You want to reach your customers, you need the small details handled, and you're looking for an honest and knowledgable opinion about your options...

Website Design

The process of creating a website is so much more than design. I work with you to set up your hosting and domain accounts, and I make sure the ball is rolling when it comings to search engine optimization. It’s better (and more fun) to build a good site from scratch and watch it steadily climb in the Google rankings, than to have to address the issues later in the game.

The cost for a website is determined by the size of your site (# of pages) and the degree of complexity involved. Will your site have audio/video? Paypal integration? Google Maps? Photo galleries? Are you overwhelmed? I can help you with the process of organizing your thoughts.

The average viewing time of a website page is no more than 8 seconds. How will you grab the attention of your visitors? By utilizing clean design that is intuitive and eye-catching.


Graphic Design

I design traditional media marketing materials: brochures, advertisements, flyers, banners, gift certificates.


Email Campaigns

Email is more than clicking a send button. Reputable businesses like yours need systems to manage contact lists automatically, that will guarantee the highest level of ‘deliverability’. You can encourage loyalty and relationships by staying in touch. For those who approach email marketing in the correct way, it can be a powerful and cost-effective marketing tool.


Social Media Marketing

Wikipedia defines Social media marketing as an “engagement with online communities to generate exposure, opportunity and sales. The number-one advantage is generating exposure for the business, followed by increasing traffic and building new business partnerships.

Common social media marketing tools include Twitter, Blogs, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube.”

I can set up your blog, Facebook Fan Page, or YouTube Channel. I can help you produce the videos to be uploaded. New media marketing can positively impact your business in a very cost-effective way.

A quote from www.website.grader.com: "Making sure that your company has an extensive web presence outside of your own website is important. It increases the chances that your prospects will find your company when they are online since there are more web pages that contain information about your company."


Blogs

BLOGS: If you're not sure about blogs (many aren't), here is what www.website.grader.com has to say about blogs. I thought it was quite apt:

"Blogging makes sense from a marketing perspective. You'll be leveraging the shift from outbound to inbound marketing and interacting with your customers in new ways. A blog lets you meet your customers more directly than sending out brochures or an email campaign. It changes your website from a brochure that most people look at once to something that people interact with and come back to. "

I can set you up with a Wordpress blog, utilizing your choice of highly customizable premium themes and plugins. If you’re on a super budget, we can even talk about Wordpress.com, a free online hosting option.


Website Maintenance

Websites are like houseplants: they need to be cared for regularly. Search engines penalize websites that are stagnant. Let's discuss your needs with your current website: perhaps the solution is to set up an easy content management system, so that you can make future text updates yourself! A per-hour fee applies.




"Megan, THANK YOU SO MUCH...it's been such a VERY LONG TIME
