Delaware Web Design - Websites That Work

Coastal Images Inc. has been an advertising & marketing company in southern Delaware since 1981. The company moved from print advertising and publishing to Delaware web design and hosting in 1996. We developed website solutions for many of our previous print customers and hired new specialists in web site hosting, Real Estate web design, small business web design, e-commerce web design, responsive mobile web site design compatible with mobile devices (smart phones & tablets) and search engine optimization.

We say we build "websites that work". That means that we know that if your website doesn't bring visitors and subsequently, customers, that you won't be our customer very long. So everything we do from the first page is designed to be easy to use and attractive to people as well as the search engine "bots" that cruise your pages and determine your search engine ranking.

When we get the customer to the web site we make it easy for them to get to the products and services that you offer. A productive Delaware web design must be attractive, easy to navigate and search engine friendly. That is how we will build yours.

E-Commerce Online Store Web Design

When you have a fair number of items, a brand and reliable supply it probably makes good sense to have an online ecommerce store or shopping cart.

People expect all businesses to have a website. Typically shoppers will use a search engine like Google to find a company’s website when seeking information about the products and services that the business offers. If they have an interest in a product that you happen to offer, search for you and don't find you, they may just look elsewhere. An online ecommerce website for your store can expand your market presence in your local area & beyond by making your products available to shoppers 24 hours a day all year long.

Beach-Net Buttons, Banners & Links - Internet Advertising's

Not all web design & web site hosting companies are created equal!

Now that you have bought your website, it's time to advertise it.

As part of our website design & hosting package's, websites hosted by Coastal Images Inc. Delaware Web Design include links in our high traffic flagship Delaware & Maryland Beach Guide website Beach-Net.com in order to benefit from 200,000 plus visitors per month.

Often websites that are not hosted by us will buy banners, buttons or links packages in order to benefit from the beach traffic that Beach-net.com attracts.

Town, Organization & Association Websites

These types of sites represent one of our biggest challenges as web designers. The objective for a town site may be simply to make town information public. An association may wish to simply link contact information for members. Organizational sites may advocate points of view and need an entirely different approach.

No matter what the purpose of the site it is important that the message gets across in a search engine friendly format and that the design encourages the sought-after behavior in the user. The days of simply slapping us a business cards worth of data are over. Visitors expect to leave with knowledge of the purpose of the organization, who is involved and how can they get involved if they want to.

So, it is tricky getting this type of site right. We need to sit down and diagram the aims and desired reaction to the information on the site before creating it. Once all that is accomplished, the actual site can be built.
