We offer the best of both worlds. Our websites are both
aesthetically pleasing, as you can see from the list of
sites in the website portfolio,
but we also build our websites to be search engine
friendly, fast loading, easily navigated, and accessible
to widest range users. There are many other benefits to
our web services. Look below for more information.
Everyone can access the site
Many web browsers display
websites incorrectly, and this can make your website
feel “broken” or unfinished, which reflects on your
business. Also, many sites need to be changed as new
versions of web browsers are released, causing down time
and loosing your business customers and money. Websites
built with web standards can easily stand the test of
time, and never need to be updated to support browser
updates/new browsers. This means your website will look
great in Internet Explorer 5, 6, 7, and eventually 8+ as
well as Firefox, Opera, Safari, and many other browsers.

Search engine friendly
Many People pay thousands of
dollars on “pay-per-click” ads in search engines such as
Google, MSN, and Yahoo! Websites built with web
standards have the upper hand. With stream-line
navigation, clean coding, and valuable content, search
engines list your site before your competition.

Easy stream-line navigation
Let’s face it, today the
internet is about how fast you can find the information
you are looking for. Web Accessible sites make finding
content on a website very easy and straight-forward.
Heartland Technology Solutions builds sites with this in mind
because if you cannot find the information you are
looking for you will simply go somewhere else.

Easy to maintain
The cost of maintaining a website can
be huge, but without maintaining it, you leave your
visitors with no reason to return. We build websites
that are easily maintained and updated by you.

Faster load time
There is still a large portion of the
population who uses dial-up internet on a daily basis.
Why build websites that would discourage users on
dial-up to visit. Heartland Technology Solutions builds web pages to
load as fast as possible. Back to the top.
Equal usability to impaired users
Visually impaired,
physically handicapped, and others such as the elderly
frequently have problems seeing and navigating websites.
Image and flash based navigations are especially
difficult and can limit you from ever reaching part of
your audience. Arguably the most important visitors to
your site (search engine spiders) are blind, and cannot
read images or flash. Can your website be navigated
without the use of a mouse? How about without images? If
the answer is no, then your website may be a legal
liability. If handicapped people are unable to access
your website (this is especially true with government
and public websites) you may be at risk for a lawsuit.
Heartland Technology Solution websites based on the guidelines set
forth by the W3C. Back to the top.
Aesthetically pleasing
Heartland Technology Solution's web and
creative teams work hand in hand to build a website that
is both aesthetically pleasing as well functional and
accessible. We work with your existing brand image to
build a consistent look and feel for your brand.

Mobile Devices
Websites built for accessibility make
navigating sites with a mobile device possible. This is
a growing technology, and its popularity is growing
quickly. Make sure you take into consideration this new
technology. Back to the top.
Site stability
While your site is down it is loosing
you potential business. It is also a reflection of your
business. HTS creates sites that you can maintain
without the chance of damaging the site’s
infrastructure. Back to the top.
