Domains and hosting and servers, oh my! We are happy to help you choose a domain name(s) for your business. We will assist in the registration process and keep track of its renewal date.
Once your website is ready to "go live", we will assist in the purchase of a hosting package that suits your needs. Hosting is necessary because the components of your website must reside on a server so that anyone with internet access can view your site.
Pricing for these services varies depending on the amount of time you choose to register your domain name and the "size" of your site. We quote these prices before commencing work.
What's next? A FREE consultation starts the process. We assess your website needs (a full web audit of an existing site is billed separately - see below) and learn about you and your business so that we can put together an accurate proposal.
The PROPOSAL generated will reflect the services that you require whether it is domain name registration, web hosting, and of course, web design. It may be divided into different phases to accommodate your budget or the future growth of your business. It will be easy to read and understand.
A DEPOSIT engages our services, at which point we will give you a time frame within which to expect certain parts of the project to be complete.
SIGN OFF on the site and structure, and your website will be up and running in no time! IT'S THAT EASY! Our goal is for all of us to have some fun along the way and to produce a website that is really terrific.

Favicons -
Add a professional touch. Favicon (pronounced fav-eye-con) is short for 'Favorites Icon.' A Favicon is a tiny image that gives your site a customized appearance. Within internet browser windows (IE or Firefox, etc.) the favicon is the little logo in the address bar next to your URL where you normally see the browser logo; it also appears as an eye-catching logo in a viewer's Favorites menu. A Favicon should reflect the look and feel of the website and/or business logo.
wcpDesign.com can create and install a Favicon for you. Click here and read an online article to learn more. Reasonably priced and done quickly. It is a great bang for your buck.
SEO - The buzz phrase that stands for "Search Engine Optimization." In short, it is the use of various techniques to improve a web site's ranking with search
engines and thus attract more visitors. Because this topic is so extensive, we couldn't possibly begin to explain it here; thus we recommend reading this page from Google - click here.
We pride ourselves in keeping on top of the latest SEO news. The strategy we apply to your website follows Google guidelines which we have posted as a pdf. Hire us to optimize your site today! Visit our TechTalk page for links to current SEO articles.
Search Engine Submission - Major search engines use "spiders" to index or "crawl" your website. To ensure that your website is properly indexed we submit your URL (domain name) to the three most popular search engines: Google, Bing and Yahoo. If we created your website, this is included; however, we also offer this service to you if someone else originally worked on your site.
Online Business Directory Submission - Hire us to submit your information to Google and Map Quest so that your business appears when someone searches either service. Your company name, address, phone number and website will show. This is an important component of your web marketing strategy. If your website is created by us, consider it done!
If not, we can do this for you anytime!
Website audits - A page by page analysis of your current website, to assess usability, functionality and aesthetics. An extensive written report is generated with details about every web page. This service is extremely valuable if you are considering an overhaul of your site. Use us to make the necessary changes and the price of the audit will be CREDITED back to you!
We also run your site through the W3C Markup Validation Service to catch any coding errors that would prevent your site from functioning properly.
Email campaigns with Constant Contact® - Reach your target market with professional, custom and consistent email blasts. Many ISPs (internet service providers) limit the number of emails and addresses you can send an email to at one time, thus guarding against bulk emailing. Worse yet, you could be identified as a spammer and have your email address blacklisted by any number of ISPs. To avoid this and to create a lasting impression, we use Constant Contact® for our own newsletter and highly recommend it as part of your marketing campaign.
We set up your account, build a template for your newsletter using your branding components and teach you how to create your email address lists. Simple as that! Visit their website to learn more...ConstantContact.com and then call us to get started.
Real Estate websites -
As a real estate agent, you know that getting a listing is a very competitive task. Stand out from the crowd by offering perspective sellers their very own website with a custom web address, such as www.468MainStreet.com. Add photos, short video tours and a property description and you have a unique marketing piece that is sure to impress your clients. Best of all it is branded with your name and contact information for a lasting impression.
Advertise the web address in your print marketing, as well as other online components and you have a very effective campaign. While everyone else is using expensive one-time newspaper ads and relying on other online services for the property to be discovered, a dedicated website shows your clients that you care. Include the web address on the street sign, your personal realtor website and all property literature. Our Real Estate Websites are done quickly and inexpensively.
Domain & hosting registration and transfers - Dissatisfied with your current web hosting company? We will assist in the transfer of your domain name and website files to Register.com. where you own and control your domain name(s) and hosting packages. We DO NOT mark up the prices and do this as a courtesy if we create a website for you.
