Your customers will continually be informed with the most current information on your company and its products. LTC Hosting has been providing web development to the business community since 1998.
Most business customers want help getting started with their web site and then start to maintain it themselves. We highly suggest using a content management system (CMS) like Joomla. Joomla 1.5 allows you to build and expand your site with little or no web experience. Many templates exist that you can use to give your site a rich look and feel. Because Joomla is an Open Source project there is no cost for the system. You pay only to get it installed, setup, configured and customized to meet your requirements. This allows you to have a site that would have would have cost tens of thousands of dollars just a few years ago for a small fraction of that cost. Most initial implementations of a CMS system are done from $500 to $1000.
We will work with you to give your site a professional web design and once you feel comfortable, you can maintain the site yourself. If you want us to do all the work we can arrange that through one of our managed hosting packages, You provide us the changes and we will update it for you. When you need additional ideas or add an E-Commerce shopping cart, we are available to assist you in developing what ever you need.
Tampa Bay Hosting demands of itself, to keep your costs to a minimum. We therefore offer web site designs and small business consulting that will best suit your companies requirements. Prices are based on you providing the written and graphic material (logos, images ET.) to be used in the web site. You retain all ownership and copyrights to your materials and those we develop for you. For larger sites that require displaying a large quanty of data we can work with you to develop an on-line data base to provide an easy to maintain and updated web site. Want an online store? We will design your store around our OS Commerce shopping cart that has all the features of the big guys but has your store own unique look and feel.
