As a minimum, a brochure site should include the above hosting services. Each page should have a consistent look and navigation plan. The following web pages are considered a minimum brochure site:
Home This is your chance to introduce your business to your potential customer and existing customers. Make the information on this page concise and informative. Make sure you link to your other pages in the text.
Company. Your clients and potential clients need to feel comfortable about your business. This is the page where you tell them about your businesses history and unique abilities.
Location. Give people a map and a photo of the outside of your building as it appears from the road. Make it easy to find you. Please, you can reduce the costs of people telling clients how to find you. Just give them a web site address and suggest
they print it out so they can use it to find you.
Products and Service. What do you sell and how do you support it? Let people know. For example, if your business is a restaurant give your menu and hours (I cannot tell you how many restaurants lose business because they don't do this). If your have
sign company, tell what kinds of signs you provide and give examples, with photos. The Internet is a rich medium and your can tell a lot more for less money than other media. Here is where you tell people what you do and give examples.
E-commerce. If you need to take credit cards for items that typically involve a single sale at a time, we have a five level secure order system that is perfect for you.
Domain Parking. Do you advertise in various media (TV, newspapers, or magazines), then you should park domains. Parked domains allow people to enter different domains to see the exact same site. There are many reasons to do this. One is advertising.
If you advertise in a particular publication, you should always publish a domain too (you won't think of advertising without a phone number, so why would you ignore your web address). Use of multiple parked domains allows you to check your logs to see how
well the advertisement is paying off for you. Since the typical newspaper ad costs more than $100 per showing, magazines $6,000 per showing, and TV or radio from $500, looking at your logs will help you determine if the advertisements are paying off.
File Storage. Some people send huge files by e-mail. This can be a real problem. Since many people do not have high speed access, receiving a large file can create a real problem for the receiver. Sending it is no picnic either. By uploading the
file to a specified location, you can then help your clients. First, your upload is controlled by you. Second, you allow your clients to control the download. You just send them the link and they can download it at their leisure.
Calendars. Many people and businesses need a calendar that they can use to inform others of schedules and generate added business. There are many options available here. We even have a physician schedule system for multiple offices. Contact
us for details.
