Website Design in Connecticut - Done right the first time! We design and develop sites for our neighbors here in CT and all across the nation!

Business grows on word of mouth advertising better than any other method. Though it might not be as flashy or spectacular as a commercial or demographic devised advertisement, its a proven and time tested way to keep your customers coming back and bringing new ones with them. Best of all it’s cheap and saves you money on advertising fees.
Websites always feature a testimonials page where their clients can express their feelings towards the service they received or the product they purchased. And even though there are innovative designs for these types of pages, sometimes people simply won’t believe what they read. It’s easy to fabricate text…it’s harder to mimic hundreds of different voices.
This is where GetCustomerRated.com comes into play.
GetCustomerRated.com is a uniquely designed and engineered service that brings your customer’s testimonial to life. Here’s how it works.

Your company or business signs up and receives an individual phone number assigned to your account. Your customers can call this line at any time and leave a personal, recorded message giving their testimonial about your service or product. Their message is saved as an MP3 file that you can edit and download to your website. GetCustomerRated.com will give you a small and compact player that will load when browsing customers click on your mp3 file to hear the recorded message.

It’s a simple and effective way to upgrade your testimonials and convert your website visitors into solid, paying clients.
Most advertising ploys aren’t easy; this one actually is.

Content Management, Creation & Cookies.

Writing content is like making cookies, though the end is always worth the effort sometimes it’s simply more work than fun, (and lets not even talk about the clean up!). And though cookies may not be essential to your diet, writing content for your website is. Without good, clean content to express the ideas of your website, include the key phrases, and keep the consumer interested well then your website isn’t really going to give you the results you want.

Writing content can be a rather difficult thing to do at times, which is why most people hire Content Managers. Content Managers will not only write the content for your website, but they will also maintain it, update it and keep your website from burning in the oven like the cookies you forgot we were making are doing right now! Most Content Managers that keep both eyes on your website will come attached to an SEO Plan, however, you can most likely still employ their content
writing and editing services separately.

Sometimes all your website needs is a good tweaking. Maybe you’ve even written the content yourself and just want someone else to make sure its right; nothing like a vote of confidence to try baking another batch of cookies, right? “At least they’re edible”…”at least its legible”: all good things to shoot for, and having a professional content manager/writer to agree with you on that is worth the indented backspace on your keyboard.

If writing content and baking cookies simply isn’t your forte well then hiring a content manager to take care of everything will make the process of getting your website up and active smoother, quicker and in some cases, yummier. Content managers can easily write you articles for your site, update your blog, and keep up your social media entries (Twitter, Facebook ect.). And last but not least they can taste test your cookies while they edit your content to be grammatically and literally correct. (Good luck convincing them to help you with cleaning up though!

A CMS is the answer to cutting labor costs. CMS stands for Content Management Systems; which in a nutshell means you can edit your content.
Imagine having a great idea for your website at 1 AM on a Friday and not being able to do anything with it until maybe Monday morning…that’s just terrible, isn’t it? Now imagine that you can access your website at 1:07 AM and put your great idea into action! That alone makes a CMS priceless.

However, a CMS goes a step further and also offers amazingly easy methods of editing your content. And, to sweeten the deal, you will never be in any fear of breaking or ruining anything as a CMS can not be broken or ruined. And anything you’ve done to your site can always be edited back if it doesn’t pan out to be as great an idea as you thought it was. Without a CMS you would have to contact your web designer yet again and incur on ongoing bill just to edit your content.
For some people having an on-call web designer is the perfect fit; for others, a CMS’s one time payment pays for itself rather quickly.
