The Short List

There are so many options, below we offer the more common ones for your consideration.

.

xxxx

xxx

A – Advanced Pages

The pages can be the most valuable in your website plan, because these are the ones that beg for interaction leading to a sale. But to be effective, these pages require great planning and should be tested and revised frequently to improve results. Cross market and split tests are also advised.

• Call-2-Action
• Forms (credit app, survey)
• Landing Pages
• Sales Funnels
• Special Function Pages
• Squeeze Pages

C – Complex Pages

The pages are important from their “First Impression Value”. Each requires careful planning to capture the attention you are looking for. You have as little as 5 seconds to keep the visitor on this page. So they need to be enticed, or captured or tied to a chair if possible.

• Features Pages
• Game Pages
• Homepage
• How it Works
• How To Page
• Index

E – Easy Post Pages

These pages are more informational, where the information is developed for general or other purposes, and needs to just have a place on the website for re-post.

Caveat, if improved SEO is desired, some of these pages can quickly jump to more investment, since a press release done right, can be powerful search engine food. But in a two step process, the post came from another purpose and the SEO is ordered and done separately.

• About Us
• Contact us
• News
• Press Release
• Staff Listing
• Video Wall

L – Legal Pages

Some business owners may be unaware, but if some of these are missing from your website, you could be surprised at the number of problems, legal costs and fines that could destroy your business in days.

M – Medium Content Pages

These pages have content that is informational, not critical sales material. In that sense, they take less work than a sales page, more work than a contact page.

• APPs Page(s)
• Benefits Page(s)
• Brand Page(s)
• Catalog Preview
• F.A.Q.
• Location
• What You Get Pages
• Why Page

P – Post / List Pages

These pages are generally grouped under categories and then displayed on a listing page for selection. The post in this case is assumed to be created separately and when posted, checking the correct category makes them show on the list page.

So list pages are easy, post pages should be well considered. For example a “News Post” should be written in a way that will attract search engines to your website. A glossary page can be simply to post an important definition, but with some tweaks, it is search engine food that can bring potential buyers to your website.

Some can also be allocated to sell for other companies to run ads aimed at your customers, for non-competitive products and services. This can be a source of revenue if you wish to charge for placing such ads on your website pages. If you have a lot of traffic, it can be profitable.

Categories

A properly built website for most businesses will have “Categories” for managing certain type of posts. If you have a store, you will use “Categories” to group your products for more organized store listings. In either case, it is easy to quickly exceed 100 categories when marketing is considered. The target categories should be very well considered both in terms of a visitor finding what he wants, while also considering your staff finding the information to make a sale, navigation concerns, etc.

Content Sections

This is about the next level of organization. Like categories, but more of a departmentalization, though in some cases, the categories and sections will be twins.

2. the syndication of your company posts to selected social medias;
3. display on your website, of your friends, posts or tweets, from any selected social medias;
4. post-by-post selective marketing messages, tweets, images, etc can be pushed on determined schedules to post on selected social medias, in a way that interacts with the current conversations.

Facebook, Google+ JingleSPOT, Linkedin, Pinterest, Stumbleupon, Twitter, Youtube

Metrics Integrated

Internet marketing has become the most sophisticated in history. Virtually anything that began as a keystroke, video, audio recording or document, can now be tracked to a great degree. For marketing purposes, we can track looks, likes, dislikes, shares, affiliate activity, sales and more.

• Alexa
• Footsteps
• Google Analytics
• Page Rank
• Path Analysis

Fonts

Font is frequently used synonymously with the term “typeface”, although before the advent of digital typography, “font” referred to a single size and “typeface” referred to a set of otherwise identical fonts of different sizes. Where today, a “font” generally covers the technology to use the “typeface” in various sizes.

• Pick a typeface that works well with your content and design
• Set size guidelines that consider multiple display sizes.
• Use font decorations skillfully
• Sans Serifs are tricky with small text sizes.
• Do not go overboard, design to read, not win art contests
• Test, test, and test again.

Some Fonts Options

• Bold
• Classy
• Colors
• Dropcaps
• Easy Read
• Handwriting
• Highlights
• Italics
• Moving
• Varied Sizes

Format

The style of your website is like the ambiance of the room. It can can set the mood for the visitor, so choose wisely. You can also use sub styles for certain sections of your website.

• Blog
• Brochure
• Classifieds
• Directory
• Game Site
• Guide
• Magazine
• Political
• Professional
• Store
• Video Site

Style

The style of your website like the the format, helps to set the stage. Generally, it should be in concert with your business formula and the type of visitors you want to attract. Kids like flashy, lawyers like conservative, modern is good in the most circumstances, innovative is great for new ideas and technology businesses. Traditional, can give the air of long standing established business.

• Conservative
• Flashy
• Fresh
• Innovative
• Modern
• Traditional

Number of Products

In most cases you will want to have a sale page or catalog page for each item or service you sell. In some cases, you may require the same product be available in multiple colors, sizes, etc. Which ever the case, will determine the total number of pages that will be added for selling from your website. Remember, someone must add this material and in many cases update it from time-to-time.

Personal Data Storage

While it is possible to design your website in a way that does not allow for storing any personal data. It may be difficult in the case of ecommerce, social media or a membership site. Regardless of the reason, if you store any personal information then several security issues and liabilities must be considered both for you and by contractors and hosting companies that serve your website.

Credit Card Storage

If you do ecommerce and accept credit cards, you may want to store credit card information for reoccurring billing or in connection with a membership buying account like Amazon or Ebay. Even if you only plan to pass the credit card information through to your merchant gateway, then forget the card number. You still have PCI compliance issues. But if you store the information, your a high risk hosting customer and your at high risk of heavy fines and penalties in addition to recovery and legal costs if your website is hacked. Talk to your JingleSPOT agent for more about this and how we can help.

Availability

How you sell is affected by the availability of the product or service. If you’re doing custom work, delivery may be delayed for some time while it is being constructed. If your selling digital, you should let them download upon completing payment.

Buttons / Features

To some degree, the features listed are all in common use. But not all apply to every business. You may want to sell one product and collect payment, or you may want them to shop the catalog and place a multiple item order.

Product Variations

Not every product and most services may not need these optional purchase criteria. But those that do, need to be well considered. It will also take more time to correctly enter and update products that have these types of requirements.

Pricing

Unfortunately, the price is not always the price. If you’re selling mostly to the public, then a retail and sale price are likely enough to meet your needs. But if you may require additional options, like price schedules to deal with layers of wholesaler and distributor pricing options, then more pricing is required.

Shipping

Shipping is a world of it’s own. If you’re dealing with small packages you may have mailing zones and other factors to consider. If you ship palate and container loads, thats yet another matter. There is a wide range here.

Merchant Account

If your planning for online commerce. then your going to want to have your own merchant account. PayPal and other online payment solutions are also advised, but should be second to a good merchant account.

If you do not have a merchant account, or you wish to lower your costs and improve your features, then we can help.

JingleSPOT has special arrangements with TRU merchant services, America’s premier merchant account provider. Just ask, and we’ll hook you up with a member of their astounding customer service team.

Data Storage

Our concern here is that certain types of data storage open you up for legal liability issues. Personal data storage increases the requirement for PRIVACY POLICIES and it changes the character of your website to that of a fiduciary, where you are entrusted with data that is expected to be kept secure. if your domain security is compromised, you will be under a great deal of scrutiny from regulators and perhaps your merchant account provider, even law enforcement. All of whom will treat you like a criminal unless you demonstrate sufficient effort was taken to prevent the breach. Regardless, you will also be required to do certain notices, and even pay for credit card replacement in many cases.

If you’re allowing third-party posting to your website. Then you’re open to other laws. In this case the bigger concerns weigh around intellectual property infringement issues. Where a third-party can post content belonging to a fourth-party. In this case, you must have followed certain procedures, or you will be the one in trouble for their actions, with fines, penalties, even server and domain registration termination may be in the mix.

Special Legal Requirements

Some professions and services carry special legal requirements. For example, in some states contractors must display their license number on their website, business cards, brochures, etc.

It is important to advise your web designer of these requirements in advance of the project. So that the requirements can be built-in to your website design from the start.

Our website content services are designed to help you fill your website with useful material. In some cases this is the material you need to covey about your products and services, how to use them, etc. In other cases, we may be asked to crate press releases, or other promotional materials.

Collateral Existing

If you have any existing collateral material to work with, even if you already have a website, You should plan on providing that material to your web designer from the start. That material can save you money, and help to guide your project in a way that keeps the look and feel of your website in sync with other materials you’re already using in the real world like brochures and flyers, signage, etc.

Content Creation

Even when updating an existing website, it is rare for all the materials to be done and ready to hand over to your web designer. So the question is, who will develop the missing content?

When the content is existing in the form of flyers, brochures or previous online materials. It can be possible to move the materials to the web, without a lot of new material development. However, even in these cases, the material must often be revised, or augmented. Again, who will do this? Remember in some cases a technical advisor will need to verify even material that was just transferred from printed brochures, flyers, etc.

Imagery/Art Creation

Likewise with your art and imagery, if it is not already done, it must be created or found and licensed. So you must have a plan.

This service provides you with real-world data on your new website.

These tests are performed by real people and moreover by people who are frequently asked to review websites for this purpose. These people can save you money by helping to improve your website results. They will help to spot the things that could be less than perfect for driving your website success.

Who will update content?

It is both simple and important to deal with this. The days of static unchanging websites is long past. Today, if you’re standing still, your passed by. Google and other search engines demand fresh content every week, or in some cases weekly, or worse daily. Depending on the niche you service, your competition may figure this out before you do, and their activity can push you to page 100 of google, even if you’re doing everything else correctly. Fresh content wins every time.

Automations

Like integrating your online store, and your accounting for real-time updates. We can also setup auto-posting, and other time-saving tools.

Business Class Hosting

Hosting is not always business class. Today the number of cheap web hosting companies abound. But they are not equal offerings. A cheap hosting account is exactly that. It lacks features, comes with higher security risks and other dangers. But you get what you pay for, so the choice is yours.

Business class hosting is not just about the type of server, the operating system, security or even the host support plan. Business class, refers to hosting made for business use. This means that the server and the support are configured to service the needs of a business effectively. The first need of a business is not to experience website failure. Or to mitigate it to a level that is insignificant.

Just start here, call any hosting company and ask some questions about the service coverage. You will find that 97% will not monitor your domain, do backups more than once per week, or provide other important services your business needs.

Call Tracking

Successful advertising depends on accurate tracking of the results. When you run a magazine ad, radio ad, or other offline advertising, it is often difficult to track results.

JingleSPOT offers a solution to this. We can setup throwaway marketing phone numbers. Place these on your marketing materials and for that special promotion, print this number in addition to your regular number, saying the promotion is only good when you call the special number. Now you have tracking for that advertisement.

Naturally, we can also provide these numbers for any other lawful use. Such as a way to mask your cell phone number, or an extra line in another city, to better serve the remote local area.

Ecommerce Hosting

As mentioned above, you may need ecommerce features for your website. If you do, then you should also consider using hosting made for ecommerce. While there are many reasons for this, the first is PCI compliance from the server level down. Since your credit card processing must ONLY be done on a server that is PCI complaint. Your going to need a server designed for that purpose.

Online Marketing

Your website may be awesome, but without marketing designed to expose it to the right markets. You may be disappointed with the performance.

We can help. We offer a number of website marketing plans from basic SEO, and social media marketing to more advanced integrated strategies.

Your not only extending the reach of those materials, your actually boosting the tracking you need to analyze results.

There are countless opportunities to improve your business with QR code marketing. Ask your JingleSPOT agent for more details.

Security Plan

Internet warfare and hackers are changing the way we do business online. It’s not enough to just password protect something today. There are bad guys with software robots that can guess your passwords at a rate of more than 1000 per hour. There are search engine spiders that burn up your band width crawling your site several times a day. There are spammers looking to take control of your domain email and spam others in your good name. Then there are those that want to destroy your website, because they can, or just because your doing business in the USA. There is malware being posted on websites like yours, designed to damage any computer that visits your website.

With our SMS services, you can tap this market. You can turn that smartphone in their pocket, into your own billboard. Better, if you do this right you can send them a special update and drive your sales.

Toll Free Numbers

It’s hardly necessary to explain a toll free number and how it can work for your business. But, we can provide them cheaper, or even as throwaways for promotional use.

Website Traffic Service
