Websites

Content Management Systems
SCDIT is well versed in three biggest CMS's Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress. Each one of these systems offer advantages over each other so we switch between them based on the job requirements. We love using Wordpress for blogs and base websites. When a big job or custom code is needed, we use either Joomla or Drupal depending on which one we feel is a better fit for the job.
CMS Administrators
Today's Content Management Systems are always being updated and developed. We have vast experience in keeping your site up-to-date and safe. We specialize in Joomla but have years of experience with Wordpress and Drupal as well.
Responsive Web Design
Making sure your website looks good on all types of devices. We spend a lot effort into making the design of your site to respond.
Search Engine Optimization / SEO
A great site can get totally missed without the right SEO. Not a lot of people go to the second page of search results, so even fewer go to the third page. Where your site shows up in search engine ranks has everything to do with SEO.
Google Analytics & WebmasterTools
So powerful, so helpful and free. Analytics combined with Webmaster Tools when linked properly gives the website owner a complete view of their website activity. SCDIT know the power of being on the first page of any search results.
508 Compliance - ADA Website Compliance
The Americans with Disabiilities Act became a law in 1990. It is often associated with wheelchair ramps and hand rails, but also covered emerging technology such as websites and mobile devices. Starting in 2018 the law is expected to become more enforced, and companies can be liable for making their public websites work with people with disabilities.
SSL
It was rumored in late 2016 that Google will rank sites higher if they are using a SSL with their website. As we have been talking with hosting companies, they are confirming this rumor. Having your site running over a Secure Socket Layer take a little bit of work, but we have done it a bunch and can share that experience with our customers. A SSL is a requirement when processing credit cards or sending sensitive information such as passwords.
Security Web Access Firewall
Website attacks in the past several years have been on the rise. Attackers can use your site to perform nefarious acts without anyone knowing. These attacks often lead to a complete ban by Google's search engines. It can be very time consuming to not only clean up the site but repair your site's reputation with the search engines. SCDIT has cleaned many different types of websites from a static HTML site up to a customized site running applications.
Social Marketing & Website Integration
One of the most powerful entities to grow out of the internet is without a doubt social networking. What social networks offer businesses and organizations is the easiest and most powerful word of mouth on the planet... for free. This word of mouth is called "Social Marketing".
If your organization has not tapped into the marketing and publicity potential of sites like Twitter, Linked In, and Facebook, then SCD can get you started. We also provide general, and advanced website integration features to give your company, and your website the best kind of publicity these forums have to offer.
