WEB SERVICES

GECS, LLC will provide your business, club, function, family, corporation or self a website in a reasonable and professional way. We will bring you in slowly, if that is what you need. We will provide expert analysis of your situation, demographic and design ideas to assist you in the development of a truly original website you can be proud of. We believe that an easy to use, functional web design produces better than fancy over done sites that leave your intended audience aghast and bewildered. We work with web browser developers to stay abreast of the latest in compatibility for all major browsers.
Studies indicate that if your clientele, customers, investors, or surfers come to your website and do not find what they want within 30 seconds or if they find the site confusing, that they will leave and are likely to never return.
An easy to use, well organized site that communicates to its target audience is essential to a profitable and useful website, whether for advertising, lead generation or sales.

Considerations

We would like you to consider that part of the fees you pay for a website, its creation and maintenance is reinvested on education, browser research, development, programming development, upgrading our capabilities and software that streamlines our ability to produce and stay ahead of the curve for the technology and compatibility necessary in an ever-evolving industry. Standards change. Programming language capabilities are updated and improved regularly. We stay up to date so you don't have to be concerned with the day to day changes the web goes through. We will update your site and as part of the maintenance, we will upgrade as required to assure that your site is modern in its appearance and functionality. You may never see a difference, but you will know that the coding of your site is what it is supposed to be, so that modern browsers work properly and you can depend on your site functioning as intended.

Once you have paid the fee, you are clear of that encumbrance, as we assume the responsibility for whatever resolutions or adjustments that are needed.
