What We Think

We Love Drupal

Taoti is one of Washington DC’s top Drupal developers. We eat, sleep and breathe it. If you know Drupal, you already know why. If not…

Just about every client we get wants to know if we can get them in the top 10 results on Google for their particular keywords.

Pay Per Click

Taoti can take this massive learning curve off your plate. We offer fully managed PPC campaign services. Our PPC experts are Google-trained, so they know exactly how the system works.

Some Keywords Will Cost You....Big Time!

If your organization has ever gone through a web design or application development project, chances are it was both overwhelming and frustrating.

Is Social Media Really Free?

The Social Media craze has hit all sorts of businesses, from large to small. Nowadays, even your Mom & Pop Store is using Facebook, Twitter and every last social media outlet under the sun.

Pay Per Click in a nutshell

Pay per click advertising can be somewhat confusing at first, but we hope that after reading these questions you have a better understanding.

How Much Does a Website Cost?

This is of course one of the most common questions we’re asked. And, of course, there is no simple answer (you didn’t really expect there to be one, did you? ;-)

Keep Your Passwords Secure

The article discusses the elements of a good password and explains why you should think twice when you’re about to use your girl-friend’s name as the basis of your next password.

Google Adwords: Your problem is probably not your keywords!

The other day, one of our clients said that he didn’t have any luck using Google’s Adwords (pay per click ads). We took a look and found out the real issue.

How to ‘tag’ your site for the benefit of search engines (hint: you don’t!)

The low hanging fruit here is in ‘stuffing’ content pages full of keywords (as much as possible, without getting absurd about it.)

Taoti’s Twitter Experiment

We call this the ‘Twitter Experiment.”

A Picture is not Worth 1000 (Search Engine Optimized) Words

All About Logo Design

The point of a logo is to provide a visual element that people can look at and instantly recognize.

What's In A Name?

We do a lot of logo and corporate branding work, so we deal with a lot of clients who haven’t quite firmed up their company name yet. Enough that I figured it was worth addressing for posterity.

Web Hosting Migration

When Taoti builds or redesigns a website, we typically also host it. If you had a website up before, that means we need to transfer your web hosting from your current provider to our us.

Writing "SEOed" Web Content

At the end of the day, if I could give one piece of advice to people looking for better search engine rankings, it would be: “Write better content, and more of it!”

Secure Web Programming

Today, most people associate security only with servers and hosting. And while true, most security hazards do lie with the server, the software itself can play a major role in keeping hackers out.
