Web Design & Development Services , Hosting and Domains A website is an effective worldwide marketing tool providing information about your company or services.

It will conduct online sales of your products and services or can serve as a personal site for the purpose of sharing information with family and friends.

At no additional charge to the client, our websites provide search engine optimization, e-mail accounts, broadcast e-mail capabilities, password restriction, relevant link building, and web statistical reports . Additional for-fee services include Flash Intros, e-commerce design, writing copy, and more. We also provide domain name registration and hosting packages.

Why a Website?

The public now expects businesses and organizations to have a Web site -- one that can, at the very least, supply basic information and a means of getting in contact. A Web site has become nearly as essential as a telephone or fax machine or printed brochure. But apart from fulfilling the public's expectations, a Web site will also help your business increase profits. Increasingly, people search the Web when looking for a service or product. If they don't find your business represented, they will find your competitor's business.

What Can a Website Do For Me?

A few examples of immediate, practical benefits:

Expand the effect of a print ad. Addition of a Web site address to an ad, even a very small one, means that anyone intrigued by the ad can
immediately access much greater amounts of information about your company.

Save time. Much company time and effort is often wasted by repeatedly providing the same information either by phone or in person. Have a section on your site that provides answers to frequently asked questions. Make it easier for potential customers to find you.

Will a Website Make My Business Immediately More Successful?

Does a phone, or fax machine or brochure? All are tools for communication and promotion, but need to be used effectively. On the other hand, neglecting to have one of these tools can put your company at a competitive disadvantage. No company operates without a phone. A Web site -- and the services it can provide -- is equally essential for a 21st century business.

"Build it and they will come". Many people believe that the mere existence of a website will generate new business. This could not be further from the truth. Business owners need to consistently self-promote by mentioning their web address, informing existing and prospective customers of a web presence, and making their web address available on all promotional materials created by the company.

How can I Promote My Website Offline?

The concept of a paperless office is all very well, but your potential customers live in an offline world. To get their attention, you need to reach them where they live. Here’s how:

Stationery Every item of stationery that leaves your office is an opportunity to promote your website. Make sure your website address (URL) appears on every single piece of stationery including: — Business cards — Letterheads — Envelopes — Address labels — Fax Cover Sheets — Checks — Invoices — Receipts — Order/Reorder Forms

Promotional Items Items that people use every day are a great way of keeping your name in front of your customers. Make sure your URL appears prominently and it will be a constant reminder to visit your website. Promotional items that lend themselves well to this concept include: — Coffee mugs — Paper weights — Pens — T- Shirts — Calendars — Key chains — Magnets — Bumper stickers — Baseball Caps
