Introduction to Website Solutions
Recognized as one of Jacksonville’s top web development and leading SEO (Search Engine Optimization) companies, Website Solutions is committed to marketing projects that move business. Website Solutions offers a cross-fertilization of strategic ideas in brand strategy, communications, web design and multimedia solutions.
The members of our team possess a broad range of experience and expertise, so every phase of your project is monitored and implemented to ensure the highest-quality result.
Our creative and technical team members are immediately involved in your brainstorming sessions, enabling us to understand your goals and strategies to give you the best possible solution.
We develop and maintain trusting, mutually beneficial relationships with our clients by working hard at team-building with your organization to be sure business objectives are met.
We use a project management process that actively involves our clients during the duration of the project and employ cost-effective approaches that are sensitive to budget concerns.
Website Solutions understands how to make the web work for CW. We strive to understand your overall goals, how the web can work to achieve those goals and deliver a website that exceeds expectations.
Professional Website Design & Navigation – The websites will be a portal for clients to find information and contact CW.
The website designs need to be clear, professional and intuitive for website visitors in order to establish their association as the best provider to do business with (and work for) among its peers in the industry. Website Solutions will work as a team with CW staff to create a mobile ready website. Internal pages will match the theme of the homepage. The usability and navigation of the websites will be of utmost importance in the organizational architecture of the website.
The final sitemap will be determined by working with CW staff to organize content areas.
The website provided by Website Solutions will be equipped with an easy-to-use, robust content management system (CMS). The CMS we use is WordPress which will allow for non-technical CW staff members to add, edit or delete content areas of the website based on the individual user’s role-based permissions in the system. CW will have complete control over the direction of the content of the website or you can always depend on Website Solutions to make requested updates quickly.
We are so confident in WordPress, we built our own website with it.
Website Solutions will provide website hosting for the new website. As a re-seller for major website hosting services, your website will reside in a safe and fast VPS environment. Our VPS uses only SSD drives ensuring industry leading website speeds.
Email is not included in this proposal.
Websites hosted by Website Solutions are monitored and security patches installed as needed to insure the safety of your website and our servers. Our aggressive approach to updating is key to keeping your website intrusion free.
Adding good content to your website is a win-win for you and the web community. Search engines know when a site is stale, and they also know when a website continually adds good content. We encourage all of our customers who feel ranking well in search engines helps their business to update their websites on an ongoing basis.
Websites hosted by Website Solutions include online, real-time website traffic statistics to measure amount of visits, which pages and sections receive the most usage. The statistics will also include references to which search engines or other (linked) websites are driving traffic to the CW website.
In creating the best possible branding for CW, Website Solutions will develop professional quality, graphical images. Website Solutions will utilize customer supplied photography to help convey the CW message.
Additional stock photography is available. 10 stock images are included for the account. Additional images are available for a fee.
Videos are a great way to convey your message. Customer supplied videos can be included on the website. Creating, building and/or editing videos is available as a separate service.
Based on the requirements of the project in this document, Website Solutions would expect a project of this size to take approximately 45 days from submission of customer photos and content for the website, assuming that all project deliverables and milestones are met on time.
Timeline and costs are Website Solutions best estimates based on the project as it has been defined thus far. Changes to functionality during the course of the project may affect the costs and/or the time it takes to complete the project. If changes to the original concept are requested during the design and implementation of the new CW website, CW and Website Solutions will agree if a Change Order is needed. Line item edits are a normal part of the design flow and a change order is not necessary. Change orders are for items bigger in scope such as new pages/sections or additional imagery which will require a proposal and acceptance by CW.
Optimizing your website is a necessary first step in presenting your website to search engines. SEO Launch is an additional service that introduces new companies using a methodical approach. Branding and imagery is set up for social platforms as well as information aggregators. Social accounts already set-up will be rebranded with a consistent graphics package meeting the requirements of each provider. Aggregator accounts will be created or modified to give consistent results across the web.
Website Solutions is often regarded as a company that cares as much about the projects they work on as the customers themselves. Website Solutions strives to be “your partners in excellence”. We look forward to working with you, listening, learning and giving back to CW, an excellent website!
