Developing or refining an economic development Web site is a critical need for many communities and organizations. Smart Solutions Group provides the following website development services

• In consultation with the economic development leadership we create a detailed site map outlining the content for the site.
  
• We develop all needed content for the Web site including researching and copywriting.
  
• We provide consultation and guidance on integrating the Internet into your marketing-sales strategies to maximize awareness of your business location advantages.
  
• Smart Solutions Group has developed collaborative arrangements with some of the Midwest’s foremost web development groups. These technology providers and Smart Solutions Group have developed a number of effective economic development website formats that fit virtually all community needs. As part of our web site implementation process we will work directly with the web site technicians on the design and lay-out of the site to ensure your site provides a positive, informative “virtual business prospect site visit.” The objective will be to design a site that is rich in information and data, easy to navigate, providing the information business prospect/site location consultants need to evaluate business location opportunities in your area. Importantly, this service also provides training to enable local individuals to make basic information inputs and changes to the web site, thus allowing for timely updates on a local basis.

The estimate timeframe to complete the scope of work is approximately 6-8 weeks.

Fees for Smart Solutions Group’s content development and project management services range from $3,000 to $8,000 plus expenses, depending on the amount of information that needs to be created or researched for the website. The high end estimate would include research and updating the community LOIS information. Production costs for the website, using a variety of formats created by our technical partners would run $2,500. Hosting fees with will be negotiated on an individual community basis.
