| Why
do I need a web site? |
| Gain
national, even global, exposure |

your customers' awareness of your capabilities |

your company's image |

your customers informed of new products and services
or special events |

advertising costs |

the ability to take orders or reservations on-line |

instant feedback |

able to provide technical support via e-mail |

accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year |
|
| How
do I draw an audience? |
| You
don't want a one-time visitor to your site; you want repeat business.
You want to get them there, pique their interest, and have them
come back again. But, you need to give them a reason to
do so. You will need to provide your visitors with useful, up-to-date
information about your company, your services, your product, new offerings,
etc. |
| What's
the key to a successful site? |
| The
key to a successful web site is: does
it work?
A well designed web site can open a whole new marketing opportunity
for your business. Users want to be able to navigate through your
site quickly and easily, while you present to them the appropriate
information and image. A
poorly designed, cumbersome site can be a cyber-disaster. Your
website will be designed in keeping with your business's style and
reputation. |

Web
Site Specifications & Notifications
|
| Your
initial web site design will include 3 to 5 pages and up to 5 photos/images
(unless otherwise discussed).
You will receive (1) e-mail address, i.e., “yourchoice@yourdomainname.com”.
E-mail forwarding is also available.
Your initial web site set-up will include the registration
of your domain name with InterNIC (the government agency that controls
all domain name registration), the server set-up for
your domain name, and registration with the major search engines.
Based on the above, the cost for your website will be approximately
$850. Server space
(also known as hosting fees) for one (1) year will be billed monthly
at $30 each month. All web sites are custom designed
and, therefore, may incur a higher - or sometimes lower - cost depending
on your actual needs. |
| Additional
Web Site Costs |

pages will be charged at $50 to $150 per page depending
on their complexity. |

20 lines or the average size of a browser window. |

at $25 per hour. Special
rates can be arranged for sites that will require weekly

autoresponders are available and will be charged at $25
per hour. An
e-mail autoresponder is used to send an automatic e-mail
