Virtual & Non-Virtual Site Definitions

Virtual Sites

A virtual site is a web site using an unique domain name, such as "www.your-domain-name.com"

Non-Virtual Sites

A non-virtual site is a web site on one of our domain. For example: "www.ourdomain.com/yourname"

These sites are for those who wish not to have their own domain, or wish to use their unique name that is no longer available. For example if, "yourname.com" is in use, you can still use it on a non-virtual site.

Basic Web Design Services

Price Per Page

These prices per page include all services listed for one year under Basic Wed Design Services unless otherwise stated

• Price per virtual page--------------------------------------$99/per page
• Price per non-virtual page---------------------------------$59/per page
• Multi Page Sites-SITE MAP--------------------------------FREE
• CT Computer Service Tax (where applicable)---------------+2%

Web Page

• 2-4 browser screens of content (640x480 resolution), that is, each time you enter "page down" or "page up" equals one screen
• Up to six GIF, JPEG, and/or Java Applets  graphics, that is,  Non-text formats. (ex. photos, navigation buttons, illustrations, pictures, etc.)
• Up to 10 hyper-links within the site or to rest of Internet, that is, Navigational aids to change pages, sites, or to change locations with-in a page.

Web Graphics

These are unique web graphics per page. Graphics repeated on other pages that do not require modification are not counted as unique web graphics.

Types of Graphics

• GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) is the basic web graphic.

• JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a higher quality graphic than GIF used in photos and other high resolution graphics.

• Other graphics, such as, Java Applets are used in navigation buttons. Therefore, one unique group of buttons would constitute one applet. (An example of this type is the navigation buttons on the left side of pages on the www.waltbren.com web site.)
  

Daily Site Monitoring and Site Problem Resolution

Please note: This service is included when you purchase one of our web hosting plans. When not using our web hosting plan some of these services may be restricted because of access, depending on the hosting service you are using.

• Assuring that the web site is running properly.

• Assuring that all links are working properly.

• Taking necessary action to correct any occurring problem.

One Monthly Site Update

This updating service is for minor modification of information on existing pages in the web. For example, this could be used to update/add specials and /or coupons that are you are offering or to change/add  dates of events listed on the site. 

This does not include  major changes to the page format or addition of completely new pages and  information, as this would constitute a major change which is covered under Additional Services.

Quarterly Site Statistics

• Once each quarter you will receive a report on usage of your site.

• This report will include:
  

  •  How many visitors to the site
  •  Detailed report with graphs, if available on your website traffic
  •  How many page hits to the site
  •  And recommendations to improve the number of site visitors

One-time site registration in major search engines

• Assuring the placement of optimal <meta> tags in the <heading> of the web document for optimal search engine performance. Criteria for search engines are constantly changing and we do try to keep up with these changes.
• The following is the list of the one-time registration to search engines with the basic web design package (note: some of these engines may not be available because of changing Search Engine policies):
  

  AltaVista	Amnesi	Anzwers	ByteSearch	Claymont	Euroferret
  Excite	Funky Cat	Go	Google	HotBot	ICQ
  Info Tiger	InfoSeek	Lycos	Lycos UK	Magellan	Northern Light
  OneSeek	Search It	Searchopolis	Super Snooper	WebCrawler

• Also included is a one time submission to (1000+) Free For All (FFA) pages. These pages a lists of links that are constantly changing with additions of other sites. This submission will generate tons of junk email (you will not receive any of this junk mail), of which we will be the clearing house.
  
  FFA are pages that are constantly changing for they are constantly receiving new submissions . In some cases an added link may be bumped off to make room for a newer addition, hence resubmitting is needed. But, FFA pages are akin to dropping leaflets in a parking lot, they may not be read, but they do increase your links to your site which increases your link rating and linkage popularity, another search engine criteria for many of the engines today.
• You will receive a report of engines submitted to.

• Recommend a minimum 3-page site to include:
  
  •  Index page (home) including general info, contact info
  •  Location page (map and directions)
  •  Additional information i.e. dealing with specific information or advise about the product/service
  •  Each particular product and/or service should be on its own page.
  • Included with multi-page sites is the FREE Site Map page (table of contents)
    
• Other recommended pages that may be included:
  
  • "What’s New" to announce new changes to site or product/services. (ex. Promotions)
  • "About Us" to let your clients/customers know who you are to gain their confidence in you and your product/service.
  • Again, each particular product and/or service should be on its own page.
    

Search Engine Recommendations

• Updating content of site is very important to keep it from going stale and to keep search engines looking at it. Sites with old material will get recycled to bottom of search engine lists, which will result in fewer visitors to the site.
• Also, updating of the  web content allows for better results for additional search engine submissions which can be done about every 8 weeks (See Additional Services)
• The results in traffic to your site from search engines may take from a few days to six months, depending on the search engine. Multiple submission to search engines is highly recommended. (See Search Engine Submissions in Additional Services)
• Highly recommended is the Index Submissions in Additional Services. Indexes can bring more results in the long run than search engines.
• Also, to increase traffic, it is recommended that you place your web site address on all business forms, cards, advertisements, etc.
• Links from your suppliers to your site and links back to your suppliers site are highly recommended. This increases your linkage popularity which increases your standings in an engine search.
