AZ-Web Celebrates Its 10 Year Anniversary!
By David Prescott

It's hard to believe that we've been building websites for ten full years! To mark this event we've completely revamped all of our websites and there are some exciting changes that we want to tell you about.

To start with, look at our new design! We've really changed the look and feel of the site, but we've taken it much further. Now, you will see the same website and information for all of our sites including az-web.com, sandiego-web, bayarea-web, and seattle-web.

With a page width of nearly 1,000 pixels, the size of the AZ-Web site is substantially larger than anything we've made previously. You'll also notice that the pages load very quickly. We've made changes and adjustments to the site, which make navigation a breeze. Each page has a beautiful design and most have some rather large graphics, but the pages still fly on the screen.

New Online Billing System

One of the biggest additions is the ability for existing AZ-Web customers to login, check their account status. Once a customer logs in, they are able to see their account balance, hosting package, past and current invoices, and make payments by either credit card or online check.

We've also made big changes to our portfolio section. Now, instead of having hundreds of listings, we've cut it back to just a few. Over the next month we'll be adding in depth case studies to this section.

For a big surprise, click on the "Clients" page. This is a listing of most of the clients we've worked with over the last ten years. This is an amazing list of clients and we're proud to have worked with all of them. If you have worked with AZ-Web and you don't see your name listed call or email us and we'll be glad to add you.

We work side by side with our clients in learning and understanding their specific business and industry. Some clients may have non-business goals, such as non-profits, associations or schools. We evaluate your individual needs and provide a detail proposal with a total price. Our proposal will outline the services that will be included in your web design package.

Our focus on customer service and support is what sets us apart from the competition. It is what has allowed us to maintain and grow our presence and we look forward to serving you.

Tips For Search Engine Optimization(SEO)

Many websites appear poorly in search engine rankings or may not be listed at all because they fail to consider how search engines work. Page titles, body copy and other elements all play a role. If you change your web pages, crawler-based search engines eventually find these changes, and that may affect how your site is listed. Failure to put target keywords in the title tag is the main reason why perfectly relevant web pages may be poorly ranked.

Frequency of keywords in your meta tags and content is the other major factor in how search engines determine relevancy. A search engine will analyze how often keywords appear in relation to other words on a web page. Those with a higher frequency are often deemed more relevant than other web pages.
