In order to create a versatile layout with the initial design, it is important for the website owner to thoroughly compile and plan website content page by page before the actual design process begins. Some common website elements include text (biography, company profile, mission statement, testimonials, FAQs), photos, graphics, audio or video files, PDF documents, resource links, email links, and submission forms. Pearse Street Consulting will be there to help you brainstorm through this process and turn your ideas into feasible website elements. - HOW CAN I MAINTAIN MY WEBSITE AFTER IT’S DESIGNED?
Your website will be able to reflect your business as it changes and grows. Sites coded in HTML can be updated without much effort by someone with a basic knowledge of Web programming. However, to save time, most people prefer to pay for their website maintenance. Once the final design is complete to your satisfaction, any updates, additions or redesigns will be billed at an hourly rate of $50/hour. You may also opt for a content-management system to be integrated into your website design. This allows you to easily update your text and photos without through a browser, without any HTML or FTP knowledge. Your domain registration and hosting plan will be maintained as long as annual renewals are current.
- HOW CAN I MARKET MY WEBSITE?
Websites succeed as marketing tools because they are accessible to your audience 24/7, when you or your staff may not be. Once your site goes live, there are several key places where I will submit your website address (Google, Yahoo, HotBot, etc.) in order for the site to achieve hits on popular seach engines.Depending on your target audience, you will want to research those specific directories and web portals where your site can be listed for higher visibility. You may also consider soliciting other site owners to participate in a link exchange.Word of mouth also goes a long way. Be sure to include your web address on your promotional materials (business cards, letterhead, brochures, etc.) and also in your email signature.While these methods help bring traffic to your website, they are no guarantee that your site will receive a desired number of visitors. There are several options for search engine optimization and pay-per-click internet advertising that MA Website Design can recommend to help you achieve quality traffic. - WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE MA WEBSITE DESIGN?
