What is a SimpleSite?
SimpleSites are just that—simple web sites that are meant to get your business a web presence quickly and affordably. They feature a custom design and complete content management capabilities.
Why SimpleSites?
Because there is a demand for affordable, custom web sites. We know money is tight these days, but you still need to market your business. Unlike many template web site products, we don't use off-the-shelf templates so you know your site design will be unique to you. On top of that, we provide you with a full solution that includes content management, allowing you to easily update your site's content yourself.
What do I get?
You get most of the things with a SimpleSite that you'd get with a custom web site, only much faster and for a great price. Here are the details:
Custom design for your web site: We provide you with one initial mockup* of your site design and you get one round of revisions to the mockup.
* Additional mockups and revisions are available for an additional charge.
Complete content management system (CMS): We use a proven open source content management tool to power our SimpleSites. Not only is it easy to use, but it is powerful and community-supported. You can add pages, upload photos and media and format your text, among many other things.
Blog capability: You can also easily maintain your own blog (or call it a news section, even) allowing you to maintain timely content for increased search engine presence.
A basic web site structure: With a SimpleSite, we'll provide you with a designed site, up to 5 top-level pages ready for your content, blog and training on how to use the CMS.
Web hosting with e-mail: We also host your site for you on our web servers, which includes use of your own domain name and e-mail service @yourdomain.com. You get up to 5 e-mail addresses!
Search engine-friendly: Unlike many template sites, our SimpleSites are search engine-friendly, meaning your content will be picked up and indexed by the search engines easily and accurately. We also set you up with Google Analytics, Google Sitemaps and a free basic search engine submission to Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Ask.com and AltaVista once your site launches!
What's it cost?
SimpleSites are a fraction of the cost of a typical custom-designed and programmed web site, featuring flexible payment plans. Additionally, Workshed offers a local discount to Camas/Washougal businesses. SimpleSites also include an affordable and dependable hosting account for a reasonable monthly fee, becoming an all-in-one solution.
What if I need more than a SimpleSite?
That's easy. Workshed is a full-service web and creative agency. We can either offer customized simple site add-ons, or we can build you a more custom site—just ask!
