Marketing Services
In our view, there is one reason to pull all of the effort and expense in marketing: to increase sales and build business.

Unlike other advertising i.e., Yellow Pages, Newspaper, Magazine, Radio, T.V. etc…

Web Development
Creating a website for the first time can be a daunting process. In the event that you are in this situation, be assured that MPI excels at "hand-holding" a client through the new jargon and "techno talk". Our approach to every step of the process is to be as thorough as possible in order to make every detail easily understood. We encourage questions upon questions and make every effort to insure that you are comfortable and knowledgeable about the process.
Above all, MPI understands that your website needs to be "Search Engine friendly". Each of the services listed below reinforces this "friendliness" goal. In our view, a website without traffic is meaningless.
By making your website easy to find, easy to navigate and interesting to visit, you will be building your presence on the web as a quality content provider. Click Here for More.
Architectural Navigation
Navigation refers to the links that are created within your website as well as links that access links outside of your website. Prior to programming, a navigation chart is developed. In its final form, the navigation chart offers a blueprint for the entire website, and shows you what pages are linked internally as well as externally. Based on the architectural navigation (and the design), programming is next. The goal is to offer the site visitor an easy to understand interface.
Architectural Navigation includes:
- Development of a flow chart which identifies all internal and external links within your website.
- Consideration of Search Engines' crawling through text links.
- User interface for ease of use; possible use of pull-down menus and other interactive programming.
URL Registration and Re-directs
Universal Resource Locator, or (URL) is the name of your website i.e., www.mycompanyname.com. URL is also synonymous with "Domain Name". In addition to your main URL, clients often will register other URL's that are set-up to "re-direct" to their main domain name. Click Here for More.
Design Services
The design of your website should support the "Branding" of the Company. The overall "look" and visual presentation of your website pages need to reflect the personality of your business. And it should support any other graphic materials that your company has, or is releasing to customers/consumers. Click Here for More.

Content and Copy Writing
Internet trade sources proclaim again and again that "content is key". Not only will your target audience appreciate good text on your home page and subsequent pages, but so will Search Engines. Part of copy writing for the web is to think about what your audience wants, and include search terms that your audience might use to search for your site. The overall message should present the benefits of the client's products and services, structured to induce site visitors to take some action. MPI works closely with you to develop copy that is both informative and "search engine friendly".
Copy Writing includes:
- Development of text to support your products, services and offerings.
- Research what search terms are used by people who are looking for your
type of products and services, and incorporating those terms into the copy.
Programming
Programming involves the development of Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML), which is universally recognized by website browsers, to display your website's content. In the programming phase, the Navigation, Design and Page Layouts are converted into HTML code. MPI also uses JavaScript for specific applications and Active Server Pages (asp). And, if needed, MPI will add database capability to your site. This is especially useful when forms are to be used on the site.
During the programming process, website content is processed for optimum loading time, balanced with aesthetic considerations, such as image quality and font selections. Additional content such as Streaming media (audio and video), Flash animation, Gif animation, animated cursors, scroll bars, forms and interactive buttons are embedded into the HTML code as needed.
Once completed, the program is tested for compatibility with the popular web browsers and screen resolutions used by site visitors.
