Concentric® Empowers Small and Mid-Size Businesses with Turnkey Professional Web site Services

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 27, 2008 – Today, Concentric® announced its continued commitment to small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) with the availability of its professional Web site services packages.  These new services from Concentric save SMBs time and money by eliminating the need to find multiple resources for Web site hosting, design, maintenance, and marketing. 

“Building a Web site can be very daunting, especially for a small business. Our professional Web site services were designed to accelerate the design process, allowing businesses to focus on their core competency,” said Barbara Branaman, president of Concentric, an email and hosting provider for over 10 years.  “Our turnkey services are designed for SMBs who need hosting and design or maintenance for their existing Web site.  With these packages we take the hassle out of creating and maintaining a Web site.” 

Expanding on a wide range of technical services available through a custom quotation process, Concentric has developed three Web site service packages. The company’s Web Site Design Package provides customers with Web site design or redesign and includes 17 hours of design and production time and eight hours of maintenance for the Web site over a 12-month term.  The package includes a Concentric hosting account, a “Contact Us” form, configuration of users and email accounts, search engine optimization, and Google Analytics set-up. Thirty minutes of training on Google Analytics is included.

The Web Site Migration Package is for organizations that already have a Web site but want to move it to the Concentric’s hosting platform and need help with routine maintenance and enhancements. Included in this package is a Concentric hosting account, configuration of users and email accounts, and eight hours of maintenance over the 12-month term.  This package also includes optimization for search engines and Google Analytics with thirty minutes of training.

The Concentric Web Site Maintenance Package is ideal for customers who have a Web site and need resources to perform ongoing maintenance or make enhancements.  The Basic Package includes HTML, content updates, and hosting administrative help.  The Advance Package covers more advanced tasks such as ecommerce set-up, PHP coding, databases, and Content Management Systems.  These packages are sold at a discounted rate with a minimum contract time of eight hours and a 12-month agreement.

Herman Rische, owner of Spectrumawards.com, said this about the services he received, “Concentric Professional Services recently moved our Web site out of an existing ecommerce system to a content management framework. These changes have had a large, positive impact on our Web site's performance and efficiency.”
