One of the things that make Apex the best choice in small business web development is our included services. We know that your expertise is in your business, not website creation. So you may not know that the site design is only part of what you need to build an online presence. That's why we have expanded beyond design to provide a complete web solution, so that you can continue to focus on running your business. When you hire Apex, you get more than just a website design. It's like getting an entire IT department for your small business! Move your mouse over each topic to learn more:
- Site Planning and Needs AssessmentPlanning
There are many different types of websites. You could use an e-commerce online shop, a WordPress blog, a photo gallery, a discussion board, an informational site, or a combination of several different types. There are also elements like embedded multimedia, advertisements, RSS feeds, and more. The possibilities are endless! We will work with you to make sure we hit the appropriate balance between features and cost. - Professional Site Design and Validated XHTML/CSS ProgrammingDesign
We work with you to create an appealing visual design, then turn it into static code that functions properly in all major web browsers. We can also create dynamically-generated pages using programming languages such as Javascript, or database-driven applications using PHP and MySQL. It all depends on what you want out of your website! Apex will help you decide which options will best suit your needs and the goals of your site. - Domain Procurement and RegistrationDomains
Through our industry contacts, we're able to provide a discount on your domain, which is the name of your website that someone would type into their browser to view your site. For example, our domain name is www.apexcomplete.com. Domains are registered on a yearly basis with ICANN, the international association that handles these things. We can get you top-level domains for as little as $1.08 per year! - One Year of Business-Class Hosting, with Unlimited DomainsHosting
Hosting is an often-overlooked cost of publishing a website. You need an internet-accessible place to store the actual files that comprise your site. Many designers also offer hosting, but it's often an additional monthly fee, and can cost $300 or more per year for businesses. We negotiated a deal with a major hosting company that allows us to include hosting with no additional fees for our clients. You get a full year of all-access business-class hosting with guaranteed 99.9% uptime for as many domains as you want, included in your low package price! After the first year the renewal fees are as low as $50 per year. - Search Engine OptimizationSEO
Millions of people use search engines, such as Google or Yahoo, to find what they're looking for every day. These search engines use various techniques and algorithms to deliver relevant results, and knowing how to please the search engines is an indispensable tool for driving traffic to your site. Apex can work with you to develop marketing strategies, using both paid and free resources, to increase your ranking on search engine lists. Even if most of your traffic will come from offline advertising, it never hurts to be in the Top 10 on Google! - Unlimited E-mail Addresses @yourwebsite.comEmail Accounts
Using free email accounts from services like Gmail and Live.com are fine for personal messages, but sending e-mails from your own domain lends credibility and professionalism to your business correspondence. All of our clients receive unlimited email accounts as part of our hosting plan. You can use your favorite email program, or our web-based email system which allows you to send and receive email from anywhere in the world! - Targeted Training for You and Your StaffTraining
Having access to your website doesn't mean anything if you don't know how to take advantage of it. We recognize that not everyone knows how to set up an email account or upload photos to a blog. That's why we make training a priority at Apex. We can walk you through any process step-by-step, create written instructions, even produce custom training videos for your staff! - Content Management SystemContent Management
We use Cushy CMS Integrated Content Management System to allow clients to update their site information on their own schedule. This system makes it simple and easy to change text, images, and links on any type of site, using a web-based visual editor from any internet-enabled computer. Changes are posted immediately to your site. This gives you more immediate access to your website and more control over the content. - Outstanding Personalized Customer ServiceCustomer Support
