goal is to create a website that meets the needs and reflects the character of you and your company We know that business websites are visited by business people who require quick access to relevant information: our websites are easy to navigate, efficient and informative.
Your website creates the first impression of your company for many potential clients. The quality of writing on your site suggests the quality of the goods or services you provide. At your request, we will review and edit your copy or we will write the copy for you.
The purpose of your website is to promote your business. Our websites are designed to enhance your message, not dilute it with distracting and unnecessary special effects.
If required, we will register your domain name and arrange the hosting of your site on a Web Presence Provider. The hosting package includes your own e-mail addresses and a statistics program that records the number of visitors to your site, the pages they visit, for how long they stay and more.
Once your site is online we will submit it to Yahoo! and Google. Appropriate title, description and keywords on each page help the search engines determine the page content. Including these on your site is part of our service. The more relevant, high quality pages that link to your site, the better for your page ranking. If desired, we will advise you on setting up a links page and arranging link exchanges in a cost effective manner.
To be of value, your web site must be accurate and up-to-date. We aim to incorporate most updates within 24 hours.
Increase your audience by publishing your site in French, as well as English. We provide high quality English to French translation.
Website of Norene Gilletz, author of cookbooks for Kosher (or not) cooks. Recipes, articles and cookbook reviews. Coffey Creek Farm breeds, trains and sells beautiful Mountain Horses. How many visitors will come to my site? To publicize your business, advertise your services, communicate with your clients, show samples of your work, sell your product . . . A good site can turn contacts into customers by providing convenient, relevant information about yourself, your company and your products 24 hours a day. Put whatever your customers need to know: Who are you? What does your company do? How well does you company do what it does? Can I see some examples of your work? Why should I choose you instead of anyone else? How do I get in touch? We will submit your site to Google and Yahoo! By using effective keywords, descriptions, page titles and page format, we can help search engines find your site efficiently. Your job is to tell everyone you meet about it! Put your web address on your business cards, brochures or advertisements, e-mails and on your voice-mail greeting. Look for similar sites on the World Wide Web and ask for reciprocal links ("If I put a link to your site, will you put a link to mine?") How many visitors will come to my site? This depends on your site content, your target audience and your advertising, but don't expect miracles. It can take several weeks before your site appears on search engines and it does take time for people to start finding your site. The cost of your site is dependent on its size and complexity, what material you provide and how you provide it. If you provide all the copy and graphics in electronic format, in accordance with the simple guidelines that will be provided, the cost of a three-page site will start from about CAD$300. Keyboarding, copy writing, editing and graphics manipulation all add to the cost. You can start with a small site and gradually expand it as requirements suggest and finances allow. The approximate annual costs of domain name registration and hosting is CAD$145.00 (plus GST if you are a resident of Canada). Many internet service providers offer free web hosting. The disadvantages are intrusive advertising and a lengthy web address. Articles that will help you understand the internet and get the most out of your website will be published online approximately monthly. Keep checking back for more.
