Why
do you or your business need a Website?
The Internet, another
dimension of a well-rounded advertising strategy, won't replace traditional
advertising, but here's what a Website can do:
- Give your business
a 24-hour/ 7-day per week presence to which customers can go at their
convenience-- they can shop your store, or get information about your
products or services, any time of the day or night!
- Give your customers detailed, up-to-date
information that is costly to keep current in catalogs and brochures,
but a cinch to add to a Website.
- Provide direct communication with your
customers through an easy-to-learn electronic mail system--to help
you offer even better customer service!
- Expand your market--people can "walk-in"
to your site from around the block, the continent, or around the globe!
- Make traditional advertising more effective--publicize
your Website in all the other advertising you do. That will bring
them to your website where you have more room to give them the information,
the pictures, and the answers they need!

Why us? Let's
get right to it. You've come to the technotouch.com website
to see if we're the designer for you. I'm not going to waste your
time. You want to find out what my prices are, how much you can get
for your money, and how can you get your site to come up in the top
20 of all search engines. Right? Okay. Let's talk. First you have
to ask yourself three questions and answer them so that, in the end,
you're going to be satisfied that you've made the right choice.
1.) What will set
your business or home site apart from the millions of others that
are currently on the Internet? Good question. By this time
you've surfed the net and checked out what others are doing. You pretty
much have an idea of what catches your eye. You know what sites are
coming up in the "top 20" of the search engines. It's called
keeping your eye on the "competition".
2.) What is the benefit
of having a site on the Internet as compared to distributing the traditional
brochure? You just paid a printer megabucks for that nice brochure.
You sent it out to prospective clients, paying dearly for the database,
addressing all of them (more money for the labels and printing and
postage) and kissed them goodbye at the Post Office. After all of
that, you may get a 1-2% response from your mailing. If you were to
take information from that brochure and put it on the internet in
a well designed manner, for a fraction of the cost you get global
exposure for no additional cost. All you have to do is follow up on
the email responses you receive directly from your site.
3.) Why should you
hire someone else to design your site when
there are free programs and/or beginners who's do it nearly free?
You work at least 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday at your day job.
Eat dinner, and finally get to sit in front of the computer at 7pm.
You downloaded that freeware HTML editor. Two months later you're
no further than you were when you downloaded the program. Let's do
some simple math. At your day job, you earn $12/hour. You now work
3 hours per night (x5), 5 hours per weekend day (x2) for 8 weeks trying
to create a quality site. The math? Technically you just spent $2,400
for a "do-it-yourself" website.
The bottom line is
that I've already gone through that learning curve, and have designed
several award-winning websites. I have expertise in:
HTML editing
- All sites are equally viewed in any browser.
Graphic design - Unique design
instead of boilerplate stuff.
Marketing - Search engine submissions
are time consuming and exacting. Many tools of the trade are tied
into knowing websites can get placed with specific search engines.
Javascript and CGI - Adding glitz
such as formmail scripts for your feedback forms, flash movies, and
other elaborate scripting such as shopping carts is there for the
asking. I and my talented associates can do this at a fraction of
what others would charge.
Hosting
- We also offer affordable hosting with a top-notch server. Believe
me - if I can trust them with my online business, they're the best!
So, if you'd like your Internet presence to be all that it CAN be,
whether it's a completely designed site, a makeover, customized graphics
and/or logos, then maybe technotouch is the designer for you! If you'd
like to find out, fill out our easy online web design form.
WHO-WHAT-WHERE-WHEN-HOW?
Any journalist or anyone in the marketing profession knows these words
well. Every question must be answered by everyone, and everyone has
a different answer. If you consider the millions of people who have
a need to be on the Internet, the reasons for their internet presence
are just as numerous.
WHO?
Anyone. Whether you're a Real Estate Agent who wants to let people
know how to find you or you're a CEO who decided your business has
to enter the e-commerce realm, the "who" is the visionary.
WHAT? A web
site can be broken down into three (5) Levels. They are: Entry, Small
Business, Not-for-Profit, Company, Corporate, Commercial, and Ultimate.
A new parent or a grandparent would want a basic site. The RE Agent
would want a company site. The CEO... a commercial site.
WHERE?
In order to have a site, you will need 'web space'. Internet Service
Providers provide not only dialup, but web space... for a fee. There
are many out there, and the price can vary greatly.
When? From the time you decide to have a site to actual implementation,
it could take anywhere from one week to 2 months depending on the
"what".
HOW?
Fill out our Online Webdesign Form to give me an
idea of what you need and want. I've tried to narrow down some basic
costs involved in purchasing a site. Once your request is received,
I will email you with a quote. If you decide to use my services, I
will require 50% downpayment. The site will then be designed and uploaded
to my own server for you to review. When you are completely satisfied
with the design, the site will be uploaded to the server you choose.
Normal turnaround time is less than 30 days. The balance is due at
that time.

TESTIMONIALS:
"Marlene Brown and her
TechnoTouch Team designed and maintain our web site. Marlene's knowledge
of unique and leading-edge web design and maintenance, plus her copywriting
ability, advertising and marketing expertise, make her and her company
a valuable asset as we combine offline and online business." -
Bob McDowall, CEO-GiftBarn
"Marmel Consulting created
the web page design for our company. They were sensitive to our needs,
flexible and easy to work with. They continue to adapt our web page
to the ever changing needs of our business. We are very pleased."
- Donald Miller, CEO-Anionics
"Marlene Brown and her
TechnoTouch Team's design of our web site and its unique shopping cart,
have allowed us to take advantage of the wave of electronic commerce.
She and her company are a pleasure to do business with."
- Debby & Bill Waskiewicz, Chesters Flowers
"Dear Marlene, When
you told me you could create a web site and get it placed in the first
three pages under Yahoo and Altavista, I was skeptical. You've created
a great web page for me! When we went to 7 out of 281 on Yahoo, it was
'WOW'! but AltaVista was the real test. Today we are 30 out of 12,448
in Altavista and only 5 of those are real companies. 'INCREDIBLE!' If
you believe as I do that the web is a vast potential and are looking
for an edge, Technotouch and Marlene Brown can give you that."

ABOUT
US
TechnoTouch Web Design
is a subsidiary of TechnoTouch Marketing Associates. Our philosophy
is simple: to provide the best quality web design to our clients. We
can create websites that can be complex or simple, depending upon your
needs.
We believe that winning web sites (and we've
designed two international first and second place award winning sites)
have five criteria: 1.)
They load fast; 2.) They're asthetically pleasing; 3.) They're easy
to navigate; 4.) They contain valuable content; and 5.) They're kept
current and up-to-date. We strive to make sure all the sites we design
follow this criteria.
From simple mouseover
menus (like the ones on our buttons at the bottom of the page) to complex
databasing systems, we can create that for you. Our web designers are
experienced artistic coders who can create custom graphics ranging from
simple clipart images to complex 3D images and animations.

Excerpts from WEB
DESIGN article 0/1/99:
A recent Retail Shopping
Report reveals that retail revenues from online shopping worldwide (which
totaled an estimated $1.8 billion worldwide in 1997) will increase by
784% over the next four years, from $4.5 billion by year-end 1998, to
$35.3 billion by 2002. eMarketer reports, "While this year's online
shopping sales will top $4.5 billion, it pales in comparison to the
business-to-business side of e-commerce which will reach $15.9 billion
by year's end. It will also be dwarfed by consumer-oriented catalogs
which sold over $51 billion last year, 10 times the amount sold online
to consumers."
Print can stun the reader
with high-impact visualization, but the online medium ultimately wins
because of the user engagement that is made possible by non-static design
elements. There are so many differences between the two media that it
is necessary to take different design approaches to utilize the strengths
of each medium and minimize its weaknesses. Print design is based on
letting the eyes walk over the information. Web design functions by
letting the hands move the information.
Look everywhere in Cyberspace
and you can find hundreds of places to host your site. Sign up, purchase
lots of "space" and wait for all those customers you expect to rush
over to buy the worthy products or information you have to offer. After
all, you know there are millions of people all over the world who use
the Internet daily with millions more getting signed up every year.
With these numbers, it should be simple to bring tons of people to your
site and sell to your heart's content. Only no one comes - at least
not the numbers of prospects that you anticipated. What's missing is
traffic. In order to avoid becoming a "cyber-statistic", a dropout who
blames the "over-rated" Internet for your lack of success, your site
needs to meet the following criteria: be designed, submitted, and kept
current, so those millions browsing the Web can find you. What are you
waiting for?
=================
CHECK
IT OUT - Need to reach the worldwide audience
that wants and needs the info or expertise you have? Techno Mktg can
