Enhancing Your Web Presence

Do you have a site you need modifed, or do you need one created? We can help you in the following ways:

Creating a new site, from getting the name through designing and publishing it on the web
Modifying your existing site
Enhancing the web visibility of your site

Create a Professional Web Page:

A simple webpage can give you a full page or more of pictures and information about your business. You send us the text and pictures as you would like them included.

We can design a web site for you. The charges are:

Single page, containing supplied text (up to 1,000 words), links (up to 6) and graphics (up to 6) only, $100
Each additional page, containing supplied text, links, and graphics only as per above; linked to home or other page without navigation bar, $75
Each additional page, containing supplied text, links, and graphics only as per above; linked to home or other page with navigation bar, $100
We can help you to set up your own domain and web hosting. Contact us about rates.
We can help you with web optimizing, or to enhance the look of your current website. Contact us about rates.

There are four sample webpages shown here that all are based on our advertiser, 27 Blake Street. You can have your website in any of these formats for no additional set-up fee. Feel free to click on any of the graphics to see a blow-up of the page.

We do not charge a maintenance fee for our web design. So if we are creating or modifying your site, you only pay for the actual time we spend doing something for you.

We can do this work for you on an existing website, or we can help you create a new one from scratch. We can also help you design a strategy to get your site better known in Western North Carolina.

Or how about something a little different? If you are an artist, a real estate agent, a home maintenance person, or anyone else who would like to show off your good works for sale, how about our special photo page? For $140 for six pictures, or $180 for nine, you can have smaller images that are magnified in the larger box when somebody mouses over them. Totally cool!

Now suppose that you know that you want your site to look fresh from month to month, but you don't really have the time to do anything about it, much less get in and change the site yourself? Check out Lee's special website freshening service.

Note: should you sign up for Paypal payments below, you should know that web design charges go to a different Paypal account (lee@leelehman.com) than do all the other charges on this page (info@sheville.org).

If You already have a web site:

Great! Now how does a potential customer find it?

The process of helping people to find you is called either search engine optimizing, or simply, web optimizing. How does it work? Here are some of the things that search engines use to evaluate a site:

How long has a site been up? Search engines don't tend to reward new sites, which could be transitory. Sheville.org has been up since 2000.
How does the site describe itself? Within the web language of html, there are several ways to alert the search engines to the topics that are on the site. However, the search engines may not entirely believe these lists, because so many people have tried to add words that are actually irrelevant to the site. Sheville.org® has a broad variety of articles about Western North Carolina, and that means that there are a lot of words that really do describe what we have on board.
Words! Words! Words! A search engine doesn't care what graphics you have. A search engine can only evaluate text. With over 400 articles and many more listings and links, Sheville.org® has the words! There are a lot of ways people can find Sheville, and if they can find us, they can find you - if you advertise with us!
Links into your site. Search engines don't care how many sites you link to: they care about how many sites link to you! And they care about what those links say to describe you. We ask our advertisers to link to us, just as we link to them - both parties benefit!

So the bottom line: if you don't want to spend all your time figuring out how to get traffic to your site, let us help you! Our work on optimizing Sheville.org® helps you - if you join us!
