| In addition to web site design, development,
and hosting, we also offer the following services:
Domain
Name Registration A domain name is the name which
appears in a URL such as: www.yourdomainname.com. In order to obtain
a domain name it is necessary to search for available names and
once selected, to register the name with the www registration authority
called InterNIC.
Initial registration is valid for a period of 1 to 10 years. ILThost.com
will conduct searches for available names and register your name
with InterNIC. We will also keep track of your registration and
notify you regarding the need to renew. While we do not charge to
process the registration, there is a registration fee associated
with any domain name (similar to registering your driver's license).
ILThost.com charges only $25 per year for domain name registrations,
which is a significant savings from the $35 per year charged by
Network Solutions, who had been the only means to register a domain.
Available domain name extensions include: .com, .net, .org, .us,
.biz, .info, .name, and others. Click here
to register your domain today!
Search
Engine Optimization Registration
Once you have a web site, you will want maximum exposure to attract
an audience. After all, a site is not much good if nobody knows
it exists. ILT can submit the URLs of your web site to all of the
appropriate search engines to ensure that when someone searches
for information on a service you provide, your organization's name
will appear in the search results. This will help maximize the traffic
your site receives.
All sites designed by ILT are done with search engine optimization
in mind. This means that we carefully incorporate the "rules"
each search engine has for increasing placement based on key words
and other factors. Some sites focus solely on design (but the site
doesn't get very good ranking in the search engine results) or on
search engine placement (but the site looks aweful). ILT
combines both facets to make a visually appealing site that uses
all the "rules" and gets great search engine placement.
While no one can guarantee the position your listing will appear,
we have been very successful in our search engine placement strategies
and have obtained NUMBER ONE ranking for many of our clients.
We take care to ensure that the site is optimized before submitting
the site with search engines. Our submissions are done by hand rather
than by automatic submission. This will ensure that appropriate
keywords get listed in order to maximize the benefit of submission
of your URL to search engines. While there are "free"
submit programs on the internet, don't be fooled into thinking they
will have an impact on driving traffic to your site. They won't.
Let the professionals at ILT handle this important task for
you and watch the traffic take off.
Copy
Writing Copy Writing is a very important aspect
of web site design. Many design firms take this skill for granted.
At ILT, however, we know that good copy requires time, research,
and patience. Some clients do not have the time or the knowledge
to create the content that goes into a good web site. We are experienced
writers with the knowledge and skills to write easy flowing, clean,
effective copy.
Technical
Writing Our staff consists of experienced technical
writers. We can author material from scratch or convert technical
manuals into user friendly documents.
Web
Site Maintenance Once you have a web site, it takes
TLC to keep it current and functioning. Links to external web sites
often change causing a broken link within your site. We can check
all links (internal and external) on a daily or weekly basis and
fix any problems before anyone sees them. Updats also include any
changes to basic information on your site uch as a new address,
phone number, or office hours. Realtor sites often need updates
for property listings and photos.
Don't waste your time trying to use web editors to do it yourself,
let ILThost.com handle that for you. We offer a variety of maintenance
packages to meet your individual needs. Call for details!
Web
Site "Face Lifts" If you already have
a web site but are not happy with the look and feel of the site,
ILT can re-design the site for maximum effectiveness. There are
occasions when someone launches a sign in the most expedient or
least expensive manner and then realize that the site is missing
something. ILT can fix this problem by giving your site a face lift.
We can make minor modifications such as adding some special effects
or we can do a complete makeover redesigning the site architecture
and theme of the site while keeping the same basic site information.
Web
Site Analysis If you already have a web site, is
it effective? Are you receiving the traffic you had anticipated?
Are you unsure if it is design for the maximum benefit for your
organization? ILT will analyze your site for aesthetics, navigation,
user friendliness, content, control, and other factors to help you
determine if modifications might be beneficial. A written analysis
will be submitted with suggestions for improvement.
ILT can also survey and analyze competitor's web sites and provide
a comparison to your site.
On-line
course development
The staff of ILT are experience in all aspects of instructional
design and on-line learning. If your site would benefit from some
type of training program, small or large, ILT can create a customized
program to meet your needs. Our latest online course is on using
census' when researching your ancestors for the National
Genealogical Society.
