2) COMPANY WEBSITE

 

Your website is “ground zero” for your company’s marketing activities. It provides the first impression most customers will have of your company and is your principal lead generator. To support your company’s sales goals, your website needs to be found easily by people who are actively looking for what you have to offer. It must contain information and functions that customers need to do business with you. It should encourage repeat visits.

TPG creates powerful, robust commercial websites with customers in mind. We can design your site to meet the demands of mobile devices, integrate with social media, automatically direct visitors to local offices, and capture leads. With a website from TPG, you’ll attract more qualified customers, capture more valuable leads and drive more sales!

Costs for a corporate or commercial website — inclusive of strategic consultations and content development — tend to range from $8,000 to $16,000. Large enterprise sites that have database-driven forms and integrations can cost more. Depending on your response time, we can generally have your site up and running within 2-6 weeks.
