After being in the top 3 on Google for ‘wilmington nc web design’ for almost a year now, I had to ask myself this question. Google ranking is so highly stressed, but conversions is another issue. What happens if/when they get to your site? Do they leave after seeing the home page because they don’t know where to go next? Are they making it to your contact page and then leaving?
In my case, the ranking has definitely helped, but according to my stats, I have people coming to my site everyday, but that does not mean I am getting calls or emails everyday. What’s the reason? I’ll let you know when/if I find out – if you have any suggestions or comments please feel free to leave a comment here.

Are you a Mac-head without a way to test your web designs on the most popular browser, Internet Explorer?
Are you a PC-freak with no way of testing your web designs on the popular Safari browser that is found on all Macs?
Look no further! Litmus is a new web based app that will show you how your web design mockup looks on all major browsers.

Straight from their website:
We won’t preach to you about cross-browser compatibility. We know you know it’s essential your sites look great across all modern browsers.
Litmus shows you exactly how your designs look on every platform, across every popular web browser. (And the not-so-popular ones.)
Once you’ve finished testing, one click publishes a full compatibility report ready for review by your client or boss. It’s pretty neat.
