Encompass: Website As A Service
"I highly recommend 270net’s Encompass package. We have been using them for our hosting and website needs for years. Last year we finally had enough with our antiquated website. The Encompass package was great, it handled the redesign of our site with no fuss and it was a very painless project. The program is user-friendly. The staff is great. The marketing, maintenance and hosting features are superb and extremely cost-effective. I would highly recommend this hassle free solution offered by 270net."

Your website has four basic needs: Design, Hosting, Maintenance, Marketing
While there is no limit to what a website can include, there are four
elemental needs shared by all successful sites. Even the most basic sites need a
template design and content layout. In order to be accessible online the files
must be hosted on a server. There must be content - text, images, video - on the
site and there must be a way to update that content. Finally, a successful site
must be accessible to readers, so it must rank well on search engines and social
networks.
By focusing on the essentials and packaging them into a single fixed rate,
Encompass offers you everything. Because your rate is fixed, the door is open
for you to really improve your web content, rankings and design. We invite you
to experience the freedom of this all-encompassing service.
Website Design & Redesign
Every business has
a website. But it is short-sighted if you fail to understand that websites need
to be redesigned on a regular schedule. Every two to three years is a good rule
of thumb for redesigns. The reason for this is the steady evolution of Internet
technology and design. Here are two examples. First, when the first websites
were designed, computer monitors defaulted to a display width of 800 pixels. So
sites were typically designed to fit in that space. Today, monitors display a
much wider image. In fact, it's likely you don't even have the option to view
the web in a 800 pixel width. Any sites still at that width are making poor use
of available real estate and look obsolete. Second, more recently Internet
browsing has moved to mobile devices (iPhones, netbooks, Blackberries, etc).
This has created new display demands not predicted even a few years ago. Sites
that want to be successful are adapting and evolving regularly.
We challenge you to embrace the value of the evolving website design.
Encompass includes a redesign every-other-year. We can start the redesign as
soon as you sign up. And you're on track for the next upgrade in two more years.
If you've been putting off your redesign because of the cost, Encompass is your
solution.
Website & Email
Hosting
In order to be
accessible on the Internet your website files have to be hosted on a server...
somewhere. You could host them in your basement on your own box. Or, if you care
about security, you could use a service like Encompass and host them in "the cloud". There are many, many hosting providers but a lot
fewer offer personal customer service. We answer the phone and have trained
technicians available if you ever have a question about your hosting
service.
Encompass hosting includes email hosting. Your basic rate includes up to 25
email addresses with anti-spam and anti-virus protection. Join Encompass and
experience the peace of mind knowing your web and hosting services are under one
roof and you have the luxury of knowing our experts are only a phone call
away.
Website Maintenance
With Encompass
there are two fast ways to manage your website's content.
CMS
Our Content Management System is a powerful tool that allows you to access
your site pages and make changes in real-time. We have a growing number of web
apps (or modules) that are included with the CMS including photo galleries,
blogs, latest news lists, a calendar and more. Training and support is all
wrapped into the Encompass service package.
Use Our Web designers
We understand you won't always have the time to edit your site yourself. So
our web designers are available to make your changes. Simply call or email us and we'll take care of the
edits. Turn-around time is 24 business hours.
Remember, maintenance is all included, so you are free to make updates as
often as you like!
Website Marketing
Website marketing
didn't used to be that crucial. Now that everyone is online and every one of
your competitors has a website, the reality is web marketing is now essential.
You have to be doing it because everyone else is. Encompass includes both SEO
and social media marketing support.
SEO
Successful sites rank high on Google, Yahoo and Bing. Has your site fallen in
the rankings? To be effective, search engine optimization should be an ongoing
process. Encompass includes monthly SEO by our skilled TIP marketers. We will
improve your rankings through content optimization, keywords, backlink building,
landing pages and more.
Social Media Setup and How-To Support
In the same way everyone is on the Internet, they are all using social media
in one form or another. To be seen, successful websites go where the eyes are.
This means Facebook, Blogger, Flickr, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. And these sites
incorporate social media plug-ins to encourage sharing of their content. With
Encompass, you'll have assistance setting up your social media presence and we
can help you find the answers if you have questions about the options and
services each social media service offers. Remember, you can also upgrade your Internet marketing
with a Personal Internet Marketer.
With Encompass, you are in good hands today and moving forward. Take
advantage and get the service package that offers Everything.
