Website Features

All of our websites include professional hosting, unlimited bandwidth, 99.9% up time, a minimum of 3.5 GB of file storage, a special mobile optimized website and a personal webmaster.  If you are a Knoxville, Gatlinburg, Sevierville or Pigeon Forge or other East TN business you owe it to yourself to try the best and most affordable web designer in the Smokies and East Tennessee.  More business, more revenue, less expense, higher rankings on the major search engines for your website and responsive personalized service. We do not currently build WordPress websites, but will be happy to refer you to a website company that does build WordPress websites.

We specialize in building and maintaining websites for small business owners in the East TN Area. We realize that many small business owners have a limited budget and resources and many times think the cost of a website is expense and beyond their budget. They find website companies and website designers that want thousands of dollars or they decide to build their own website to save money. There are also companies who will build you a website for as little as $399.  Be careful when choosing these website companies, as that price does not include: website hosting, website maintenance and rarely any website SEO for the website to get you ranked on the search engines. 

 

Remember a website that is not highly ranked on the search engines, is virtually useless to drive customers and revenue to your business. There are many factors to building a professional and optimized website that most people who try to build their own website do not know how to do it correctly and they spend time trying to build a website, rather than spending time on their business.

Our motto is "We Take Care of Your Website, You Take Care of Your Business"

 

Well there is another very affordable alternative for your small business, Smoky Mountain Websites. You can call us at 615.330.6289 or email us at steve@simpledesignwebsites.com if you would like more information on a website for your East TN small business.

Important Information for Restaurant Websites

If you are a restaurant owner who is considering a website or already have a website, you need to make sure the website company is willing to put your menu online in text format. Most website companies will build you a restaurant website and then make a pdf or image copy of your restaurant menu and put it on your website. Many times those pdf and image files are large and contain graphic images making them slow to load on a website, especially a Smartphone website.  In our opinion, this is NOT advisable and not the correct way to have a restaurant menu on your website.  Restaurants should have their menus on line in text format.  It is frustrating and unnecessary to make users have to download some image or pdf file to see your menu on their laptop and even more so on their Smartphones.  

 

So why do website companies not put your restaurant menu on line in text? Because it is quick and easy and because they would have to charge you for the conversion of the file to text and format the text to properly appear on your website.  Additionally they would also have to update the menu when you change menu items or prices, rather than just uploading a new pdf or image file.  It is much easier and cheaper for them to simply upload a new file.  Great for them, bad for you and your customers. All our restaurant websites have their menu's online in text format and when we price a restaurant website this feature is included, period.  Our restaurant websites and online menus alone, sets us apart from many other website companies in East Tennessee that build restaurant websites.

 

In addition to the frustration your users might experience by not having your menus online in text format, did you know that search engines can't read the text contained in a pdf file or image? That's right, so all the menu information that could potentially help your website SEO rankings cannot be read or indexed by the search engines.
