Branding is the glue that brings your business's product or service, website, packaging, imagery, and everything else together. Your brand identity is what determines your logo design, the look and feel of your web design, your product packaging design, your employee's uniforms, and so much more! To say that's it an important thing is truly an understatement; it's beyond critical to the success of your business.

Local Website Design Company Information for Maryland

Over the past 5 years, we designed and built many websites in the Baltimore, Maryland area of the state. Towns like Towson, Reisterstown, Cockeysville, Timonium, Hunt Valley, and others have all been hotbeads for website design and construction and we couldn't be happier with our clients in these areas.

This being said, because our customers know we're straight shooters when it comes to educating the public with website design and construction, many also trust us enough to ask who some of our top competitors are.

Who Are The Best Website Builders in Baltimore, Maryland (Reviews/Ratings)

Each year, we at Catalpha meet with many businesses in the central Maryland area with respect to their business website design or redesign project. And because so many folks know our thoughts and feelings (from this website) on all things "website", they often ask us who are some of the other web designers and competitors we have in the area.

Many prospective customers come to us with the same question in mind. “How much does a website cost?” Most don’t understand what goes into making a website and why it costs what it does.

To start off 2016, I’m supplying a breakdown of possible website design costs as a guide to those that find themselves searching for a web designer/builder. I think once you have a chance to review this article, you’ll better understand the costs associated with your type of website. If not, you only need to contact me for clarification.

Marketing your business can be tough at first, but not if you plan things carefully. In order to do so, there are a few things you're going to want to know about.

A conversation with a professional marketing manager and how their company sells new products into big retail stores.

Catalpha:    I'm talking with Tracy today.  She is the Retail Marketing Manager for a large consumer health products company.  Tracy, if you could tell me a little bit about what your responsibilities are?

Tracy:     Sure. My responsibilities are to build out the marketing programs within retail. So that's creating the tools for the stores, whether that's indoor events or signage or it could be coupons. 

I'm driving traffic to the store in the Sunday paper, and driving traffic to the aisles and increase the sales in the stores. As well as working with each individual retailer on their marketing program.

And part of that is supporting our sales team and getting them the tools they need to make sales calls, trade shows and trade ads to sell our products into stores.

The digital age has created a dichotomy between consumers and organizations that is unlike anything the business world has encountered before. Thanks to social media, past customers can leave reviews, giving consumers a voice and holding businesses accountable for their actions. Plus, it's easier than ever for potential consumers to type a business name into a search engine to find all their dirty laundry.
