Design Options

Knowing the requirements of your web site, it is time to look at the options available for putting all the information together. The following items with brief descriptions show some of the options available.

Forms

Input forms gather information from your users and email the information to you. This information can be compiled into a database to be used for email updates, product announcements and special offers.

Guestbook

Guestbooks are usually found in a more informal web site setting. A guestbook on a web page can keep track of your visitors and offer them the opportunity to submit comments about the web site and the material offered there.

Database

Databases allow users to search for information such as a list of products, dealers, etc. We can set up a database where you can input the items with ease and update it yourself as it changes.

E-Commerce

E-commerce can benefit your business. You can display items on your site and allow customers to purchase them easily.

We have written software that permits a customer to add and delete items to a shopping cart, view the contents of the cart, and check out, all in a few easy steps. The software has options for calculating tax and can include shipping charges. In addition, you will be able to maintain the database yourself.

If you wish to have purchases made by your customers directly through the internet, we can host your order pages on a secure site.

Updates

Adding new content to your web site can keep it fresh and encourage customers to return often. We can help set you up with software that will let you input data to keep your information up to date.

Counters

We can put a counter on your pages that not only counts visitors, but provides detail regarding those visitors. This is not information that would be considered an invasion of privacy, but information relating to browser, operating system, etc., so that we can ensure that the site accommodates all your clients. Counters can also be made invisible.

Site Re-Design

If your site is not performing as you intended, maybe you are due for a redesign accompanied by an expansion of services. Offer new material, sales, and promotions to your customers, so that they will be tempted to visit more often.

We can quote a price for re-designing your web site and will give you a written evaluation with suggestions on how to organize the information and streamline the download time. To request a quotation for a site re-design, please email us.

Site Maintenance

Maintenance is an important part of the total plan for your web site. Your site should reflect the changes in your business. Even the smallest site needs a little maintenance once in a while. For minor changes, such as an area code or other small change to a template, the work will generally be without charge.

Some sites, though, require more extensive updating. Depending on the type of information on your site, we can set up methods that allow you to update your site on your own.

If a site requires more attention and frequent and/or major updates you can hire us to keep it up to date.
