Bill Gates has once said, “If your business is not on the Internet in the next five years, you will be out of business.”
Apparently, the time has come when a business is hard to survive without a Website, considering as large as 1,463,632,361 people on internet. A Website is the face of a business. Successful Websites are always focused on promotion and increasing the productivity. This is a continuous process and so is, updating, modifying, managing and optimizing the website to yield the best results.
‘Website makeover’ is the term for revamping a website, a kind of face-lift. It converts a static website to a dynamic one and accordingly reaching the right customers.
Stellar Concepts and Design, a leading service provider for Website Re/Design has been successfully helping their clients to make their websites functional and productive. Interestingly, Stellar has introduced the ‘Website Makeover Package’; a customized version of Website Re/Design which will be based on the nature of client’s business.
“During lagging economic days, it is natural and essential to avoid extra expenditures. However, as the market shrinks, it is even more essential to attract new clients and retain the existing ones. Nowadays, people look beyond the conventional mediums of advertisements and browse through internet for information, they want to know more. By promoting a well designed website, you are not only giving the information but you are also reaching a wider audience. However, just floating a website doesn’t help. A website can convert the browsers into buyers only when it is user friendly, connected to the potential customers, optimized for search engines and having a well designed layout. Our ‘website makeover’ package gives just that,” says Anthony Giudice, Stellar Concepts and Design president and founder.
Studies have shown that the growth and income of small business that use the Internet have grown respectively, 46% faster and 58% greater than those who did not.

Recession keeps Stellar Concepts and Design busy as Online Business soars high.

According to U.S. Census Bureau data, the revenues from online businesses in the first quarter of 2008 were $32.4 billion, 13.4 percent up from the third quarter of 2007.
“Online businesses have become the need of the hour. It is the best possible way of cutting down costs in times of recession. A change in shopping behavior and a shift in the mode of business have fuelled the market for online business. People have started venturing into online businesses, mostly, due to job layoffs and less or zero recruitment. Interestingly, during the last eight months Stellar has helped hundreds of our clients to start their online business by designing their websites as well as helping them with all the marketing and advertising needs that we do, such as printing, mailing, promotional products, video production, graphic design, online marketing, SERM (Search Engine Reputation Management) and SEO (Search Engine Optimization),” said Anthony Giudice, Stellar Concepts and Design president and founder.

According to Internet World Stats July 2008 data, there are approximately 1,463,632,361 internet users worldwide.Even at such recession days, the internet is beginning to boom with more people trying to make money online.”
“Costs for starting online business are comparatively low and can be established within a week. However, while floating the websites for their business, the budding entrepreneurs need to keep in mind that the ‘content is king’. The real and professional web designers understand the fact that the websites exist to conduct business. Our designers have always studied and analyzed the client’s line of business, the target market and the purpose of website before starting the project.” Giudice informs.

A Website-makeover on ‘Ruby on Rails’ is all set to take Stellar Concepts and Design to a new height…
Stellar Concepts and Design, one of the leading printing, mail house and multimedia firms specializing in all areas of marketing which include commercial printing, video production, and website-design, website-makeover, full service mail facility, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SERM (Search Engine Reputation Management), Graphic Design, 350,000 Promotional Products and many more services, is only a few weeks away from a grand launch of its new website which is designed on ‘Ruby on Rails‘ programming language.
Ruby on Rails or RoR or just Rails is a new and productive technique to develop web applications. It is simple and faster because of its clean and small syntax or code. A high productivity with a reduced development time and a cut on code burden is what makes the Rails a favorite among developers. It not only reduces web development time but makes the programming elegant and fun and the same is reflected while giving an enriching user experience. Any changes and enhancements are easily applicable in RoR making web maintenance simple and easy.
“When it is the age of Web 2.0 concept, periodical redesigning of a website is always good and essential too. Today, our IT-enabled global village talks about social networking and social book marking sites like Facebook, Orkut, Myspace, Twitter, Digg It, Stumble Upon, Newsvine, Technocrati, Del.icio.us etc. Hence, it becomes imperative to match the website design up to the expectations of our technology-savvy clients. Since website-makeover is already a forte of Stellar Concepts and Design, it is natural for us to think a level ahead and take a call on redesigning our website. And, with ‘Ruby on Rails’ programming, we can dramatically cut production time - we can finish complex websites in weeks instead of months," says Anthony Giudice, Stellar Concepts and Design president and founder.
A website is a face of the business. A change in time and technology always brings along new expectations for design and interactivity of websites. Hence, redesigning and re-launching the website gives the chance to address all the issues that come out with the change and thus communicate to the potential clients. Website-makeover also conveys a message to search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo, AOL etc. about the website being active and up-to-date. This will help the search engines to pull out the website and place it on their desirable pages.
“Our new website is designed to be a user-friendly with all the necessary information on the platter. The look itself is very attractive and trendy that even a web-surfer who happens to have come across the site just by a chance will be tempted to click further,” quips Giudice.

Remember, even a single negative remark about your product or company in web can harm your business tremendously.”
“We, at Stellar, boast to have successfully rescuing innumerable businesses by giving services like SEO and SERM. Our SERM service includes, apart from defending negative comments by a third party, writing and publishing Press Releases and sharing the same in social bookmarks, exchanging links, creating/updating/following up Social media profiles, creating and updating blogs, and creating and sending newsletters. SERM not only helps building a great reputation in the search engines, it also increases traffic to a web site,” remarks Giudice.

Stellar Concepts Reduces Bounce Rates With Video Spokespeople
As the number of web sites continues to grow and the competition to obtain high organic rankings increases, companies are exploring ways to boost web site traffic and keep visitors engaged.
To decrease bounce rates, Stellar Concepts and Design, a Ft. Lauderdale -based advertising and multi-media company, recently added virtual http://www.stellarconcepts.com [spokespeople] and streaming video to its scope of services. A bounce rate is a mechanism to measure quality of web site traffic. It reflects the percentage of visitors who leave after visiting only the landing page (accordingly the term “bounce”), versus those who navigate into a site further.
"Traditional search engine optimization techniques will get someone to your site," says Anthony Giudice, http://www.stellarconcepts.com [Stellar Concepts] president and founder. "But it won’t make them stay there. While content is key, it’s also important to present the information in an engaging way. By introducing more interactive elements, we are able to accomplish that.”
Virtual spokespeople and streaming video captures the segment of the web audience that prefers to watch – not read. It’s a growing trend in the industry and a service Stellar Concepts is happy to introduce to help its clients remain competitive.
