Merchant Account Set Up Services

SSL Certificates

For almost all small/medium websites that need security for protection of their customers, whether for payment processing or simply to protect the information you gather from them, or share with them through your website, an SSL Certificate is needed. There are a huge number of product offerings by a huge number of companies, and frankly it is very confusing. Our developers have given training courses on cryptographic messaging systems over the internet, certificate management, and with that experience has determined that the best value out there is the QuickSSL Premium Certificate offered with GeoTrust. Because of our work with GeoTrust, through us you can get this certificate for $200.00, a $100.00 savings from their retail price currently.

Everyone has different web presence and marketing needs, we will interview you and help you decide which are the best tools to market your business online. We are experienced with custom design WordPress templates, CakePHP web site developement, and social media marketing.

What do you feel about full FLASH web site?

We strive to make sure every web site we design is search engine optimized and search engine friendly. FLASH based web site could be cool, but it will be difficult for end user to find them on the search engine unless major marketing and optimization is applied. But the content is not searchable. Unless you are in the entertainment business, we do not recommend building a full FLASH web site. But some FLASH animation within the site will give motion and visual interest when used wisely.

How many concepts will see for my web site?

During the concept design phase, Jacq will supply one (1) design concept to build from. This is designed after extensive research of your industry, competitor, and based on the information you provide us to ensure the direction we are taking is the right one. From this initial concept design/layout, you will have the opportunity to revise several times.
