Site Design | Carolina Orthopedics

Dr. Clark D. Moore drew on more than 30 years of medical experience when he founded Carolina Orthopedics, a full-service orthopedic clinic that provides personalized, high-quality orthopedic care to patients in Aiken and across the CSRA. Alive Media worked closely with Carolina Orthopedics to create a user-friendly site design that gives a current or prospective patient information regarding orthopedic treatments and options, as well as patient forms. The website header was purposefully designed for ease of use, and the Sports Medicine page uses a modern gallery format to highlight patient success photos!

Site Design | Endurance Fitness

Endurance Fitness is both a gym and an empowering fitness community that combines a high intensity, strength training program with nutritional coaching, accountability and goal setting. Alive Media designed a logo & website that builds positive brand image and clearly communicates the benefits of choosing Endurance Fitness over other gyms in the area. Site usability was also key, as members use the website to see class schedules, register for classes, sign up for meetings with a staff trainer and more.

In today’s digital age, your website must give prospective clients the confidence to engage with your company. Alive Media is experienced in helping new businesses build modern, professional websites. Contact us today.

Case Study: Spratlin and Son Construction

Client Name: Spratlin and Son Construction – Lincolnton, Georgia

The Challenge: Spratlin and Son Construction is a well-respected and established commercial construction company that has been serving the needs of businesses and communities for more than 40 years. The client expressed that their initial website was in need of an overhaul, and wanted a professional designer and developer to refine their website presence as well as provide ongoing hosted support and updates. In addition, while they had a basic logo, there was little consistent branding through their company. They wanted to update their brand to one that is recognizable throughout their industry.

The Solution: After the initial discovery process, we worked with our client to design new branding that was applied to a new logo (including a reversed version useful for company vehicles and equipment), new business cards and additional company collateral pieces. We also designed and developed a custom, responsive website which showcases their project portfolio, construction/design services and company profile.

Which Payment Processor Should I Use On My Website

One of the questions I often get asked is “Which payment processor should I use on my website to accept online payments?” As a business owner, maybe you’re developing a new e-commerce store or just want to incorporate the ability to take payments online. As you begin to do research solutions to use, I want to give you some options to consider. Check out the video below to see what some good options are and also to learn some of the vital questions to ask.

So as you begin to consider options for a payment processor for your website and business, here are some really important questions to ask and get clarity on:

Is it mobile ready? If you are in a business where you need to be able to take payments when away from your office or using your mobile phone/iPad, will you able to process a payment easily on that device?

Is it easy to use for customers and easy to get paid? What is this process going to be like for my customers when they check out? When they make a payment, is it going to be easy for them to do? For you the business owner, is it going to be easy for me to get the funds transferred to my bank account?

What kind of fees and cost are associate with using this processor? Be sure to ask about the fine print. Ask how much it costs per transaction and how much it is on a monthly basis. Some payment processors charge a monthly fee just to have that service while others just charge a small fee per transaction.

Will this processor grow with my business and are there limits? As business owners, we hope our businesses will grow. It is important to know will a payment processor scale and grow as my business grows or will there be a limit on how much I can process per month.

As you begin to research with merchant account or payment processor to use, take your time, do your research and then ask the right questions. As you do that, you’ll be able to identify the best payment processor for your business growth and that will fit your needs.

Hoping that you find the best fit for your website and business!

How To Measure Your Website Traffic

You have launched your website, and now you are ready to see who is visiting, what pages they are spending the most time on, what the most popular content on your site is and how did they find you in the first place?? This is a question I often get asked by our clients in one form or another: How can I see who is visiting my website?

In the video below, I’m going to give you two methods to use to measure your website traffic. One of the ways is the “technical” way, the other is one that is not quite as technical, but is HUGE in the information it can provide about your website, your visitors and ultimately about your marketing efforts.

Measuring website traffic doesn’t have to be overly technical and confusing. Something as simple a beginning to track where most of your website traffic sources are coming from (ie: Google Search, Facebook, Radio Ad, Billboard, etc.) with a spreadsheet will begin to give you a birds eye view of what is working well for your business and what needs some work.

I really appreciate your time! If there is something we can do to serve you and your business, give us a call or contact us online.

Much success to you!
