My Story

Design Data Concepts, LLC draws from many years of career history in graphic design, printing, photography and business organization that started with Arthur Graphics Hawaii on the island of Kauai in 1992. In September of 2010, Design Data Concepts came into being in Charlottesville Virginia with a prominent emphasis on creative business services toward the digital marketplace. I'm also armed with a dedicated service attitude, serving each customer with professional loyalty and providing never-ending support. Each customer benefits from my collective experience of business ownership, advertising design, product branding, website design and website programing (development).

The Concept
DDC doesn't build websites, DDC develops online business!

Websites are incorrectly thought of as digital brochures. Your business website cannot be just an Internet display like an online flyer. Well-developed business websites have become central marketing hubs and consoles for sales data control and dashboards for content leadership. Content leadership means your website content speaks to prospects with real experiences, case studies, and storytelling about distinct insights customers like to know about – the unique ideas and informative perspectives on your industry topics.

DDC is a business development service, not just a design service, the emphasis is on development in a dual sense of the word. Develop as in (1) back-end internet coding and (2) front-end business authority with useful tools. Most people think: “We just have to create a beautiful website and it will magically generate sales traffic and earn us a million bucks”. Maybe you’re thinking that once you launch your website, taking your business online, it will open the floodgates to sales. Sure, you can create and launch a website quickly, but then what do you do? You wait. You wait for the mojo of the internet to bring in new customers which actually never happens unless you know how to launch correctly. Launch means much more than just making your website “Go-Live” – It also means the beginning of your branding and advertising efforts. In other words showing off your brand to the community via paid SEO (Search Engine Optimization) activity, PPC (Pay Per Click), Google ads, email marketing, blogs and social media activity.

Maybe you’re wondering about the sites that get picked up really fast, like within months of a launch? You know what’s common in all of them? THEY LAUNCH RIGHT. They get indexed fast. They don’t get penalized by search engines. And they provide a great user experience right from the start. You’re a business owner, don't be looking for just another website; instead, you’ll want to accomplish specific business goals. You’ll want an ON-LINE BUSINESS not a website. Design Data Concepts is an on-line business creator, providing effective tools for accomplishing these goals.

What Is a CMS (Content Management System)?

A CMS lets you edit the content on your website. No matter the size or type of your business, a CMS has become almost indispensable. It operates on the backend of your website, allowing you to manage the content and other facets of your internet presentation, including image control. Another benefit of a CMS is that it makes it easy for your office users with varying levels of tech savvyness.

What Is a CRM (Customer Relationship Management)?

Your most valuable and important asset is your customers. Who are your customers? How do you communicate with them? How do they interact with your company website? What does the potential of new prospects look like? Because you’re now an online business and not just a website, your customers and your knowledge about them is all centralized into a sophisticated database. Everyone in your office will now have coordinated context about each customer’s needs, preferences, and current situation, so they can continue with related conversations without being disjointed. A CRM is a back-end database you can access and utilize as the main sales control tool. No matter the size or type of your business, a CRM has become almost indispensable for knowing your customers. It operates on the backend of your website, allowing you to manage customers and other facets of sales. Another benefit of a CRM is that it makes it easy for your office users with varying levels of tech savvyness.
