Design and construction (we will handle this for you)
Domain Name registration (If you don't have a domain we will
help you choose a great one and register it)
Hosting (we offer several options based on your needs)
Promotion (This can be your job or ours we offer full service
web promotion options)
We can work through the entire process with you. We see web
development as a team effort between the client and the
company. Generally the client will work with one of our
consultants during the planning stage and the client will be
responsible for writing the text for their web site. Just
about everything else is handled by ProvideTechnology's development
and marketing team.
How much is this going to
cost me? − Unlike most companies our pricing is
very strait forward for the vast majority of clients and is broken
down into four categories. Some extreme custom work may
require custom pricing but 95% of our clients pick one of the four
options below.
Category One - Basic
Package - We develop your sites core for you (4-5 pages) and
then upload your site to an online editor. You take it from
there with our support. We will provide you an hour of
training from our technical staff on using your online editor and of
course we are available for support any time; however, with this
option you will need to do some work on your site if you want more
then the basic 4-5 page website. Cost of this option is $495
for the design with a $20 monthly hosting fee for your online editor
and web hosting.
Category Two - Enhance
Package - This option is for full development of your site from
5 - 25 pages and it is the option many mid size business clients
choose. You choose your design layout and provide us the
text. We then build your site to completion. This option
includes photos and some custom work such as access to 80,000 photos
on photos.com through our account, free one time submission to the
major search engines and more. Cost of this option is $995 for
the design with a $20 monthly hosting fee for your online editor and
web hosting.
Category Three - Enhanced
Design and Marketing Package - This option includes the
complete development in Category 2 along with full online
marketing of your web site. Some of the marketing we provide
you includes
Monthly Submission to all Major Search Engines
One press release submitted to 60,000 plus on and offline
media contacts with direct inclusion of your press release with
Google and Inktomi (Inktomi feeds major engines such as MSN
Search, Hotbot and more).
Guaranteed 48 hour inclusion of your new Website in the
Inktomi Data Base which will get you into AOL, MSN, Hotbot,
Overture, iWon and all Inktomi Partners
within two days of submission.
Custom Meta Tagging on all your web pages (Not just your
home page)
We review your text and make minor changes to optimize search
engine response
And much more
Total cost for this option is $175 a month and that DOES
include your site design work there are no additional charges.
This cost will be effective for the first 12 months and will then drop
to only 75 dollars a month for on going marketing, site submission
and support. Again there are no additional charges for this
package everything including hosting is included. When you
consider that many people will charge you 500 dollars or more for a
press release alone that will not be directly spooled into
Google and Inktomi and that a 995 dollar design is included as
well it becomes clear that this package is our best value.
Category Four - Ecommerce
Catalog Based Sites - This option is for clients that want to
sell many products online via ecommerce. This is really a site
that amounts an online catalog of products that are provided from a
data base maintained by the client. This type of site requires
a lot of additional consultation during the planning stage.
Ecommerce sites run about $1495 for the vast majority of clients and
hosting is generally about 50 dollars a month. We can combine
this option with the marketing in option three on an as needed
basis.
How many pages do I need?
− This really comes down to the message or information you
want to convey effectively. The answer to this question lies with
the nature of your site. It could range from 1 to more than 100
pages although each and every page must have a clear purpose. A
typical product or service selling site should generally consist (as
a minimum) of the following pages:
Home Page
Profile or About Us (who you are, what you do, etc.)
Main marketing page (what makes you different, what you offer,
etc)
What if I just want one
page? − Absolutely no problem. In fact, we
strongly suggest to get at least one page online to achieve a web
presence. While you'll likely need more pages in order for your site
to become effective, we will help you develop a plan to accommodate
this. Start small but do start now! The cost of this option is
about 100 dollars a year.
1. They fail to attract traffic
2. When they are visited by prospect they do not present a
professional image or do not "flow well" and take to long
for prospects or customers to find the information they are looking
for.
These two factors alone cost many companies thousands of dollars
in lost revenue. Our approach helps you to prevent that
revenue loss. Additionally we provide a great deal of value in
the planning stage that goes far beyond typical site building.
For more information on this subject please read our philosophy on building
a Total Internet Portfolio.
Further online site builders do offer some great
advantages. Chief among them are the ability to keep your site
fresh and current and to do simple updates on your own. The
key is to insure that the site is built properly in the
beginning. We offer you the best of both worlds. We will
build you a custom site with professional design and
"flow" and they will upload your custom site into an
online site editor for you. Then we provide you training on
how to use it and provide you support for it as well.
This approach will guarantee you a professional site, one that is
optimized for search engines, access to our marketing program and
still lets you keep costs down and keep your site current. Our
approach is designed to help you make money and that is the best
reason there is to do business with us.
1. Insure that your pages are search
engine friendly with effective meta tags and the use of a site map.
2. Insure your site presents a very
professional image and that it flows well for visitors.
3. NEVER, EVER let your site
stagnate. Keep it fresh. Have a company news section and
update offerings and specials etc. Keep contact information
current and basically add some additional material to your site
every month.
ProvideTechnology sees this as a team
effort. We will take care of steps 1 and 2 as we plan and
develop your site with you. You will take care of step 3 with
our support and training. Step three not being done is what
kills many really good sites. We show you how to do this at no
additional cost and just a little time. Consider us your
designer, marketing firm and consultant all in one.
How long will it take to
have a page or site completed? − For the vast
majority of clients we deliver work in less then one week. In
some cases it will take a bit longer for custom requirements but
most will be delivered in far less then a week. Once you
approve your final site we launch the marketing at once if your
package includes marketing. Total time of your project is
based mostly on how long it takes you to prepare your text and
select your site lay out and basic design structure.
I already have a
page/site, can you help me improve it? − We
sure can. We will assess your site for free and advise you as
to what's most needed improve your site. This is often
referred to as a web site tune up. Most often we end up moving
the majority of content into one of our custom designed sites.
During that process we help you update content, add content, meta
tag all pages and then empower you to have control over your site.
I'm not located near you,
is this going to be a problem? − Not at
all! We work extensively with clients in our local market but
we also have clients all over the US. We give a client in
Texas or California the same attention and dedication that we
deliver to the Philadelphia and Allentown Pennsylvania market we
call home.
Will it cost me anything
to get an estimate from you? − We don't charge
for an estimate and feel you are a valued potential client and
entitled to a free estimate as such. Just contact us
anytime our consultations are always free of any charge.
How do I know you can
accommodate all my needs? − We maintain a core
design team and have relationships with other designers as
well. We can assist clients with 98% or more of all web
development projects. In the unlikely event that you have a
specific requirement beyond the scope of our ability we will gladly
refer you to a specialized designer who can meet your needs.
We pledge to always put our clients first even if that means
referring business out on an occasion or two.
Alright, I've got a
vague idea of what I want, what now? − Just
send us an email or give us a call and we can help you decide what
will work best for you based on your individual needs. You can
reach us anytime at 866-994-1212 or just email
your questions to us. Either way we are happy to help.
