Designed Pages

Each website package includes a variety of pages: home, about us, products, services, maps, galleries, contact form, etc...

 

How many you need will depend on your products/services. If you offer a large number of services, you'll want to have a separate page for each service to maximize your visibility in search results.

 

The key to great rankings is and most certainly will always be content, content and content. Larger, more informative sites with lots of unique information generally rank better than sites without much information.

Package Hours

Package hours are broken down into three segments. The design, SEO & copywriting services.

 

Design Hours

These hours include the actual design time for your website. (laying out the page, designing the graphics, writing the code, setting up databases, testing the site in all the browsers, etc..)

 

SEO Hours

Your package includes search engine optimization. With this is keyword research to find the best words and phrases your potential customers are using to find your product/service. For more about SEO please visit our Seattle search engine optimization page.

 

Copywriting Hours

This is perhaps the most critical for search rankings success. Our professional copywriters know how to write for the humans visiting your site as well as the best methods for writing the copy to achieve better rankings in the search results.

 

 

 

Writing Copy

From a search engine point of view, this is the most important part of your website. Without good relevant information on your website, it will be very difficult to rank for your desired searches. Careful attention is paid to what people are actually looking for when visiting your website.

 

Many people wrongly assume you can simply list your keyword hundreds of times on a page and you will magically appear for that phrase. Nothing could be further from the truth. If the copy and the search engine optimization are done incorrectly, it can sometimes do more harm than good.

Blog Setup

Blogs are terrific for search engine optimization. Any business can post numerous articles showing their expertise in their field. The caveat is that it takes time to post on a regular basis so it does take a serious commitment if you want the maximum benefit a blog can provide.

 

If you prefer, Sleepy Dog Media Group offers complete blog management. With this service, you simply give us a list of topics and we write the posts and manage the blog for you.

Domain Name

Each package includes a domain registration of 1-5 years for free. If you have an existing domain name, we will simply extend the registration period for you.

 

Did you know that a longer registration length will have a positive impact on your website's ranking?

Initial SEO

During the design process, your website will be optimized for a specific set of keywords and phrases as well as your specific geographic target. You may need only a few pages optimized or your whole site may need to be optimized for the best visibility. It's important to note that this is only the initial search engine optimization.

 

For the best rankings (& to hold those rankings), an ongoing search engine optimization program is highly recommended. Sleepy Dog Media offers a variety of monthly website maintenance plans. In addition to consistent content updates, our maintenance package include building inbound links. These are a very important part of your site's success in ranking well.

Project/Photo Gallery

Many businesses can benefit from a gallery. You may want to show completed work or perhaps before and after photos. You may include descriptions of each project as well. The web is certainly a visual medium so the more pictures, the better.

Dynamic Elements

You've certainly seen these types of items on websites you've visited. They include such as things as banners with rotating/fading photos, sliding panels, information bubbles that appear when the mouse rolls over etc... You can think of most all interactive features as dynamic elements.
