Web Design

Home Page
This is the heart of your Web site. Unless you're only looking for a one-page site, this is simply the starting spot - most sites will require at least two more pages. Home pages work well when set up to orient new visitors to what they can expect to find through the rest of the site as well as providing helpful links to other areas of the site to get them started.

Additional Page(s)
These are all the additional sections of your site. 'About', 'News' and 'Contact' are conventional site sections, but we can tailor-fit any and all additional pages to your needs exactly.

Contact Form
Having your contact info on your site is a must, but you could really enhance your visitors' experiences with a contact form. With this, your visitors can enter in their pertinent info (though only their email address is needed) and send you a message directly through your contact page. If you'd like, we can also set up a database to automatically save their email address/info for later use, such as..

Newsletter
If you have something to say, a newsletter is a great way to stay in touch with your audience while providing some helpful information. This is also a terrific way to add more content to your site. The search engines love keyword-rich content that gets updated frequently, so your site should go up in search engine result rankings, as well! Combine that with a list of email addresses and you have on your hands a one-click method of posting fresh content to your site as well as automatically sending out emails to all your contacts. Simple. Effective. Amazing.

Blog
For those who'd like to update their site more frequently, a blog would be something to really consider. In essence, a blog is a site (or part of one) which is updated very frequently with content ranging from personal stories and thoughts to links to relevant news articles to authoritative articles on areas of expertise. There are literally millions of bloggers making it happen already, and we make it super-easy to for your to join them, too!

Podcast
A podcast is basically a blog, except instead of text and images your subscribers will receive audio content. The whole process is pretty simple: you record your podcast, we post it and whomever elects to subscribe will have it downloaded to their computer or media player automatically. It's a great way to develop a lasting relationship with your audience as well as entertaining and informing them.

Manager
If you're looking to really get their website working for you without breaking the bank, our Manager option could be just what you're looking for. Our proprietary, hand-created software will allow you to create, update and manage data for nearly anything and everything you'd care to work on. We've had great success with designing sites for newsletter/blog management, invoicing, contact list updating and even wedding planning. What can we help you with?

Services

Web Hosting
We have our own dedicated servers and keep them running like a Formula 1 race car. A generous amount of disc space and bandwidth are included with your account. We charge only $10/mo, have no contracts or obligations, and invoice yearly!

Email Accounts
A great way to look more 'pro' is to have a your-name@your-domain.com email address. If we host your site, you get six adresses gratis, and we can even help you set them up on your computer!

Stats Panel
This is also included in your hosting package. We can give you a guided tour of your statistics panel, which includes such helpful information as a running graph of visitors and usage by month and year, as well as details on search engine conversions and even which Web browser each visitor was using when they visited your site!

SEO
To really make your site work for you, we have a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) package available. When someone enters a query in a search engine (Google, for example), the search engine does its best to find the most relevant and authoritative pages to link to so the person can find what they want. We have a well-informed knowledge of the best ways to provide your content to search engines and build up the overall impression they have of your site, which will result in higher rankings on results pages and thusly more qualified visitors for you!
