GRANTS DESIGN GROUP

Professional Web Site Development

New Site Development
:: Combining affordable custom graphics and layout to create unique and efficient web sites, Grants Design Group will produce your one-of-a-kind web site without using pre-fab, mass-produced templates. Services include domain name acquisition, web hosting solutions, routine site maintenance, web site design, redesign and upgrade, and submission to search engines.

Custom Web Graphics
:: All marketing materials you produce for your business should sell for you. Unique custom graphic design is one key to make your site stand out from mass-produced web sites created from templates. Your letterhead and business card package is the most critical of marketing materials. Along with an effective logo, this 'branding' gives identity, credibility and respectability to your business. Custom colors and graphics that match your printed business material carry that identity to the Web. You'll never find that in pre-made, stock web images.

Domain Names
:: The first step in creating a web presence is selecting a domain name. This is your address on the WWW. Grants Design Group will assist you in acquiring your own unique domain name. Unlike some third party vendors, there are no strings attached. All names will be in YOUR name for direct access and disposition. Domain names reflect your business, organization, family name, personal interest, hobby or avocation. Let us advise you about multiple domain names that forward to a single active site allowing you to hold domain names that are alternate names, names you wish to own to protect your name from competitors, alternate spelling or descriptions of your business such as www.westsuburbanwoodcarvers.com. Advice offered on web address extensions: .com, .net, .org, .info, .name, .ws, .biz and .us. Free transfers, forwarding and parking included in your registration. Be specific about your domain names since registration and application fees are not refundable.

Submission to Major Search Engines
:: Included in initial web design and creation is submission to all major Search Engines and Directories. Options include subscription to Search Engines and Web Directories that put you at the top of search results in "Preferred" or "Sponsored" lists. This is a deductible expense toward your business advertising.

Redesign or Upgrade your existing Web Site
:: Occasionally you may find that one or two new pages are needed for accuracy and efficiency on your site. Whether adding a page based on existing pages of your site or adding a questionnaire for feedback or a newsletter to share your latest innovations, new pages can be added quickly.

Complete Redesign or Upgrade your existing Web Site
:: Complete redesign costs are based on the size of the site and the projected needs of the client. Please contact Grants Design Group for free consultation of your specific web redesign needs.

When assessing a web site for redesign, consider the following:

• Is the site difficult to navigate so that user's can find what they are looking for?
• Is the site too difficult to update and is falling behind in content and services?
• Does it look out of date? Does it still communicate your services and products to your target?
• Are there web services, such as selling your products online, that could expand your business?
• Has your business expanded or changed its offering with new products and services?
• Is it time to upgrade from static HTML pages to XHTML and database content site?
• Do you want a new way for clients to contact you without using email?

Routine Maintenance
:: We specialize in efficient, easy to maintain web sites. Your site is designed with your needs in mind. Select a package that gives routine maintenance by our staff or one time site development that you can update "in-house". Tricky or secret programming never is incorporated into the site to make you dependent on an outside source. Special effects, animations, data bases, scripts, asp, php, css, movies, form handlers, merchant accounts and e-commerce requirements are thoroughly explained so that you can make informed decisions about maintenance.

Web Hosting Solutions
:: Web hosting services are available for as little as $6.95 a month. Prices vary depending on site file space, number of email accounts, streaming media, secure pages, private customer log-in and e-commerce needs. Hosting includes free personal email accounts such as yourname@domainname.com.
