Web Site Design
Voltamp Media designs web sites; web sites that sell, web sites that inform, web sites that share. Every small business needs a web site to establish rapport before your clients even meet you. Let me share a story with you. A client of mine sent out a post card mailer to advertise a summer special of his. His post card included his web site. A client called him asking for a service. Before he had a chance to present his sales pitch, the client already knew which service she wanted. The web site had established rapport, trust, and confidence before my client even spoke to his new client. My client happened to be in the contractor business where rapport, trust, and confidence is rare. Don't you want that type of power working for you and your business? That is the power of a web site. They compliment current marketing efforts and build from there.
Web Site Services
SEO
Search Engine Optimization is a process of designing a web site so that search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN can understand the content of your web site so that searchers can find your site. SEO starts at the architecture stage of the web design process. Voltamp Media optimizes all of our web site designs at the architecture level, design level, and content level.
Web Hosting
Every web site needs a web host. A web host holds all of the web site files to "serve" files to your visitors. There are many things to consider when purchasing web hosting, including hardware, software, latency, and bandwidth. Choosing the wrong web host means your clients can't reach your products, services, or information.
Content Authoring
Content authoring is a very important pillar for your small business web site. Content, also referred to as copy, can make or break your web site. Flash animations, pictures, and color make things look nice, but it is your copy that sells your business, even for photographers! Voltamp Media works intimately with our clients to extract custom content specific to your business and industry.
eCommerce
eCommerce is the act of selling products online. Amazon is an excellent example of an organization that starting selling products out of their garage in an ecommerce setting. Selling products online can be a great starting point for start-up product manufacturers. The cost of a storefront is far higher than the cost of an ecommerce web site. What products can you sell online?
