My Story

Design Data Concepts, LLC draws from more than 27 years of my career history in graphic design, printing, photography and business organization that started with Arthur Graphics Hawaii on the island of Kauai in 1992. In September of 2010, Design Data Concepts came into being in Charlottesville Virginia with a prominent emphasis on creative business services toward the digital marketplace. I'm also armed with a dedicated service attitude, serving each customer with professional loyalty and providing never ending support. Each customer benefits from my collective experience of business ownership, advertising design, product branding, website design and website programing (development).

The Concept
DDC doesn't build websites, DDC develops online business!

Websites are incorrectly thought of as digital brochures. Your business website cannot be just an Internet display like an online flyer. Well developed business websites have become central marketing hubs and consoles for sales data control and dashboards for content leadership. These are the smart, successful and profitable companies. DDC is a business development service, not just a design service, the emphasis is on development in a dual sense of the word. Develop as in (1) back-end internet coding and (2) front-end business authority and useful tools. Most people think “We just have to create a website and it will magically generate sales traffic and earn us a million bucks”. Maybe you’re thinking that once you launch your website taking your business online, it will open the floodgates to sales. Sure, you can create and launch a website quickly, but then what do you do? You wait. You wait for the mojo of the internet to bring in new customers which actually never happens unless you know how to launch correctly. Launch means much more than just making your website “Go-Live” Maybe you’re wondering about the sites that get picked up really fast, like within months of a launch? You know what’s common in all of them? THEY LAUNCH RIGHT. They get indexed fast. They don’t get penalized by search engines. And they provide a great user experience right from the go. You’re a business owner, don't be looking for just another website; instead, you’ll want to accomplish specific business goals. You’ll want an ON-LINE BUSINESS not a website. Design Data Concepts is an on-line business creator, providing extremely effective tools for accomplishing these goals.

What Is a CMS (Content Management System)?

A CMS lets you edit the content on your website. No matter the size or type of your business, a CMS has become almost indispensable. It operates on the backend of your website, allowing you to manage the content and other facets of your internet presentation, including image control. Another benefit of a CMS is that it makes it easy for your office users with varying levels of tech savvyness.

What Is a CRM (Customer Relationship Management)?

Your most valuable and important asset is your customers. Who are your customers? How do you communicate with them? How do they interact with your company website? What does the potential of new prospects look like? Because you’re now an online business and not just a website, your customers and your knowledge about them is all centralized into a sophisticated database. Everyone in your office will now have coordinated context about each customer’s needs, preferences, and current situation, so they can continue with related conversations without being disjointed. A CRM is a back-end database you can access and utilize as the main sales control tool. No matter the size or type of your business, a CRM has become almost indispensable for knowing your customers. It operates on the backend of your website, allowing you to manage customers and other facets of sales. Another benefit of a CRM is that it makes it easy for your office users with varying levels of tech savvyness.

Recommended CMS and Hosting Platforms

Many businesses are enjoying the extra freedom and flexibility made possible by a good content management system. Active on more than 75 million websites, WordPress is the world's most popular CMS. WordPress can be hosted on many servers.

BigCommerce is an open SaaS platform that provides businesses with the tools and functionalities to operate an online store. Aside from selling physical and/or digital goods, BigCommerce also comes with marketing features to help users reach out to their customers and expand their client base as well as partnerships with shipping and delivery services. Hosted on BigCommerce Cloud

A good content management system (CMS for short) allows you to maintain your website with ease while keeping its look and structure. It also helps your website last longer and increase your return on investment. Used on more than 10 million websites worldwide, Joomla! is a popular, open-source software platform (i.e. you don't have to pay for access to it). That convenience contributes to lower web-design costs and invites developers to enhance the system.

SiteGlide SaaS (software as a service) is another go-to developer platform that came out of the end of Adobe Business Catalyst.

Treepl is a SaaS platform, Content Management System created to be a replacement and significant upgrade from the Business Catalyst platform.

By almost all accounts, Magento is THE e-commerce platform, and currently the most popular such solution in existence. It’s estimated that Magento is used on 20 percent of all e-commerce sites online. Magento is your all-in-one solution for e-commerce, offering a ton of features with basically nothing missing from the platform. It’s a fairly advanced piece of software engineering.

 

You’re a business owner, don't be looking for just another website; instead, you’ll likely need to accomplish specific business goals. You’ll want an ON-LINE BUSINESS not a website.
