An effective web site is one that gets visitors
to stick around. After all, the longer your visitors are present, the
more likely they are to take the
action you desire. But how can you get them to stay? The answer is by incorporating
state-of-the-art multimedia design elements. Our team not only has the ability
to incorporate these attention-getting features into your site but also knows
how to do so effectively and professionally.
While a traditional
site of static text and graphics may be appealing, if you want to truly
grab and keep your visitors' attention you need to add some multimedia
elements to the mix. P. Jacobs can expertly incorporate the latest animation,
interactivity, audio, and video technologies into your existing site or
into one designed from scratch.
To enhance your
web presence, we can use Flash, Director, and/or a number of audio/visual
tools.
Flash
This Macromedia software is responsible for some of the most impressive and
interactive sites on the Internet. By combining sound and animation, Flash
develops a presentation that won't soon be forgotten by your visitors.
Plus, the brief download time means no annoying delays for your visitors.
Director
This powerful software tool delivers the ultimate in interactivity. With streaming
video capabilities, Director can produce learning applications, 3D presentations,
and more. Plus, Director and Flash can be used together to create a web
site that is as functional as it is innovative.
Audio/Video
Tools
Never underestimate the power of audio and/or video web elements. These sensory
experiences captivate browsers and keep them engaged until they become buyers.
Our state of the art audio and video encoding system streams your multimedia
presentations effectively and efficiently.

Database
Development

an integrated database. These vital applications will convert your static site
into a dynamic, changing presence that will be functional as well as attention-getting.
Most online applications work in conjunction with databases so they can be
a truly essential element of your web site creation.
Having
a newly-designed site doesn't mean visitors will automatically
flock to it. Even the most well-designed web site will remain
a well-hidden
secret without clever marketing. While part of that marketing
involves search engine optimization, there are numerous other
effective methods
available as well and P. Jacobs can show you how to take advantage
of them.
Putting
together a dynamic, interactive, and professional site is only
the beginning. Just having a fabulous site doesn't mean you'll
have visitors flocking to it. You have to spread the word and
one of the best places to start is through search engines and
directories.
The
truth is that search engines and directories are the first
places your potential visitors will go to find what they need
on the Internet. The more prominently placed you are on that
list, the more likely you are to attract their attention and
to possibly secure their business.
But
attaining prominent placement requires the efforts of experienced
professionals who understand how to make your site stand out
from the crowd in the listings. P. Jacobs's experts can help
you with placement strategies, registrations, and even monthly
assessments of your success.

Engine Optimization

engine friendly.

for Placement

on your marketing dollar, pay for placement listings are an excellent choice.

knowledgeable professionals can help you get started.
Directory
Listings
Search engines are only one part of establishing your web presence. Getting
listed in major web directories, such as Yahoo, is another. P. Jacobs can help
you get started in the right direction which improving your site's odds of
being included.

one of the most overlooked aspects of an effective web presence
is reliable web hosting. All the marketing and professional web design
in
the world won't help if your site is never available
to potential visitors. P. Jacobs can also supply you with reliable and
effective hosting
