Don't let anyone fool you, building a website that meets business and design objectives is not easy. There is a lot of time, experience and knowledge that goes into a successful website.

 

BlinkTank's  leading character has had over 30 years of a successful and eclectic business journey. His career has ranged from designing, building and running a jazz club in Austin Texas, to many successful years in the technology industry as a senior executive in business development, marketing and sales. He has touched on almost every facet of the small and medium size business experience.

 

He stepped off the fast moving train 10 years ago, relocating to a small mountain town where he "fell into" designing and building websites for friends and for an occasional trade. His knowledge of business, coupled with his ever expanding skills as a designer and developer, have proven to be an effective combination for offering our clients a complete turn key and successful website adventure.

 

With his current primary residence in Homer, Alaska. He shares time in Austin, Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada with family, friends and clients. Truly an Internet based business, BlinkTank Studios uses the necessary online tools to make it seem like we are right around the corner. Over 80% of our business comes from referrals. We believe this is a testament to the quality of work we produce and our desire in placing our clients needs in development and ongoing support at the top of the list.

 

Why build, re-build or even have a website?


Because today your website is your #1 piece of marketing collateral.


Recently Microsoft issued the following numbers on Internet usage:

• 86% of searchers start at a major search engine when shopping online.
• Even when consumers plan to purchase offline, they often go online first.
• 42% of retail sales in 2009 were online or “web-influenced”.
• 63% of consumers use the internet to find local businesses.
• 44% of local businesses have a web site.
• 50% use search engines first for local business information.


 

So why do so many companies have poorly designed and non-performing websites?

~ They have yet to comprehend the many benefits of a successful website.

~ They got what they paid for and are unwilling to spend more.

~ They did not know what they wanted and were unable to provide direction.

~ They simply chose the wrong person/company/companies to design and build their site.

 

What you can do:

~ Identify what you want your website to do; generate leads, provide information, sell product online, etc.

~ Be able to describe, or show, the look and feel you desire for your website.

~ Research and set a reasonable budget.

~ Count heavily on friend and associate referrals who have a successful web presence.

"When it comes to your web presence, the only thing more expensive to your business than a well designed website is a poorly designed website...or no website at all!"

Primary Services:

 

Design

Great design is in the details. Design must also support functionality, and vice versa. One can't, and shouldn't, be used to overcome the weaknesses of the other. Design is more than just choosing colors, typefaces, shapes, and images. Good design works to present information in such a way as to support the information it presents.

 

Develop

We specialize in XHTML and CSS front-end web development with some Java Script.  We also build with a PHP based content management system integration, for easy site maintenance.

 

 

 

Host

We have servers hosted by either HostGator or ViaWest depending on the content management system used and the website requirements.
 

 

 

Supporting Services: 

Supporting services are the services that can enhance, optimize or support your website over and above our primary services. We can provide these services to a certain level of complexity and if required have strong working relationships with experts in each of these fields as well.

 

SEO

 

Search engine optimization (SEO) along with Search engine marketing (SEM), are critical to your websites success. Building a great website that nobody sees is like building a great billboard and putting it in your basement! There is a general base level of work that is provided with each web site we build. From that point we will discuss with you how you intend to drive traffic to your site then provide you our services and recommendations on how to go about doing this.

 

Facebook set up and training, social media marketing, blogs

 

In today's world your website can be the central component of a much larger web presence. Facebook and other social media sites are becoming standard pieces in a brands presence and require a strategy, set up and ongoing participation in order to build your sphere of influence and visibility on the Internet.

 

Graphics

 

We do most of the graphic work for our sites and have developed logos for clients when asked. 

 

Writing

 

We usually consult on the writing of web copy and have a number of talented writers available when needed.

 

Website/Business Consulting
 

We know a lot about websites and although we would like to build yours, there may be reasons that we cannot. In that case we are more than happy to help you understand the many aspects of designing, developing, hosting and maintaining a successful web presence. We can also help as a consultant project manager on a web site that requires our level of expertise.

The websites we build basically range from $1,200 up to $10,000. Price is dependent upon complexity of design, features, functionality and size of the web site.

 

For your money we provide you with a dynamically driven website integrated into a full content management system. All sites are of a custom design, standards compliant and optimized for search engines.
