Custom Design
Sometimes a template site just doesn't fit your style. You need flexible design options that uniquely identifies your business or practice. Do you know which crucial design elements help attract your target market and grow your business? We do. Spot graphics can make your website shine, or they can make it looked cluttered and unprofessional. Work with our designers to develop a customized look that showcases the brand that builds your business.
Go Mobile
There's no doubt about it, handheld and mobile devices are becoming more popular every day. If you have one, you know that surfing the web can be tedious if the website you're looking at isn't 'Mobile Friendly'. Trying to cram an entire website into a 3" screen doesn't make for the best user experience. The content can be small and hard to read, and the menu items and links are difficult to 'click' on. We can upgrade you to a website that renders a version specifically designed to work on smartphones and tablets. Menu items become easy to navigate, and your content doesn't get lost on a tiny screen.
Enhance Your Website Copy
Poorly-written copy can be the kiss of death for your website. It can offend, confuse, or simply bore your prospects. A website full of confusion, boredom and grammatical errors leads to an unprofessional image. Increase your credibility with polished, professional copy that compels your target audience. Our copywriters can write it for you or better yet, make what you already have really rock.
Mass Mailing Solution
Internet marketing revolves around capturing email addresses. The prettiest website in the world isn't doing it's job if it isn't building your list. Have total control over your mailing list, auto-responders and newsletters. Your mass mailing solutions are incorporated directly into the back end of your website. This means that your list stays on your server, not someone else's. Pay once for the integration of your mass mailing software and never pay a monthly fee for newsletters again.
Publish Your Blog
One of the best ways to boost your visibility, and your search engine ranking is an active blog. An active blog directs traffic to your website. It is is also a great way to build community around your business or practice. It also establishes you as an expert resource in your field. Get started with a blog that’s integrated directly with your website. Our blog packages come with complete comment systems that allow fully automated moderation, so no unwanted or inappropriate comments make it to your website.

Once you're up and running you we'll send free monthly analysis reports to you for the first six months which includes rankings for your top ten keywords. Watch trends develop, and adjust your marketing strategy accordingly. Continued reporting services are available after the six month period has expired.
Build Your Brand with Social Media
It seems that new social media sites appear overnight. Sometimes they're referred to as Web 2.0 properties. How can you make them work for you? Integrate your site with the three essential social media sites, Twitter, Facebook and Linked-In. Stay connected with conversations in your industry. We can customize your pages so they match your website, and connect all three media services so you only have to update once. If you'd like the feed to come from one of these services to your website, we can do that as well.
Create a Membership-based Community or Forum
One of the best ways to keep customers is to make them feel like they're at home. Make your site somewhere they can come back to for advice, support, or simply just to feel that they aren't alone. Creating a community via a members-only access area or login gives each member their own area for a profile, blog or picture gallery as well as other assorted information they'd like to share with the community. Incorporate a Forum or Discussion Board so your visitors are able to post a discussion topic or ask you common support questions. Membership based services can be delivered by you free of charge to your clients or can be monetized with a recurring monthly subscription fee for ongoing support, mastermind groups, etc.
Get Feedback From Your Users
Integration of a questionnaire or poll is a great way to have your users a part of your website. It gives you a way to know what your prospects want so you can better serve them. It also gives them an incentive to return on their own. Don’t let your visitors forget you. Turn anonymous visitors into prospects using Opt-In Forms, Newsletters, E-mail Campaigns, and Tracking. Stay in touch and build lasting relationships.
E-commerce
At some point you may need to take orders through your website. Having a payment solution that works for you and your users is imperitive to your survival. Whether you need a simple payment solution such as Paypal or Google Checkout, or a full blown shopping cart with your own merchant account, we can work with you to, so you can meet your needs without exceeding your budget.
RSS Feed
