Content Management Systems.
Tetrapod specializes in Content Management System designs. This can mean different things to different people, but what this means for us and your website, is that our designs are self-managed. Once your site is up and running, anyone with access can add to or modify the site without any web design knowledge.
Google Analytics.
We spend a good portion of everyday using Google Analytics, and for good reason — Google Analytics is thorough, and a free service provided by Google. It is absolutely the best way to monitor and measure the success of your website.
Who is visiting your site and from where?
How long are they staying and on which pages?
How did they find your site... did another site refer them or was it a search engine?
If it was a search engine, which one and what keywords did they use to find your site?

HTML, PHP, Joomla, CSS, Flash, Fireworks, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and mySQL are some of the tools we have at our disposal.
Search Engine Optimization.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of preparing a website for search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, MSN, AOL etc. to "spider" or "crawl" your website. Search Engines are based on a random algorithm, and each search engine considers their method of returning results as proprietary. That's why when you go to Google and type in a phrase like "car insurance" you will get a different list of companies than you would if you typed that same phrase in Yahoo!
Custom Shopping Cart development.
We have developed many shopping carts over the years using several different systems. Once we know your e-commerce needs, we can suggest the best possible shopping cart alternatives. We will develop your shopping cart to meet your specific needs and online sales goals. We offer simple PayPal or Google Checkout carts to more elaborate, custom shopping carts.
Keyword Research.
Finding Keywords is an art. One of the most important things you can do for your website is determining which search terms are most meaningful. Sometimes called "keywords", search terms are the words and phrases that internet users type in to Google, Yahoo and other search engines when they are looking for something specific. Examples range into the millions but figuring out which keywords and keyword phrases (keywords that are often used together) is critical not only in driving traffic to your website but driving the right traffic.
Content Optimization.
Content Optimization is a concept that maximizes a single page's ability to draw traffic. After you're comfortable with keyword research and have chosen several keyword phrases, it's time to develop content around those keyword phrases.
Facebook Pages.
Just about everybody is on Facebook now. You are, right?Facebook is only getting larger, and their 'Pages' feature is extremely useful as a way to help people promote their businesses. Once your Page is up and running, it is available to everybody on Facebook and their friends. People suggest useful and interesting Facebook Pages to their friends. Facebook Pages can contain anything related to your business or creative enterprise: Descriptions and Mission Statements, to latest news, to Galleries, to Discussion Boards, to posting your Hours of Operation, and also as a way for your 'Fans' to interact and leave comments. We can develop a Facebook Page for your business, website, band, organization, art, or anything and suggested it to over 5,000 people!
