WHY MOBILE MATTERS
Location. Location. Location.
85% of all consumers are searching for local businesses online. Those enormous odds are growing daily, and they’re primarily via mobile devices. You need to be where your customers are looking for your products and services.
The Importance of Images in Branding
Science and the psychology of marketing have told us that 90% of the information transmitted to the brain is visual and that visuals are processed 60,000 times faster in the brain than text. What does that mean? The best way to improve your branding is through your images and site design.
How Does this Translate Online?
Two-thirds of consumers surveyed say that clear, detailed images carry more weight than product information or customer ratings. The photos on your site should reflect the quality of your services, products, and brand and show how much you care about your clients. They should also look great and load quickly.
We build mobile friendly websites that help you grow your business and we manage it all for you, which will save you time and allow you to focus on what you do best: your business.

THE NITTY-GRITTY DETAILS
What do you need on your website?
At your initial consultation, we'll discuss your vision for your online storefront. Here are the things we'll discuss:
TECHNICALITIES
Everyone has different levels of knowledge & comfort when it comes to digital marketing. Knowing your comfort level will help determine which areas you’ll feel good about taking over (maintenance) & which areas you might prefer to leave with us. Being prepared with a budget in mind will also be important to bring to your meeting.
SETUP
Building your online home is where we start. Having a beautiful home (attractive) with the soundest structure (technology) is the most important. But there a few different directions you may want to take- how will you be using your new website? Will you want it to be your primary web location? If so, are you ready to stake your own domain name? Be represented on Google? Have your own mobile business phone? Integrate online shopping?
MAINTENANCE
When building your site, it’s important to consider how you will maintain it. As your hosts, we have routine updates built into your hosting plan, but you may need more. You also may want to handle your social media accounts, your blogs, & your email newsletters yourself, or you may want us to help. It’s good to be prepared with an idea of where your resources would be best spent.
Your Digital Real Estate
SEO KEYWORDING
When we build your site, we’ll make sure you’re catching the appropriate prospective buyers when they search for what you offer.
ANALYTICS
We’ll integrate a Google analytics code into your site that will give you periodic reports via email about the type of traffic your website is getting.
TECH UPDATES
Whenever coding technology changes, no worries- we’re on it! Your site will never get outdated by technology as long as we’re in charge.
Building Your Digital Home
When we build your website, you'll have a few options to consider.
DOMAIN
Our hosting package includes a web address that can be saved on your device as a mobile app. That means that virtually any time you hand out a business card, you could show the products & services you offer immediately when you meet potential clients. For better branding & visibility, we could also set up your site at www.yourcompany.com & set up you@yourcompany.com email addresses. This will give your business professionalism & credibility. You could have your own domain name printed on your business cards, flyers, and given to all of your clients for an easy-to-remember online address.
PHONE
We can create a toll-free mobile business number for you that will act as a professional business answering system. The calls will forward to your personal mobile phone during the business hours you set, and head to voicemail when you’re closed or away on trips. You can set up multiple extensions to additional mobile phones, and customize all of your greetings. A mobile business line will protect the privacy of your personal phone & provide a professional number to list on your website & marketing materials.
E-COMMERCE
We can integrate your existing e-commerce solution into your site or set one up for you via Shopify, eBay, or Etsy. This is your chance to give your products the ability to be purchased online. We could integrate the solution into your site & give you all the know-how of running it yourself, or we could update your products for you & just let you do the minimal work of fulfilling orders.
VIRTUAL TOURS
We’ve partnered with our favorite local Google-trusted photographer to set you up on Google with 360° virtual tours of your location and full registration into Google’s database to get your business listed with your location, business hours, address & phone. A virtual tour will allow your customers to get a virtual experience of walking through your front door and looking around your store. We’ll integrate your tour into your website to give your customers the fullest presentation of your business!
Maintaining Your Online Presence
It’s one thing for your clients to find you on search engines & then to learn all about you from your website. You’ve set up all of the right channels to get them in touch with you and into your store. Maintaining interaction with your clients while they’re away from your store is critical to maintaining your relationships. Online search engines will give websites the highest rankings which have the most interactions (strongest online presence), which means the more you talk online with your customers, link to and from your website, and get real customers visiting your site- the more immediate your website will come up in online searches when shoppers are looking for the products & services you offer. Managing your presence online or letting someone help you is an important decision for your business & your new website.
SITE UPDATES
You may be a long-since established business or a new startup building up your products & services. Things will change around your store as your business continues to evolve. Employees will come & go, you may remodel, and you’ll probably adjust your products & servicesover time. You might need new photographs or some tweaks to your content over time. We’re happy to include various levels of content updates with your package.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Your website setup includes integration with your existing (or new) social media accounts like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. If you need help to keep a good flow of your updates & the buzz surrounding your business, we can help! We can consult with you to teach you the ins & outs of the social media sphere, or manage it for you.
EMAIL MARKETING
We can setup a simple, unobtrusive invitation on your website to invite new customers to sign up for your newsletters. We can also help you with maintaining a database of your signups & show you how to send periodic attractive marketing emails to keep your customers up to date with your growing business. If you’d rather not take on the task yourself, we can do this for you.
BLOGS
Maintaining a blog is one of the best ways on the internet to attract new business & keep existing customers engaged with you. We can link to most existing blogs like Wordpress, or set one up for you. We’ll be happy to consult with you about the importance & how-to of blogging, or can help manage this task for you.
E-COMMERCE UPDATES
If you sell your products online, integrating an e-commerce solution into your new website will be important. More than two-thirds of today’s shoppers make their purchases online! It’s critical to keep your online inventory a real reflection of your ability to fulfill orders. Once we integrate e-commerce into your site, we’ll give you all the know-how of running it yourself, or we could update your products for you & just let you do the minimal work of fulfilling orders.
The Bottom Line
Your website should reflect what your business needs & nothing more. Remember we'll always be a phone call or email away if you'd like to make any adjustments to how powerful you want your site to be. We want to see you grow!
