After your website is online, you will want to maximize your investment. Web Design Makers offers an effective maintenance and promotion program at a very low cost per month.

MAINTENANCE:
Good maintenance ensures that the information on your site is available, up-to-date, and functioning properly. One of the keys to building a strong visitor base is to keep the information on your site fresh and current. This can be accomplished by adding or changing pages on your site regularly. We will also analyze the number of visitors to your site each month, track where they are coming from, and then make suggestions for improvement when necessary to increase the efficiency of your website.

• Maintain Your Entire Site
We check regularly for broken links (missing images or pages that can't be found) and other issues on your site, and make suggestions as necessary for changes and updates.

• 1 Free Page Per Month
One free page replacement per month. This is the perfect place to include monthly specials, a company newsletter, new product advertisements, seasonal offerings, flyers, or other announcement to your customers.

• 3 Free Changes Per Month
Add, remove, or update information to keep your site up-to-date and interesting.

• Traffic Analysis
We will send you a monthly report that outlines the number of visitors to your site, and breaks down the information in an easy-to-review format. It includes such data as: most popular pages on your site, and what time of day and day of the week/month the visitors are accessing your site.

• Search Engine Results Report
This report gives you an in-depth look at how visitors are finding your site. It includes the number of visitors, which search engine (including Samples On Line) that they used to find you, and which search words they typed in to find your site. You will be able to see which key words and search engines are most useful for your website.

PROMOTION:
The best-designed website on the internet is useless if potential customers can't find it. You will want to advertise your site the old-fashioned way by including your web address on all of your company's print advertising, such as brochures, business cards, packaging, and magazine ads. In addition to these time-tested promotional methods, internet customers will find you using search engines, or special websites that allow the user to type in a word or phrase and find relative websites. Excellent placement in the top search engines is a critical factor in the successful marketing of your website. Web Design Makers will optimize your site's design for the search engines, and then we will submit your information to the top 25 on a regular basis. In addition, we go the extra distance by monitoring your placement and making changes as necessary to improve your site's ranking.

• Free Advertising on Samples On Line
Every website built and maintained by Web Design Makers is automatically included in our Samples On Line directory.

• Search Engine Submission
We submit your website to the top 25 search engines on a regular basis. Web Design Makers has researched each of these search engines, and we submit your information in the required format of each one. Many submission services only submit data automatically using a software program. We carefully review your descriptions and keywords, and submit your website manually where necessary for best results.

• Search Engine Tracking
We not only submit your website to the top 25 search engines, we also analyze your site's ranking on each of the sites. This allows us to adjust your search criteria accordingly, and to make any necessary changes to improve your ranking.
