Domain Name Registration and Transfers
We can assist you with registering a new domain name, transferring your domain name in order to move your new or existing web site to a new host provider, or forwarding your domain name. We understand the intricacies in dealing with domain names and how they integrate with email and web site hosting. We ensure that your domain name is registered in your name so that you have full control of it.
Transferring Existing Sites to a New Host Service Provider
A web site is a collection of files residing on a server somewhere on the Internet. We recommend that web sites not be hosted on servers on your own network infrastructure to maximize protection of your business operations. We work with a business to recommend the best web hosting provider for your particular needs, such as Go Daddy and other providers who are established, proven providers.
Upgrading An Existing Web Site
Web sites are constantly in need of updating with content and design. As your company grows, your web site should reflect your latest offerings. When updating an existing site, our initial meeting with you is to determine the look and feel that you want for your site. Elements of updating a site include a set number of options of the design, layout and navigation. Once approved, these elements are created, reviewed, changed, and approved until the final design, layout and navigation is approved. At this point, the page content can be inserted.
Developing a New Site
The process for developing a new site is not much different than upgrading an existing web site. The only difference is that there is no site to update. We will meet with you to determine the look and feel and go from there.
Developing and/or Integrating a Database
Businesses with products find that they can increase their reach and improve customer service by integrating products into their website. In these cases, ERGOS can develop and integrate the database of products into your site and add ecommerce capabilities whether you want online real-time transactions or you want to use email for inquiries.
Search Engine Optimization
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a changing process so that webmasters will not manipulate the search. ERGOS studies the latest approved processes and ensures that we use the latest techniques for approved SEO. If a top search engine such as Google determines that a website is using manipulative and unapproved tactics, that website could be banned from the search engine. The goal for SEO is to have a site be listed near or the top when someone is searching for what the site is offering.
Site Updating
Once a web site is developed, there are invariably changes that need to be made whether it's adding new products, services, changes in personnel, etc. ERGOS can provide the updates or can create a module where the business does the updates themselves. This process can be determined at the initial meeting.
Now that you have a dynamically database driven website, you need an easy way to quickly update the content yourself. Here is where we can design and develop a custom content management system specifically based on your needs and requirements. Our Content Management System helps to get you started since it allows you to protect any area of your web site, and then custom modules can be incorporated to complete the system.
