What do you get with the web site we design for your needs?
Firstly, your web site will be an enterprise Class site. It will be designed to allow you all in one common spot/common username/password to accomplish your goals and do so with the best search engine results possible for your enterprise. It will be easy for you or your staff to manage and add content including New Pages, Events in your calendar, as well as include Photos/Logos/VIDEOS, and more.
Although we DO offer total site management as do most web designs/hosting companies, by being able to add much of your sites content yourself, you will find it saves you a FORTUNE in site maintenance fees in a short amount of time. With your own CMS system (content management system) in place for your sites needs, YOU are finally in control over your site no matter WHERE YOU ARE 24/7...
In addition we are here and include In Person Support/training available at our home office location in Hastings, FL location included in our cost and upon an appointment. We can quickly show you HOW to add pages, photos, manage all your content and much more as leading Internet pros since 1993.
Okay, here is how your site will function basically. Your site will be PHP driven with an SQL back end. This is a very reliable type system. It is Modular in its approach (IE: contains modules for anything you need to do at the site) and Granular in effect (in that you can allow Memberships at your site and grant membership rights in a very granular member to member basis).
The various INCLUDED modules are many and can be turned ON today as you need them, OR turned OFF until a later date as you may not need to use them all right away. It is YOUR choice and we are here to assist and guide you every step of the way as your needs evolve. Here are the module we have tested and are setup by default with popular Categories and such already setup (remember you can TURN OFF that you do not need for now).
- Automatically syndicated News Articles: When you create a new News Item it is syndicated via RSS feeds which the search engines LOVE and makes it easy for your viewers to SUBSCRIBE to to keep up to date about the happenings at your site
- Six different Searchable Classifieds modules: Includes General, Automotive, Boats, Business sections, Realty Sections, and Personals. You can allow memberships for FREE for the General classifieds such as allowing Members of your site to post Garage Sale notices, Lost and Found items, etc.... (help generate interest by offering Free Classifieds), and CHARGE a fee per post to the other sections as you wish.
- Agenda Calendar of upcoming events: simply an online calendar of upcoming events and easy to manage. Public and PRIVATE events can both be offered as you wish.. Events ARE searchable too!

- Chat Box: is Ajax controlled and can be setup to allow casual member to member chats if you wish
- PM System: member to member means of allowing members to safely contact each other, send small files back and forth and more. Works sorta like a Private Email System
- Secure online PayPal type shopping cart system: allows you to place articles for sale ONLINE and checkout at PayPal, OR opt for Email only type ordering
- EMS: member to member search utility allows a member to FIND another member maybe interested in the same things (playing chess, fishing, hunting, Dating, etc)
- IPhone or Cell Phone viewing of your site: People CAN VIEW your site on their cell phones and such using a Specialized Template designed for such
- Theme Changer: this can allow for certain Modules/pages to load into a totally unique template for a different look when viewing that Module/Page, etc
- Small Banner Ads: can be displayed and logged per impressions/page views and more for Advertising purposes
- Members Article Columns: This is much like the news articles but can be assigned on a per member basis.. You can say assign a Fishing Channel to a local Bait and Tackle shop,Give that member RIGHTS to post their content within that channel and CHARGE THEM for such rights accordingly or offer it FREE to them as you wish.
- Links section: basically allows members you wish the ability to add Links to their sites at yours.
- Jokes, Arcade Games, Postcards: These are geared at keeping viewers of your site interested as they may COME to your site once to see what it is about and then move on! With offering them fun Games, and Free Postcards they can send out, they will more likely BOOKMARK your site refer it to friends of theirs and return again and again. (sales being a numbers game means this = more SALES)
- Photo Gallery: easy to use and since this one allows for Meta tags and descriptions of the photos, it does well in the search engines too!
- Forums: typical online forums many love. You can setup Public or Private or use both for certain forum threads. Very easy to use
- Private or Public Pages: You can create pages and such viewable to ONLY certain CLASSES of members, or even HIDE the page altogether for internal uses only..

- Custom Memberships and Membership Fields: You can setup custom Fields for members of your site easily. Very Flexible.
- What you See is What You Get inline editor: (wysiwyg) editing system makes it as easy as using a word processor (that is what it actually is) to produce Full Rich HTML type documents/pages without having to learn a programming language to do so. This is one of the MAIN things we help SHOW YOU how to use effectively and little tips n tricks to get things done.
- Google Friendly Site Map Generator: included and fully automated not only Creates search engine friendly XML site maps, but also ROR site maps, HTML site maps, AND re submits them automatically to Google and the other major Search engines Automatically for you (you do not need do anything at all)...

- Ability to EASILY send emails to ALL your sites members all at once from within the program
And there is MORE as well, but the above are the basics all ready to go as you need them 
Your site will basically ALREADY have 100 or more PAGES already created before we even start to add YOUR content!
Service Updates:
Your web site consists of PHP programs/Modules. Whenever there is a New module you may find of value available, OR when there are improvements to a module you are already using, we will TEST them out on our test bed site. If we find they are reliable and of added value we will contact you about them, how they work, and you decide if you wish us to install them for you at your site. There is NO COST to you for this service for an entire YEAR for module Updates, or to install NEW ONES as they become available 
Your site WILL ALREADY contain the most Popular/and Valuable modules loaded at your site. Some will already be installed and ready to use already setup with popular Categories and options such as your Forums, Classifieds, etc.., Others are also loaded but not installed - Takes a couple of mouse clicks to install and configure modules not already activated (We will be happy to do this for you when you are ready)...
SEO Stuff:
Now, in addition, WE INCLUDE first time SEO tasks included in the cost you have been quoted FREE of any extra fees after 3 months your site has been online.. This gives YOU and us enough time to Tweak up some of your sites content, add NEW pages (optimized to do well in the search engines), and make sure we are both aligned with your business model.. Normally this is a $250 value for sites WE have designed, and much more for those we have not.
Local Marketing included:
Your enterprise being a local NE Florida area business SHOULD be linked up with other local area businesses/portals. We have such portals community oriented online and will create a nice presence for yours as well within our own managed sites which are relevant to YOUR location and what it is your enterprise is about.
Web Site hosting Costs:
Your web site will be hosted on our speedy dedicated class 5 data center located servers for 1 month at no cost to you for the year. After 1 month is expired, we will review your traffic, and make a suggestion to you at that time for a hosting package we serve on our servers. At ANY TIME, you too can easily review your bandwidth used, disk space used, and more via your CPANEL which assure you we will NOT be trying to upsell you on a service you really are not in need of.
Should you wish to MOVE your site to a different Host Masters machines, that option is totally up to you! You would loose certain advertising/marketing incentives we make available ONLY to hosted clients however. USING this CMS system is easy to do once it is setup of course. We maintain our own Dedicated servers and as such we have full Root Access to the servers! Having this system setup with a different hosting company WILL REQUIRE that the hosting company ALSO has full ROOT access to the server your site will be located upon as certain Root Only type commands must be issued which only the Sysop (systems admin if you will or server owner) can issue in most cases.
If you wish to MOVE your site to a different hosting company please review our How To Move Your site document and refer it to your new hosting company for a smooth transition to their services.
All you need to do if you wish to move your site is to have Your Guy contact us and we will send that person a File which explains JUST what needs to be done - No Fuss, no Muss. YEP! Even if you will be using OldCity Web or Auglink, We will STILL need to get with their main server guy as they too will be clueless what to change and such.
Our Hosting packages range from $4.95 to $49.95 per month. MOST businesses frankly find the $9.95 per month option more than enough! Those with serious Membership bases, OR Advertising pages for other businesses loaded with artwork, logos, video, etc may find our $19.95 package something they must have.
The whole thing about a successful site or NOT being successful is rather simple once you have the proper web 2.0 CMS systems in place (that IS what your site will be of course)... CONTENT IS KING of the hill in the eyes of the search engines, Using the proper Tag Elements within your pages also matters a great deal, Domain NAME is also very important, RSS feeds today is important, Regularly Updated Site Maps is very important, Link BACKS to YOUR site from other locally oriented sites is very important (and the hardest thing to get done)...
We include ALL these things by default when we design/host your important enterprise/business site, and we do it very well 
Many places make you offers.... Few deliver on promises :( Most clients/consumers have NO IDEA what it is they really need to be successful online or offline for that matter. They are confused by fancy terms and even total costs. We know what all these things mean, and if you call us, we CAN answer your questions in any regard but prefer to do so using common ENGLISH and not some fancy dancy terms many like to use to confuse the heck out of you.
Thanks;
