Artex Essence and SEO

Artex Essence™ will enter beta testing this week with unique features that will take e-commerce software to a whole new level. Built in keyword density and content relativity modules make it easy to optimize your content for the search engines with minimal effort.

The software will also manage the xml sitemap and keep the search engines constantly up-to-date with new content added to the database. To say the least, this software can save thousands for those who normally hire a search engine optimizer or internet marketing professionals to help them get higher ranking in the search results.

Every page powered by the software, as well as every product will have search engine friendly URLs, well engineered meta tags, and crawler friendly page content. For those who may be concerned about HTML/CSS W3C validation, this software also features a self-cleansing module to fix any mistakes made by the user through the content wysiwyg.

So far the tests has proven successful on our local environment, and we're sure the results will be the same at the end of the week after our first live action test.

Artex Essence™ is expected to be complete sometime before the 3rd week of November.

Artex Studios Update

The last four months have put our company to the test, we have wrapped up 3 out of 5 big projects while constructing our new e-commerce software which shall debut around the holiday season. We will be launching our new website with a fresh redesign, and a brand new software to drive it. There will be new additions to the portfolio which will showcase the talents that we have yet been able to demonstrate the way we would have liked to before.

We are also wrapping up our own custom blog software in which we will be putting to use soon after we launch our new design, we still plan on keeping our blogger online and updated along with our own custom blog. We will soon be launching a sneak preview of our new software here exclusively on blogger and we will be discussing some of the features in which makes our software unique when in comparison to others on the market. We're not here to be just another web design company.. we're here to take the world wide web to the next level!

Yahoo Store Web Design from Artex Studios

There are many changes our company is going through lately, a new design, new software, new management, and now new services and solutions! Yahoo Merchant Solutions is a Yahoo inc. e-commerce platform that often is affordable for startup businesses and existing businesses online who prefer a quick and simple e-commerce solution rather than a custom tailored one.

Yahoo Merchant Solutions aka Yahoo Stores do not come with a custom design solution meaning you can either select a pre-made template, or you can hire a designer to create a custom presentation for your Yahoo Store... This is where we come in! We are currently working on a few projects now using Yahoo's API for creating custom designs for the Yahoo Stores, giving us yet another service to offer our clients... Now we can bring our next generation web design services to the Yahoo customers as well!

So basically we are now offering Web Design services with free basic SEO for Yahoo Merchant Solution customers. ArtexStudios.com, your one stop solution for web design, web development, and internet marketing!

Artex Studios Update

It has been around a month since the last update, and I felt best to update the journal since there is some excitement surrounding the new look and feel of artexstudios.com. We currently have a few projects going that hold a high priority, so not much has been done with the Emerge project in these last few weeks. Despite that.. there has been major changes to the layout and design of the site, we are going to bring some interactive elements to the new design as well as a more stylish and easier to navigate interface to boost the look and feel of our new presentation! We are more than confident that the visitors to the new artexstudios.com will be very pleased with the results once the project is published.. I plan on airing some small clips and teaser images of the new design soon just to raise the anticipation!

Dion and I have been working in spare time on our own custom blog software in which we will be installing on the new Artex Studios website as well as our own personal sites ( jamesgober.com & dionlewis.com )... we still plan on keeping the blogger sites online, and we will keep them updated from time to time, but the official blogs will move to our own custom software giving us more control over our content and design. Soon after the blogs go online we will be launching our ecommerce and online business solutions branch artexbusiness.com.. so there is a lot of work to be done and we're excited to have these projects finished and published so we can continue to get things rolling forward!

This concludes the Artex Studios Update, I will be posting back soon. Thanks for reading!

SEO at work!

For every web design project we take on, we provide search engine optimization at no extra cost. While our clients had effective basic SEO, our own site was lacking in the search engines which caused a few prospects to question the effectiveness.

In the month of April 2008, we applied the same basic SEO solution that we provide our clients freely to test and so far in less than a month's time we already have positive results! artexstudios.com already has a Google page rank 3, and we show up within 4 pages on some of our keywords already.. Within the next few weeks we will put our advanced Search Engine Optimization solutions to the test and we will be posting updates periodically on the success of that campaign.

The NEW Artex Studios

Over the last few months, Artex Studios LLC has been undergoing an exploratory stage testing out new ideas and planning the future of our company. We have established new management and a whole new policy, and best of all we have a new site coming!

The Emerge project which is still in beta has given us all the statistics we need to provide an even more enchanting website to represent our company. As always we are still dedicated to delivering the best interactive web design and internet marketing services available, as well as our ecommerce and business solutions!

The new ArtexStudios.com along with the other sub-sites are expected by the end of May, changes will be made before then so be sure to keep checking back for updates.
