Ventnor NJ Businesses Ranked and Graded on Design

(Newswire.net — August 24, 2017) Mays Landing, NJ –Leading South Jersey web design and digital media agency, DotCom Global Media, conducted an in-depth analysis on websites for businesses, organizations, and associations located in Ventnor NJ. This information was intended to serve as a resource for business owners and web designers looking to create or redesign a website for a business located in Ventnor NJ.

Ventnor NJ is a unique beach town at the Jersey Shore, sandwiched right between Atlantic City and Margate. Ventnor is more upscale than Atlantic City but offers less hustle and bustle than Margate. The businesses are mostly grouped together in one section along Ventnor Avenue and at another spot on Atlantic Avenue. The rest of Ventnor NJ is covered in beaches and houses- some summer rentals and other year-round homes for locals. The beaches are safe and clean, and bayside draws fishermen and crabbers, not to mention watersports enthusiasts. Summer brings mostly young families and Baby Boomers, but there is plenty to do for any age if you love the beach and sunshine. Playgrounds, basketball courts, and lifeguard stands are scattered around Ventnor NJ. A state-of-the-art library couples as a community center, hosting various events for visitors and locals. There are surfing classes and surf shops, restaurants and cafes, nail salons and boutiques all within walking distance of the beach. A jitney bus and other forms of public transportation are readily available and affordable. While the atmosphere in Ventnor NJ is far from commercialized, there are several successful businesses. Ventnor real estate has been booming, especially for the past two years. 

While the businesses themselves in Ventnor NJ are all around impressive, their online presence is a different story. A number of local business websites were evaluated, ranked, and graded for their website design and onsite marketing efforts in a recent study of the Best and Worst Ventnor NJ Website Design. Based on the results of this study, the local websites are a poor representation of Ventnor’s current business environment. Most of these businesses websites are seriously underperforming. What this means in the big picture is that these companies are operating on borrowed time. As technology continues to expand and algorithms adapt, business websites must respond in order to compete for attention online and targeted traffic. 

Three websites were named as the best across this town. Many others were grouped together as “high potential,” or were added to the dreaded list of the worst websites across town. The findings were based on a thorough analysis of each website, using a methodical evaluation process.

Here is a list of all websites evaluated for this town. Grades and comments were published on the article, which is on the web design blog.

The top three websites in Ventnor NJ scored the highest overall:

1. Amazing Ventnor 

2. Dr. Gregory J. Mowen, D.P.M.

3. Island Gym 

Next, the websites with the highest potential were ranked in order. Websites in this section usually have earned a grade of C or D, and sometimes F. Any F-level websites that are included on this list were likely categorized as “high potential” based on the overall value or reputation of the business. On a rare occasion, a B-level website will find itself onto the high potential list, but only if the town or county had a better than average selection of business websites.

Here are the websites that earned good or average grades, and/or were labeled as High Potential:

4. Stella Restaurant 

5. Ventnor Coffee 

6. Michael D. Weinraub, P.C.

7. Design Nation 

8. Cardinal Bistro 

Last, there are a number of websites that scored the lowest in this town or county:

9. Sage Restaurant 

10. Lisa’s Pizza 

11. Bubbies Bistro

12. Jagielky’s Homemade Chocolates

13. Sea Le Vie Boutique 

14. Caruso’s Pizza 

15. Sapore Wood Fire Pizza & Restaurant

This comprehensive study is one in a series of location-specific published works. The complete NJ Website Design series provides applicable insight for business owners in towns throughout New Jersey. The website designers and content managers who contributed to this study provided comprehensive notes for each featured business. 

This study was conducted by the team of experts at DotCom Global Media, an established company that specializes in the field of website design and digital marketing. This company has been active for over twenty years and is widely recognized as an authority in digital media.

DotCom CEO, Sam Natello, states there are many features that make website design great and effective. Top scores go to beautiful websites that have useful information and are doing the types of things that make them attractive to Google, while also providing a positive user experience.

“We have incredible businesses here in New Jersey,” said owner Sam Natello, joined by his wife and business partner, Anna. The husband and wife team lead a staff of web designers, content writers, and social media managers from their office in Mays Landing, New Jersey. 

Sam expressed concern with the reality that this study has helped bring to light. “I was shocked and disappointed by the number of poor websites that we found. Some great restaurants and really cool shops have a terrible online presence. I’m surprised they are hanging on today,” Sam continued.

The employee who is spearheading the NJ website design study has a message for business owners. Rhapsody Hahn-Chaney, a content manager at DotCom Global Media and the owner of an e-commerce clothing company, knows firsthand how important the Internet is for business. 

“Your business website is either helping you reach your sales goals, or it’s hurting you. There is no neutral,” Rhapsody says. “Search traffic data shows that people are checking online before visiting a new place or making a purchase. Your first impression is made when they find you online, or if they don’t find you at all. Even if you’re a one location, brick-and-mortar store, pay close attention to your online presence.”
