How To Get
Started with your customized website ?
JTZ Enterprise prides itself on client service and unique
website designs. When you are ready for us to help you and your
business with your Internet presence contact us by phone or
e-mail to discuss available options. We deal with every client
on a one on one basis and will personally visit those clients
within Virginia and neighboring states.
Every website must have a purpose. Our first goal is to define
that purpose and to learn from you, the client, what you want to
get out of a website. For some the website might be a way to
seek new clients while for others it might be used to better
communicate with existing clients and many sites are intended to
do a little of both. We will work with you to determine the best
ways for your website to work for you. For us to get started
with the website design we then play the game, 20 Questions.
Actually it is a few more than that but we have a list of
answers we get from you to determine the look and style and page
list that will be the makeup of your domain. It is at this time
that we get all necessary photos of the business and staff,
examples of other forms of advertising you are utilizing, copies
of business cards, letterheads, company logos, slogans and any
other items that define your business image. We do not want to
recreate your image, we want to duplicate the one you already
have and put it on the web. If you are a brand new business we
can help define your image but chances are you have already gone
a long way towards that by the time you hang up a road sign and
open the doors for business.
We then deliver all those answers and materials to our team of
designers and the creation phase begins. To get started we have
an annual agreement that spells out what you should expect from
us including hosting, domain registration, design, search engine
optimization and registration, e-mail boxes, and cost. We will
register your domain name if you have not already done so and we
will arrange transfer of your domain to our servers if you have
an existing domain. We typically receive a deposit for the first
year’s agreement and the balance is not due until you can say,
“This is exactly what I was looking for in a website!” Once we
get a new project in front of one of our designers we typically
have a home page for you to review in less than a week. When the
first page is complete we come to you for approval. You have
complete control over the direction our designers move when
creating your site. Most clients are blown away by what they see
from the beginning but our designers do have thick skin. If you
see something that needs to be changed or re-worked, we get
those suggestions from you and go back to the designer to work
towards obtaining the Internet image you want for your business.
Once you approve the Home page we move on to the other pages of
the site asking for your approval and input every step of the
way. It typically takes us 2-3 weeks to complete the design
phase of a website. We have heard others can do it in much less
time but we are proud of the fact that no two of our websites
are alike. We do not ‘cookie cut’ websites nor do we use
templates. No two businesses look alike so why should their
websites?
Once the design of the website is complete we will again visit
or contact the business to provide training on how to edit
inventory, retrieve orders or applications, receive payments,
set up e-mail boxes and give instructions on the seven counters
available to our clients. We offer the client full service and
support from beginning to end and all through out the annual
agreement term.
When the site is completely up and running we then send an
invoice for the balance. Once that is received we then begin the
final stage of development, search engine optimization and
website optimization. This is often the most overlooked step for
many site owners and can greatly reduce the number of visitors
that make it to your website. Our competition either does not
know how to perform this step or charges extra for it. We
recognize this as the most important part of creating a website
and provide it for all our clients. We imbed into every page of
your site those keywords and phrases most used by your clients
to find your site when looking for you, your product, or your
services at a search engine such as Google, Yahoo and many, many
more. Once the optimization is performed we then contact all of
the top search engines and many of the others and register your
site. This way the next time one of your clients is searching
for you or your business these search engines will know to
provide a link back to your site thereby driving relevant
traffic to your website.
Even after all these steps are complete, JTZ Enterprise is still
working for you! When you have updates to make to your site such
as a change in hours, staff, color schemes, etc. we handle those
requests for you free of charge. We do not have any additional
or hidden fees or charges for updates you request unless you are
adding functionality to the site (i.e. adding a shopping cart or
secure page, for example). Your business changes often and it is
our responsibility to keep your website up to date with your
business.
If you are ready to get started with a professional, effective
website for your business, begin by playing the 20 Questions
game below. This form contains most of the questions we ask of
all new clients. Once we receive it our office will begin
generating a designer packet for your website and contact you to
review all options and cost. We look forward to working with you
in creating and hosting your website today!
