“…A skilled, professional webmaster managing my website. I don’t have to provide employee benefits, health insurance, nor is he on the payroll. (He’s even a tax write-off!) I may have found the outsourcing secret oasis of success!!”

If you have a website and are actively marketing it, READ ON!!!!

Send documents, text, images and other media to your webmaster, and know that it will be updated in a timely manner.

Reduce and eliminate issues with optimization, page loading, 404 errors (broken links), and browser incompatibilities.

Stay updated with the latest web coding and technologies.

Keep website running smooth BEFORE something goes wrong. (Preventive Maintenance)

The difference between having “nobody” vs. an active webmaster will be seen directly in profits and customer relations.

Web page edits, image additions, and all technical files stay managed RIGHT!

No matter your product or service… With a dedicated webmaster service contract you’ll quickly see the benefits… This is your powerful window to the web… Your web marketing efforts will SOAR!

Ross Bowring“I could not believe this guy was able to manage so many aspects of web service… He does it all!”

I had worked with Scott Allard on a copy editing project a few months back. Now I’m not into all that technical web coding, hosting, and ajax/javascript nonsense, but what Scott showed me made me see the value of having a good web designer who knows what he’s doing.

Samples of work and an extensive design library was shown to me, which serve as templates for websites of all sorts of industries, businesses and organizations – he definitely is up to date in the methods and standards of delivering premium web services to his large customer base.

On seeing his portfolio, I knew Scott was the real deal.

He’s been delivering and perfecting top-shelf web services for 15 years. That says something. If his heart and soul is not into this, he would have quit years ago! The investment into support and expertise is there, more than other companies providing similar services.

Dear Frustrated Website Owner,

Helpless.

That’s how you feel when you cannot update your website.

Your hands are tied and you ask… why is this so difficult!?

8 hours of trying to make an update myself. Boy, I made a BIG mistake this time!…

The big “secret” that many businesses are NOT doing, is outsourcing this extremely important job…

They had a website put together – years ago – and never looked at it since.

Or maybe the need was being filled at one time by someone, and through time and events, they can do it no longer.

Read through my website to find out about the extensive services I have done for a wide range of companies and organizations.

Fill out my contact form and learn the benefits of having a webmaster on-call. Most common edits are performed within a 24-48 hour turnaround.


A knowledgeable, progressive webmaster on-call to support, maintain, and host our corporate website…

We’ve been with Atalanta Web Design for over a decade, and have seen the value in having a knowledgeable, progressive webmaster on-call to support, maintain, and host our corporate website. All technical needs, support, and even custom coding has been processed with the professional touch as we’ve undergone several site revisions and improvements over the years. I highly recommend Scott Allard.

…I needed a dependable webmaster to make updates, and handle any technical issues.

For my active, artistic doll website, I needed a dependable webmaster to make updates, and handle any technical issues. When a new doll comes out, it’s critical that the photos, details, and payment options are updated in a timely manner. Scott has been very responsive and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a website or needing their current site managed. My site has some special requirements, including a PCI-Compliant payment page. Any online merchant knows, there are technical configuration needs that go into this, for internet security. The support of Scott’s hosting team and his technical knowledge really helped me through the process, and now my site passes the industry required security scans. (In layman’s terms, the site is safe and secure!)

To accept payments for my dolls, an SSL security certificate, a custom programmed payment form, and integration with a payment gateway was necessary. Because of the forms Scott programmed, my online sales have reached a much wider audience, increasing sales for my art products. Anyone running an eCommerce website should have a guy like Scott maintaining and supporting it with updates and technical assistance.

…Offered many ideas to enhance the site’s design and functionality.

Our previous website was years out-of-date.  When I approached Atalanta Web Design for a redesign, Scott offered many ideas to enhance the site’s design and functionality.  The enormous task of compiling, editing, and formatting the pages was undertaken, and as the process was completed, we now have a large volume of Search Engine Optimized (SEO) pages, and a library of quality content which makes the site a valuable resource for visitors searching for my specialized veterinary services.  The website’s refreshed and bold new look will be sure to make a great impression!

Q: Does my site have to designed by Atalanta Web Design?

A: No. This is not a requirement.
Many web clients have paid for a website, and it is running perfectly fine where it is currently hosted. If you are not getting satisfactory service, however, many clients have found it to be a good transition point to move the entire site, and/or do a complete site overhaul (redesign), with a refreshed new look, with a fresh new service provider. Major technical work is involved in a website redesign, with the investment, new design, refreshing of content, etc. If the previous designer did a good job, and there are few technical complaints, then a new webmaster could be enlisted to make the necessary updates.

Website changes are as easy as submitting a ticket!

Our easy ticket system completely eliminates the need to call or know advanced HTML skills. Just submit an email, with an attached Word document, PDF, photo JPG, and your requests will be processed – usually within 24 hours! With the evolving standards of the web, it is difficult to keep up with the new coding standards, such as CSS, javascript, ajax, php, and other web languages. Never should a web client have to deal with this!!

Content Management Systems

Many of the older sites are designed with raw HTML files and an FTP uploading/downloading system. This is an excellent standard, and many webmasters are well versed at this type of manual code editing. With the growth of larger websites, and advanced management needs, many clients want multiple staff members to access and modify the website with a “what you see is what you get”, WYSIWYG editor. There are many software packages available that can be used to manage administrative access, and also maintain the look and functionality you need, such as Joomla!, WordPress, Drupal, MODx. These still require a webmaster for support and assistance.

With any of these systems, there is a wide array of variables to consider. There may be limitations or restrictions with the previous system verses a new system so please contact us to discuss the specific details.

Professional E-Mail

Advanced spam filtering features are available for every E-mail account, including Secure E-mail, Spam AssassinTM, Email Forwarding, BoxTrapper, Auto Responders, and custom filter controls, all in a user-friendly browser interface.

After your hosting requirements are fulfilled, our primary core service is website design, maintenance and technical support. Many packages are offered to address the wide range of technical needs and budgetary requirements. The unique needs of each business are considered and a website marketing strategy is implemented for maximum attractiveness, and visitor response. Check out our online webdesign portfolio for latest customer site designs and for completed, working, online projects.

Website Design Or Redesign?

You are not assigned a number, and your project is handled by a professional human who works on managing websites full time, as a dedicated profession.
