Everybody Wants Free Traffic...
... but the competition can be pretty tough.
As Pretty as a Picture
A great-looking site is all well and good, but there is no point spending a fortune on custom graphics for your website if no-one ever sees it.
Welcome to North Lake Web Solutions
If you've always wanted to take your business - or just your ideas - online, but never thought you could afford it, think again. There's no need to spend three- or four-thousand dollars at a big web-development firm, lining their pockets with your hard-earned dollars. What those folks will never tell you is that many of the solutions they employ are absolutely free, and take only a few minutes to set up. At North Lake Web Solutions, we tell it like it is. We come to you to learn about your business; we discuss what you need and what you don't; explain what works and what doesn't; and charge a fair price that accurately reflects the amount of work we have to do, not the amount of profit we want to make.
Website Development and Hosting for North Lake County
The bears make it look easy, don't they? They position themselves perfectly to catch as many salmon as they want from a seemingly infinite supply. Unfortunately for us, achieving a top ranking in search engines like Google - which potentially offer access to a huge global market of customers for our businesses (or readers for our ideas) - isn't quite so easy. We have to be smarter than the average bear to pull it off, and strong enough to defend ourselves from others who want to muscle in on our spot.
We've been fighting this battle for a while, watching the rules of the game change as the world of organic search becomes ever-more competitive. We can help you take your business or ideas to the wider audience they deserve, but we will never pretend that the task is going to be quick or easy. Ranking well in Google should be viewed as a long-term endeavor, but one which is well worth the effort.

We build websites the right way - by understanding what they are intended to do from the beginning, not after the fact. Our approach to web design is all about search-engine optimization (SEO), maximizing your site's potential to rank well in the search engines and deliver the traffic (visitors) your business needs to thrive online.
The choice of site structure is analogous to the education of a child: a well-designed site goes out into the world with every opportunity to do well, and needs much less help later. A poorly-designed site, on the other hand, is always going to struggle, and will demand constant effort to have any chance of succeeding in a tough, competitive environment.

We apply the best open-source platforms to a variety of website needs. Our favorite platforms for web development are Wordpress, for general-purpose business websites, affiliate marketing, or blogging; and OpenCart for full-fledged e-commerce solutions for your online store. When configured correctly, these platforms are tremendously search-engine friendly, giving your site the headstart it needs.
We will handle domain registration for you if you do not already own a domain. And we provide full web hosting with individual control panels, unlimited e-mail accounts, and complete control of your site if you want to manage it yourself. Our platforms are not just chosen for SEO purposes; they also provide extremely user-friendly interfaces to make working with your site a pleasure.

Although all services can be provided at a distance, we prefer to meet our clients in person to better understand their needs and explain exactly what we are doing. Thus, our primary service area comprises Eustis, Mount Dora, Tavares, Leesburg, and Umatilla in Lake County, Florida.
We prefer to work with only a limited number of clients at any one time, to ensure a higher quality of experience for all concerned. We do not have sales targets or corporate quotas to satisfy. If we think we are not the right people for your project, we will say so. And we will even tell you if a website is not really necessary for your business.
