed to an investment and proceeds to leave no stone unturned to make sure the client gets every possible direct and indirect result from the website created. The website is usually built from ground up so that it integrates well with your offline activities while giving you a high return on investment.

    The ARK IT Consulting Web Development and Web Design Expertise
    ARK IT Consulting has an experienced team of web design and web development professionals committed to delivering effective, high quality work well within budget and timeline.

    The team spends considerable time in understanding and documenting your requirements so that during the process of development there are no unexpected surprises.

    Since ARK IT Consulting uses its search engine optimization skills while building the site, a post-site building optimization, which can often be more expensive than the initial site building itself, becomes a trivial or non-essential task. Most web developers do not even think about making the site search engine friendly and leave clients to another round of optimization and often delay in results from the effort.

    While the ARK IT Consulting web development teams build solutions ranging from e-commerce solutions, content management systems, graphic web design, work-flow applications, database and dynamic content, community websites, portals, the company is also in the business of hosting, managed services, and customer support solutions. This gives you an advantage as the website it builds for you already have direct or indirect influence of ARK IT Consulting’ overall business range. The end result therefore is far superior and you get better value for money, guaranteed.

    Marketing & Search Engines(SEO)
     
    So you have a great looking website, but no one knows about it. You do not want your website to be a well-kept secret but a portal for your customers, and prospects. ARK IT Consulting does it by getting you on the front page of search engines.

    Search engine optimization, also known as placement and positioning, is the process of optimizing and promoting a website over the Internet for top rankings in search engines. Website optimization is the process of improving a website so that it tallies with search engine algorithms and thus stands a higher chance of quicker indexing and higher rankings. It's the first step in achieving higher rankings.

    At ARK IT Consulting there is a five-step process to make sure that the desired results are achieved for your website:
    The SEO process starts with a comprehensive review of your existing site.
    A detailed analysis of which algorithm your website abides by and which it has ignored is then worked out.
    Together with you, the ARK IT Consulting team identifies the key phrases that should be promoted with the search engines.
    Once the key phrases have been identified, the changes are made to the website. The implementation of the recommendations is done and the website is prepared to be received by search engines.
    The website is then submitted to search engines.
    This completes the SEO process. ARK IT Consulting continues to monitor your site on various search engines and submit periodic reports to you.
