Website Design & Hosting

 

CustomerLink websites are highly customized and offer many features to help our clients pull more business into their shops. To make selection simple and efficient, we’ve streamlined our website services into two distinct tiers: the Starter Website and the expanded Premier Website.

Both of these offerings provide you with essential tools to get your business looking great and working efficiently on the Internet. With many features, graphics options, and customizable functions, your customers will be able to find you quickly and get the best impression of your shop.

This is Easy!

You don’t have to know anything about websites or web design. CustomerLink will purchase a domain name for your new website, and we will customized it to fit your shop perfectly (e.g., www.yourshop.com). We provide you with a selection of great graphics to pick from for your site, and then our team of design experts and internet technology gurus will do the rest, including matching the site colors to your logo so that your website is the envy of the Internet. (We can even provide you with a logo if you don’t have one.)

Starter Website

Included Items:

  • Personalized URL – Customized to your shop, created with SEO in mind. If you already have a URL, we can transfer your existing domain.
  • Customized Home Page – Your shop address, phone number, hours of operation, a shop photograph, a list of you professional organizations and certificates, and a brief business history or mission statement to tell people more about who you are.
  • Services Page – List the services you offer.

Premier Website

Our Premier Website includes everything that comes with the Basic Website and some really effective extra tools to drive business into your shop including all of the following:

  • Online Appointment Scheduling – Your customers can request an appointment online. The system then emails one or more of your staff so they can confirm the appointment or set it for another time.
  • Online Coupon Design, Setup, and Activation – Online coupons promote service specials, vehicle-specific service, or Internet-only offers as way to turn visitors to your site into visitors to your shop.

Tracking and Reporting

Subscribers to either service will receive monthly tracking reports via email, which include information on how customers reached your site, what pages they viewed, and how long they stayed.
