So many businesses are pressured to "get on the 'net," but they haven't clearly defined their goals. Taking time to research everything a website can do usually falls behind "real time" customer service, payroll or just keeping the bills paid. No problem - we're here to help by gathering information about your business and defining the goals that your site should portray to the intended audience. What can your site do? Any number of things, be it expanding your customer base, keep existing customers coming back, publishing a monthly newsletter or an e-commerce solution. We'll discuss your needs in detail, answering questions and explaining internet technology in terms you understand. FINDING A HOME: Hosting and Domain Names Somewhere in cyberspace, every website is stored away on a computer waiting for your customers to visit. Instead of buying the hardware, software and high-speed internet connections, it is far more affordable for smaller businesses to pay someone "rent" and host the site with a company specializing in web server services.Evocity has developed a relationship with Datapipe, a reliable, affordable hosting company. We offer assistance in acquiring and managing your website domain name (those www.somethings) at a affordable price. DESIGNING THE SITE: Getting it right EVOCITY staff members are downright web junkies. We've seen what works and what doesn't through extensive research. The best sites are professionally designed, concise and without the frills that take forever to download. A website is important to the way the public
perceives your business. A cumbersome, boring website is not conducive
to return visits. A site that is constantly updated brings customers
back again and again. We design simple and attractive, eye-pleasing
websites and constantly research new ways to make our sites better. GETTING THE WORD OUT: Search Engines & Marketing Places like Yahoo and Google help web surfers find sites of interest. Evocity knows how to get your site listed on these search engines by posting your information and by embedding special "meta tags" within the web pages. These tags are keywords that are read by the various search engines to determine ranking and match possibilities. Once your site is ready, tell everyone! Add the website address to your business cards, stationery and invoices. Actively inform your current customers that they can now reach you via e-mail. It's up to you to deliver prompt responses and the quality of service demanded by your new, informed customers. KEEPING IT FRESH: Research & Renew Just like the need to remodel an office or store, a website requires updating to keep up with changing customer demands. EVOCITY is here to provide periodical or scheduled updates to newsletters, pricing information and specials. Give customers a reason to bookmark your site as a favorite place and they'll come back often.As each site visit occurs, details of that visit are stored and later harvested by statistical analysis software. We'll know where your visitors come from, what they visit and which parts of your website are attractive. This information is crucial when deciding where to invest additional time and effort.
