This is the first step in developing an Internet presence. Design services includes development of a precise definition of your requirements to insure that your web site fits into existing business processes and compliments your overall business strategy. It also includes programming of web pages to display your content, including text, photos, logos and other artwork, animations, sounds, forms for customer input and links to your E-mail or to other sites. Our individual approach to design and development guarantees that we will have an in-depth understanding of your web site needs, and you will understand exactly what you are getting into, before you are committed to any expense. We prefer long term relationships with our clients and will make every effort to insure that you are comfortable at each step.
Once a web page is designed and written, it must be posted to the Internet in order for people to see it. This means arranging for a hosting service and transferring your programs to the hosting service computer. For virtual domains you may also need to register the site and obtain a domain name. If you choose the Fast Start package all of these services are included for the first three months.
Just because you have a page and it is posted on the Internet does not mean that anyone knows where it is or how to find it. With over a billion sites on the web, the odds that people are just going to stumble on your site are pretty slim. A variety of services are available to advertise your site on Internet indexes and directory services such as Yahoo!.
On large sites, or sites where content changes often, ongoing maintenance is a necessity. Even on smaller sites, some maintenance is required to keep things current. Changes in prices for your products and services, additions to your product line and verification that any links to other sites are still functional are some of the tasks that need to be performed from time to time. You might also want to add seasonal graphics to keep your site current. If your site is hosted by Nootech, maintenance is included. For other sites see the fees on our prices page.
Medium sized firms, or companies that already have some IT resources, may want to extend in-house capability to develop and maintain their web site. Even very small businesses can significantly reduce costs by developing skills among existing staff. We can provide one-to-one instruction and assistance with various developemnt tools as well as phone support to assist your staff in developing the necessary skills.
