Here at Maroco Media Productions Ltd., our combined experiences have given us an edge.

We've spoken with numerous small and medium businesses over the years and have addressed the three main concerns regarding website development. Those concerns are:

The Need -  Do you need a web presence? The fact of the matter is this, every business should have at least a single page website on the internet. Why? Lets take a look at three points to consider.

Point 1 - Millions of people get on the Internet every day, some do this each time they need information. That number is steadily growing as well, not just here in North America, but world wide. With cellular phones having faster internet access and becoming more capable of displaying websites in their complete state, as the sites were designed, it is safe to say that we can expect the number of internet users to rise significantly in the not so distant future. How many of these people are, or could be, possible customers looking for YOUR products or services?

Point 2 - Having a website can be like opening a fully staffed second location, without the associated overhead. There is no building, no staff wages to pay, no utility bills, and no closing time. This location is open for business and working for you, doing promotion and sales, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, at a launch cost roughly equal to a month's wages for one employee. Subsequent yearly maintenance costs can drop to as little as $120 per year.

Point 3 -Google has virtually become a household word, like Kleenex has for tissues, and Ski-Doo has for snowmobiles. A person can find almost anything on Google. If someone searched Google for you, your club, or business, would they find you? Would it be accurate information. A website lets you give potential customers accurate information easily.

The cost - Let's face it, the cost of having a professionally designed website built, can be absurdly expensive. We realize that not every business has thousands of dollars to throw into a development project. We found that in order to be cost effective and budget friendly, we had to find a way to reduce the implementation and programming time of a web site. This sent us out on a hunt to find a software solution and find one we did.

This software called Joomla! is:

1. a completely modular system allowing extensive flexibility..
2. quick and easy to deploy. The core can be ready for content in as little as 60 minutes or less.
3. web driven, operating entirely online, allowing access from almost any internet capable computer.

The complexity - This aspect has been reduced as well. Not only does the software we use allow for rapid deployment, it also allows you, the client, to assume the duty of basic and intermediate site administration and maintenance. The intuitive web based site controls, which operate much like a word procssing program or email program, give almost anyone the ability make adjustments to the site content. Should you wish to take on this responsibility, we'll teach you everything you need to know through small feature by feature instruction.

In the event that you do not wish to make content changes to your website yourself, we can do that for you too at an affordable rate.
