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.
