Website Training

Most people want to have the flexibility of editing or maintaining your own website and sending out your own e-newsletter, therefore saving time, money, and frustration working with an outside vendor who cannot always provide a quick turnaround. This is why Evolv offers comprehensive training that includes:

Researching the most affordable and easy-to-use service/CMS to fit your needs.
Setting up the templates and coding needed to use these services.
Providing training, whether in-person or through online web conferencing.

For most small business websites, we recommend Adobe Contribute ($199/user) due to it's user-friendly features and time-tested quality. For other small to medium size websites, we recommend Wordpress which we can install for you at your domain.

Website Design

Websites should not only showcase your work but provide needed information to your clients and most importantly sell your product/service. The web design should be elegant in style and organized in structure while the web development should employ user-friendly navigation, be search engine optimized, and easy to edit. Below is the process Evolv uses in developing your website:

e-Newsletters

E-newsletters/e-promos are a great way to keep your existing clients up-to-date while encouraging continual business with them. They also cost 90% less than traditional print mailings and the distribution process is faster and more efficient, while remaining environmentally-friendly by decreasing transportation and printing emissions. However, you need to present your e-newsletter as professionally as your website, with the same branding and content targeted towards your existing clients.
