General Website Consulting
We offer Internet marketing and consulting services designed to help you get started painlessly, inexpensively but with an immediate impact.
- We will prepare Internet resource lists catering to your specific functional requirements.
- We will analyze your need for a web presence and get you started with a great site on the Web; we can, of course, design, prepare and host your pages. Our webfolio displays the work we've done.
- We can perform Quality Assurance on sites that you might be having trouble with.
The first goal of a web site often is to disseminate information about you, your products, your services. To do so successfully, though, there must be an added element; you must entertain or educate; you must somehow grab the viewers interest and compel him to return.
Our design philosophy is to provide this added value so that viewers will want to use your site as a reference, will 'bookmark it', will refer others to it and come back often. This is seen in what we've done with the Amber Lady, for example.
Website Marketing
- We will market your pages; we will publicize them so that the right people know about their existance.
- We will submit your site web-wide so that the various search engines, indexing sites and Internet Malls can find you. We have prepared a List of Registration Sites for your perusal and use.
- We can fine tune your pages for top Search Engine performance. We can prepare doorway pages for your specific keywords to score high in each search engine. We can deliver a 1 or 2 day course on Search Engine Placement on your site or ours.
- We will tastefully inform relevant Usenet Newsgroups and Email Lists of your pages and their value.
- We will find other related sites and attempt to have them cross reference your site.
- We will produce Internet Press Releases and disseminate them appropriately.
- We will analyze your needs and advise on optimum Internet services and configurations.
Website Quality Assurance
Our thoughts on QA echo a recent ComputerWorld article that we suggest you read before embarking on your project. Philosophe's discussion of QA and QC is also required reading. We can provide resonable quality assurance services either in parallel with your web development efforts or at specific phases in your website creation project. Optionally we can precede a website facelift project with QA on the existing site.
Our QA includes, but is not limited to, aesthetic issues, ease and clarity of navigation, html validity, browser compatibility, link checking, image optimization, spelling, and your particular concerns.
You may be unsure of what the Internet means to you individually or to your business. Contact us with your questions; our response is fast and you will not be able to find comparable quality and service at a lower cost!
