Have a website for your writing business or for each book, to boost sales and build a base of readers. You can present teasers (excerpts), offer downloadable eBooks, connect with your publisher, take orders for sales by mail, communicate via forum or newsletter, and even incorporate a blog to support your promotional platform.

For Businesses and Organizations

Commercial and informational presences on the Internet are vital in our contemporary high tech economy. Save customers or clients time by having critical information online. Full scale development, maintenance, and redesigns are available for ecommerce activities, using a variety of software applications.

For Individuals

Having a website, whether for fun or self-promotion, is once again affordable. Why settle for boring templates and limited functionality when you can have a hand-crafted website designed to suit your personal needs and desires?

Here are some possibilities: share family photographs, genealogy, news, and histories; promote and/or publish stories, novels, poetry, and other writing; communicate instantly with friends and family members anywhere in the world all day long; make your resume and portfolio instantly available; start a club for your special interest or hobby, and publish a newsletter, journal, or blog.

Website Services

Creation

Building a good website is a complicated, multi-functional activity requiring a lot of planning and preparation before anything appears on the screen. It involves basics such as selecting and registering a domain name and I.P. address and finding a host with the services required. Many decisions are necessary before design and development begin.

Tune Ups or Redesigns

If your site hasn’t changed in a year, it probably needs at least a makeover. Visitors bore easily and don’t return to a site where nothing happens, nothing changes in appearance. Perhaps you’d like to add new services such as a newsletter, online payment, a forum, or update a database.

Maintenance

Websites need care and feeding, just like children. Each month the visitor statistics should be analyzed to guide a quality improvement cycle of planning, implementation, and evaluation. Attention to the ever-changing world of search engines is another ongoing need. A dynamic site requires content changes, and all the elements associated with starting a site must be monitored for optimal functionality.
