A. Keane Design: WEB SERVICES

If you don't have a website already...well, honestly, we don't quite know what to SAY other than WHY THE HECK NOT?  With each day that passes you're losing leads and sales and business...ACK!  You may counter that you're too 'small' or that you aren't selling online or that you aren't into the Googles and the Internets so a website isn't necessary...but believe us, IT IS!  Even if you have a single page with your basic contact and business information, it gives folks one more way to FIND YOU.  More and more people turn to the web for all their informational needs every day...searching for doctors, lawyers, stores, plumbers, realtors...pretty much darn near anything and everything.  They may still find you listed in an online phone book or another directory...but when they see two listings and only one of them has a website...guess who they're going to choose?

If you DO have a website, good for you!  If you think it needs a change, the addition of a shopping cart, a blog, or better rankings we're here and ready to get to work for you, too.  We can take what you have and rework it, or start from scratch.  And we can probably find you a better host and save you some money in the process.

We know that some website design companies will promise you the moon and stars..instead they deliver a pile of steaming gunk and THEN won't return your calls...or your money!  A. Keane Design is NOT your ordinary website creation service...we don't use templates that make your site look just like every other one the company has made but for some color changes.  We ask YOU what YOU would like your site to do and design it FROM SCRATCH to your specifications.  We stick with simple solutions that will work cross platform so your visitors won't scratch their heads and say 'wow, that movie was kinda cool but what do these people DO?'.  And, best of all, we know our limitations and will let you know at the start if we don't think we can meet your needs.  We'll also provide you with a REALISTIC timeframe for the completion of your project and stick to the deadline we both agree on.  Anyone who tells you they can make you a super dee duper site with a shopping cart and 50 pages in two days just isn't telling the truth.  If we think it's going to take two months, we'll tell you.  And if you can't wait for us, we understand if you decide to use someone else.  But do know that our work is well worth the wait!

ALL WEBSITE DESIGNS ARE PROVIDED FOR YOU IN UPLOAD READY FORMAT, YOU GET TO DECIDE WHERE TO HOST THEM!

WEBSITES

Need a website created from scratch?  Want your existing website refreshed?  Want to add features?  Let us take the burden off your shoulders!  From a simple one page site such as this to a complex 100 pager with a shopping cart...we'll work with you hand in hand until it's just as you like it.  We can even help you get your domain name and find a website host!  See some samples of our current design work at www.dorothybiddle.com, www.dbsretail.com and www.wallenpaupacklakeregion.com.

BLOGS

A blog is an excellent way to keep your site near the top of search engines.  Since the search bots comb for new data, if you update your blog daily you'll be tagged as having new content.  Plus, it's FUN.  And, once we set you up, it's as easy as using a word processing program or emailing.  Visit The Biddle Blog and Wallenpaupack & Pocono Mountain Real Estate if you'd like examples.

ONLINE SALES

Selling online can be a huge hassle if you're working with someone who won't return your calls or make the changes you need within a reasonable amount of time...yet they're still happy to take your money!  We've found a few great inexpensive ways to sell online with minimal effort on your part, including using Ebay and Froogle as a springboard to drive traffic to your site.   It's all much easier if you accept credit cards, but if you don't there's always PayPal.  We'll be happy to get you setup with a storefront that won't break your budget!  Here's one we've done that's 'bare bones' but brings in some nice cash, and the monthly hosting INCLUDING your entire website, a blog, and much more is $30:  DBS Retail Site.

SEO COPY

You might not even know what this means...that's why we're here.  SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and is a fancy way of saying 'writing website copy so Google can easily find you and you rank higher'.  We've been doing SEO copy for sites here in the US and some in the UK for four years or so, with first or second page rankings for sites on the three major search engines.  What can we do for YOU?
