Websites by YAY Technolgy
The content is created with rare updates in mind, avoiding information that might change regularly, such as menu specials for a restaurant, inventory levels, or upcoming events. Common content includes (but certainly isn’t limited to) description of services, photos, contact information and directions, an “about us” page, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
There are a number of key elements that go into a successful E-Commerce website, including presentation, organization, security, and payment verification and notification.
An E-Commerce site requires more ongoing attention than most other types of sites, but total costs are generally much lower than maintaining a brick-and-mortar storefront, and thus can be a great option for small business, or a business that wishes to target a customer base that is too widespread to target with a brick-and-mortar store alone.
These sites can be set up with multiple users collaborating on the site’s content, and different users can be given different permission levels for managing the site’s content, structure, and management. Some users may only be able to submit work for review before publication, others may be able to directly publish their updates, and still others can delve deep into the site’s workings and change any aspect of the website.
Content Management
Content Management is a critical part of maintaining a website that needs to be kept up to date and relevant to its visitors. Some of our customers choose to maintain their own content, and we are glad to give the training to make this possible. Other customers don’t have the time, resources, or desire to maintain their own website content, and would rather be able to depend on us to handle their website needs as a whole.
We are happy to handle content updates, however small or large. For customers that have only occasional update needs, we are glad to do this at our standard rate billed to the nearest minute. That means if your site needs a small update (for example, changing a phone number), it may only take a few minutes, and cost only a few dollars. For customers with regular, ongoing content management needs, we are glad to talk about discounted rates, depending on the volume and regularity of the updates. Content updates are invoiced and billed out at the end of every month.
Customized Email

Every business should use customized email addresses.
Using typical free addresses such as “yourbusiness@hotmail.com” comes across as unprofessional and even untrustworthy, and setting up customized addresses is inexpensive and easy to use!
