Websites
are a business necessity - just like a business card or a phone book listing.
Every day, more and more people turn to the Internet for information and making
purchases. If you have a website, you can gain new business that would otherwise
be lost.
Do you want to acquire new clients? - A website allows your business to expand
beyond the geographic borders of your town, city, or state. Potential clients
can easily learn about the products or services that your business offers.
Do you want to serve your clients better? - A website can be a resource to
better serve your existing clients. For example, you can offer clients frequently
updated news and information, provide documents for download, and even take
orders or appointments 24 hours per day
Creating
a website is extremely difficult and time-consuming for a non-professional even
with the simplest tools available. Not only do you need technical skills but
you also need to understand design and usability. You'll often find a site that
is technically adept but lacks visual appeal or maybe you'll find a site that
may look good but scripts don't work or you just get lost. Do-it-yourself websites
very often fail to communicate a professional, positive message - and some may
actually drive customers away. By having an expert build your website, you can
be sure that it's created using the latest technology and designed for ease
of use. This leaves you to concentrate on running your business.
Those
sites offering cheap "brochure" web designs use "cookie cutter"
design. In other words, all the sites they create have the same look and feel
as every other one they've created. You're limited in the number of pages you
get, the number of images you can use and get very little service or support.
Not a very professional image to present to your clients.
Costs
vary according to what you want the website to accomplish. eCommerce sites cost
more than a simple information site. Our prices start at $800 to optimize and
enhance an existing site. To create a new website, our prices begin at $3000.
If you supply us with all necessary content and graphics then the cost should
be closer to $3000. If we create graphics for you or create a complicated site,
costs go up accordingly.
We'll
need examples of sites you like, some for general look and some for functionality
and content. Your company logo and preferred colors. (we can work with you on
this) Your printed and digital promotional material. Examples are: a brochure,
existing Web site, product sheets, etc. Product shots, or other photographs
you would like included in the site. Your URL, user name and password of your
Web hosting account for site upload.
We
are a full service MultiMedia firm that can create beautiful graphics and photography
to enhance your company and your products. Need Video? We can create broadcast
quality video and optimize it to the best output for your target audience. VOD
(video on demand) or Streaming.
Once
we determine your needs, we'll be in a better position to determine the schedule.
Some time factors include whether you want lots of bells and whistles like FLASH
or complicated CGI scripts and how much content and graphics you supply to us.
The more content you give us and the less complicated the website, the less
time it'll take to complete.
That's
what it's all about isn't it? You not only need an informative, creative and
usable site but you've got to let people know how to find you. We create META
tags for your home page which include the site description and "keywords".
This is one of the ways search engines find and categorize your site. We also
optimize the content on your home page for search engines that use other means
of categorizing sites. Finally, our service includes a one time submission of
your site to the top search engines. (does not include sites that charge for
listing)
There
are many different Web Analysis packages you can choose from. Depending on what
kind of information you need, we'll help you decide which one is best for you.
After
we have delivered your website to you, we'll give you all the necessary ID's
and Passwords to modify, upgrade or change your website at your convenience.
If you'd like for us to maintain your site, we have maintenance programs we
can discuss with you.
