Understand the terminologyweb design package glossary
Geez... I didn't know there would be homework.
Designed Pages
Each website package includes a variety of pages: home, about us, products, services, 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 will always be content, content and content. Larger, more informative sites with lots of unique information generally rank better than sites without much information.
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 SEO are done incorrectly, it can sometimes do more harm than good.
Dynamic Elements
You've certainly seen these types of items on websites you've visited. They include such things as banners with rotating/fading photos, sliding panels, information bubbles that appear when the mouse rolls over etc... You can think of most interactive features as being dynamic elements.
Responsive Layout
With responsive design, your website flexes and changes to fit within the width of the screen so no matter what size screen you have on your desktop, tablet or mobile device, there’s no side to side scrolling. You'll still have to scroll down to see everything on the page but responsive design definitely improves the usability of your site and gives the user the best experience possible.
Project/Photo Gallery
Many businesses can benefit from a gallery. You may want to show completed work or '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.
Package Hours
Package hours are broken down into three segments: design, SEO & copywriting services.
1. Design Hours
These hours include the actual design time for your website. This includes many items, such as laying out the page, designing the graphics, writing the code, setting up databases, testing the site in all the browsers, etc..
2. SEO Hours
Your package includes initial search engine optimization. This includes keyword research to find the best keyword phrases potential customers are using to find your products and services. For more about SEO, please visit our search engine optimization page.
3. Copywriting Hours
This is perhaps the most critical for success in search engine ranking and increasing web traffic to your site. 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.
Blog Setup
Blogs are terrific for search engine optimization. Any business can write blog posts showcasing their expertise in their field. The caveat is that it takes time to write posts so you need to make a serious time commitment if you want the maximum benefits from your blog.
If you prefer, Sleepy Dog Media Group offers complete blog management in most of our web maintenance packages. With this service, we write the posts and manage the blog for you (you only need to review the posts prior to publishing).
Initial SEO
During the design process, your website will be optimized for a specific set of keywords and phrases as well as your specific geographical target area. 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 this is only the initial search engine optimization.
For the best rankings (and to hold onto 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 content updates, our maintenance packages include building inbound links and inbound marketing methods to attract qualified buyers to your website. These are both important elements for ranking success.
