Site Envy

'Site envy' is comparing your website to the large, well-established corporate sites that have all the bells and whistles and wanting the very same. Such features usually come with a hefty price tag but fortunately, they are not critical to your success. With Porch Puppy Online, you can have a professionally designed site without the corporate budget. We design eye-catching, well organized, user-friendly websites without breaking the bank.


Given the continuous rapid advances in online technology, it is easy to get caught up in the special effects and overlook the basics when starting your online venture. Corporations pay thousands of dollars to have all kinds of fun features such as elaborate flash animations, videos, and nifty mouseover effects. All are great additions to a site but it is much more important to have a solid foundation first.

The focus of your website should be your content and target market. If you are on a tight budget, as most small businesses and start-ups are, lavish extras should only be considered after the site has a web presence and is generating some revenue.

The specialists at Porch Puppy Online will lay a solid foundation and grow your site as your business and budget grows. With over seven years' experience designing websites for small businesses and start-ups, we will make your site a cut above the rest!

Short Attention Span Theater

It is all about the content. Your homepage is your resume and it needs to be worthy of more than a glance. To grab the attention of visitors, an emphasis of what you are offering should be interesting, informative and to the point. If the first impression is not outstanding, you could be losing business. People know what they are looking for and will quickly shift to another site if yours does not clearly cater to the specifics of their search.

In order to capture and retain a viewer's interest, it is important to stay on topic. You must not overwhelm your audience with excessive information and definitely avoid any verbiage that is not directly relevant to your product or service. People can be easily intimidated by too much content and a click of the mouse can cost your business sales and opportunities. Leave personal topics such as family, hobbies and religious or spiritual beliefs at the door unless they are specifically related to what you are offering.

We live in a fast paced society and time is essential. Visitors to your site should instantly know that they have found exactly what they seek. For these reasons and many others Porch Puppy Online can make all the difference in having your site be a star in the short attention span theater!

Hiring a Professional vs. Do It Yourself Website

Starting or expanding a small business is exciting and rewarding. It can also be expensive and therefore it is important to use your resources wisely. Having a professional and polished website can make all the difference. Websites created by Porch Puppy Online are designed to save you time and money as well as increase customer satisfaction and sales.

A website is much like a resume in that first impressions are critical. Having an organized, professional look and feel will be more inviting to your visitors and potential customers. The navigation of the site and means of accessing your products, services, or information should be seamless and efficiently integrated for the best possible customer experience.

How much is your time worth? To use your resources most effectively, it is best to have a professional focus on the design and functionality of your web site. By doing so, you will free up more time to focus on your own strengths on developing other areas of your business. Let our put our web design expertise to work for you!

Who Needs a Website?

Anyone who has a service, product(s), or valuable information to offer to consumers should have a web site. It would simply be a waste of the best marketing resource available not to use the internet. Case in point; you are reading this where? To use a familiar saying: 'size doesn't matter' also applies here. From the smallest of startups to the largest of corporations, a solid web presence is a basic necessity. It is the standard for playing the game. Everyone and anyone who wants to be heard should start with a website.

Websites are also a very cost effective form of marketing for any enterprise. Consider the cost of having an ad in the phonebook. It is a year long contract that gets paid monthly. What if you needed to change it a week later and had already forked out a few hundred dollars to get it published in the first place? With a website it would be so much easier to call and have professionals like us make changes in minutes instead of waiting until next year's phonebook release. There are simply too many reasons to list that would make the decision to have a website by Porch Puppy Online worth your time.

Savvy consumers expect solid businesses to have a web presence. Information is the hottest commodity and time is the most precious resource. We are in Phoenix and can provide expert web site design anywhere in the world. So, what are you waiting for? Contact Porch Puppy Online today!
