When you buy something, you should own it. At least, that’s the way we feel. It’s unfortunate, but we still see a lot of companies that are locked into ridiculous monthly fees just to pay for routine upkeep of their website. Paying each month for simple changes to dates, images or page copy.

Changing website content used to mean that someone actually manipulated HTML code for the site changes to occur. Not anymore. Today, a standard feature on most websites is the CMS, or content management system. A CMS provides a point-and-click interface from which you can instantly add or modify content on your company website. Accessible from any web connection, a CMS lets you securely administer your website – for complete site ownership with no monthly maintenance fees.

Baytech has been developing websites with advanced CMS functionality since 2001. Named Silicon Valley’s top web design firm, Baytech develops websites using custom web applications that we’ve built to accomplish specific business needs (like a shopping cart or online payment system). Built as interchangeable modules, we can assemble a “custom” website that meets the specific needs of your business. And our web development modules all tie back into our Advanced CMS. So you get complete control of your custom website – without paying a custom development price or monthly maintenance fee.

Baytech believes you should own what you buy. That’s why we even provide you the complete source code for your custom web solution. We don’t even require that you host through our company – though you’d likely find that Baytech has aligned itself with strategic partners offering very competitive hosting rates. Still, it doesn’t matter; it’s your site, host it wherever you like. So quit paying monthly maintenance charges for an out-of-date website that you already paid for years ago. Call or email Baytech today to learn more about our Advanced CMS and custom web development capabilities.

As the web continues to evolve toward Web 3.0, your company needs to be sure it’s evolving its website development and online marketing to keep pace. Web applications are getting smaller and faster and need to function on mobile devices as well as laptops and desktops. Web innovations like social networking brought us into the current era of Web 2.0, and viral delivery models will continue pushing the web toward Web 3.0.

While no one is absolutely certain what Web 3.0 looks like, Baytech Webs knows that we’ll be there on the leading edge, driving web application development and guerrilla marketing strategies that deliver results for our clients. After all, we’ve been an industry leader for years. As the top-rated web development firm in Silicon Valley, Baytech Webs has helped develop more than 500 commercial websites, portals, intranets, extranets and mini websites.

Our dedicated project managers and web development teams leverage industry best practices to ensure that your project has the technology it needs to compete on the constantly evolving web platform. So, whether it’s custom web application development for your e-commerce site, online ad placements or viral marketing on social networks, Baytech Webs has got you covered.

Baytech Web’s team of professional designers, programmers and marketers can help you define your project’s strategy and objectives, oversee design and production, test for quality assurance, manage deployment, refine and optimize performance, and provide detailed analytics about your project’s performance.   

Innovation is the cornerstone of the web’s evolution, and Baytech Webs continues to track trends and deliver web development solutions that keep our clients at the forefront of the emerging Web 3.0 landscape. Call or email us today to discuss your company’s custom web application development, design or online marketing needs.

The amount of information on the web today is staggering, and getting your website noticed is only getting more difficult. Over a year ago, Google indexed its one trillionth unique URL – that’s 1,000,000,000,000 pages of content. And there’s even more. Google admits that it’s impossible for them to index every single page of web content.

“So how do I drive more traffic to my website?” This is a common question we get at Baytech. Unfortunately, there’s no silver bullet when it comes to search engine optimization (SEO). Each search engine uses different algorithms to determine content relevancy, and each industry’s top-targeted keywords have become very competitive—and expensive, if you’re bidding for them through PPC ad placements.

There are, however, a number of best practice SEO strategies and tactics that Baytech employs when we build client websites. These tactics include metadata tagging, search engine friendly URLs and creating optimized, relevant content. These are well known strategies and, of course, we integrate other SEO best practices into our web development projects—just give a call to discuss.

No matter your business though, from a large e-commerce site to a small niche player, most company’s can improve their organic SEO rankings by retaining a website development company that’s up-to-date on the latest SEO best practices.

Baytech is constantly reviewing the latest trends on SEO and refining our processes to improve our results. We won’t guarantee top site ranking like some self-proclaimed SEO experts might, but our track record speaks for itself, and our SEO strategies and best practices deliver results.

The next time your company is considering web development or custom web application work, be sure that SEO strategy is part of the scoped project. Feel free to call or email Baytech today to discuss your project and to learn how we can help generate SEO results.

Even though the internet is still relatively new, people expect a lot from companies they do business with on the web. For example, how is your opinion of a company affected when you visit their site and it’s down, or you get a 404-error after clicking a link?

Stuff happens. We know that, and we’re not immune to it. But there are some tools out there that can help your company minimize downtime while streamlining productivity. We’re talking about a website CMS, or content management system. A CMS provides a point-and-click interface to your website for dynamic content creation without worrying about “breaking code.”

The web development professionals at Baytech Webs have created an Advanced CMS which allows you to manage your website content with an easy-to-use interface designed to save you time and money. The content of our web development or custom web application projects can be edited and easily managed using our Advanced CMS.

Our CMS lets you do much more than just add, modify and delete content. We’ve built-in solutions that also let you measure and quantify your web marketing ROI. Baytech Webs robust CMS can even help you with digital content distribution, newsletter delivery and email marketing. Using a single interface, accessible from any web connection, you can securely manage content, broadcast your marketing newsletters and email campaigns, and track marketing ROI details like page views, open rates and click-through rates (CTR).

So quit paying someone to add a page to your website, change copy and images on an existing page, or to delete an old page – do it yourself with Baytech Webs Advanced CMS. Email or give us a call today to learn more about how you can minimize website downtime and eliminate maintenance fees while improving your web marketing measurement with our Advanced CMS.

Advertising on the web offers a more cost effective and targeted way to reach new customers than has ever been available. Nowhere else can you define, test and refine your ad placements and campaigns like on the web. Recent statistics show that nearly 75 percent of North Americans are on the web, which means more than 340 million people are waiting to see your ad placement – and that’s just in North America!

We all know that online advertising adds to the clutter of our daily lives on the web. As savvy marketers, our job is to improve our ad placement targeting and delivery to make the web work for us as cheaply as possible. We can accomplish this by eliminating the trial-and-error in our PPC campaigns. Baytech marketing specialists are focused on delivering PPC advertising results for your company.

Our marketing experts work closely with you throughout each aspect of your search engine marketing (SEM) and PPC campaigns. We work to understand your business and will help you select the most cost-effective keywords to maximize your advertising budget and reach. By managing ad placement and closely monitoring click through rates (CTR), Baytech professional marketing team measures PPC and CTR performance for your web advertising, tweaking each campaign to optimize your online ad spend. Of course, Baytech also provides detailed analysis and reports that show your CTR and performance of your ad placements.

PPC campaigns are an ideal addition to your online marketing mix. PPC ad placement lets you set daily budget limits, target ideal customer demographics and measure your advertising performance in ways not possible in other mediums. Let Baytech’s dedicated experts harness the power of the web to drive more traffic and leads to your website. Call or email us today to take the guesswork out of your PPC advertising.

Converting website traffic to sales is a game of numbers. If your message reaches X number of web users and Y of those users visit your website for more information, then Z equals the number of visitors who purchase your product or service and contribute to your bottom line. By increasing the reach of your message, you will also increase traffic to your site and, in turn, increase your company’s sales conversions.

At Baytech Web Design, our goal is to not only increase the overall reach of your message, but to do so in the most targeted and cost effective way. We employ a number of Web 2.0 and social networking tactics that can improve the viral marketing reach of your message to targeted audiences. But creating a legitimate “buzz” about your company or products on social networking sites requires timing, targeted keywords and brand consistency. If social networks like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn are instruments in a marketing orchestra, then Baytech Web Design’s guerrilla marketing experts are the conductors who turn those instruments into a symphony of sales.

Our dedicated team of web monetization experts can help convert more of your web traffic to sales by targeting specific audiences and creating a “hook” that drives them to your company website. Using SEO and social networking strategies, we can deliver more traffic to your site, improve your organic SEO performance and help you build and manage your online brand.

Nearly two billion people worldwide use the web today. The numbers are there for web monetization, but you need to deliver targeted messages through a concerted marketing effort. Let Baytech Web Design’s marketing professionals help you optimize your online marketing plan to enhance your reach, traffic and, most importantly, sales conversions. Call or email us today to discuss your viral marketing and social networking needs.

You’ve probably heard the expression, “the eyes are the window to the soul.” Well, if that’s the case, then the internet provides your company access to the world’s largest window store. Where else can you place a single message that has the potential to reach more than a billion people?

As a competitive business, your marketing goal is to grow sales by cost-effectively placing messages in the channels most likely to be viewed by your target demographic(s).

As the popularity of the internet and Web 2.0 have grown, the tools for web marketing have also become more robust and efficient. Strategies exist that can help sift your company’s message to the top of search listings; make CPC campaigns and ad placements are more targeted; and improve web marketing ROI.

So if you don’t already have a website, obviously, you need one. Baytech Web Design offers full-service design and development of custom web solutions to embody your company’s mission and goals. And if you already have a website, Baytech Web Design’s experienced web marketing professionals can help refine and expand your use of the web to improve site visibility and page views for your products or services. Marketing is a game of numbers; when more eyes land on your message, more sales are likely to be converted.

Effective web marketing doesn’t require a Super Bowl advertising budget either. We can help define your target audience on the web and work with you to create and deliver messages in the channels that are most likely to reach your audience. Web marketing can build your online brand, improve website visibility and, most importantly, contribute to your bottom line.

Get your marketing message delivered to more windows on the web. Call or email Baytech Web Design today to discuss how targeted web marketing can help.
