As of today, the 2018 Tour de France bicycle race is through 15 of its 21 stages. A week from now we'll know who will wear the yellow jersey on the podium indicating the overall winner of this grueling event. Having a website for your business should be approached like riding in Le Tour. In other words, it's a process. It's a journey. It's not always the same. Just as the Tour has long mileage days, grueling hill days and time-trial sprints, maintaining your business website as an effective tool to support your business has different demands. Periodic checkups for search engine optimization, social media marketing along with all the other aspects detailed on our Website Lifecycle page are an on-going process. While some riders earn a jersey as top sprinter or "king of the mountains", you want your website to earn the yellow jersey as overall leader in your business category. Contact us today to see how we can help you get there.
Have a website that's getting a little long in the tooth? If your website was created more than a few years ago, there's a chance that it's not mobile-friendly.

If your site is tagged as such, this can have a negative impact on your site's position in search listings.
