A brochure style website? Think of your website as your digital brochures. The difference being that a website has many advantages over print brochures. For starters a website is available globally 24x7, it may simply save you a trip across town, or it may help you expand your business interstate or internationally. It's also easy to edit or modify an existing website, which makes it a more permanent medium. A brochure style website makes good business sense in terms of cost effectiveness, global reach to export markets, and ease of updating.

Use plenty of photographs! A picture speaks a thousand words as they say, so round up any existing photos, logos and artwork you may already have. If necessary we will shoot any additional photographs free of charge. These images can be cropped, resized or manipulated in Photoshop, and all the artwork will be returned to you on the backup disk.

Email setup Keydigital recommends you maintain one reliable email account, and to reply to business emails within 48 hours. Your Keydigital website can include additional personalised email address(es) based on your domain name. You should use this address on your signature file, business cards, letter heads and stationery. You can configure your email client to collect these messages direct, or we can set it up so that mail to these new addresses 'forwards' to your existing email address. Either way your existing email account  will still work as normal. 

Get involved! Be prepared to commit your time and effort to collaborate on this project. Your hands on involvement in the project will guide it's progress, and your input will be essential while the site is under construction. Be ready to provide at least five paragraphs of copy for each html page. Make time to participate in progress meetings at your office or at Newington. You can submit feedback as you will preview construction live on the web as the site takes shape.

Advertising Copy You can optionally have Keydigital write or rewrite the text that will be used in your pages. We use a direct, business like style written in plain English, that highlights features and benefits of your goods/services. All you need to do is provide the draft copy. 

Photoshop The great thing about choosing Keydigital is the fact that we design pages to convey your message quickly and graphically - without having to click through dozens of empty pages. We specialise in Photoshop so that any hand made graphic art work that is needed for your site can be all achieved in-house. You may need a customised header, or some special text effects. Maybe a photo has to be resized, cropped or colourised? Although we don't do logos from scratch, we turn out unique custom art work for all our clients. Browse through the samples page to get an idea.

Fool proof navigation You will notice that some Keydigital sites feature a dual navigation system. Visitors to the site can choose to browse the site magazine style by clicking on the 'play' button at the bottom of each page, or navigate 'web' style by choosing the button to go directly to content of most interest. You cannot get lost in a Keydigital web site. Why do we use this system? If a visitor clicks through one page at a time, they are more likely to read the entire site, and will not get disorientated in a navigational hierarchy. 

Hosting $35/month. Our Network Data Center is located in Colorado, USA in a building having multiple redundant OC-48 connections to the Internet. Our connectivity comes from four of the largest tier-1 backbones in existence (including GTE, Sprint, and Cable & Wireless). The facility itself is a secure, air-conditioned, static electricity controlled environment. All servers are housed in secure racks behind 2 locked doors and full security system. They are protected by surge suppression and power management systems to ensure uninterrupted server operations. A professional team monitors the network 24/7/365 to ensure smooth and uninterrupted operation of our systems.

Future Editing If you need to edit or expand your site in the future Keydigital will support you. Existing clients have ongoing unlimited email technical support. Additionally, for $65 per hour, we can implement changes quickly for a fraction of the cost of employing a full time webmaster. You might like to review your site once or twice per year and have any updates done all in the one hit. This service combined with the free email help is the quickest and easiest way to maintain your site in the future. 

Search Engine Optimisation This a process whereby your web pages are modified so as to achieve the best possible rankings in the major search engines. There is no point building the world's most beautiful website if it has no traffic. We use two of the leading software packages to cross check optimisation of your pages. Each of your pages is fine tuned using page analysis software, keywords, meta tags, and external links. The pages are then submitted to all the leading directories such as Google, Yahoo and Alta Vista. Despite all this effort, search engines are still a law unto themselves and do not guarantee to include anyone in their results, therefore it is impossible for Keydigital to do likewise. However, we have a pretty good track record, and in our experience most page ranking improves over months and years like fine wine. On the samples page you will notice that most of the sites can usually be found in one or more of the major search engines simply by typing in the company name. 

Backup You retain full copyright ownership of the website. At the conclusion of the project we send you a backup disk containing all the files that make up your site. This gives you the security of knowing that you retain full control over your material. 

Included: Construction of a custom made, multi-page brochure style website 
Included: Each page features images, text, layout, navigation, and contact info.
Included: Unlimited lifetime webmaster email support (if hosting is with us)
Included: Our websites usually contain hundreds of files, many are hand made in Photoshop

Included: Optimisation of "meta data" and keywords.
Included: Submission to all major international search engines
Included: You retain full copyright ownership of the site, and you keep the backup disk. 

Outsourced webmaster Your goal is to establish long term reliability and co-ordination of your domain/hosting and email configuration. A reliable outsourced webmaster is worth their weight in gold. Reliability is more important than saving a couple of bucks, and keep in mind that all these systems impact on your printing and advertising strategies/costs eg business cards. By taking advantage of Keydigital hosting at only $35/month we keep an eye on all aspects of your site over the long term. You have someone to ring 24x7 for support. This is good value considering we can make small changes and edits to your site each month, and even liaise with your ISP and network administrator as required. It's really like having a webmaster on your team without the massive payroll cost.
