In today’s world, an Internet presence is essential for the success of any business large or small. How your company is perceived is often determined by what people see, and more and more people are looking to the Internet to get a good look. Weather you are selling a product, an idea, or are just introducing yourself to the world, your web site design will often be the determining factor in gaining a new friend, or being overlooked for some eye candy just a click away.

Affordable Web Site Design

North Beach Networks, an Internet Web Site Design Company based in north Jacksonville Beach Florida, has been designing informational and ecommerce websites since 2002. Our philosophy is simple: Simplicity in Design using up to date technology. Our websites are designed to be easy on the eye and robot friendly, providing visitors with enough information to keep them interested, and our search engine spider friends a clear and precise indication of what you're all about.

Studies have shown that Internet “surfers” do more scanning than reading, they are an impatient bunch, and are quick to click on any hyperlink that looks like it will take them someplace more interesting. Heat Maps show us where the eye tends to go the most, linger, and jump to. From all this research we have learned the importance of using columns, emphasizing interesting text (a.k.a. keywords), where to place our most important messages, and basically, just how to keep the visitor on your site. If you've made it this far, then we’ve done it right!

Our Commitment to You

We will listen. At the free initial consultation, we ask you a series of questions designed to find out what it is you want, or expect from your website. Throughout the website design process, you will be kept informed and given every opportunity tell us what you like and don’t like, and to steer us in the direction that you want to go.

If you believe you are in need of an Internet presence, and like what you’ve seen and read so far, please go to our contact page and fill out the web form in as much detail as possible. We will contact you shortly to arrange a free initial consultation.

No job is too big or too small.
Website design services start at $600 for an Internet Presence.
