Quality and Affordablity: The Econoweb WebSite

“I need a web site but it’s too expensive.”

I hear this all the time.

So we went to work to see how we could change this. We call the resulting site an Economweb site. Nothing is compromised. It looks professional, it is very reliable, it is easy to maintain (you can do it yourself), and it doesn’t cost and arm and a leg. In fact, you can buy the tools here inexpensively and go at it yourself. And you can grow it to meet you future needs.

This means we can take either of two approaches to help a small business get this economical web presence:

  1. In the basic Econoweb program, we do the work in partnership with you. You provide the content and related material (including photos and graphics), we provide the layout, help you with suggestions, do the website development, load all the initial content, and then show you how to keep it updated . The resulting website is easy to maintain without any programming skills. You can update it from day to day, always focusing on your message rather that the programming. Total cost is just under $2000.If that’s what you want, keep reading.
  2. If you do have some skills and the time for even this easy website development, you can purchase the licenses from us and we will provide the software and support as necessary. That is an even less expensive  path. If this is the direction you wish to go for your website, contact us directly.

Why not call or meet with us for an initial contact to see what we can do for you?

This site is an example of our full Econoweb development. With our new Econoweb program, we found a way to create professional quality websites for clients for less than $2000. If you need a quality web site that is affordable and works, our custom program can create it for you in about 1-2 weeks at $1995. What’s more, you can update the content or layout yourself without knowing anything about programming.

This site you are visiting now (netadventures.biz) was done as an Econoweb site. You can maintain the site yourself. This approach allows you to focus on creating your content with a simple internal editor. You can even paste in content from a word processor or another site from which you are upgrading. This was built on the Genesis framework and took about a week to build.

Here are the some of the features of an Econoweb site compared with a traditional website:

With both types of design you have high speed loading, media support (video, images, sound), spam and virus control, blog support, and a professional quality website.

Econoweb and Traditional Website Comparison

  • The site has a professional look with an easy-to-use layout. It looks authoritative and trustworthy. Your typography and spacing is controlled professionally from the theme that is used; yet your site looks and is unique.
  • You can modify and upgrade your site yourself without needing coding knowledge. Your site uses a content management system (CMS). That means you can upgrade the content or layout yourself at minimal cost. You can change the number of the columns and the width of each. Widgets are included in the system. Choose the widgets you wish for your sidebar(s): calendar, search box, archives listing, blogroll, category and tag listings. You can change fonts and colors of your basic theme to meet your needs. An internal editor allows you to add pages or posts and update their content easily.
  • Your website is specially designed to provide high search engine optimization to get the visitor traffic you want.
  • Delivery is fast. Only a few weeks from design to a working web site unless we are really backed up.
  • You can add images, videos, and more where you wish. You can use custom headers on your site and blog. Custom headers and footers appear on each page. Other images can be added as part of your content and are page specific.
  • Extensive analytic features are included to give you insights on your visitor traffic and how well your website is working.
  • You web site includes a blog (if you wish) for social networking. We strongly advise using the blog.
  • Your website is rock solid. It is very difficult to break. You are never in the core files when you edit content, change the layout, or do other support functions. The site is developed to W3C standards.

The basic site supports progressive enhancement and we can optionally add:

  • Shopping cart and e-commerce support
  • Password controlled access to secure areas
  • Using forms to input data in addition to the included contact form
  • Advanced SEO
  • Animations (video, Flash)
  • Mobile phone gateway to your site
  • Social Networking

…and more
