Search Engine
Around Kitchener Waterloo develops all its sites with search engine placement in mind, during the development process we make sure to utilize key words that are specific to your business so once the site is done, we can easily go back and setup all your meta information, we also add your robots.txt file and your sitemap.xml in certain cases we will add you to our webmaster tools and monitor your site for issues.
The Website Process
MEETINGS – if you are having a large intricate website build we may have more than one meeting, they will be as required… but the majority of correspondence will be through email with one point person from your company sending content and edits.
If you are having a small uncomplicated website built, we will have our initial meeting, then all correspondence is through email all additional meetings will be billed on top of the quote on an hourly basis. Special circumstances may apply.
CONTENT – All website content including images are to be send via email in electronic text format, acceptable image formats are .jpg, .png, .gif, .tiff, .psd, .bmp, .ai
LOOK – We will work with you on the look of your site, giving you the most options possible, using the latest design trends, thus giving you a website that packs a punch and is visible globally.
Once the site is finished we will work with you on the signed off site and edit the existing content for an additional month to get the site exactly how you like it, we understand sometimes something looks good then you look at it a few more times and it may require tweaking.
NOTE – After the month is over web site maintenance fees will kick in for any additional changes. This means if you have edits to be done to your site on a monthly, daily or weekly basis there is either an hourly charge divided into 5 minute increments or you can sign up for one of our maintenance contracts.
