You might also need some hosting services for these new sub domains, let me know how much you pay a month with your hosting company and I'll see if I can get you a better deal. Included will be the sub domains set up and all DNS transfers, you site would have 0% downtime and it takes less than 48 hours. Uptime is 99.99% and basic maintenance is included.

This is only the test site and some modifications can and will be made to the content.

I installed some advanced database modules and options but can take them out if you want.

I can work on the French side after you approve the English version.

Merci,

Bruno

Voici un ébauche basic layout  que j'ai préparé et dit moi ce que tu en

pense.  

Si on parle de 500$ ca me va

Comme je te disais mon but est de rajeunir le site et qu'il se retrouve en tête dans les principaux engins de recherche (google, live search, yahoo

Merci pour la conversation, mon Francais est beaucoup rouiller...donc au point de vue business et internet je vais vous expliquer surtout en Anglais si c'est correct?

You can submit a basic layout so that I have an idea what you are looking for in your website. Or I can get a draft for you to look at.

What I mean by that is what colors do you want for the text. I recommend black or dark gray for the main text and blue for the links. These are the standard and conservative (good for business) colors that are usually used for commercial sites.

Your logo colors are already established, blue, white and red. I recommend using the same colors for the website, it is a proven and tested color combination. It will give the site a consistent and professional look graphically. Some other colors will be used sparingly and strategically to give the layout a little zest.

Graphic size will be kept to a minimum to make sure you have a fast loading site. Optimization and resizing of the pictures will be done in Photoshop to give the files the fastest loading speeds as possible.

The site will be built in the traditional commercial layout consisting of a banner, navbar and main frame.

This is the basic plan for the site that I recommend. The website will be built using a CMS (content management system). That way you can expand pretty much infinitely in the future. You can have 5 pages or 5000 pages.

You might never need them but it's good to have so that you won't need to have a redesign in the future. With a CMS only the layout has to be changed if you ever wish to change the look of the site in the future. The site structure, database and search engine optimization will remain the same.

Being found in Google and major search engines.

The best way to make the site rank well on search engines is to give plenty of information on the product. It's recommended to have about 500 words per page and a minimum of 5 pages. Using keywords in the text is of course also important, as a general guideline a targeted keyword should be repeated from 5-10 times per page.

I can make the site search engine friendly using the following methods:

- Submit your site to all major search engines

- Give you Alternate (Alt) image tags a description

- Use descriptive keywords in your H1 tags

- Use >H2 heading tags for important parts of site

- Make sure all pages have over 500 words

- Include full address on every page of site

- Include link to index file on every page of site

- Submit your site to all major directories

- Create XML Google sitemap and plain text Yahoo Site Map, create static HTML site map for human visitors

- Sound navigational structure

- Article Submission to major online publishers

- Use <strong> or <bold> tags on keywords

The rest of the work is ongoing. Article writing, forum postings, human directories submissions, press releases, RSS feeds, fresh content, one way link campaign building and more.

This is something that we can discuss in the future and would be an ongoing monthly service. Some of it I can teach you free of charge how to or I can do it for you if you are too busy. We can discuss the price for ongoing services at a later date. But using the methods mentioned above should be enough to get you higher in search results.

The price for this website redesign is about $500-$1000, more than likely closer to $500. Anything more than that would be options that you have the choice to purchase or not. After the site is done and functional I can show you what extra features are available.

Payment can be made via Paypal, escrow, certified check or bank transfer. I usually collect 50% up front and 50% upon completion but only after you approve the layout.

I can start work on this project tomorrow.

Waiting for your reply,
