custom website designs that showcase your small business

As a comprehensive, small business web site design company, we work hard at understanding your needs, your wants, and your parameters so we can help you realize your goals.

It's not just a matter of asking 20 questions.  In reality, it's asking the right questions about your small business web site goals, your target audience, your competition, and your image in the industry.  Most importantly, we listen deeply and truly to your answers, so that we can dissect exactly what you're saying to get to the "meat" of your needs, desires, and requirements.

As your partner, once we've assessed and ensured that we thoroughly understand your small business website needs and goals, we can begin to create a remarkable solution that's sure to successfully communicate your brand, make an impact, and more effectively market your products and services.

Our affordable small business website designs are custom designed to fit your business and to showcase every segment of your product line or service and serve as an extension of your marketing department.  Tom Rumish Website Development does not purchase or use ready made "cookie cutter" Dynamic Website Templates (DWT's).

In general, the process involved in creating an affordable custom web site for our small business clients follows the sequences shown below. 

#1 - free small business website designing consultation

Our initial step in the custom website design process is to consult with you, the small business owner, to learn about you and your business.  A general outline of the small business website structure, including the number of pages and features that will best present your small business on the Internet is arrived at during this consultation.  There is no obligation on your part for this small business web site design consultation

We will of course answer any questions you may have about websites, web site hosting, design, etc. during our free consultation.  You will also be given a free packet of information relating to website design and marketing both your business and your custom designed web site.

Using the structure and features information that is arrived at during the consultation we will provide you with a printed estimate of the actual cost to have your small business website custom designed by Tom Rumish Website Development.  There is no charge or obligation on your part for this initial consultation.

#2 - affordable web sites custom designed to fit your business

After the initial web site design consultation we will create custom designed conceptual layouts for your approval.  The website layouts will be custom created to showcase your small business products and services to viewers on the Internet in the best manner possible.  Generally speaking, you will be shown two or more custom web site designs to choose from.  Changes to these initial designs concepts can of course be made to your liking.  The small business web site design that you chose and approve will then be carried throughout the website, to give the website continuity.

While we are finalizing the work on your small business web site designs' graphical structure and layout, you will be asked to write the textural content for the various pages of your website.  Prior to beginning this very important task, you will be given printed material and instructions on how to properly write the web page text content for maximum effectiveness with Search Engine Results Position.
 

#3 - digital photos used in the custom web site design

In addition to writing the textural content for the various pages of your custom small business web site, you will be asked to gather the photos that you would like to use on your website pages.  Photos can be in digital format or hard copy.  Hard copy photos will be scanned by Tom Rumish Website Development at no charge and will be returned to you when your affordable web site has been completed.

If you don't not have appropriate photos or need additional digital photos for use on your custom designed website we setup a sequence of digital photography sessions to capture your manufacturing process, products and services for your small business website.  We will travel to your location and shoot digital photographs for your small business web site design free of charge, if you are within 30 miles of our location.
 

#4 - domain name and hosting for your small business website

If you do not currently have a website Domain Name and your web site design is new to the Internet, we can help you register your domain name and direct you to a quality hosting service. Once your website is completed we transfer your affordable custom web site design files to the website server at the website hosting company.

Upon request, you will be given, free of charge, all files relating to your small business web site design and maintenance to keep for your records.  Many other website designers for small business will not give you these files.

#5 - search engine optimization & submission by the website designer

Basic web page optimization is performed on all small business websites designed by Tom Rumish for easy indexing by search engines.  After the optimization process is completed your web site will be submitted to at least 50 search engines worldwide.  Search engine submission is included at no additional charge to the client.

Our small business web site design clients are granted Copyrights to the custom web site design.  Often other affordable website designers for small business's retain the Copyrights for themselves, on websites that they develop for clients.  (Would you pay someone to build a home for you and then let them retain the title to the home?)

#6 - maintenance of your affordable custom website design

Your affordable custom web site design, created by Tom Rumish will receive maintenance free of charge for 60 days after the site is publish to the Internet.  Ongoing support for maintenance and revisions of your small business web site is always available, after the initial 60 day period at a nominal fee.

We can also tutor you in making "simple text changes" to your custom website design by yourself.  This tutoring is available at a nominal hourly charge, and is usually not offered by most website designers for small business.

#7 - we offer many other services to small businesses

In addition to small business web site designing, Tom Rumish Website development offers many other services to small businesses owners.  For information about the other services, which are related to your web presence and non-web related to the web, that are offered by Tom Rumish Website Development please visit our "Other Services" page.
