Content Management

Maintenance and update of your site content is an important ingredient in properly optimizing your website. Our ethic is to respond quickly to your requests and impliment them with blazing speed to keep your site current. WebDesignbyBob's Website maintenance features fast and reliable updates to your website and changes to the design as instructed as well as regular tests to insure that the site is running as it should.

We submit your site to major search engines regularly and regularly check the site's statistics to better understand who is searching for your site and what keywords and phrases they have used to find you on the web. This will help us recommend how to enhance your site’s copy for Search Engine activity.

"Ranking"

A good "ranking" on Google, MSN, Yahoo, Alta Vista, etc., can make all the difference between

a profitable web site and one that just sits there.

We will optimize your site for superior "organic" hits, as they are referred to in the business.

Simply put, your site gets activity based on properly worded, otherwise well optimized aspect of the site without any outside marketing.

It is still, however, VERY worth while to market your site in any other advertising you do

including the web address on your business cards!

We will also recommend some very inexpensive methods to help your business grow and prosper.

Costs and benefits - What you need to know about owning your own web presence:

Domain names

Your "Dot com" domain registration is $24 per year. We can bill you $2 per month.

Your domain name “dot com " must be registered through a "Registrar". We will secure your domain for you or

you can secure your domain yourself at any registrar. The domain can be "pointed" to your site at our selected server or you can just have us handle the registration for you at no additional charge.

We will help you choose a domain name and do a search for one that is available.

You can also choose from: .org, .net, .mobi, .biz, etc.

When we design your web site, we will help you come up with a domain name that fits your business, services, or product offering. We will also advise you on the best domains to select.

On the subject of choosing your "dot com" (your domain name); here is a free hint -

One of the smartest things you can do in choosing your "dot com" (your domain name) is to try and use important keywords that might also be used by a potential customer searching the web. Our best suggestion is to get a domain that includes your city.

This way, when someone is searching, for instance, for a lawn service + Tampa,

Jim's Lawn service is going to get many extra hits to his website if it is named JimsTampaLawn.com than if Jim just chose JimsLawn.com. Just an example, but you get the idea.

So now we are giving away secrets? Hardly! This is no secret, but an underused and underrated, very effective technique

Administration and hosting management fee - $50 per month

See our Fees page

Space must be rented on a computer that is connected to the Internet at all times -

Our select servers have the capacity and ability to serve your pages to visitors quickly and reliably.

If you currently have a domain name registered and select us to do your design, hosting and search engine submissions, we can handle the transfer of your existing domain to our servers

- for no extra charge!

E mail accounts

We include FREE e-mail accounts with each domain name. (yourname@your.com)

You can use the very handy "Zimbra" interface or we can help you configure it with Microsoft outlook. Either way, your email will send and receive from (yourname@your.com)

Search Engine submissions

We submit your site to major search engines at no additional charge to you.

We will make your site as Search Engine friendly as possible using important techniques such as including keyword rich text as well as behind the scene Meta tags, important proper page titles and "alt text" optimization of photos.

(Search Engines can't find photos unless the photo images have alternate text included within the

sites "background")

Monthly updates to your site are FREE*!

We do changes for you once a month (*up to one hour of text and image changes included monthly) One hour per month is usually sufficient for most customers. These changes are included in your $50 monthly fee!

The current rate for additional changes to your website over and above your packaged hour is $25 per hour; however, our hourly rate will go up in 2011. Fees are capped for 5 years on sites begun with us prior to 2011.

Search Engine - Keyword Optimization

We will design the site to achieve high search engine ranking. This is called SEO or Search Engine Optimization.

We will do an exhaustive keyword search for your site's key word optimization.

Getting listed and getting your site a higher "ranking" with the search engines is our primary goal.

When your business is good, our business is good!

The major Search Engines, like Google, Yahoo and MSN all scan the web. Their search "robots" scour the web and rank websites according to algorithms designed to pick up a number of aspects of your website. The most important of these are your keywords and key phrases. A well put together website will continuously build ranking as the months and years add up as a result of this "Organic Search Engine Optimization".

For this reason, it pays to make sure your site is designed correctly. That's what we do! We will help you decide what are your most important keywords and phrases and insert them into your informational text.

Of course, these same keywords are inserted into the meta description and meta tags of your site's source code.

All these efforts as well as additional advertising of your website will keep your ranking on the rise.
