We were searching for a resource to engage after deciding to “blow up” our website and start over. Greg Ford and his team coached us thru the whole process including developing a new logo for our 50 year old company. They were technically excellent, creative and very customer focused. They listened to what we told them about our industry and developed a customized approach; no “cookie cutter” components. I would use them again!

Internet & Website security

gregford — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:49:34 +0000

There are a million reasons to have a website. You are getting world-wide exposure of your product/service through brand recognition. When you play your cards right (Search Engine Optimization, Internet Marketing, Social Media, the list goes on), you can increase your bottom line many-fold with a simple-yet-engaging website. This doesn’t mean skimping on the important things, like design, function, and content of the website for an increased perceived budget on your “internet marketing”.

Internet Marketing does not mean just “what you do to get people to your website.” Your website is the integral tool to your Internet Marketing campaign. Toyota doesn’t spend millions of dollars on advertising just to get you to the dealership, though that’s the first step. They have spent 100 times more money developing a product that people want to feel secure driving. It’s a big purchase.

So is your website. When you spend the extra money (it doesn’t have to be millions, or even tens of thousands) on your website, your subsequent Internet Marketing campaign will succeed exponentially beyond what a mediocre website would have.

But you have to feel secure in spending the money, putting yourself out there, and pushing your service. You have to be ready to handle the influx of customers, contacts, and revenue. With that, you have to be ready to handle the dark side of the internet: spammers, hackers, and scammers.

At Ford Design Group, we’re aware of these forces trying to steal from you, and we take every known precaution to protect you, from the way we program our sites to the set up of our servers. From passwords to databases, we’re always looking for ways to stay two steps ahead of the bad guys.

Call us or shoot us an email and we’ll answer all your questions about moving into a new and improved Internet Marketing Solution!

Ford has become a true valued partner of Hyster Company. They have helped us out tremendously on a variety of projects: from advertisements, to flyers, to direct mail and HTML pieces.
