Your website will come standard with a basic contact form, but why stop there? We can add additional contact forms or customize the look & function of the form.

Your home page is the front door to your company and images help you guide visitors to important pages within the site. An image rotation with captions & custom links, provides you with the ability to display multiple images, promotions, etc – and each “slide” can have its own unique call to action. You can also use an image rotation without captions & links as more of a slideshow to show what your company or group offers.
Whether you call it a Blog, an Article Archive, or simply an area that you can post current news & updates, a categorized Post section is vital to every business and organization.

Keep in mind that the most important element of raising your search rankings is creating relevant content — a Post section allows you to do that in an organized & beneficial way.
