Websites are the public face of every organization. A well-designed home page, engaging user experience, and intuitive site map are critical elements in capturing the right audience.
The difference between an excellent website and a standard one is often quite small. A few minor design details, keywords and information flows can bring in additional customers… or dramatically increase your “bounce” rate. With competitive websites constantly adjusting their tactics and refreshing their look, it is more important than ever to have a competent, engaged web design company on your side.
Perhaps even more than the user-facing product, the back-end coding of a site is a critical component of harvesting leads and opportunities from web traffic. Setting up mechanisms to track customer behavior, target particular markets, or generate geographically-oriented content starts with the basic infrastructure of a site. Foundational coding and site architecture will ultimately dictate how a company can use the precious data that comes from customer engagement to drive revenue-generating opportunities.
There are plenty of website development and design companies out there, but many of them only focus on a single design element or single stage of the process. Others offer “quick fix” websites with standardized elements which quickly fade into the background of the competitive internet environment. There may be short-term reasons to go with either option, yet the long-term benefits of using a full-service web services company quickly result in a more cohesive approach at a lower total cost.
As one of the top web design companies in the L.A. area, Nextware offers the full range of website design, development and hosting services. We provide our clients with as much or as little help as they need to make their web presence sparkle. Unlike many website design companies, Nextware takes the time to listen to its clients, truly understand their drivers and needs and propose a tailored solution to meet their specific requirements and budget. The end result is a website that looks great, offers a compelling user experience, integrates into vital business systems, and captures the data necessary to drive business opportunities.

Integration Services
Few of today’s websites exist in isolation. Rather, they are merely the external-facing components of larger systems, capturing data and driving it into different sub-components of a business or organization. As a provider of both website and software development services, Nextware is ideally positioned to integrate websites into the back-end systems which deliver focused value for its clients. We can handle not only how the data gets collected, but also where it goes and how it is processed, providing a true end-to-end solution which few website development companies are equipped to offer.
Nextware provides integration with many different business tools, including:
- Product Information Management (PIM): Nextware can integrate your centrally held product information into a web delivery platform, simplifying distribution across the enterprise.
- Digital Asset Management (DAM): Nextware specializes in DAM systems like Canto Cumulus and Picturepark, helping to organize data which arrives through the website for simple retrieval and reliable archiving.
- eCommerce Systems: Nextware can seamlessly integrate your web presence into any eCommerce platform, making the transition from casual browser to customer simple.

SEO
The best website in the world is useless if it can’t be found through a simple keyword search. Nextware’s SEO team can find the most popular and relevant terms for your site, driving new traffic and new customers.
Social Media
Today’s websites are part of a larger public-facing engagement strategy which includes a presence on major social media platforms. Nextware helps organizations of all sizes build and execute a social media strategy alongside the creation of a new website.

The advent of cloud services continues to revolutionize the way the internet functions.

Keeping websites fresh, fixing inevitable bugs, and maintaining functionality at scale require constant vigilance. Nextware offers 24/7 support for its websites, making sure that your site is operating whenever customers need it.
- Website Backup and Disaster Recovery: Reducing downtime has to be the goal of any organization.
