SERVICES
If you are serious about developing a web site to attract and retain
paying customers, sources of research or new ideas, you don't want
to have to worry about whether your page has all the elements needed
to be successful in Cyberspace. Fast, dynamic, colorful, and new
graphics, layouts and incentives need to be carefully balanced with
product or service details that are almost immediately informative
and yet still establish a strong presence. Not for the faint of
heart.
InternetEFX Web Services
will assist you in making those decisions, helping to guide you
around the pitfalls that so many have experienced while staying
ahead of the curve and staying on top of the developing trends in
Internet technology. We will provide you with a single point of
accountability for planning, designing, implementing, managing and
supporting your requirements.
We create attractive and highly functional sites with ease of use as
a guiding principle. We develop our sites with an eye for
compatibility across multiple platforms and browsers. And most
importantly, we truly listen to our client's needs and expectations
in order to develop the best possible strategy for their web site.
This is not only a crucial step in planning the development of the
site, but also helps to reduce costs during the design and
production stages. Because every site is different, and every
company's needs unique, we typically assess prices on an individual
basis, based on hourly development rates. We do our best to assess
accurate prices when we discuss your site and we keep you informed
of any changes throughout the progress of your site. Our Project
Access page allows our clients to preview their site as it is being
developed, keeping the lines of communication open and allowing us
to work efficiently on what is important to the client.
From consulting to web development,
InternetEFX Web Services
is committed to establishing a lasting relationship with all of our
customers. This means our highly qualified technical support team
can analyze and plan a custom solution specifically designed for
your requirements and budget, or assist you with any computer or
web-related technology issues. All backed by our pledge of 100%
customer satisfaction. We want your business and we want to keep it,
so that as the Internet evolves, we can help you stay riding high on
top of the technology wave well into the 21st century.
Web Site Design -
Don't know your HTML from your ASP? No problem! Let us handle
the technical stuff while we create a custom site for you
that’s as individual as you are. Or choose from a multitude of
pre-designed templates that can be easily tailored to your
requirements. Our extensive resources and expertise, with over
20 years of combined Internet knowledge and experience, is
ready to provide you with the quality web site that you
deserve!
Web Site Redesign -
Have an existing site that needs some attention? Is it loading
too slowly? Do you have images that need to be changed or
added? Is your current content old and in need of an update?
Or is your site just plain dull and crying out for a complete
redesign? Tap into our expertise and creativity to transform
your current site into one you’ll be proud of!
Web Site Consulting
- Don’t see your site at the top of the search engines? Have
an application or idea that you’d like to have implemented?
Need to know your options for site hosting or domain names? Or
are you disappointed with your current consultant and looking
for a team that is totally service oriented and
customer-driven? Try InternetEFX
Web Services… we have the
skills and talent to provide results you can count on. We ask
the right questions to get it done right the first time,
saving you time and money. And we are never satisfied unless
you are!
Web Site Quotation
- The first step. Please go to our “Quotation”
page and complete the form with as much detail as possible.
Typically we will respond within one business day. If you have
a question or concern that can be addressed via e-mail, please
go to our “Contact
Us” page, or if you prefer, write us direct at
webmaster@internetefx.com.
Site Marketing -
The last thing anyone wants is to have a web site disappear
into Cyberspace. As specialists in search engine placement and
statistical analysis, we can typically place a client’s web
site within the top ten search results on most of the major
search engines. We can also implement link exchanges with your
site that will target traffic specific to it’s content, as
well as link your site to general Internet “catalogs” that are
used by those interested in the content you have available.
Included as an option on all of our web development quotes, we
will work tirelessly to drive traffic to your site, often
extending ourselves beyond the quoted fee because we realize
it is a crucial aspect to the success of your web site and
vital to our success as web developers!
Web Site Maintenance and
Support - We include 30
days of Gold Support with every web development project, which means
that we will make minor “after-thought” changes to your site free
for thirty days after it is approved and published to the web
(barring a complete overhaul of course). These slight changes are
often needed after a site goes “live” to improve its look or
increase its functionality, and we will likely recommend some
ourselves. However, we will never make any changes to your site
unless it is at your request or with your approval. Beyond the 30
days of Gold Support, changes may still be necessary in order to
keep your content fresh. For a low hourly fee we will provide the
additional support necessary to implement those changes (higher
priority support is also available for an additional fee). This
service can also be provided for existing web sites.
Cross Browser
Compatibility - We are cross browser fanatics! Some of
the most beautiful web sites we have seen do not work in all
browsers. While Internet Explorer does dominate the market,
significant groups of people do prefer to use other browsers,
such as Netscape. We always recommend site designs that comply
with the World Wide Web Consortium, also known as W3C (http://www.w3.org). They are the
final arbiters for most of the information standards currently
in use on the Internet. W3C compliance requires that all
visitors to a compliant site will be able to experience it in
the same way, regardless of which browser they are using. Our
tendency is to stay away from gimmicky, jazzy HTML because of
incompatibility issues. Sometimes simpler is better and we
tend to go with what we know works well.
Text Authoring and
Editing - What you have to say as well as how you say
it is key to establishing a professional presence on the Web.
We offer professional writing services at nominal fees for
both commercial and personal web sites, press releases,
newsletters and articles, information and communication
campaigns, as well as editing and proof reading of
text.
Custom Graphics and
Animated Images - We have some of the best software
available to generate quality custom graphics for you. Though
there are thousands of web sites out there that offer free
clip art, our preference would be to create all original
graphics for your site that will display the thoughts you are
trying to convey as well as your individuality. We also offer
custom animated image graphics for banners, advertising, and
other applications.
Custom Logo Design
- Put our creative processes and state of the art image
editors to work for you on a logo design that is unique,
vibrant, and will represent your company for years. We can
even give your current logo a facelift or accurately digitize
it for use in electronic documents or communication.
Digital Photography, Photo
Editing, and Scanning - Do you already have photo
images that you would like to use for your site? For an hourly
fee we can scan photos, company literature, or artwork. Or we
can schedule a photography session to take digital pictures of
your establishment and/or products. In addition, our graphics
software provides the capability of extensive photo editing to
your specifications.
Ad Banner Packages
- Let us quote pricing for your next ad banner
promotion.
JavaScript, DHTML
- We can create custom JAVA scripting to support a multitude
of applications on your site. We can also incorporate DHTML
(Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language), which can provide page
effects similar to Macromedia Flash at a fraction of the cost
of creating Flash applications. Most of these effects are only
available to Internet Explorer users but Netscape's new 6.0
browser is now able to support many of them.
Java Applets -
There are a wide array of applets available for your site that
support many different applications and effects. Most of these
are available for free but some do require purchase.
Bulletin Boards, Online
Surveys, Interactive Forms & Guest Books - These
customized interactive forms are similar to those you will
find on our quote and contact us pages. They can be tailored
to provide a means of obtaining virtually any type of
information that you would like to retrieve from visitors to
your site, including questionnaires, online product sales, and
many other applications. The forms can be setup to send
visitor responses to a specific e-mail address or post
information to pages within your site, such as message boards,
forums, or guest books.
Custom HTML E-mail
Newsletters - We can create custom web-based e-mail
letters that are great for communicating with subscribers to
your mailing list. Once setup, we can instruct you on how they
can be edited and sent.
E-mail List Maintenance
& Support - For a nominal fee we can maintain your
e-mail list for you or provide instruction on maintaining the
list yourself. Initially we would create the basic page format
per your input, then periodically you would send us an update
that can be inserted into your formatted page and e-mailed to
your list. All mailing lists entrusted to us are kept strictly
confidential.
Restricted Access
- Should you require restricted access, password protection
can be provided for either your entire site or specific areas
of your site.
Live Interactive
Communication - Also known as "chat," can be added to
your new or existing site.
Hosting - We can
either host your site for you (the computer server that your
page resides on the Internet), or setup your new site on a web
host server of your choice.
Secure Hosting -
Secure hosting is also available, used primarily for sensitive
information such as credit card processing. Though there has
been a large influx of inexpensive secure web hosts available
in the market, our recommendation is to use an established,
reliable secure host who offers the most services for the
least amount of money.
Secure eCommerce -
Want to start an online store? There are several things to
consider. Along with the design of the overall look of your
site, a priced list of the merchandise you intend to offer
will need to be developed for inclusion in your pages. Secure
hosting is also a necessity (see above) and the various forms
setup to process the transaction aspect. Ideally your business
is already handling credit card authorizations. If not, you
will either need to have that service setup for yourself or
select a reputable web service (such as Pay Pal) that can
process your credit card sales on a percentage basis.
Shopping Carts -
Nearly all secure hosts for ecommerce sites offer shopping
cart capability. We can setup this hosting for you and have a
shopping cart integrated into your site. As an alternative, we
can setup a shopping cart for you through PayPal, an easy and
inexpensive way for small business websites to accept payments
online. Since you will likely need to revise prices and
add/remove products, for a nominal fee we can either update
the site for you or show you how to perform the maintenance
yourself.
Reasonable Rates -
Our minimum charge for non-contracted web development work is
one (1) hour at $50.00 per hour with no "hidden charges." Lower
rates can be quoted for complete web design/development projects or
long-term web maintenance contracts (please see our
Quote page). |
