Content Management
Maintenance and update of your site content is an important ingredient in properly optimizing your website. Our ethic is to respond quickly to your requests and impliment them with blazing speed to keep your site current. WebDesignbyBob's Website maintenance features fast and reliable updates to your website and changes to the design as instructed as well as regular tests to insure that the site is running as it should.
We submit your site to major search engines regularly and regularly check the site's statistics to better understand who is searching for your site and what keywords and phrases they have used to find you on the web. This will help us recommend how to enhance your site’s copy for Search Engine activity.
What you need to know . . .
"Ranking"
A good "ranking" on Google, MSN, Yahoo, Alta Vista, etc., can make all the difference between
a profitable web site and one that just sits there.
We will optimize your site to achieve top listing in Google searches and constantly encourage updates to your site's content, thereby increasing "organic hits", bringing more visitors to your site.
It is still, however, VERY worth while to market your site in any other advertising you do
including the web address on your business cards!
We will also recommend some very inexpensive methods to help your business grow and prosper.
Costs and benefits - What you need to know about owning your own web presence:
Domain names
Your "Dot com" domain registration is $24 per year. We can bill you $2 per month.
Your domain name “dot com " must be registered through a "Domain Registrar".
We will secure your domain for you or you can secure your domain yourself at any registrar. The domain can be "pointed" to your site at our selected server or you can just have us handle the registration for you at no additional charge.
Likewise, Domains will be Pointed or Transferred at no cost.
We will help you choose a domain name and do a search for one that is available.
You can also choose from: .org, .net, .mobi, .biz, etc.
When we design your web site, we will help you come up with a domain name that fits your business, services, or product offering. We will also advise you on the best domains to select.
On the subject of choosing your "dot com" (your domain name); here is an important hint -
One of the smartest things you can do in choosing your "dot com" (your domain name) is to try and use important keywords that might also be used by a potential customer searching the web. Our best suggestion is to get a domain that includes your city.
This way, when someone is searching, for instance, for a Lawn Service + Tampa,
Jim's Lawn service would benefit less if Jim just used JimsLawn.com rather than, the much better, JimsTampaLawn.com. Even better, might be, JimsTampaLawnService.com Just examples, but you get the idea.
This is no secret, but an under used, very effective SEO dynamic.
Administration and hosting management fee - $50 per month
Space must be rented on a computer that is connected to the Internet at all times -
Our select servers have the capacity and ability to serve your pages to visitors quickly and reliably.
If you currently have a domain name registered and select us to do your design, hosting and search engine submissions, we can handle the transfer of your existing domain to our servers - for no extra charge!
E mail accounts
We include FREE e-mail accounts with each domain name. (yourname@your.com)
You can use the very handy "Zimbra" interface or we can help you configure it with Microsoft outlook. Either way, your email will send and receive from (yourname@your.com)
Search Engine submissions
We submit your site to major search engines at no additional charge to you.
We will make your site as Search Engine friendly as possible using important techniques such as including keyword rich text as well as behind the scene Meta tags, important proper page titles and "alt text" optimization of photos.
(Search Engines can't find photos unless the photo images have alternate text included within the
sites "background")
Monthly updates to your site are FREE*!
We do changes for you once a month (*up to one hour of text and image changes included monthly) One hour per month is usually sufficient for most customers. These changes are included in your $50 monthly fee!
The current rate for additional changes to your website over and above your packaged hour is $25 per hour; however, our hourly rate will go up in 2012. Fees are capped for 5 years on sites begun with us prior to 2012.
Search Engine Optimization
We will design your site to achieve high search engine ranking. This is called SEO or Search Engine Optimization.
We will do an exhaustive keyword search for your site's key word optimization.
Your site gets activity based on properly worded content using well placed keywords and key phrases
that attract the Search engines. Emphasis is also placed on proper page titling and page filenames as
well as meta descriptions and meta tags in your site's "Source Code".
Getting listed and getting your site a higher "ranking" with the search engines is our primary goal.
When your business is good, our business is good!
The major Search Engines, like Google, Yahoo and MSN all scan the web. Their search "robots" scour the web and rank websites according to algorithms designed to pick up a number of aspects of your website. The most important of these are your keywords and key phrases. A well put together website will continuously build ranking as the months and years add up as a result of this "Organic" Search Engine Optimization.
For this reason, it pays to make sure your site is designed correctly. That's what we do! We will help you decide what are your most important keywords and phrases and insert them into your informational text.
Of course, these same keywords are inserted into the meta description and meta tags of your site's source code.
All these efforts as well as additional advertising of your website will keep your ranking on the rise.
_____________________
1 hour of updates are included. Your ongoing costs will likely never exceed your monthly fee of $50 per month!
