The visual design and layout is a key component in website development. A website is a virtual model or “snapshot” of your business and should at first glance convey your mission. The basics of what you do or sell should be captured visually by the user in the first few seconds of accessing your website. From there, clear navigation and uncomplicated display of information will keep your clients on your site.

:: You never get a second chance at a first impression ::

   OttoCode will work with you to manifest your website concepts into an effective design. Working from your logo, we will utilize colors, photos, and graphics to communicate your business vision and values, making a great first and lasting impression.

   OttoCode specializes in website application development; it's what we do best. The utilization of web applications takes a static site and makes it dynamic. Applications are tools such as: photo galleries, calendars, member only registration, password protected / restricted areas, credit card processing, online inventories, and search functionality. Depending on your website needs, an integration of a web application can greatly improve your site's effectiveness.

   Simple pre-constructed modules can be purchased and installed that may require only a bit of adjusting to meet your needs. Our custom website application development can be designed to adhere to all of your specifications and uniquely be created with your individual business needs in mind.

   Electronic Commerce is enabling small businesses to sell their products and services world wide. While E-Commerce is relatively young (been in use for about 12 years) it has and will continue to transform the way we do business.

   With the use of a SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificate, product categorized database, shopping cart, and encrypted credit card processing OttoCode can create a virtual storefront for your business. Reaching a larger customer base, your business can increase sales, track purchase trends, and meet the ever changing demands of your particular market.

   With the increasing popularity of blogging, OttoCode is proud to offer a wide array of WordPress designs, plug ins, and support. Our WordPress hosting solutions are also budget friendly. No need to reinvent the wheel; if an existing plug-in will suffice it is utilized or modifications can be made to custom tailor the functionality to meet your needs. Blogging is an effective solution in directing traffic to a site and putting content on the web. For clients that have something to say but don't know the best way to say it, we offer ghost writing services.

   Often times, our clients can't afford to hire a Marketing firm or Ad agency to create content (verbiage) for their website. OttoCode Ghost Writing Services enables clients to submit content in their own words and have them reworded to meet the demands of the intended audience. Our Ghost Writing Services are offered for all our clients' textual content from About Us pages to blogs.

We have witnessed first hand the challenges clients face with storing their sites on in-house servers supported by the local unreliable internet providers. We chose to store our clients' websites off-site, in the most secure environments, so that not if, but when our internet goes down, our clients' websites are still out there for the world to see. OttoCode Hosting packages include free update hours as well so you can maintain your website without having to worry about incurring hourly fees.

"What's in a name?" Everything!

A domain name is essentially your virtual address, and you want it to be easy to locate and remember. Like phone numbers, you can have more than one address to locate your website. OttoCode can assist you in finding the perfect domain name(s) for your site. We also will purchase/register and renew said domain name(s) on behalf of our clients, ensuring that you never loose your coveted web address because of accidental expiration.

   How effective is a well designed site if you can't find it easily? Aside from a simple and easy to remember web address for clients that have heard of you, Search Engine Optimization is essential in reaching end users who are searching for products/services in your market area.

   Utilization of proper key words and meta-tags imbedded in your site assists in recognition by major search engines like Google. Listing your site with major and market specific online directories is also a very useful tool in reaching your target audience. OttoCode uses these and other various tools to optimize your website and will generate reports for you on a quarterly basis to track visitors to your site.

   OttoCode offers website maintenance and support in “real time.” Our clients know they can get ahold of us no matter what time of the day or what day of the year it is. No corporate nonsense; you can call us and get right to us without worrying about a receptionist screaning your calls. If we haven’t heard from you in a while, we will definitely stop by or give you a call to make sure you have everything you need in your website. Should you choose to host your site elsewhere, we can offer maintenance to you on a contract or hourly basis, whichever meets your financial budget.
