Site Registration:
We provide registration services, both initial and renewal, at very low cost.

Site Hosting:
We offer multiple hosting options, with a wide variety of tools and capabilities; simple sites, with fast connections to complex solutions with shopping carts, password protected areas, secure server and search capabilities.

Search Engine Optimization:
We design all of our sites to be Search Engine Friendly and each site can be further optimized to rank high in a particular area. The search engine optimization work, that has been an important function of designer/developers, is becoming less and less relevant and more difficult. This is because as more and more sites are added to the internet, the competition for placement is very high and the algorithms used to figure this placement, have changed to use what is called page rank rather than the old keywords and phrases.

This page rank relies heavily on links that lead to the site and the words that are used in the linking site to describe the target of these links. The logic behind this is that if other sites think your site is important as a link connected to a keyword or phrase, than there must be some validity to this keyword or phrase. The more sites that link the higher the page rank.

The old way was with keywords and phrases with keyword and key phrase loaded text, but as this was well known and used extensively, the search engines would end up with hundreds of sites that ranked very closely with keyword placement and density. This keyword density can detract from the effectiveness of the site to the individual visitor, as key-phrase repetition and placement can detract from the overall message. The game now is to create link pages and link exchanges and these are growing at a rapid rate to raise a sites page rank.

For those who wish high search engine placement, we recommend a Google adwords campaign, this is a very cost effective way of getting top search engine placement without the games and the continual tweaking of your site to maintain placement. . We run many adwords campaigns and have found them to be productive, with a very high return on investment.

Goggle /Ad-word campaigns:
We have found that due to the huge amount of Search Engine competition and the continual adjustments we have to do to rate high with certain search terms. Goggle Adwords are the best solution for high Search Engine placement. This is not a guess but a fact, we have multiple clients who have had decent Search Engine placement over the years but found their placement slipping as others found ways to better their ratings at our customers cost. We would have to back and tweak the site and slowly they would go back up. This is because the algorithm that Google uses changes from time to time and we have to change with it. This is costly and there is always a lag.

Adwords, however, allows us to stay at the top of the page and the position they provide brings in traffic. In an adwords campaign, we bid for a position on the page and the cost vary by the amount of competition. We only pay for clickthrus, that is if users actually go to your site. The site add is seen by everyone who uses your search terms but you only pay for clickthrus. Costs vary, but we can set up an account, then check estimated cost per clickthru and position and if these meet your approval we can activate. We can set daily limits on how much we wish to spend. Account costs vary for our clients from less than $5.00 per month to over $500 per month for a large insurance business who pays for many clickthrus every day. These accounts do need a deposit in the amount of a months charges.

Site updating:
We offer two styles of updating, a Content Management Software ( a robust off the shelf package) and personal updating by our staff. The Content Management system we use is installed on the server and allows owners to edit pages and change images (photos) with their Web Browser (Internet Explorer). The program provides an interface like MS Word and is quite easy to use. If your site updates less than weekly (the majority of sites), a personal update is more cost effective. We can update extremely quickly and don't charge by the update but by the time involved. This means we often do three, four, five or six monthly updates before we have done an hour of billable time and then we send a bill for the hour. For most customers it would take many years to justify the expense of the software. For someone who updates weekly and has a great deal of changes to make on a regular schedule, Content Management is a wonderful cost-effective tool.

Site upgrading:
Site upgrading is extremely important for most of us who use the web as a major source of sales or contact. The technology and tools are growing and becoming more sophisticated on almost a daily basis. These new tools and technologies allow us to better do our work and provide our customers with better services and capabilities.They can lower our costs, provide better management and control. They can also allow us to better track performance. These tools ultimately allow us to increase our profits and in the great majority of cases, way beyond the cost of implementation.

Performance Tracking:
The tools for website performance tracking have evolved and we can provide a robust statistical reports on daily, weekly or monthly plans.
