We will work with you before, during AND after creation. We will maintain and make any changes to the site as your schedule allows. For example, if you are having a sale, we put that up on the site. When the sale is over, we remove any information pertaining to the expired sale. This is all included in the costs.

I am sure as you are aware by now website content can be very vague, that is why we include most of the bells and whistle to avoid our clients from ever saying " I wish I had that or thought of that", or "I thought I paid for that". For some, the computer is very intimidating and our job will be to make a website as user friendly (and "oops proof") as possible for the least amount of expense and for the most amount of content and on-line functionality.

Depending on your needs, we can include:

Website Design

Website Development

Website Maintenance.

Website Hosting (Where the website resides)

Email addresses

Website plug-in to your OfficeMate Office program

On-line Ordering forms to your database or Office program

Database Creation and Integration

Passworded Private areas

Intranet Communications

Email Blasts services, email newsletters, etc...

On-line chat, Discussion boards, Bulletin boards, etc...

Customized On-line Frame, Glasses, Contact Lens Orders, etc...

Customized On-line or Off-line programming...

Almost unlimited website size.

Almost unlimited Free Website Bandwidth (this is the amount of traffic that goes to and from your site). Many Website hosting companies charge extra after a set amount of bandwidth has been exceeded...we have not. Our allowance is such that we have never needed to charge any of our clients as of yet.

24/7 Tech Support. Of course we do answer all emails, but we also pride ourselves on being accessible by phone as well.

One of the principals of EyeVertise is a practicing Optician since 1976 and we have a multitude of consultants that are practicing Ophthalmologists, Optometrists, Opticians as well as Optometric office staff. Two of our principals are computer scientists so even though much of our work is related directly to the Optical Community, we also engage in programming and development for those outside the optical industry.

We are not a conglomerate company. We know that for many future patients, your website will be the first contact they may have with your office. We want the first impression to be a "Wow" one. We believe strongly that your website should represent your office and integrity in the most positive light possible. Modesty aside, we are thorough at what we do. We care as much as you do about the quality and functionality of your website. Remember our name is on it and you are the best recommendation. We offer personal, friendly and custom service. Many of the bells and whistles we offer are too numerous to explain but we offer them to ensure a positive user experience because we know you may not know what they are and we know your user would benefit.

  Example 1:
Our forms are all customized. Instead of your user filling out a complicated form and submitting it with mistakes and incomplete information, our forms are user-friendly, personal and interactively helpful. Once a form is filled out, the user will click on the "Click to View" to continue with the online process. At this point, they will be brought to a page that will show them everything that is on the form that they are sending BEFORE sending it. Here, the form becomes more personal. For example, when they click on the "click to view", instead of saying "Office order", it will say "www.YOU.com Order for Anita C. Clearly. It will also say "Thank you Anita for ordering on line! You are one click away!", or something to that effect. If they are now satisfied with the information that they wish to send is correct, AND (because of our "validation Scripts") completed correctly, they will click the "send now" button. Now, they will be sent to a thank you page and an email will be sent to you with links to the HIPAA Compliant secured information and a confirmation email will be simultaneously sent to the user as well, as this will suffice for your patient's confirmation. The "subject" of the "thank you" email will be what ever you want, and the "from" line will be from "your practice.com", or whatever you prefer!

  Example 2:
You recall the "reset" button" on a few forms, right? If clicked, they erase everything that was filled out on a form, to start over. Many times this button is clicked inadvertently erasing all the input provided by your user which can be frustrating and time consuming. We will have an alert pop up giving them the choice to start over, or continue. This should protect many of your users from starting over or just plain giving up.

  Example 3:
Also, note the insurance form...most patients have single coverage insurance, but many do have multiple, secondary, and/or medical coverage. Why have this long mundane form, or multiple forms for all possible coverage when many do not need it? However, you do need an ability to accommodate insurance requirements. So, the patient sees the form, and fills it out. If they have secondary insurance, then the put a check in the box "Click here if you have secondary and/or medical insurance", and the form dynamically expands for this purpose, therefore it is like three forms in one!

As mentioned earlier, there are other bells and whistles that we can include, but are too numerous to mention here.

More people than you may realize use search engines to find what they are looking for. 'Free'" sites are NOT search friendly and may not always reflect your office correctly. Instead of finding you, they find your competitor. To be blunt, the "Free" websites offer little in creativity which leads to positive office representation, and little if any personalization or content input. Nothing is free...cheap maybe, but not free.

REPRESENTATION, COMMUNICATION and CONTACT!!! The benefits are the same as the benefits of a telephone ON STEROIDS, because it also brings along a 24/7 office staff that you do not have to pay salary or medical benefits for. Patients do not hope a thriving office has a website...they expect it, and they drive the bus to success. During closed hours your patients and future patients can interact with your office through your website. During office hours patients can also interact with your office through the website which can dramatically cut down costs, phone time and "fill-out-form" time in the office; as well as freeing up personal for other important office functions. The website not only can promote your office, but can educate your patients as well.

The Web is where your future and current patients, AND your competitors are..

Over 200,000,000 American homes have internet access and already account for over 8% of total retail sales.

The average Internet Surfer spends over 10 hours online weekly searching for goods, services, and information.

If you have a business card, you need a web site.

If you have a brochure, you need a web site.

If you have a telephone, you need a web site.

A web site will help you attract new patients, retain current patients and customers and sales. Not only that, it'll help you get the right patients-- the ones who want your service. A web site is like your salesman that is there to help people find you 24/7.

Nope...Nothing...Zip...Nada...That's all included in your maintenance fees.

Good for you! If you are happy with your site and the new patients it creates and it saves you time at the office than stay with it! There is an old expression...If it works, don't fix it!. However, if your existing site needs a "Face-lift" or if the site looks like your 10 year old nephew did it, or if it only looks good if you have cataracts, then contact us or another reputable optometric web designer. A BAD website CAN and DOES COST you more than you may realize.

All of our website designs are customized to your office's cosmetics and integrity. While there may be some similarities, you will not see your design on your competitors websites.
