Stone Harbor Businesses Fail Online Visitors Miserably

(Newswire.net — June 27, 2017) Mays Landing, NJ –In a recently published study named “Stone Harbor NJ Website Design: Evaluation of the Best and Worst,” a number of local business websites were evaluated, ranked, and graded for their website design and onsite marketing efforts.

The team conducting this study said that they intended to feature the top three websites and describe in detail what makes them so great. Unfortunately for Stone Harbor, there are very few businesses with decent websites so only two of them made it to the “best” list.

Many others were grouped together as “high potential” or were added to the dreaded list of the worst websites in Stone Harbor. The findings were based on a thorough analysis of each website, using a methodical evaluation process. Grades were assigned in the areas of website design, features, content, and authority.

Twenty-one business websites were featured in the Stone Harbor NJ Website Design study. There are many little things that make a website design great and effective. Top marks went 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.

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.

“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.”

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.

DotCom Global Media has extended a complimentary offer to the owners of the businesses featured in the series. Business owners can request a free website design report and schedule a phone consultation with Sam Natello, the senior website designer at DotCom Global Media. This is a prime opportunity to explore a website’s current strengths and weaknesses, and to identify opportunities for growth using effective website design and digital marketing strategy.

“I really hope the work that my team has been doing helps local businesses to improve their websites,” Sam said, optimistically. “There is a huge opportunity to grow through effective website design and digital marketing, including social media and content marketing. I would love to see more business owners taking this seriously. It would, without a doubt, breathe new life into our communities.”
