William Ross Solutions - Web design and media development

Website Development

I've learned over the past fifteen years that many business owners and managers are frustrated by the expense and manpower requirement the Internet has brought. Many are also frustrated not having a firm grasp on what options that are available to them as a small or medium sized business, and don't have the time to thoroughly research those options. That said, William Ross Solutions tries to fill the website development gap facing the small and medium sized businesses looking to add their presence to the Internet without having to pay the thousands of dollars business sites usually cost.

Joomla Control Panel By utilizing the Joomla Content Management System your web sites can be developed quickly. Once developed and launched the website can further be maintained by you or your staff with little or no formal training. The Joomla CMS is a very intuitive website application and through the administrator control panel your site can be edited as easily as you would an e-mail message.

Although a Joomla site is one option for the businesses or organizations looking to develop an online presence, William Ross Solutions also develops custom PHP based web sites, utilizing MySQL databases, develop registration and other applications and more.

In short, whatever you are looking for.....

...... I can get you there.

Joomla Packages

Starter

The Starter package is much like the site you are currently looking at:

A 5-7 page site set up from scratch to up and running, with search engine optimization, header graphic and navigation layout. A basic static "presentation site".

Once the starter site is up and running you have all of the Joomla modules at your disposal to advance your site to include RSS feeds, forums, databases, slide shows, videos and more, in the future.

If you are not sure what you want in the way of an online presence, the Starter package is the best first step. You get yourself online affordably, and still maintain the ability to grow into whatever you'd like.

Hosting

Hosting is provided on my William Ross Solutions Server located in Ottawa. I began hosting my clients sites both to ensure Joomla compatability but also to ensure site performance as shared hosting can be a bit of a mystery when you don't know who you're sharing the space with.

Hosting services can be customized to your particular site needs. The Basic package is only $9.49 per month and is the appropriate setting for the Joomla Starter package:

Basic Hosting Package:

50 MB of Web Space
35 GB of Bandwidth/Month
10 E-mail Addresses
1 MySQL Database

$9.49/month (billed annually)

As mentioned hosting packages can be customized to your specific needs. If you need more space, more bandwidth, more e-mail addresses for example, we can adjust the site hosting package settings. Cost will be adjusted accordingly.
