Let's see them. I'm not interested in any scrubby-looking website that looks like it's been thrown together by a 3rd grader with a bunch of crayons. No offense to anyone with a more simple website but I want a well-designed professionally maintaned website, and yes I know they're not cheap.

If you wouldn't mind sharing what the setup/maintenance cost on your website is as well, whether or not you can make any changes yourself or not, that would be very helpful. Thanks:)

Jim Lewis' site comes to mind immediately. That's sort of what I'm looking for. It may not need to be as elaborate and I don't offer the number of services that he does but I like the layout and general feel of his website.

By maintained, I mean I know nothing about computers really and I'd want someone to keep tabs on the site for me. Being able to be found via search engine is also important to me. As I said in another thread, 3 or my last 5 or so calls were people who just used Google and found my business.

[fiveoboy01]

Ok, that one isn't too bad for the price, and somewhat what I'm looking for. I prefer easy to navigate over flashy crap that takes away from the true purpose of the site

Is the 1K the initial setup fee or is that annual?

Hoping some others will chime in with some examples.

[JFGauvreau]

Actually I think mr green site is very professional looking, he might have some "flash crap" like you say but that's the point of a professional site, lots of marketing in it, lots of EASY links to buy his services. And I found it easy to navigate.

[MRMelton]

the 1000 is for the initial setup. I think they have went up to 1200. Then it's like 18/month for hosting. They really helped me with SEO too. And if you don't want to fork out all of the cash they'll let you pay it out over six months at like 3% interest. If anyone uses them let me know so I can get referral fee.

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and it pretty much equates to black magic and dubious advice. :laugh:

Basically, if you ask 100 SEO experts a question you'll get 300 different answers. :dizzy:

Thanks for the compliments on my site. I did it myself from the ground up. From the content management back end to the front end "design" (although I'm no designer). It's really simple to update, add new pages, reorder the links and all that. I'm much happier with it since I wrote it to work the way I needed it to work instead of fighting with someone else's ideas.

I did some minor SEO for local searches and "mowing" plus my zip code shows my site up top. I'm happy with that. I got a couple of calls from the site last week.

boughters...landscaper websites has proven SEO is more than black magic. They didn't charge me any fees to help with this. In fact, the owner set on the phone with me for nearly an hour and spent 30 mins explaing SEO before I had even agreed to use them. While I do agree that nobody can give you google's formulas and break it down to an exact science, having someone that really understands SEO is huge.

Can I help in anyway here guys. Free Info. I am not a genius but i may have your answer.

[dfw-internetmarketing]

Can I help in anyway here guys. Free Info. I am not a genius but i may have your answer.

First thing I can say is know your audience. You have to speak to Google before you can speak to your customers..

Title the page with your location and service offered

Keyword load the article, yes a 200 word article, it should say once your city and service and then again but use your city and synonym of that service.

Dallas Lawn Care or Dallas Lawn Service. Don't try to load the article behind a photo or color it the same as the background so that no body sees it. google sees that as foul play

then you will need to give good titles to all of your photos before you load them up and then also give them some mouse over text as well that say something similar.

You should build a different page for each city and service that you do.


Check out www.yourlawnjockey.com

You would think that all the links on the left of the page are identicle mirrors of each other until you notice there is at least one new photo on each page and a unique article on each page. then you will also notice the titles and tags are all changed for the page.

if you are searching for one of the cities in his area you will find online marketing results for just that cities page. this makes the page very relevent to the local search. Can you say page one for nearly all the cities in his area.

Note the attached blog.

Also notice rank on google in local area

[mdvaden]

Can I help in anyway here guys. Free Info. I am not a genius but i may have your answer.

That may or may not be true.

Aside from text and tags for search engines, one can just as easily speak to their potential and existing customers. It all depends on how they want to use the website.

In markets saturated with near identical services, it can be more of a roll of the dice as to who gets on the first page of Google. And some companies may choose to simply have a website for reference, written on their advertising.

In that case, they can write whatever they want to communicate to readers, with little regard for Google.

As long as the correct URL is typed in, Google is going to interpret it flawless.

Time itself may be the one thing that really shows who is the bigger audience, as some markets get saturated, and others don't.

A saturated market can start to become like the contest where business cards are dropped in a fish bowl for a free lunch drawing. The more cards in the bowl, the less chance of getting picked. And it wouldn't matter how good the business card was.

Google Adwords is changing similarly too, in that its getting a bit saturated in some of the big cities and suburbs.

Mine was done by a company called Liquid Data.
http://www.liquiddatafl.com/
Be sure to tell them I referred you.

[toddfetters]

Make sure whoever you use for your website that you get ALL of the details on where it is hosted, the original domain registrar, and what type of program was used to design your website.

I had some real issues when we had someone take over our website from the original designer and it ended up costing extra $$$ because of this. I would highly recommend you get at least 3 referrals if not more.

You will find prices all over the board. There is no consistency and makes it very hard to make a decision. In most cases, the cheapest one isn't always the best as the graphics could look subpar. The other thing to keep in mind is that some websites load very slow because of how they were written. Keep this in mind as some people don't have fast internet connections.

I would also HIGHLY recommend a way to capture email addresses. It is absolutely becoming an essential part of marketing your business and the cost is nearly free. It is a great way to stay in touch with both current and potential customers.

Hope this helps!

[mdvaden]

Personally, I don't like capturing emails, and prefer not to spam folks with emails.

If my work is good enough for them, they know where I'm at.

The last thing I want is email that I don't essentially need from people. I'm guessing that a lot of folks don't need it from me. And I don't want to find out which ones like it and which don't.

I think a company can loose people by spamming them with emails that were "captured" and they may be lost without ever ascertaining the reason.

The best way around the spamming, would be to offer a useful newsletter than people can find and voluntarily request on their own accord. Then its certain they want the contact.

[toddfetters]

I totally agree with you sending unsolicitated emails. You are spot on though to offer a free newsletter on the home page of your website. I have had a couple of customers contact me months later because they lost my proposal and were glad that I did send out the occassional email. None of my emails went out just blindly.

Everything I had in mind on this site was not for the looks or approvals. I kept nothing but SEO in mind. Flashing Plug ins were used to keep looker awake and that's how I got average visit at 5 minutes.

Most of the page looks pretty good, so the tiny faded photos at the bottom right about more recent work seem out of place.

The header looks much better for presentation. But then the recent work thumbnails of stuff like fast food hedge shearing don't really pop out.

One because the photos look faded. But second, because a sheared globe or Japanese maple with a sheared skirt of foliage just doesn't cry-out "awesome pruning".

Maybe cull the rotating photos. Or, redo them picking the best ones and editing some for color and sharpness.

The first two, because of the time issue, and the last, because people do not want to get busted surfing the web at work.

[walker-talker]

Another thing I noticed that most websites don't have(including my own) is a "call to action". Your website is very similar to direct mail. When the customer get there and see it, give them something to do immediately...whether it's checking out mowing specials, getting an estimate or signing up for a newsletter.

Kirk, I had a similar website through Gopher for many years, until recently. It actually looks pretty nice. One thing I would do different would be to create as many pages possible. CONTENT IS KING!!! Seperate pages for each service is a good start.

Hey Andy,

I really like your "message from Andy." It personalizes the site - just like you want to develop relationships with clients, not just 'cut the grass.'

Along those lines, you might consider changing "to ensure that the client is happy" to "to ensure that you are happy" in the body of the letter. That would also keep the sense consistent.

Just a thought.

i dunno man, i like looking at pics and when i saw i needed to download a program i will never use again except to see your pics i didnt do it. i would imagine a good percentage of people wont download a lame program just to see some pics. i dont see why you cant just add the pics to your website like everyone else so people dont have to download useless programs.

Majority of all websites nowadays require silverlight to see the content. It's not some extravagant software. It's an add-on that i guarantee you will end up using again. because like I said, majority of sites require this to view it....on the other hand, i have changed it to a slide show format. I just dont like that some pictures or smaller than others. They were taken with differnet cameras or devices so the resolutions or differnet.

You probably want to get your web person to jump on the front page editing.

Nothing huge, but several things are there.

You have a comma out of whack in a heading line.

License is spelled wrong in your Flash slide show.

You need a space after humans.

I think that touch-up is supposed to be hyphenated.

"Porfolio" is probably not a real word.

After the Copyright line, the upper and lower case look inconsistent.

Did you want "puget sound" in lower case? It's a name.

Didn't read the other pages. Just the home page. Remember, if you are the "gets the job done right the first time" company, you need to have that home page squared away and done right.

It's a lot of text though. Big page. A lot to keep track of. On the other hand, its just one page.
