The second option we offer is for the small business owner that just needs a web presence without the high end functionality of e-commerce, CRM or a product catalog. This solution offers many of the features found in the MA Webcenters system at a lower cost.
In addition, if you already have a website hosting service and own your current domain name, we can use this option to re-design your current pages on your hosting service. Using our own software, we will offer you a fresh new look to your web pages and add the additional functionality that you desire. Although this solution is not "turn-key" like the MA Webcenters system, we offer reasonable maintenance rates to keep your pages current as your business and services change.
Please review the features for Website Lite in the tabs below to find out if this is the path for you. To view each tab at greater length, click on the tab to stop the scrolling.
Secure Your Domain!
If you do not have a domain name for your business, we can help you secure one from one of many hosting services we use. These third party services offer complete solutions to make the registration process quick and easy. Our system allows you to check on the availability of up to five .com, .org, .net, .biz, or .info domain names at the same time, and if you already have a domain name, you can use the domain tool to transfer the existing domain name to your new site in just a few steps.

Similarly, the hosting services offer varying amounts of storage space for a number of web pages, images and databases. By using these tools with a variety of special functions, we can build your site to manage a guestbook, calendar and other features listed here.
Existing Domains and Hosting Services
If you already have a domain name and hosting service, we can build your new web pages and post them to maximize your investment and maintain consistency. Depending on your future requirements, we can assess the capabilities of your current site and determine if it will serve your needs, now and in the future without increasing your monthly hosting costs.
News Tickers
One popular method of drawing attention to your business highlights or product features is to incorporate a news ticker or banner to automatically scroll these features in a continuous loop. Without making constant changes to the main content of your web page, daily, weekly or monthly revisions to the news ticker can keep all your new business developments up-to-date. An example of the news ticker is located on the right side of this page. There is no limit to the number of "news" items we can have scrolling and they can be specific to each page.
News tickers can also contain images and hyperlinks, in addition to standard text, thus allowing greater flexibility to highlight a specific product or event.
Banners
A banner is similar to a news ticker, except is usually scrolled horizontally across a portion of the page, or in the top portion of the page. This is also a nice way to highlight special sales or programs you have planned. Banners are usually consistant from page to page, unlike the news tickers which may change from page to page.
Also, banners are usually one headline or a group of headlines that continuously scroll to highlight the feature. All banners will be styled and placed to maximize their effectiveness to the viewer.
Tabs as a Secondary Method of Navigation
Have you ever visited a website and find a page that has so much material on it you end up scrolling down forever and end up losing the track of what the page is about, or where the navigation tools are located. One method we use is to incorporate a tab feature that keeps all the information at the top of the page and allows the user to navigate in a smaller space, thus, keeping the navigation tools present and the most important elements of the page in clear view.
Tabs can also contain any element you would place anywhere on the page. This includes slideshows, images and other page elements listed on this page. This is one example of the type of tabs we can use. As you can see, we have also included a script that scrolls through each tab at a timed interval until the user clicks on one of the tabs to stop the scrolling.
Slideshows
We have all seen the elegant slideshows on some websites that rotate a series of images, presentations and product information to the viewer. Now, your provide the same feature to your customers, either with presentations that you already have or we can build a custom slideshow for you. Using Flash, we can integrate both images, text and sound into a continuous presentation of your products and services.
We will work closely with you to script the presentation, edit the images and integrate the copy or sound into the slideshow. Just ask us for more information on how a simple flash presentation can add a touch of elegance and effectiveness to your webpages.
Integrated Map Tool for Directions to your business!
Whenever a new local customer finds your business online, one of the first things they'll want to know is "Where are you located?" Now your customers will be able to use an integrated map feature on your Web site to view a map displaying your exact location, or if they're unfamiliar with the area, your customers can enter their address and receive detailed instructions that will guide them right to your business.
