Website Design / Development
This is the service that you are most likely here for. We are able to create a new website for your business or organization. Not only do we focus on aesthetically pleasing design principles, we also make sure your website is effective and user friendly. With our design and development services you won't need to do anything other than supply your input as to what you want done. You will be responsible for the content of your site. We will gladly help you with writing some copy and organization of online product listings but you should have an idea what you want your page to say about your business. We use the latest XHTML, CSS, and PHP as well as professional graphic design.
Search Engine Optimization
Our next service is for the most part included with all of our design packages. We offer free on-page optimization on all designs. This means we will create your site so that it will appear as high as possible for your keywords. Even the most beautifully designed websites are not effective unless they can be found. We have been in the business of running our own websites for profit before deciding to expand into design and development for businesses. 99% of the traffic producing income on our network of sites is organic traffic coming from search engines. We use the latest tools and technology known in the field of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). We also offer some additional SEO packages to assist your site's search engine rankings. These packages get other websites to link to your page. Although these links will not bring any traffic directly they will increase your site's exposure to the search engines and make your site perform better.
Photography
We offer our services as photographers if you need some photos of your business and or products for your new website project. If you have pictures you would like to use already, then you will not need our help. We focus on designing and developing websites, so there is no preset pricing for these services. They can be discussed more once we see what you need. If you need these services please contact us for more information.
Site Updates / Maintenance
Once your website is live there is a good chance you will want to occasionaly update with new information or products. We will do this for you for $25 per hour. While this may seem like a lot, it really isn't since updates won't take long at all. Simple changing a featured product on a homepage with a picture, name, description, and price of the product, for example, may only take several minutes. Like our photography services, it may get complicated depending what you need so custom pricing and payment options can be worked out. Flexibility is key to us to make our business relationship the highest quality possible.
Hosting
Hosting is needed in addition do a designed website and a domain name to keep your site online. We strongly reccomend you host with us. The cost is $15 per month for any site with a reasonable amount of traffic. Extremely high traffic websites may cost more to host. If your site is hosted with us, we will make sure it stays online and it will be very easy for us to maintain. If you would like to use another host it may be arranged, however there may be other fees from us because it will make it considerably harder for us to manage your project. Updates will also cost more with outside hosting since we would have to work with another company to access your site and use unfamiliar software on their servers. Another downside to hosting with someone else is that we cannot be responsible for their servers going down. You would then have to address any problems with the site not loading, with that other hosting company.
Social Media Management, Marketing, and Development
Social networking is taking charge of the internet and advertising all together. Social Networking refers to sites such as MySpace and FaceBook where users interact and share things they find interesting. This is a great place for your company to have a strong presence, as once your company is visible, your customers can leave comments, suggest you to their friends, and leave feedback on what they thought of your company or business. This can be extremely helpful, especially if your company does something new. The best part is, once your have the accounts set up, any viral effect that takes place when people discuss your business is free exposure to potential customers. With our Social Media Management services, we will create a profile for your company on MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter. These are the three leading social network sites, each with their own benefits to your company. Each will have your company logo as the image and any information (prices, hours, contact information, link to website, map, etc) that you decide you want on the profiles will be added (some sites like Twitter don't have room for a large profile, but wherever there is large profile space your information will be added).
