Now is the time to position your business for the forthcoming explosion of the mobile web, plus take advantage of the millions of smart phones already in use which includes iPhones, Blackberrys, Google Android phones, Palm Pilots and Windows based smart phones, among many others. Laptops and netbooks with wireless connections are also becoming widespread. In Key West only Blue Planet can deliver the services and knowledge to make this a reality. Only Blue Planet has full multimedia production services to transport your website and mobile site into the future.

We produce websites to meet business goals. We execute your vision but with clearcut goals in mind. We do not produce websites to try to prove how talented we are or how clever we can be. We do not produce complicated websites that will cost you a fortune. We produce websites that are clean, sites that load fast, and are easy to update in the future. We produce clean and properly executed code that search engines love and you will quickly get good positions in all the major search engines.

Our web sites might be called "simple" but that is a simpification. There are exceptions, but generally the visitor to your site is interested in information and wants to obtain that information as quickly and easily as possible. For most local business, the website is a brochure. The visitor is not going to be impressed by complicated and cluttered web pages. People are seldom impressed by animations or Flash or other gimmicks. The code we produce is also a good start for the mobile web. We can easily produce web sites for both personal computers and mobile devices.

We know how to get your site into the major search engines and get good search results. Some people pay big money to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) companies to get better search results using all sorts of tricks, but we do it the old-fashioned way, getting you better search results without any SEO tricks for which you will be penalized later.

A webpage is written in HTML. HTML consists primarily of tags within brackets. It is basicly text which the computer's internet browser interprets and the computer displays. Blue Planet writes the cleanest code you will find anywhere. This will pay off in the future. You can easily hire a web designer after us to make your site fancier or more interactive. Our pages will load into any graphical web editor.

If you have pages done with a graphical editor, the code will be so convoluted nobody would be able to understand or edit it manually. The code can only be edited using the same graphical program the original designer used. You might well be stuck using a web designer you are unhappy with simply because nobody else local is using the same editor. This is not the case with our sites.

Blue Planet offers a basic business website, including photographs, for only $225. When you want to spend more money and make your site interactive or add other features, any web designer can make use of the existing code. Your investment is not lost and you don't have to start over.

Blue Planet's production desk. Three tower computers to the left (top) includes a Pentium 4 system running CentOS Linux Asterisk PBX. In the middle is a dual processor, dual core Xeon 3.06 ghz system running Vista for Business which includes a 1 gig video card, dual 250 gig hard drives and a dual layer DVD burner used for editing video and audio. A closeup view is shown below which shows a Zip drive and front panel card readers, usb, firewire, a removable sata hard drive rack and other features. At the bottom is an AMD 2400 system for production of web pages and general operations. In the main image is the production desk. To the right our portable studio provides a ten channel audio mixer and other equipment. Underneath the table is a HP DL580 G2 enterprise server with 4 dual-core 2.5 ghz Xeon processors, 4 raid hard drives, dual power supplies and 12 gigs of memory. This system will run many office operations including databases on MS-SQL server.

Another problem with graphical web design programs is that they produce code that is hundreds of times more complicated than the ideal. Everytime an image is moved, the program inserts dozens or hundreds of tiny transparent images into the page. It inserts tons of other code everytime a change is made. This makes the page load slower because all that code has to be transmitted to the user's computer, interpreted by the browser and displayed.

Your site might seem to load fine on a desktop computer with a fast broadband connection, but it will be a totally different story with a mobile device or for one of the millions still using a dialup connection. If your business sells to people outside of the United States, your site might have to be transmitted around the world and can unusable. Potential customers will just click away and go back to the search engine to find someone else to do business with.

Some webpage designers don't even use a HTML editing program. Instead they use a word processing program or a desktop publishing program and export the page to HTML. This is the worst possible code for a webpage.

Although 66.2 million users have a broadband connection to the internet, over 30 million subscribers use dialup access. How fast a webpage loads has a very direct impact on if a person will wait to see your page. People have little patience with the internet (and many other things of course) and will quickly click away to the competition if your page loads too slow.

Another problem will bite you later when you want to make changes to your site. A website done with a graphical editor creates code that is virtually unreadable by a human being. If you want a different company or individual, other than the one doing the original version, to make changes to your site if will be very difficult and expensive. The only practical way to make changes is to find someone who uses the same graphical program, and then make changes which will render the code much worse and make it even more unworkable.

One further major problem is that the users of the graphical design programs often do not edit the photographs they use. The web code can force the image to any size. However, the image is then still very large and takes a long time to load. The oversized image does not improve image quality, it actually reduces it.

Blue Planet writes code directly and it is clear and well organized. It will be easy for anyone to make changes in the future. This will actually cost you less than what other companies charge using graphical programs. Many web designers might be excellent artists and creative, but they seldom know all the rules and techniques. For example; it might seem like a common thing, but many so-called web designers do not know how to propertly size and edit photographs. We properly edit photographs so they load quickly and are still of excellent quality. They also often do not create proper meta-tags for each page and overlook other important details. Doing this since 1994, we know the techniques to create proper web pages that will quickly get excellent position in the search engines, that load fast and display correctly in all browsers at a very competitive rate.
