Website Update and Upgrade Packages

Hire a web designer

Updates can include product/inventory changes, addition of new pages, addition of new content such as graphics, photos, multimedia, or tweaking of existing features.

Monthly pre-paid updates

If you update your site often, you can save money by ordering a monthly update plan which includes a set number of hours each month.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Many people want to update their site to achieve a higher ranking on search engines. (Google, Yahoo, etc.) This type of update is called search engine optimization and requires a slightly different approach to web design. To optimize your website, you must use as much text as possible for the search engine to pick up on. This text must have a high keyword density based on the keywords related to your business. Optimization will reduce the size of your images and add descriptive ALT tags. Proper title and meta tags will also be implemented. Any frames on the site must be eliminated.

To optimize a small site (less than 8 pages) would normally cost between $600 and $1800.

Website expansion and overhaul

A website upgrade may accomplish the following goals:
• Its time to advance your website
• Start selling products online
• Start making money off of your website

If you have an existing website with alot of relevent content (text & photos), it is common to simply redesign a new site template to allow for more expansion of new pages or features.

Your in need of an update if your site is:
• outdated, unattractive, or contains slow loading design and layout
• gets a bad ranking on search engines
• difficult to navigate or contains hard to see menus
• requires new website features

Shopping carts, online payments, mechant tools

Some companies already have a small info based site, and want to start selling products and accepting online payments via credit card. Many times it is nice to update the look of the site as well when incorporating an important new feature such as a shopping cart. A good place to start when looking to accept online payments is through PAYPAL, which does not require a merchant account or SSL setup.

Incorporating online payments into an existing site

Depending on how your current site is set up, it may be possible to incorporate a shopping cart into your products section. If there is currently no online product catalogue, one can be set up.

Content management (as an upgrade)

Content management allows you (or an employee) to access and add, update or delete certain parts of the website such as a newsletter or report system. Features can often be added by simply adding a new page, but some must be integrated into a site completely, such as a shopping cart.
