Dear AWD: 
You offer both “Maintenance Plans” and “Marketing Plans” for web sites.  Can you tell me what the difference is?

Dear Curious:
Our “Web Site Maintenance Plan” is for clients who want a professional web programmer to make changes to the wording of their site, create and add new HTML pages with the same global “look and feel” as the rest of the site, scan in images, optimize images and add them to the site, check for and repair broken links, and test and upload new pages to the web server as needed. 

If your web site has a Content Management System (CMS) you don’t need a maintenance plan because you can do most of these tasks yourself, although some busy clients still prefer to hire a pro to do it.  We offer both options.

The purpose of our “Internet Marketing Plan” is to bring high quality traffic (visitors) to your web site.  The plan is extensive and can be tailored to our client specific needs.  It usually includes a combination of organic search engine optimization and pay per click ads, and professionally written press releases featured on major Internet news sites.  Clients receive a detailed ranking report, personalized report analysis and monitoring.

Please contact us for a detailed proposal on either of these services (maintenance or marketing).
