Websites and automobiles actually have a lot in common. We will utilize this analogy to show many similarities and also point out several differences that, ideally, should also be similarities.

Many sites are coded poorly under the hood, but might still look fine on the outside. Many vehicles have a nice looking exterior but have a poorly maintained engine. What good is it if you have a great looking car but the engine runs inefficiently? Your website is the same. You need a properly coded site in the same way you need a fine tuned engine. A fast car will let you get to your destination quicker and a fast website will let your visitors spend less time loading content. These are aspects that are overlooked by many.

A high profile financial institution in Honduras has acquired corporate face-lift. This bank is everywhere in the country so they are impossible to avoid. They sponsor our Honduran National Soccer Team that has qualified to the World Cup. As a citizen that frequents the streets of Honduras and watches local television, I’m disappointed that such a recognizable institution has gone through a re-brand resulting in a much more fragile image. It is my intent to be preventive and learn from this unfortunate re-branding process for FICOHSA so this does not happen to other organizations, large and small.

Web sites are the most important resource for small business. Why should Honduras be any different? Many existing web design studios offer web design for low prices but rarely do they pay attention to SEO or even the basic elements of art and design.

Honduras is fairly still new to the web design era, but 2Active Design has opened ground in this market and now offers its same level of quality to businesses based in Honduras for surprisingly competitive rates. We use our own SEO research to place your website ahead of your competition. We want to be found when you search for “Honduras Web Marketing”. We want to be on the front page when you search for “Honduras Web Design”. That should be just a small example of what Web Marketing and Search Engine Optimization can do for you. Combined, they are the key to getting attention for your products and services.

If someone were to ask me, “What’s the lowest price you could offer me for a website?” I’d have to first make sure they are willing to sacrifice custom design. This of course, would mean using a template. A template is a ready-made design for a site which comes complete with graphics, navigation, layout, typography and a color palette. Sounds great huh? Well the catch is that the same template you are using is being used by thousands of other people for their site. Would it feel right to call this “Your website?”

What does the “Best Real Estate Website” contain? Well, it must have pictures! Lots of them. Images are very important with current generations. Very few people actually read a full article. And if they do read, it is because something caught their eye. Most likely, this will be an image.

What do people hate the most when they go to a website? All that clicking to find what you are looking for! It’s very annoying! With this real estate design, we’ve taken this problem and applied a nice solution to it. You no longer need to look for various pages of listings, you only need to scroll down and the next set will be loaded automatically. No clicking is ever necessary to view additional listings. What a concept!

A website is the most valuable marketing tool for a business and we want you to have one even if you cannot afford one. Many of our clients provide valuable goods or services that are as good as cash here at 2Active Design. This is a perfectly acceptable trade and we will consider exchanging a website for goods or services.

I had suddenly stepped into the world of Social Media Optimization when I began to consider the following:

• There are hundreds of social networks
• It is unrealistic to update them all quickly
• It stops being fun when it becomes tedious
• I wish I could just update them all at once from one place with one click
• I realize there are different audiences in each social network, therefore I might isolate people if I don’t join one

The Solution

Fortunately, I’ve developed an easy to use solution that is built into all the WordPress sites built by 2Active Design. Social Media Optimization allows automatic updates from your blog to be sent to all your social networks. You only need to add your friends and they can immediately start to enjoy your constant updates from your blog full of rich content and pictures. All this is valuable attention and publicity which will drive many of them to see your site.
