Platinum Online, Gaithersburg, Maryland.  Attractive and informative web sites for small businesses--at an affordable price for small businesses

Small Business Packages

Why is a web page important to your business?

A web page allows your potential customers to learn about your business without having to call or visit you.  (And if they do call, you can direct them to the web page for more information).  Think of your web page as an electronic “yellow pages” ad—only containing much more information at a fraction of the cost. Remember, many people like to "pre-shop" on the web.

 

Why should I choose Platinum Online?

We don't confuse you with jargon or "geek speak".  You don't have to know anything about the Internet or computers.  We'll take care of all the technical stuff.  A Platinum Online web page will present a professional image of your business regardless of your needs. Our web packages are designed for small businesses that want a simple, but effective, presence on the web at a reasonable cost.  We perform all the necessary functions to bring the web to life for you and you don't need any computer or technical knowledge.. 

 

How do I get started?

Just contact us.  We will arrange a time to visit your business, bring a digital camera for pictures, and  discuss with your requirements for your site.  These would include your logo, company colors, approved photos for use, general site layout, email address, etc.  A deposit will be collected, along with a signed agreement for services to be provided.  A demo site would be created and submitted for final approval by your management.  Once approved, the balance of the fee would be collected and the site will be made available to the public and published to the Internet search engines.
