Web Site Marketing (Search Engine Marketing, Search Engine Optimization)

Domino Web Site Marketing and Search Engine Promotion
HTML Based Web Site Marketing and Search Engine Promotion

Do you suspect that you are losing business from your Web site?

• …because your Web site is lost among the millions of other sites on the Internet?
• …because your potential customers cannot find your Web site when they search for you in Google, Yahoo Lycos or other top search engines and directories??

Ark uses a clear, formal plan, expert tools, analytical methods and our substantial experience in order to assure that your Web site is among the first sites to be found when a user does an applicable search on any major search engine. This expertise is known as Web site marketing and search engine promotion..

We begin with an analysis of your home page and the major section pages of your current site. Based on input from your marketing and sales staff, we prepare a report suggesting to you the most cost-efficient keyword phrases, as well as certain site content and design changes, which will

• target qualified site visitors,
• improve your site's visibility with the major search engines and directories, and
• assure that your site attracts the audience which you desire
• assure that your Web site attractive both to the search engines, and to site visitors by providing them with useful, relevant content
• we identify the best external Web sites in which to place incoming links

After you (or Ark Consulting Corporation, on your behalf) have made the suggested Web site modifications, Ark submits your site to the major search engines and directories.

Then, allowing a period of 4-8 weeks for the various search engines and directories to re-index your site, Ark performs a follow-on analysis to assess the results and, possibly, recommends any further adjustments to your site.

Lotus Notes Application Design and Development

Ark is very experienced at defining the requirements, designing, and building large scale Notes applications. Recent applications contained eight to 25 databases. Our consultants are well versed in Notes, Domino, LotusScript and JavaScript and other languages. All consultants are certified by Lotus.

Notes and Domino Application Maintenance Outsourcing

Ark Consulting will relieve you of the burden of Notes maintenance! Free up your developers for new project work to help keep your company ahead of the competition.

Changing who does the maintenance of an application can be an expensive proposition for organizations because of the "ramp up" time it takes for a developer to understand the system and become efficient when maintaining it. We offset this cost by offering system learning time FREE when you sign a contract for one year or more.
