			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How much time have you spent on:</h2>
<p>Thinking, searching for, developing, and implementing the right <em>technology</em> for your business?</p>
<p>The amount of <strong><em>resources</em></strong> and <strong><em>time</em></strong> spent setting up and organizing your <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0" target="_blank">Web 2.0 Presence</a>, and other IT related tasks adds up to be very valuable time that could and should be instead spent on the core of your business.</p>

<ol>
<li>You try to come up with viable and efficient solutions.</li>

Since we don&#8217;t work with any vendors, each suggested solution is <strong>unbiased</strong> and <strong>well-informed</strong>. Now that you have all this new technology, let us train you and instruct you on how to use it to the best of your ability.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Web 2.0 Modern Website Design: cost and time effective !</h2>
<p>While there are a lot of tools out there that allows Do-It-Yourself website creation (Yahoo SiteBuilder, GoDaddy PageBuilder, Dreamweaver, FrontPage, Google etc.), it is very difficult to create a modern professional design with it that effectively exploit the Web 2.0 features.<br />
From Design, to Development, and Marketing &amp; Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Light Mountain Partners offers smaller companies, professional service providers, and sole proprietory ships  the ability to have a modern Web 2.0 presence.<br />
With today&#8217;s ever changing landscape of communication, such as Social Media andaccess by mobilephone, it is hard for smaller businesses without the budget or in-house knowledge to keep up. Some simple examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Has your business tapped into the real-time feedback that Twitter provides?</li>
<li>Do you utilize Facebook Fan Page for your business brand identity?</li>
<li>Need to look for a new-hire through LinkedIn?</li>
</ul>
<p>Light Mountain Partners is here to integrate this advanced Web 2.0 technology into your web presence. And all this in a <strong>cost</strong> and <strong>time</strong> effective manner. This Web 2.0 design service goes hand-in-hand with our Social Media Communication strategy and coaching services.</p>
<h2>Web Services:<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-189" title="iStock_000001242290XSmall" src="http://lightmountainpartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/iStock_000001242290XSmall.jpg" alt="iStock_000001242290XSmall" width="425" height="282" /></h2>
<ul>
<li>Static Websites</li>
<li>Dynamic Websites</li>
<li>PSD to xHTML/CSS</li>
<li>PSD to Custom CMS</li>
<li>WordPress Themes</li>
<li>Corporate Branding</li>
<li>SEO &amp; Link Building</li>
<li>Content Writing</li>
<li>Competitive Analysis</li>
<li>Google Analytics</li>
<li>SEO &amp; Marketing</li>
<li>Pay-Per-Click / Pay-Per-Impression</li>
</ul>
<h2>Design</h2>
<p>Great design is all in the details and ease of use. User interface design must support functionality, and vice versa. It is more than just choosing typefaces, images, and colors. Good design works to present information in such a way as to support the information it presents. Light Mountain Partners always takes pride in our work.</p>
<h2>Development</h2>
<p>Light Mountain Partners is comfortable in many programming languages <strong>xHTML</strong>, <strong>MySQL</strong>, <strong>CSS</strong>, <strong>PHP</strong>, <strong>JavaScript</strong>, and <strong>jQuery</strong> used in  front-end web development. In addition to being well versed in standards-based markup practices (<a href="http://www.w3.org/" target="_blank">WC3 Compatible</a>), we also offer content management system integration, for easy site maintenance. This website for example is powered by <a title="WordPress" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/Outbound_Services_wordpress/');" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.wordpress.org/">WordPress</a>.</p>
<p>Light Mountain Partners has an extensive network of freelancers we work with for other languages, and we can assemble just the right team for your project.</p>
<h2>Marketing &amp; SEO</h2>
<p><strong>Site marketing and search engine optimization (SEO)</strong> are geared towards achieving a high ranking in the major search engines such as Google &amp; Yahoo. Site marketing and SEO, however, are not enough. While natural search engine traffic is key to a site&#8217;s success, <em>making sure that traffic converts</em> should be your primary goal. We can also setup and integrate a Google Analytics account so we can easily give insights into your website traffic and marketing effectiveness. Powerful, flexible and easy-to-use features will let you see and analyze your traffic data in an entirely new way. With Google Analytics, you&#8217;re more prepared to write better-targeted ads, strengthen your marketing initiatives and create higher converting websites. In addition to tracking Web Campaigns, we offer methods of tracking Email Campaigns as well further allowing us to better refine your target audience and increase conversion rates.</p>
<p>Our goal is to get you focused traffic, while continually refining your site to increase conversion rates. My site marketing process encompasses three major stages- search engine optimization, user tracking and conversion improvement, and internet marketing through pay-per-click advertising.</p>
