We believe in keeping things simple, but not simplistic. Less can be more, and a small business site does not need to be loud, flashy, or cost thousands of dollars in order for it to enhance your business. However, we understand that when it comes to a Website, much depends on your content and purpose. ZenfulWebDesigns.com provides professional Web design services to home office, small business and personal Websites. We work with your vision so that your site will be as unique as you are!
Our desire is to provide you with a custom designed Website that's one in a million, not one of a million. We fit your needs, your audience, and your budget. Whether you're looking to redesign your current site or build a new one from the ground up, let our team of experts help you to make this part of your business plan go as smoothly and effortlessly as possible.
Do you need a Website?
Only if... you provide a service, or sell a product, or your competitors have a Website, or you want more customers.
"If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur. " -- Red Adair
In addition to web design, we also offer the following services . . .
The Website Maintenance Packages are on a simple month-to-month basis; No long term contracts to sign. At the end of the 30 day period you are not obligated to sign up for another package. This means that you only pay when you are ready to have work done on your site. Your month begins when you select your package and ends 30 days later.
The benefit of selecting a maintenance package is that our hourly rate for Un-contracted maintenance is $90.00/hour, but with the maintenance packages that rate is greatly discounted. In addition, contracted maintenance is typically completed within 24-48 hours.; Contact us for further information. Or, if you're reading to make a few updates to your site now, or need your site to be optimized for the search engines, you can order your maintenance package right here, right now!
A complete marketing package ...
Often times small business owners will know they want a Website (either because their competitors have one, or because they want more business), yet they don't really know how to get what they want without spending too-many-weeks to get it. We are here to help you simplify the process, without going over your budget. Our forté is, of course, designing and launching Websites. However, we can also easily help you put together a complete marketing package for your business:
- Newsletters (email and/or print)
- Brochures
- Company Logo
- Media Packages
- Customer Retention Systems, and more.
Newsletter Setup: HTML-based email newsletter. We use Constant Contact for our newsletter setup, which is an "opt in" eNewsletter, and can either custom design the template to match your Website (additional charge), or use one of their ready-made templates (standard fee). Prices include installing the subscription box on your Website and setting up the welcome letter to your subscribers. Note: If you will be sending out a newsletter, this should be decided upon at the start of the planning session so that space can be provided for in the Web design. Additional charges will be applied if we install the subscription box on all pages of your Website after the final design approval. Cost for installing subscription boxes on existing Websites depends on how many pages we will need to redesign and/or code.
Cost includes training in the mechanics of your email newsletter program. You will be shown how to access your email administration area, set up your newsletter and send out your email. We can also set up a print Newsletter for you.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Meta-tags: Included with all new Web designs. Cost for SEO on an existing Website depends on the scope of the project.
Will we "submit your site to hundreds of search engines every week?" In a word; No. You don't need to be submitted to hundreds of search engines; Especially the dozens no one has ever heard of, or ever used. Or worse yet, end up having top rankings in the porn engines. You only need the ones that matter such as Google, Yahoo, MSN and ASK. Once your site is indexed by the search engines, it stays there. You don't need to keep resubmitting. Of course, it may float around as algorithms change, but it isn't going to fall out of the index. We don't try to play games with the search engines, and we know what it takes to get rankings the honest way.
In addition to making sure all meta tags and keywords are in their proper place, and used to your best advantage, analytics can be set up on each page so that you can track your top content, top keywords and phrases, geographical location of your visitors, your ad campaigns, and more.
Setup costs: $250. This includes installing the blog, designing the template to match your Website, and one hour of instruction on how to use your blog. We can set up the blog for you, and change the design of the existing template. However we do not offer any technical support for the blog software.
Blogs can also be used as a Content Management System, such as was done with Health Crunchies.
A word about Flash Sites ...
Flash and multimedia development is time consuming and costly. If you feel this is essential to your site, we can do it. An estimated cost for a professionally designed custom Flash/Multimedia site can run from $3,500 to $40,000 (and more!), and take anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months to complete. Once done, Flash sites are not easy to maintain, or update... especially if the original designer is no longer available. This estimated cost does not include the HTML and CSS part of your site, or any other graphics and scripts that need to be done.
As opposed to having the entire site designed in Flash (which is not WAI compliant), an option would be to have a few Flash elements on your site; Photo Gallery, Sideshow, floating/moving text, or a text scroll box (such as the one on the Terms & Conditions page).
Do you have an audio file that needs some post-production editing? We can remove background noise, edit out any unnecessary chit-chat, adjust the volume, change the pitch of your voice, and repair most damage done during recording. However, since this is "post-production" work, we can't make any guarantees that it will be perfect... just that it will be a lot better!
