This is one of the most commonly asked questions our web sales department processes, and we figured we would address it here.  As potential clients call in (typically in information-gathering mode) many are unsure of the technical parts and processes involved in getting a website online.  Typically a web service will do all of these parts to make a site work and function properly, saving the client time, confusion, and headache.  There are volumes of information on how to drive traffic, build reputable content and market your site on the web, but you need to have an outline or a preliminary understanding of what’s going on before getting into all that.
Today’s focus is on what Atalanta Web Design includes in it’s web packages.  Other companies may arrange, present or format it’s billing differently, so it’s essential to know what to look for when shopping around.  Any aspect of this can be explained at greater detail, so do not hesitate to contact us if further information is needed.

• Technical Support and Customer Service

This is the common situation of a large number of website owners out there.

You have a website, and it hasn’t been updated in over a year.  No technically knowledgeable webmaster is there to maintain and oversee the file management.  We provide this web maintenance service for a majority of our clients.  Making sure the server is performing optimally, search engines are reading (“spidering”) your site, making those routine site edits – these are all important – for most businesses, critical – jobs that need to be done for your overall success.
