We've been working on some really cool projects with a local branding company. I'll share some of these websites with everyone once they go live in the next few days. This blog post is to give some credit to a company that excels at creating brands that capture the target audiences' imagination, mind, and emotion. This small company here in Arkansas is doing some very big things.

Cameron Clement is really the man behind the curtain at C3 Brandworks. Although he is a visionary and creative to the 11th power, he still knows how to research, discover, and perceive the details of a business that lead to prosperity in its market. Basically if you want to create a company image that people will recognize for all eternity, something that is positive and has an immediate and long lasting impact on sales Cameron is your man.

Kirkham Systems also needs a website designer.  If you know what php, mysql, apache and linux is, you could be the right candidate.  If you build websites in Frontpage, well..., uh, I doubt you have the apptitude we are looking for.  If you know what CMS, LAMP, Drupal, and Zen Cart are, then we really want to speak with you.

Stop by with a resume (no phone calls, please) and ask for Ashley. 

I'm blogging to you live from the Arkansas Governor's Conference on Tourism in Rogers Arkansas. Things are just getting started with a motivational speaker giving a lecture right now. It seems like the only other Website Design Company is Aristotle. We hope to start doing demonstrations of our Websites and Search Engine work soon. We've met some interesting people already and I must say that the Embassy Suites up here is an awesome facility. They just rolled out the coffee so I need to go. I'll make another post later.

The Arkansas Museums Association is having a Fort Smith meeting on March 12th and 13th 2008. This Years theme is "New Frontiers for Arkansas Museums." We will be giving a presentation on new ideas and technologies on the 12th at the Events Building, Room B. Basically we are going to talk about ways to engage web visitors with more than just a website that says "come to the museum because we are good" Instead we'll be looking at how to bring your website to life with interactive technologies designed to make your website's visitors feel like they are a part of history. I'll post more details as I find out more.

Kirkham Systems is going to be attending the Arkansas Governors Conference On Tourism this year. Arkansas holds this conference to spread ideas and strategies on marketing. We see a need for better web design for promoting Arkansas' parks, cities, and destinations, not just outside the state, but within the state as well. If you are looking for new internet ideas and a new direction our websites are what you need.

At Kirkham Systems, we don't start designing a site by looking at a business card or a logo and figuring out what we can tell your customer about you. We start by figuring out what your customer would like to see from your site. How can we draw your customer into an experience on the web that is second only to really being there.

Many websites in Arkansas are designed very well, and look very nice, but don't show up when searched for. Our sites are designed with the latest in technology to show up high in search engines such as Google and Yahoo. This is important because it is always better to have a million visitors to a site that looks like it cost a hundred dollars than 100 visitors to a site that cost one million. Of course your website will be designed by one of our elite graphic designers and will be visually impressive.

It may surprise many that we do web design and Internet marketing work for not just the Fort Smith and River Valley area  -  we actually have quite a few clients scattered over the United States and Canada.  The reason we can attract these clients is our commitment to building sites the right way.  Our commitment to programming, design, and marketing are fundamental reasons why organizations all over North America choose our services.  Our clients understand that a site does not just need to look good, but it must be built upon a platform with capabilities and flexibility that provides good search engine results, and perhaps more importantly, customer engagement. 

Every single site we build is database-driven.  This means our clients can not only create and edit their own content, but they can actively engage and have conversations with their customers in ways simply not possible through traditional media. 

Call us today and let us show you the way to better Internet marketing.

Is your company's website making you money? Every Year a larger and larger percentage of products are purchased online. Last week I spent 80 dollars on Christmas locally, and over 200 online. If your website isn't selling products for you it is probably for one of two reasons.

1. No one can find your site. The internet is similar to the physical world of business. In Fort Smith you have main roads where retailers can usually count on lots of traffic. On the internet these main roads also generate traffic and if you aren’t their then you have to spend a lot more on advertising. These roads are Google, MSN, and Yahoo. If your web site isn't showing up in the top 10 when people search for your product you should call us right now.

2. Your website isn't designed properly.  Either it doesn't effectively present your product to the customer, or it is to confusing to use.  We create websites that use simple navigation and nice clean designs to create a site that focuses on your product or service, not on the site.
