A solid background in graphic design, readability and distribution
equipped us for success in the new media of the World Wide Web.

In the early days of the internet, the most popular services were purely text bulletin boards and Usenet news groups. When the first web browsers came along, we realized it was the perfect for print media style content but would not serve as well for multimedia content. It is a fact that even today some of the most popular and visited websites (i.e. macintouch, slashdot, dealmac), do not contain any images or “flash” pages!

Our web design philosophy has always emphasized simple, fundamental design well presented to the largest possible audience. We do not recommend putting flashy design between our clients and their customers. Ease of use and navigability is the number one demand of web visitors and cluttered, distracting, hard to navigate websites are their number one complaint! We make it easy for our customers to reach their customers.

Today the reality of the internet is universal and global. In North Carolina, 90% of homes and businesses are connected with people searching for information, services and goods.

Search engines are striving to make it easier for visitors to quickly find helpful information about local businesses as more consumers turn to the Internet instead of the yellow pages and other print sources. Google, the most widely used search engine, blends addresses, phone numbers, maps, driving directions and other details, like user reviews and credit card information, on the same Web page. It is critical for a business to get high rankings with Google and other internet search engines.

MarketPress was one of the first to publish content on the web taking advantage of search resources long before Google and others. We have a record of getting high results for our clients because we know the search engines and they know us!
