I posted this the other day in the eons marketplace but after some consideration, decided it might be an OK entry for this blog - so here it is:

Howdy Folks.

When joining Eons, I had no idea or need to place any business items or even talk about business. I suppose this could be a warning instead of considered an AD, per se.

If you are looking for a web development company, you need ask only one question: "Is SEO built in?" If the answer is "No, not at the outset because..." you must NOT work with that company. SEO is an integral part of web development. If they are not interested in SEO from the beginning, they don't know beans about bringing business to the online community in the first place.

Companies that tout web development without all the SEO considerations IN PLACE are doing one thing and one thing only, getting ready to line their pockets with your dough, over and over again. If they can charge extra for it later, that is THEIR plan.

The same question should be asked of a web designer. If you like someone's style and want them to design your website, fine. Ask them if they will work with an SEO consultant during the process. Once again, if the answer is "NO" in any form, you must find yourself another designer.

You see, a website without SEO built in does you NO GOOD WHATSOEVER. You'll wind up spending your time building a linking system instead of working your business.

Here it is, and you knew it was coming, eh? LOL! I am a web developer. In every since of the word. SEO is built into every project we tackle and it's a no holds barred effort.

SEO begins when the url name is chosen and is a consideration with each step of the design, navigation system, structure and sustainability of each web site we develop. Without SEO consideration, a web site is one of the billions out there that no one finds, ever, with natural search in any search engine.

Give yourself a pat on the back if you read this whole diatribe and know that "NO" from any development company is not an answer but a $ sign in their eyes.

You can contact me here at Eons if you have an inquiry about web development and my companies.

Thanks for reading. Have a blessed day.
