What the heck is PeterPalms.com/webdesign and why should you spend even a microsecond of your time here?

The answer is simple. Starting and building a "dot.com" company is as exciting and cool as it gets. We know, we started  May, 1992 That's a long time in Internet years. We started with one office and in  11 years opened offices in the United States, Hong Kong, Russia, Eastern Europe, Austrailia, Argentina, and Brazil. Next, we launched our services in Spanish, French, German, and Chinese, and acquired customers in 81 countries around the globe. In the process, we quickly discovered that the Internet is a fast way to get into business and an even faster way to loose lots of sleep and money. In fact, listen closely. The giant sucking sound you hear is the sound of millions of dollars leaving the pockets of people like you and me and pouring into the accounts of web site designers, builders, hosts, and various other e-commerce "service providers." (Many of whom, we should mention, are committed to making money whether or not your company ever makes a dime.)

Yes, owning an e-business is still cool and easy to start. But as we discovered, choosing the wrong hosting company, the wrong programmer, the wrong payment processor, or the wrong promotion vehicle can put you out of business in an Internet minute. (If you're new online, that's the equivalent of a New York minute divided by ten). So PeterPalms.com was created to be the resource we wish we could have consulted along the way.

Our goal is to educate, amuse, and prepare new e-business people to help themselves. Sure we hope to make a cyberbuck or two in the process, but we're committed to doing it the old fashion way- by providing you with a tool that is more valuable than DSL.   Most importantly we're committed to keeping it simple, because we believe that much of what we read on e-business today would have been too complex for us back when we first flipped the on switch at PeterPalms.com.com. Now about that name...

Why we called it PeterPalms.com?

We thought about calling it e-Business for Dummies, An Idiot's Guide to e-Business,  but  decided that since Dr. Palms PhD (Economics) has 40 years of prior international business experience as advisor to seven U.S. Government Agencies, The Presidents of four countries and numerous Fortune 1000 companies we ended up calling it PeterPalms.com: The Guide for those who don't know yet about e-business. In short, it's a simple, slightly irreverent e-business guide for the rest of us. Again, our mission here is to inform, amuse, and encourage small e-business owners. What sets this guide apart from the hundreds of other small business sites cluttering the web is our commitment to be a "quick study" resource. If you own a typical growing e-business, you don't read The Industry Standard (too much) or The Wall Street Journal (too stuffy) and you've ruled out Andersen Consulting (too expensive). You're simply too busy, too overwhelmed, and too impatient to use most of the small business resources available. Most of all, if you're like Dr. Palms, you just want to know the really important stuff, when you need to know it, and not a moment before. Well, welcome to PeterPalms.com.

What you'll find on PeterPalms.com.com.

PeterPalms.com  is aguide to starting, building and expanding a business online. On PeterPalms.com you'll find really easy to understand answers to the things you absolutely need to know about e-business. The information is presented in a simple, bottom line way  You see, Dr. Palms knows you're busy, so he doesn't waste your time. For example,  Dr Palms writes briefings on the most important stuff you need to make those initial business decisions you'll face online. Need more information? Dr. Palms will lead you to the right choices he has learned from experience. Then there's Palms  advice which let you implement the right strategies. Dr. Palms  will keep you ahead business trends  and avoid what doesn't work even while others still find them popular.  The Word From "PeterPalms.com" will compare the difference between what the latest e-business news says and what really works . Dr Palms zeroes in on women in e-business as well. Then there's our favorite,  where Dr Palms goes in search of the most out-of-the-box strategies being used by small e-businesses to compete online. In short, if you're new to e-business and you don't know much, you've stumbled into the right neighborhood. So go ahead, and take a stroll down PeterPalms.com. We promise that if you hang out long enough, you'll get to know Dr. Palms and you'll be glad you have.

IMPROVING THE CASH FLOW GENERATED BY WEBPAGES 

is more important than the website design itself

"When it comes to creating online revenue, a great website, without the right HTML meta-tags and without the right promotion to indexes, trade-boards, spiders, web-crawlers, bots, robots, list-servers news-groups, and search engines, is like having a great, easy to remember, telephone number like 100-0000, that is unlisted, or an Automobile without an engine under the hood"...Peter Palms PhD

Things that you need to know, in order create revenue to and through your website  

         When we posted this item 7 years ago, "SPAM" was a word known to few. and we said "DO NOT CALL   
       PROSPECTS". we predicted "spam" would fail. See e-week Oct 20, 2003 for article "Do Not Call prospects"
       It seems companies feel that "Do Not Call" presents an opportunity and opt to wait until the Customer calls them.   
       Aegis Communications of Irving, Texas has deployed People Soft Inc's CRM (Customer Response Management)     
       Version 8.8 to handle inbound call center management. The trend is to inbound marketing in lieu of acquiring 
       customers via telemarketing.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PUT A COMPANY ON THE WEB

It only costs between $300 and $1000 to create a Web-site A website of several pages could cost $3000. An interactive database website using Perl, ASP, Oracle, Java etc. can cost as much as $150,000 or more. . Put $500 into your website and the balance into promoting the site so revenue and profits can pay for upgrades and expansion

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HAVE THE WEBSITE GENERATE INCOME

To make that website generate cash flow requires an annual marketing budget of  6% of the annual sales you want to generate. In other words once you have the web-page it costs $6,000 in marketing expense for each $100,000 in sales you want to generate with it, in order to let people know you exist. Realistic expectation would be for such a budget to generate $12,000 in revenue the first year, growing gradually to $100,000 by the fifth year. 

Palms & Company provides clients with comprehensive targeted marketing services. We find out what words and phrases your potential customers used last month when actually querying search engines. Then we create meta-tags containing the exact phrases used by the prevalent two million queries  so that search engines , but more importantly indexes and web-crawler, robots, spiders,  list-server, newsgroups, and most importantly " links"  will  take those potential customers to you. This includes industry specific directory submissions and targeted requested e-mail. The objective is to build strong foundation for web marketing campaigns and attract cash-flow e-commerce traffic to your web sites.

Basically, we take a look at an existing site for a potential client and take an inventory of what things will need to be done to it in order to rank high in the major search engines for relevant keyword phrases.

These things usually consist of copywriting for one or more pages, and sometimes a redesign is suggested for technical reasons or to give the site a more professional look.

If the text and design are in order, then we go straight to the refinement and focusing on the html code. Although many people assume their site will only need this phase of the work, at least 75% usually need some copywriting services also.

Once we've created the tags and other aspects of the code to the targeted keywords, then we submit each improved page of the site (usually each page of a site), to all of the major search engines and the major directories. We also monitor their progress for a period of three months to ensure that the pages get into the search engine's databases, and send monthly reports of their progress. Additional monthly monitoring on a quarterly basis is also available.

That's the synopsis. Here are the details included approximate prices (although those are subject to change):

It is usually necessary to improve each page of a website for best results in the major search engines. If a site is a very large site, then I recommend doing the work on the major category pages (along with the main front page).

It is essential the we  edit 2 and 3 keyword phrases and not for just one word keywords. 

If your pages are light on text, copywriting is usually necessary. This runs from $70 - $120 per page, depending on how much text is needed on a particular page. We are experienced in writing sales copy which stresses the benefits to the reader, and what you can do for them. We  do this based on the targeted keywords developed for you in your meta-tags.  We also edit the final copy to ensure the proper usage of the keyword phrases. 

You can call Palms & Company during business hours (PST) at 425 828-6774, or e-mail us any time at hi@isomedia.com. and Webdesign@PeterPalms.com


Please feel free to call by phone, or in person (by appointment) and discuss your objectives, barriers you are experiencing, reservations you have about making e-commerce do the job for you.
