Our Services

Most business people in this day in age know what the internet is and how to surf around and find information about things they are interested in and find business related information, but most of them don't know how easy and affordable it is for them to get their business on the information superhighway. The internet is such a good marketing tool that some businesses don't even have a physical storefront - everything is done online. Many of the small and medium sized businesses are expanding onto the internet if for no other reason than to have an online "brochure" website that will allow prospective clients to get information about them instantly at any time of day - even on the weekend. The possibilities are endless. Give us a call or drop us an email by following the "contact us" link to the left so we can explain how a website or an online storefront can benefit your particular business.

Everyone in the business world wants to know the bottom line. With websites, determining the bottom line is unique to each site. The following are a few guidelines that can help you determine what your site will require.
  • Do you already own a logo?
  • Do you want to change this logo?
  • What, if any, colors are associated with your business?
  • Do you own any graphics including pictures that you would like to include on your site?
  • Will pictures of the business need to be taken?
  • Do you already have an email address for your business?
  • What links do you think are essential to the site?

For example most websites have the following links: Home Page, Directions Page, Contact/Email Form Page.

  • How soon do you anticipate the site’s completion?
  • What keywords do you think will help users locate your website?

When your site is submitted to search engines, for example AltaVista, Google, Yahoo and HotBot, keywords are needed in order for users to find your site. 25 words are allowed.

For example: Baton Rouge, New Orleans, toys, collectables, baton rouge, Louisiana.

Initial Fee:

The Initial Fee covers the cost of designing and setting up the website. It is a one time fee. The Initial Fee varies from site to site depending on the size of the site, the amount of graphics necessary, whether a logo exists, and the amount of user interaction needed.
