*A typical turn-around is 4 weeks, but possibly longer if you need time to gather logos, images, photos, content and domain name information; therefore, this number is flexible. Writing, acquiring and loading content is the most time consuming part of the process, and you are usually the one who is responsible for that activity. None of the plans above include copy writing or content creation. We offer content creation services separately.
With the proliferation of websites out there, your website must stand out from your competitor's. Your website is a direct reflection on the credibility of you and your organization. For this reason, we don't use design templates to build SiteWorks Express sites. Each website is created by professional designers with a unique design that is based on your input and on market and competitive research.
Unlimited - Because SiteWorks express uses a powerful database and software code as its foundation, creating new pages is as easy as clicking a few links and adding your content. No need for authoring HTML, using FTP, or buying confusing and complicated web authoring programs. With SiteWorks Express, pages are "logical" and not actual files on the server, so we don't care how many you create. You can also mark pages as "hidden" so you can create pages and get them just right before making them live to the world.
WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get A WYSIWYG editor allows you to format the web page content so that you can see the text and images laid out the way they'll appear on the website.
SiteWorks Express lets you upload images and files directly into your website library using only your web browser. You don't need to learn FTP, or use any special programs for managing your website files. The library allows you to store files into multiple levels of folders to keep your website files organized and neat. To add one of the library files to your website, just click a button in the tool bar to link images, PDF files, Word documents and more.
Word, Excel, PDF documents and files created by other programs often contain hidden characters that, when pasted into your website content editor, can produce strange characters and unpredictable results on your web page. SiteWorks Express has a cleaning tool that scrubs these hidden characters out of the content after you've pasted content from an external program. It reduces the time and aggravation of having to clean the junk out manually.
Navigation elements are often part of the website design. With SiteWorks Express we can create a design with multiple navigation "regions" that allow you to add, modify or delete navigation links without breaking the overall website design.
A site map is useful for content heavy websites since they allow the visitor to go straight to any page in the website with minimal clicking. But just as important, the site map is used by search engine crawlers to find all the pages in the website quickly and easily. SiteWorks Express has a site map that automatically updates when pages are added or deleted or are marked as "inactive". So you never have to worry about keeping your site map up to date when working on your website.
You may not have a logo for your business - you're starting a new business, or you don't like your existing logo. Our talented designers can create a new logo for you at a price significantly lower than most design agencies. We'll provide 6 logo ideas by three different designers, then tweak the design until it is just right for your business. Note - the logo design can take several days, and in most cases we can't start the website design until the logo is approved, so please allow a few extra days to launch the website if you need a new logo.
A website blueprint is a document that shows the relationship of the web pages to each other. It is important because it defines how the site will navigate and how the visitor will access the site content. A website blueprint is sometimes called a site map. Base SiteWorks Express pricing lets you define the site map. However, for clients who need professional direction on the site map, we offer a low cost option for one of our website experts to assist you in developing the site map.
Base SiteWorks Express pricing includes one website design with no revisions. Sometimes the designer nails the design the first time and you love it, but sometimes it needs a little more work to get it exactly the way you want. Rather than inflate our base pricing to include the time and effort needed for revisions, we only charge if revisions are needed. Our designers REALLY want to nail the design, so they will be working hard to get there the first time.
SiteWorks Express comes with a single design based on a detailed questionnaire and your input. Occasionally the decision is made to abandon the original design and start from scratch, or a subsequent design is desired to provide a different perspective. We can provide additional designs done by a new designer.
MerchantWorks is an ecommerce website foundation that allows us to quickly deploy highly functional and customizable transaction based websites. MerchantWorks will alow an unlimited number of products arranged into categories and subcategories that feed into a shopping cart. Integration with PayPal and PayFlow payment services for real time credit card processing and UPS, Fedex and USPS for real-time shipping calculations. Because we built MerchantWorks we can easily add custom functionality based on your business needs.
Using your website to collect contact information from your website visitors is a key function for many websites. We have partnered with MailChimp (www.mailchimp.com) to create an HTML email template to match your website, collect email addresses through your website, then show you how to send email to your lists. This is a powerful marketing tool that works great in conjunction with the landing pages you can create with SiteWorks Express. Pricing includes the design of a single HTML email template that complements the website design.
For monthly fees, see www.mailchimp.com/pricing
Flash is a multimedia technology that allows animation and screen effects not achievable with standard web technologies. We have developed a Flash slide show that allows the website administrator to add high quality images into a "slide" show that can enhance the presentation of almost any website. Each image in the slide show can be reordered, can have a text overlay, and can link to any page in the SiteWorks Express website, or to any other website.
The ability to search a website by keyword is a critical feature of some content heavy websites. We have developed an affordable, powerful website search engine that indexes all the website content and makes it searchable.
Analyzing what words visitors are using to search for content on your website can provide powerful feedback to evaluate the usability of your site. This feedback can help you re-organize your content and make changes to the site to serve the content your visitors are looking for. Our keyword reporting system stores keyword searches and displays the results in tabular and graphical format. This option requires the Website Search Engine.
Our event calendar allows you to enter unlimited events in unlimited categories that are displayed in a list OR grid view by month. Your website visitors can jump to the month they are interested in and see the events for that month. Events are added through the CMS system and allow you to add images and documents to the event detail page. All calendars are accessible via ical format for subscribing with Outlook, iCal, Google and many more calendars. Individual events can be added to any calendar via the ics format.
The SiteWorks Express system has a powerful content management system that allows you to add or modify your website content. However, content load can take time - time that you may not have. For those of you who prefer not to add your website content, our professional webmasters can quickly add your content.
Email borne threats have become a serious problem for all internet users. Fortunately, there are solutions to protect against email borne threats of spam, viruses, and inappropriate content. We offer very powerful email filtering services that protect you and your organization from the threats that email presents.
Friendly URLs (also known as landing pages) are web addresses that are easier to communicate and remember than traditional web addresses full of backslashes, question marks, ampersands and so on. With SiteWorks Express you can create a friendly URL for any page in your website such as www.yourcompany.com/promote The URL can be customized to make it relevant to a particular marketing campaign or promotion.
Analyzing the activity on your website is critical. You need to see how much traffic you're getting, where it's coming from, and what visitors are doing on your website. SiteWorks Express base pricing includes Google Analytics for 24/7 access to website activity reports. With Google Analytics, you'll see how many visitors you had at your site, what pages they're accessing, where they're coming from and more.
The SiteWorks Express system has a powerful content management system that allows you to add or modify your website content. The content management system is fairly intuitive, but we can provide professional training for those of you who wish to get started faster and without the time needed to learn the system on your own.
The SiteWorks Article Publishing engine allows you to create a database of articles by multiple categories. Articles can be embedded into any SiteWorks page. The article engine automatically creates an RSS feed for your articles.
The SiteWorks basic ecommerce plug-in allows you to create secure payment forms that are perfect for simple ecommerce applications such as donation forms, limited product sales etc. Works with Authorize.Net or PayFlow Link.
