Service Packs

Up to two hours per month

Hours can be split up to accommodate scheduled updates, but do not roll over if not used. While it may be possible to make your changes the same day your order is received, I hate to disappoint, so officially I say rush updates can done within 72 hours (excluding weekends).

Up to four hours per month

You may also purchase up to four hours per month to cover that "spring cleaning" you've been putting off. This is also the better option if you need scheduled weekly site changes, have eCommerce specials that change, or frequent user contributions to manage for example.

Only one package can be purchased in a calendar month. Additional hours are billed at $50 per hour.

To purchase, please complete this brief project outline form. Payments must be received in full before work begins. You may pay through Pay Pal, or mail your project request info. with a personal or business check.

Common updates:

• Add, edit or delete written content on time sensitive web announcements, calendar items, event updates, job openings, staff changes, seasonal items, etc.
• Post articles, photos or graphics to your site or blog
• Minor cropping, retouching, etc. of photos, graphics
• Create and post PDFs from your existing office documents (word, excel, powerpoint)
• Add/delete/forward email accounts on your domain server
• Write and/or post "callouts" (see "Callout examples")

How much time does it really take to accomplish a given task ? What makes a certain job "complicated?".... it depends. When in doubt, please contact me at 815-289-4709 or send email to: info@lizmicik.com

As an example, here's what it takes to post two different types of callouts on your website:

• Announcement callout - You supply event information through email in a Word doc. along with an FTP username and password for my use. I would then:
  • Establish a local directory for your site and download the page(s) where the announcement should appear,
  • Insert and format the announcement to match your site style on the appropriate web page(s),
  • Test to ensure the announcement and page looks correct and any links function,
  • Upload the new page(s).
  • This typically takes 10-20 minutes
    
• Teaser/popup callout - You supply a topic/internal page you would like highlighted by a "teaser" designed to lead a visitor to read the full article/page. In addition to the steps in the first example, I:
  • Write teaser of up to 175 words,
  • Locate, crop, resize, and possibly retouch a photo to go with the item,
  • Provide one round of proofs via email if desired,
  • Insert the item into an existing space or pop-up on your page or pages. Creation of the pop-up is another job I could handle, but one we would need to discuss and price separately
  • Test to ensure it looks correct and links function.

One teaser callout per month could consume the whole two hours.

P.S. These are proven favorites of both visitors and search engine spiders!

Social Marketing 2.0 attracts links and targeted visitors

Refferrals rule the web today and help to dictate which sites rank highly on the search engines. It's all about who knows you. I offer two social marketing packages.

The first is a one-time package where I will go through the tedious and time consuming process of manually establishing accounts for you at the top 20+ social marketing sites. You'll want to use these accounts over and over again in the future each time that you post to your blog or put out a press release or want to draw people's attention to a different page (or product) on your site.

My second package can be purchased over and over each month to help you establish your business and get good search visitbility. Building links to your site is an ongoing process. I can help introduce you to your community in the natural way that the big social sites, directories and search engines like with one or two comments, or bookmarks made each week of the month.

• Blog commenting - I will also make relevant comments on two to three of the blogs identified above on your behalf with suggested links back to your site or blog
