- Training time: Time will be measured from the scheduled start time of training to the actual end time of training (to be rounded up to the next quarter hour.)

- Targeted Promotions Efforts
One of the most important elements of developing a Web site is getting your Internet Address listed with various on-line search engines, yellow pages and industry-specific directories. The benefit is that when users search using keywords that match your site content, they will find a link to your site. Otherwise, new traffic may not know how to find you.
During the development process, we will make recommendations that will encourage a high ranking for your site within the search results. However, true search engine optimization is time-consuming and should be considered a separate element of Web development. Once your new Web site goes live, Web Professionals will send a request for a link to your home page to 10 top search engines/directories at no charge (sites developed by Web Professionals only.) This will get you started, however to ensure the highest degree of exposure for your Web site, it is recommended that you include in your budget a set amount for continued monthly promotional efforts.
- Search Engine Optimization and Promotion

We can work with you to optimize individual pages, establish a Link Popularity strategy, and set up and manage Pay Per Click campaigns.
