Small Business Website Basics

    • Why do you need a website? Today, most small businesses need an online presence as much as they need a cell phone or transporation.  Now a days there are so many options to choose from and this task can sometimes be a bit overwhelming for a non technical business owner.  We keep the process simple and effecient from planning to launch.  Our project managers will take the mystery out of the decision making process and give you the attention you deserve.
    • Simple Design. Look for ways to simplify the overall concept of your website.  The simpler things start out the easier they are to maintain and the easier they are to make improvements and changes to optimize your entire process.
    • Less Simple. If you are going to be selling products and need an ecommerce solution there are numerous ways to achieve this goal.  Most companies try to sell you on expensive ways leaving you with a site that is not maintanable and suitable for your type of envirnment.  That leaves you  in a bad position with your customers because the weight of the site grew faster than your operational model.  We encounter this on a daily basis and can show you how to expect the unexpected.  
    • Complex. If your site is going to be the main driver of sales for your organization then you need a professional company with experience in this arena to guide you throughout the process.  We take great pride in dealing with larger clients simply because we have managed the same type of environment you are trying to create.  A large complex site has a lot of moving parts, complex programming, and overall maintenance that needs to be organized and delivered virtually all at the same time.  We have the knowhow to accomodate for the most complex of ideas, operating requirements, and ongoing maintenance.  
    • Very Complex. At times not all systems are created equal and require improvements or need to be built from scratch to ensure our clients goals are met and delivered as expected.  Custom software applications along with high level programming need to be planned and executed at a professional level.  We can meet your need on time and on budget given our expertise is driven by this industry and we research the best possible way to achieve your goals.  We also keep in mind that your business needs to grow over time and systems today need to be able to achieve the same result.

The Must Haves of a Small Business Website

  • Hosting.  Most companies today have the capability to offer you a hosting solution to meet your needs.  We take this a step further and combine 3 elements of hosting to allow for your type of environment and future requirements.  Cloud Hosting is the most effective technology used in the industry today simply because it is on demand scalability.  This means that at any point in time you need more bandwidth, storage, or you can click and add to your current solution in real time.  Virtual Servers are common and relatively inexpensive given you are sharing the physical resources of a number of servers.  If your site needs more resources, you are allocated the amount that you need.  Dedicated Hosting has been around for a while and unlike shared hosting you recieve 100% of what you purchased for the entire server configuration.  This is just the tip of the sword when it comes to configuration and choices, but we have given much thought and offer a wide range of hosting solutions to fit your every need.
  • Design. Our design services are one the most unique in the industry today.  We utilize several different platforms and have a wide range of flexibility so you are guaranteed to be pleased with our results.  We love new concepts and ideas to develop on, yet support multiple industries and have a great reputation of proven success.  Our concepts are designed around your unique goals and business objectives so rest assured we put the customer first.
  • Marketing. Launching a brand new website or redesign is just the beginning.  Online marketing can be the difference between getting found today and getting found later.  We use a wide range of tools to put together an initial plan to get your website found and keep it there for the long term.  Through a combination of SEO, PPC, and Social Media we can put your website in front of highly targeted viewers.
  • Maintenance. Maintaining a website is a very important part of success.  Fresh content, the most recent technology updates, and ongoing support for additions and new innovation creates an inviting place for your visitors and will aid in your total online success.  We have developed a unique approach to this type of need.  We allow you to purchase on demand additions, maintenance by the hour, or dedicated support.

Small Business Websites

Small businesses using the Internet as a means of driving business are to be credited.  Your small business website should be used as a marketing tool and also treated as such.  There are challenges in properly setting up yourself up to handle a website of a large scale, but beginning online is quite simple and very rewarding. Small business websites grant you the opportunity to potentially tap into newly found customers all because you chose to include a small business website in addition to your brick and mortar business.  It's no secret that online selling is more convenient as it allows for your customers to view your products or services at any time.  

Where do you start? If you have a small business website already, chances are that you are looking to accomplish more than what is currently happening with your website.  Older designs and technology might be out dated and need some upgrades or you might like to add a few features you feel would engage your audience a little better.  Perhaps you tried online marketing and had mediocre results and would like to enhance your online visibility.  All of these things are possible if you have a small business website.  If you are new to the online world of business promotion and selling, we can offer you a small business website tailored to how you would like to begin.  Given that the cost of websites over the past 5 years is becoming more affordable, the first thing you need to think about is what would you like your customers or visitors to be able to do on your website.  This presents your first objective or goal for your small business website.  The design of your website should support these efforts and give a funnel effect lead by attractive calls to action and high quality content.  Ultimately achieving your defined goal or goals.  We have had the opportunity of working with small business websites for over 10 years and we have the knowledge to incorporate many features, add-ons, and support for your business needs.  

Choosing a name for your small business website represents your brand on the web.  Some small business owners choose to use their company name, while others support their online efforts through a range of more targeted names that basically sell the companies products or services.  This process is something to consider as you will want to be remembered online.  Researching keywords and knowing their search habbits is a great start for your small business website name.  We have the knowledge to assist you with this process and it can really be an eye opener when you see the results.  

The small business website design process should involve the decision maker for the business.  Working with the owner or higher powers is a must given that revisions will need to be approved and any operational responsibilities delegated.  This is farley common with most small business websites and we have a client portal for maximum communication and project management.  This allows you to track the progress, make comments, approve designs, and us to manage the entire process efficiently.

Marketing your small business website properly takes extensive research and testing.  We have designed some unique marketing packages for our new clients starting out that gives them maximum exposure for the money.  Local placement on search engines, proper SEO and link building, along with PPC for immediate traffic.  The choice will depend on your monthly advertising budget which we can help you determine for maximum ROI.  Each business is unique and this is why we say these are custom small business website packages.

Maintaining your small business website package is probably the most neglected point of small business owners.  This is where you get caught in a non supported pickle.  For example, the technology used to build your small business website requires an update, and the new technology uses this new update to function properly.  We only use top supported technology to minimize the risk of you loosing your initial investment due to this type of situation.  Small business website maintenance should be performed regularly so you can plan for interruptions or upgrades ahead of time.

The benefits of having a small business website far out weigh the overall must do's along the way.  This is your space on the web and you want to present yourself accordingly.  Small business website features that engage your audience are proven to convert higher and detailed descriptions of products or services give your visitors what they need to purchase.
