Sonoma County Web Design

Complete Web Design Services in Northern California from the Wine Country

Whether you call it the Bay Area, Sonoma County, or the Wine Country, Solas Web Design offers the complete web design services you need. Though we work with numerous businesses across the U.S., it is an extra pleasure when we get to assist companies in our own community. Our office is located in the beautiful Valley of the Moon, just down the highway from the historic town of Sonoma, California, and every year our appreciation grows for the excellent people doing business in the North Bay.

What can we do for your Sonoma County web business?
Clients come to Solas Web Design because we insist on SEO-based website design. What does this mean in plain English? We're not going to try to sell you a fancy site that will never rank anywhere in the search engines. Unfortunately, a major percentage of designers are only skilled at making pretty pages. No matter how high-tech or lovely a website may be, it's not going to be of any use to you if it doesn't achieve the rankings that bring in the traffic that brings in the sales. Let's take a look at that again:

High Search Engine Rankings = Traffic = Sales

We have made a bit of a name for ourselves because of our no-nonsense approach to search engine friendly web design that is resulting in top rankings for our valued small business clients. Whether you need a simple presence to showcase your local Sonoma County services, or a full-scale e-commerce site to offer your products to the Internet public, Solas Web Design is committed to teaching you how search engines work, and why pleasing the search engines is an intergral part of pleasing your website's visitors.

Chances are, you will be doing some serious shopping around to find a web design company that's a good match for your needs. In today's Internet marketplace, any web developer you hire needs to be acquainted with how search engines work. The proof of their skill will be evident in how their clients rank across the 3 major search engines - Google, Yahoo! and MSN. Past work is a good indicator to you of what a candidate will be able to achieve for your business, and if they are a pro, they will never make a mystery of what goes into creating a worthy, valuable website. Client education is one of the most important aspects of what we do, and we are eager to teach you everything we know. *For more information about the basics of how SEO relates to your needs, we invite you to read our highly-acclaimed Simple SEO guide for the small web business.

Many Sonoma County businesses have yet to realize the potential of maintaining an Internet presence

The truth of the matter is that the existence of the Internet is swiftly changing consumer behavior. Every year, more and more people turn naturally to their computer when they want to find answers, services and goods, rather than lugging out that heavy telephone directory. Though it still makes sense for many local businesses to be in the phone book, as a business owner, you know only too well just how costly placing visible ads in the book are. If you are running a full page ad in the Sonoma County phone book, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise if you choose to get a quote from us for the design of your site. You will be looking at an investment that is a fraction of this cost for an advertisement for your business that reaches millions of people and lasts as long as you keep up the nominal fee of web hosting (about $80/yr). Being on-line is rapidly becoming what being in the phone book, or having a sandwich board once was to business owners in former times. At this point, however, we see that many Sonoma County businesses have yet to make the jump to the new technology. When new clients approach us, they often seem apologetic for not being more savvy about how it all works. We assure them there's no need to feel badly about this. The reason they are contracting with us is so that we can take the mystery out of the Internet for them. We'll make sense of why it's smart to get your business on the web.

We form lasting business relationships with all of our clients, and value the opportunity they give us to be such an important part of their worthy companies.
