Designed to help build your business, not just be an online business card
Your website should work hard for your business 24/7. If you want a business card, or a brochure, we can do those, too, but your website can and should be more than that, and at a price that won’t bankrupt you. Your website should pay for itself not just with online sales, but in time spent marketing and communicating, bringing in new, loyal customers, and strengthening your brand (not weakening it). Currant Interactive websites are:
We make it easy
We know that one of the reasons many small businesses don’t have websites, or don’t have websites that are current and professional looking, is that you just don’t have time to deal with that, even if you know how to. We’ll handle everything from start to finish (working closely with you, of course), from domain registration and hosting, to email setup, information design, site build, and testing.
And we won’t leave you hanging once we launch your site. We’ll give you everything you need to make the most of your site. More importantly, we’ll do it all for you if you’re so inclined.
Here are some of the other services we provide:
Like everything else we do: designed to make your life easy.
Again, this is part of our philosophy of taking the headaches out of owning a website. Because we want to provide top-notch service, we only host our website clients.
Choose simple hosting, or one of the hosting bundles below:
Basic Hosting - $10.50/month
This plan comes with up to 10 email addresses and plenty of hard drive space and bandwidth. Again, we’re going to keep it simple here, so we won’t go into details about exact amounts of hard drive space or bandwidth. If you need more space, a new database, more email accounts, etc., we’ll upgrade you to a new server and you probably won’t even notice we did anything at all. Not even on your bill. We can keep doing this until your website becomes a major hit on the web. But then, if/when that happens, your site will more than pay for a hosting upgrade.
Bundle 1 - $59.95/month
Same as above, but includes up to two hours per month of site maintenance and updates. Clients on this plan will work directly with Ken to get new content published, edited, or deleted from the site quickly and hassle free. Just make a quick phone call, or use the contact form on the Currant Interactive site to request an update. Customer service, questions, etc. do NOT count against your hours on these plans.
Bundle 2 - $79.95/month
Same hosting plan, more site maintenance hours. This gets you up to four hours a month. Customer service, questions, etc. do NOT count against your hours on these plans.
Bundle 3 - $99.95/month
Again, same hosting plan, but for the price of cable, you get nearly the equivalent of an in-house webmaster. Just tell us what you want, and it’ll get done. Up to eight hours a month. This plan is recommended for people who want us to send out email newsletters and manage bounces, edit copy before publishing, edit and publish photos, etc. This is for people who are going all out to make their site a success and an integral part of their marketing plan, without taking time away from their core business activities.
Domain registration - $8.95 / year or less
We use GoDaddy for this service because of their unmatched prices, and ease of use. We don’t charge anything on top of what GoDaddy charges, but we do ask that you participate in the registration process so that there is no confusion as to just who owns the domain name. We have heard horror stories of companies and so-called professionals refusing to turn ownership of domains over to their clients when the relationship turned sour. They were able hold these clients’ hostage because the clients were relying on them to manage the process. So, we’ll educate you, and at the same time ensure that you are the sole owner of your domain(s). Also, working together on this simple process gives us a chance to talk about domain management, renewal, and other things you need to know as a website owner.
