From our Blogs:

A blog (a contraction of the term “weblog”) is a type of website with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Feel free to send in your comments!

Having an effective marketing campaign is extremely important for a business. You could be selling top quality products, better than your competition, but if no one knows about them, you simply won’t sell. If you feel this way, it is definitely time to make an investment in online marketing.

Now, you may think marketing is about TV commercials, radio spots and magazine ads. You would have been correct if we were in the early 1990s. But the fact is, radio, TV and magazine ads are expensive. We’re talking thousands of dollars here in a single month. How do you even know anyone is looking at them? There’s really no accurate way to track your visitors. The most you can get is an approximation. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a cheaper alternative? One that could tell you exactly how many people saw your product? One that would stay up for years and years without paying through the roof? Read on for a brief comparison between TV, Radio, Print and a Website. (more…)

TV, Radio and Print vs Websites

Many business owners will ask themselves this question at some point. The fact is, compared to other methods, not only is a website affordable, it is interactive. It is a tool your audience can use to get back to you. This is why you simply cannot compare a website to a TV or Radio ad.

So you have enough marketing knowledge to know that you need a website, and the logic that you also need someone to make it. So when you go online to search for one, you will have several options of finding someone to design your site:

  • A site where you post your budget and various studios bid for it
  • A reputable design studio
  • An individual freelancer
  • A “do it yourself” solution

Freelancers or Web Design Firms?

So you have enough marketing knowledge to know that you need a website, and the logic that you also need someone to make it. So when you go online to search for one, who should you pick?

You have a great new website, but only a small group of people know it exists. Get the world to know about it with competitive SEO and Web Marketing!

How to be competitive when it comes to Web Marketing:

  • Have a website with valid code and a solid markup (Web Design and Development)
  • Generate relevant content at least once a week (Blogging)
  • Create links to your content in popular social networking sites (Web Marketing)

2Active Design uses a CMS system with optimal code made focused on search engine rankings. I’ve done extensive research over the years on how Google, Yahoo, Live Search and others rank websites. I’ve also studied the top SEO firms to gain inspiration and learn best practices in the industry. Soon I learned that I could even outrank them! This is all due to the fact that the CMS system used is coded so well and that the content generation is ongoing and contains quality copy-writing. While perfect code can get your foot in the door, quality writing is what will keep you there and take you way beyond your competition.

Competitive SEO and Web Marketing

You have a great new website, but only a small group of people know it exists. Get the world to know about it with competitive SEO and Web Marketing! But beware, there are plenty of so called SEO experts out there that have their eye set on your money and not performance.

Local Web Design in La Ceiba, Honduras

La Ceiba, Honduras is a premier destination for tourists. Business based here should have a world class website. Many locals know the city quite well but visitors will look to the Internet for information. Therefore, businesses in La Ceiba have a beautiful and informative website.

Being born and raised in Honduras, I have grown with the Honduran market and advertising. After college in the United States, I have a clear understanding of both markets. Because of this experience, 2Active Design is able to differentiate between both markets and cater to their specialized needs.

First and foremost, Honduran business tends to have Spanish speaking employees and a great deal of decision making is done in Spanish. However, they want to work fluidly with the English speaking client-base and even other languages if necessary. Honduras has always depended greatly on investment from other countries and it would be quite limiting to work with clients in only one language. It is very desirable to have employees that speak at least two languages. Why should their website be any different?
