911 HELP!

Many people ask me how WebsiteForge can help their business in a slow economy. Actually, it's the same answer as "How can WebsiteForge help my business in a Good Economy".   ANSWER> Search Engine Optimization!   There is a HUGE shift in people using the Internet instead of the Phone Book to find a business in their area of need. Think about it, "when was the last time you used the phone book vs the Internet to find something?"   If you don't have a website and that website is not search engine optimized to be found in the top 3 pages of the search engines you might as well not have one unless you love spending money advertising on TV, Radio and Print telling people you have a Website.   And, remember that phone book shift, where people are using the Internet instead? More and More people are going to the Internet to watch TV, listen to Radio and read the Newspaper. So your advertising dollars to generate traffic to your website are dramatically being reduced.   The best thing you can do in the slow times and good times, is to use WebsiteForge's Website & Search Engine Optimization Technology and let it do the work for you to generate potential customers or clients to your business website.   The Lifeline to your business being successful is ADVERTISING, our websites do the Advertising for you at next to nothing per month and it will out perform TV, Radio and Print advertising both in the short term and long term on a CPL (Cost Per Lead) basis.   Call or e-mail me to learn more! Or better yet, purchase a website from WebsiteForge and let us prove it!   Thanks, Douglas A.

Do you need financial help with your business website project? If you do, please read this post. I know businesses are hurting these days, but I'm here to tell you, online sales are going through the roof and you're going to miss out if you don't have your website programmed the correct way to capture online leads.   In order to get high results in the free search engines your website needs to be programmed to do so. Just having Meta Tags on your site is not enough. You need what's called an ISMFS or Internal Site Mapping File System programmed into your website so the search engines will give you a preference over other sites without one. The Downside: Here's the problem with the ISMFS (Internal Site Mapping File System) it can cost a small fortune to program your existing website with one. The average E-commerce website can run $50,000+ and the average informational website can run $10,000+ but typically can help your site achieve page 1, 2 or 3 results for the keywords or keyphrases that will help make your site money. At WebsiteForge we spent over $150,000 and invest over $50,000 a year to make sure the ISMFS (Internal Site Mapping File System) that we have developed - works all the time! This allows businesses to help rank extremely high in the search engines and achieve page 1, 2 or 3 results. The Upside: With WebsiteForge we don't charge $10,000 or $50,000 for this technology, but you do have to host your website with us and become a Member of our Community, which I think is one of the best reasons to switch to WebsiteForge's website platform and management services. Not only do you get a technology that you may not be able to afford, but you also get over $250,000 in Hosting technology and additional programming to improve the performance of your site for only $49-$99/month depending on your level of service. This website building platform with the ISMFS and Content Management Tool to edit your site could cost your business $10,000 to $50,000 or more. As a member of WebsiteForge's Community your investment is only a fraction of that. Depending on the level of your site design, it could be anywhere from the following... Free In-stock Template sites: $99 Basic Template Color Design: $249 Custom Graphic Designed Site: $599 Custom Graphic Designed Site w/Home page graphics: $999 Site Conversion (depend on the setup time - call for a quote) E-commerce add $500 for the shopping cart software  - Setup add $1000 (depends on the setup time - call for quote)  - Product Import $500 Informational Page layout & Setup by WebsiteForge is $75/page/hour  - If you use our Content Management Tool you can setup your own pages.  - Ecommerce pages do not count as Informational pages. We're seeing sites getting up to 1231%+ more traffic in just 2-6 months of being with WebsiteForge and the conversion rates increasing up to 34% and higher. If you had those increases, just think what that would do for your bottom line! Contact me today to discuss how WebsiteForge can help your web sites financial performance. Douglas A.

  I did have a question about using a website that is built using either MS Front Page or HTML Code:  So are these types of designs becoming archaic?  Do most web design "mills" use this technology?  Will more and more companies begin using software like what WebsiteForge offers?   If I use one of your designed websites, can I easily change images, fonts, etc?? I have gathered some photos and clip art that I really like and wanted to know how easily these could be incorporated into my site.   I realize that a e-commerce site costs more.  Again, I am not planning on selling many products at first.  How does the number of products affect the cost of the website?   Thanks for your help!   Amy ---------------------------------------      Most of the medium-large companies have moved to software similar to WebsiteForge. The reason is it's ease to add other software in the future and keeping cost low. A web master used to make $200K a year just 5 years ago, now a person making $30K can do the same thing with newer technology. There are still companies using the old methods, but they are still paying the high cost of updating their sites as well.   With WebsiteForge sites you can easily change images and text in just seconds and publish the site live to the web.   Our e-commerce allows you to have unlimited products in the shopping cart. The only other cost difference is the Managed Services which is $49/mo instead of the $29/mo. The difference in the cost is because the software requires more space on the servers and the unlimited customer support and software updates we offer. Thanks, Doug
