What do you charge for Logo Design?
Jul 16th
DesignIT Services offers 3 different Logo Design Package deals and pricing(see below), but we also offer custom pricing depending upon the project. Please fill out our Logo Design Questionnaire first so we can better address your specific design needs. We will be able to tell you which Logo Design Package is right for your company.
Be careful of cheap logo design companies, because some designers may use clip art. A logo design that includes a royalty free piece of clip art cannot be copyrighted. Any company in the world could use the same piece of clip art as part of their logo design. Be sure and check out the designers portfolio, and remember that, “you get what you pay for” applies in the world of logo design as well.
The worst part of paying for a cheap logo is finding out that you were not sent the correct file formats for printing and web. You will then have to pay another graphic designer or printer to create the correct files. DesignIT Services provides you with every file type and format you will ever need for your logo.
The most common file types needed are AI (Illustrator) and EPS for most professional print jobs. These are vector format files. Vector art allows you to reduce or enlarge a design to ANY size without losing detail or clarity. DesignIT Services provides you with vector files for both a light and dark background logo.
The last file types you will need would be JPEG, GIF, and .PNG files. These are pixel files and are used for web design. A GIF file is transparent so you will not have a white box around it when displayed on your page. DesignIT Services also provides you with a transparent .png file for a light and dark background.
DesignIT Services will send you the Pantone PMS color and web safe color numbers for each color in your Logo Design. You will need this information each time your logo is printed. This insures that you get the exact same colors with every printer that you use. We will also send any fonts used in your logo design if you need to create additional text.
DesignIT Services gives your company all rights (copyrights) to your logo. Since a logo is a companies identity you will need to own all rights to get a trademark.

For most businesses, gaining just one new client will cover your initial web design and development costs.

What is SEO?
Jul 4th
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of maximizing the volume or quality of traffic to a web site (such as a blog) from search engines via “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results as opposed to other forms of search engine marketing (“SEM”) which may deal with paid inclusion. The theory is that the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content and HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines.
The acronym “SEO” can refer to “search engine optimizers,” a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term “search engine friendly” may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, images, videos, shopping carts, and other elements that have been optimized for the purpose of search engine exposure.
Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or spamdexing, uses methods such as link farms, keyword stuffing and article spinning that degrade both the relevance of search results and the user-experience of search engines. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques in order to remove them from their indices.
You found us, so we must be doing a good job of marketing our site and SEO. Let DesignIT optimize your website content so it rises to the top of the search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.. Drive more visitors to your site, increase online business, and get important information to your customers by letting us advertise your site and market your online presence.
