Website NOT Mobile = Less Sales

Our Discovery

We discovered that with New Technology we could design one site that automatically adjusts to all screen sizes, and gives users optimal performance on all devices.

This in turn has a dramatic impact on the user’s impression when they visit your website, which in turn increases sales.

How It Works

Step 1. You enter partnership by signing contract and issuing payment (day 1)

Step 2. You completely fill out Client Questionnaire. (week 1)
This is a very important step. We cannot begin work until we have all the necessary details about you and your company. Once this information is received, then we will begin work immediately.

Step 3. You choose Business Theme. This actually happens at the same time as step 2. (week 1)

Step 4. You provide content that you want us to put on these pages: (week 1-2)

  • Home
  • About
  • Services
  • Contact

This is probably the most important piece of info we need from you. It is imperative that we get it back from you within 2 weeks.

Step 6. We adjust the site, colors, and branding to match your company’s brand.(week 3)

Step 7. You look at the site. We send you a link to the test site, to either approve the site for launch, or tell us what changes and adjustments need to be made. (week 3-4)

Step 8. You approve the site. (week 4)

Step 9. We launch the site (week 4-6) This is the most exciting part. Your site is now live on your domain name. You can now tell the world about your new website, and start getting website traffic, and making more sales.

Step 10. We notify the search engines about your site. (week 4-6) The search engines do not know that your new website exists. Therefore we need to let them know about it.
