For many kennel owners and dog breeders, finding new customers can be hard, especially on the Internet. Because of the large amount of web design service providers, it has become more important for business owners to find a web designer that specializes in their niche or market. An animal breeder, kennel owner, or pet product inventor can find a design team that understands their market perfectly and gets the results they are looking for.

While there are thousands of web design companies offering a variety of services, you should find a company that offers web design services specifically for pet sites. They can offer a variety of search engine optimization services such as search engine submission and keyword optimization, and also build a world-class site but make sure that potential pet customers will see it as well. By being a part of the pet community, it is easier for a specialist to get your message in front of qualified pet customers.

“The months of July and August are traditionally slow for local puppy sales in Oklahoma. I had several litters of puppies the first week of July. In desperation I began searching for an adequate website and checked with several general webmasters with disappointing results.” said Karen of Puppy Love Farms. “Either too much money, no response, or could not get website up for months.”

Some of the questions to ask a perspective website design company:
1. How much experience do you have designing websites in my industry?
2. Do you have testimonials of other people in my industry that you have built sites for?
3. What is your vision for my website?
4. How long will it take you to answer calls or emails if I have questions?
5. How much is the consultation?
6. How much is the website design?
7. Who will make the changes and updates?
8. What kind of support can I expect after the job is done?
Eventually, Karen from Puppy Love Farms learned that she could find website specialists that cater to her industry. They knew how to advertise her website on the major search engines like Google and Yahoo, as well as post ads on websites that pet lovers would frequent. “What a difference! They were prompt, polite and positive. They told me exactly what I could expect with my website and they were exactly correct. I sold 7 puppies in one week!”
