Website Design

Are you missing a huge piece of your target audience because you don’t have a website or is your current web presence failing to attract your market?  Bemis Promotions builds websites that work for–not against–your marketing and promotion strategy.  It might be your primary tool or a piece of a broader campaign.  Either way, your website should reflect your brand on every page.

Every site we design combines graphics, features, and thoughtful content to create a presence that is unique to your writing, business or personal mission and creates exactly the impression you want to make on your target audience.  The impact is precise, consistent, and scalable across other marketing media (i.e. brochures, business cards, letterhead, online advertising, etc).

The Bemis Promotions process is simple: we listen to you. Our experience with what works for authors has taught us the right questions to ask so that we can design a site that will help your business, books or career succeed. The result? A professionally designed, high-impact site delivered faster and more affordably than you may believe possible.

Website Maintenance

Are regular monthly, weekly, or daily updates becoming onerous? Are you losing huge chunks of your work day to timely content? For clients with ongoing needs, our maintenance package offers reliable support at a predictable, manageable cost. A maintenance package offers you the comfort of knowing your web presence will remain current and relevant at a small monetary cost while you reclaim precious time.  Select a day of the month dedicated to updates and we can send you a monthly reminder a week in advance.

Monthly Maintenance

The Bemis Promotions Monthly Maintenance package is about more than monthly site updates.  Having a maintenance package is an insurance policy against unexpected expenses and site downtime. For as little as $50/month, our monthly maintenance packages include:

• Monthly reminders when it’s time to update.
• Monthly updates to your site (including content, basic menu/graphics changes related to content additions and more)
• Monthly site statistic reports.
• Yearly reviews of your site, promotion efforts and social media strategy.
• Regular updates to site software (e.g, installing new Content Management System releases, new versions of site plugins and security patches).
• We will fix any problems caused by host/server/database issues.
• We will fix any user-caused errors, random acts of God or computer gremlins.

Limited Maintenance

For our clients with limited budgets or who prefer to update their content themselves, we’re now offering a limited maintenance package for as little as $16.66/month. Our limited maintenance includes:

• Regular updates to site software (e.g, installing new Content Management System releases, new versions of site plugins and security patches).
• We will fix any problems caused by host/server/database issues.
• We will fix any user-caused errors, random acts of God or computer gremlins.

Please note: Without a maintenance package, we charge an hourly rate for anything we do to your site, with a 1 hour minimum.
