Directory One prides itself on providing the complete Internet marketing solution for your business. Unlike other companies who may focus on only one or two aspects of your website's presence, or who may try to add unnecessary bells and whistles to your web design, Directory One always develops a customized internet search engine marketing and web development plan created specifically for the needs of your business. In summary, Directory One provides the following services: website design, internet search engine marketing, web hosting services, domain registration, e-commerce solutions, Internet marketing training and technical support.
Website Design
The creation of a website is, of course, the first step to developing a successful web site presence. As with all services provided by Directory
One, the client is involved right from the start. We learn about your products and services, we listen to your expectations and marketing
goals, and together we develop a web site that will best fit the needs of your business.
Directory One takes many things into account during the development of your website. After establishing your internet marketing needs, we work with
you to develop quality graphics, interesting and informative content, and easy-to-update specials- and news-pages. Our website design experts
will also ensure that your site is easily maneuverable, that the overall layout is professional, that the style of the site is representative
of your company, and that the site is manually submitted to all the major search engines.

Internet Search Engine Marketing
Unfortunately, having a well-designed website is only half the battle when it comes to having a successful presence on the Internet. In order
for your website to receive traffic on the Internet, people have to be able to find it. A poorly made website could easily generate more
money than your well-built one simply by being easier to find on an internet search engine or directory such as Yahoo,
Google and AOL.
According to recent research, search engines are the top way consumers find new websites on the internet. Unfortunately for badly-ranked websites,
research also shows that searchers are unlikely to look past the first three pages of the internet search engine results. That's about thirty-sixty
results. That means, even if you are ranked sixty-one out of a million internet search results, your chances of being found by your clientele are very
small.
Directory One ranks hundreds of clients among the top five Internet search engines.

Website Hosting Services - From Web Pages to Dedicated Servers
So you've got the perfect website, but do you have the perfect web host? A good host must to do more than simply maintain your website's
presence on the web. A good host must be dependable, fast and available to help with quick, hassle-free technical support. Further, a
good web hosting company must be able to provide the options that are right for your business and create a custom package tailored to your
budgets and needs.
Directory One's network is of the highest quality. Our servers sit on multiple T1 lines, with more T1's on the way to accommodate for growth.
We can provide superior web hosting solutions for web sites of any size or can serve larger corporate solutions with our dedicated servers.

Domain Registration - Parking or Hosting
A domain name is your web address. A short, easy to remember domain name or names can be invaluable to the success of your website.
Unfortunately for businesses new to the Internet, domain names are selling at an alarming rate.
In 1995, only about 100,000 domain names were registered. By 2001, this figure had jumped to about 31 million. Currently, more than 10,000
domain names are registered a day. Why? Domain names are the real estate of the Internet. Domain names are relatively cheap when initially
registered ($30 a year or less), but good domain names can resell at amazing prices. Business.com
was recently sold for 7.5 million dollars!
Besides thousands of businesses registering domain names every day, people often register and park good domain names in the hopes of
reselling them later. Therefore, it is important that you register your name as soon as possible. You can register your domain name with
Directory One in three ways: by phone, in person, or online. If you need ideas about good domain names, need help or have questions,
call Directory One at 1-800-477-1324.
If you already have a domain name in mind, use the free search tool to see
if your domain name is available. Once you've found a domain name or names you want to buy, simply follow the instructions and
register online.

E-Mail Services
Usually Directory One performs e-mail services as part of a larger Internet solution. If you host a website or buy a domain name through
Directory One, we will help you to receive email at your domain name.
For example, if you own the domain name you would probably want your employees to have their own email addresses. You would most probably
also want email addresses that were directed to certain departments such as: info, sales, resumes etc. You may even like to set up an
email account that is used only for a specific marketing ploy or in a specific advertisement.
Directory One will help you through this process by phone at 1-800-477-1324 or you may find our email set-up
instructions helpful.
Email setup is included for free in our web hosting packages and
website design packages. If you are interested in setting up email accounts
after registering your domain name, you can do so for a small extra fee. Please contact us
regarding this option so we can determine how many accounts and what account-names will best suit your needs.
e-Commerce Solutions
E-commerce refers to a variety of automated business solutions available on many business' websites. For example: secure credit card
authorization and processing, online shopping carts, automatic inventory, and package tracking are all considered e-commerce.
At Directory One we understand that every client has a unique business, and an e-commerce solution that works well for one client may not
provide an adequate return on investment for another.
Directory One provides a variety of e-commerce solutions, some of which may be essential to your website, others that--although they work
well for other businesses--would be unnecessary fluff for yours. Directory One will always work with you personally to determine the most
cost-effective and complete Internet solution for your company.

Database Integration
Directory One can provide you with an online, searchable database of your product inventory. The database will be customized to fit your
needs and can be set up with a variety of information about your products: prices, descriptions, quantity in stock, quantity ordered
over certain time periods, etc.
With an online database not only can Directory One set up your site to automatically inform customers when you are out of stock of a certain
product, but you can also display the quantities of items on which you are running low. A complete database solution can also help you store
customer preferences, create customer log-ins and profiles; and work in concert with e-commerce tools such as shopping carts, opt-in emails
and order forms.
And, of course, you will have full control of your online database. Directory One will train you to: add or delete products, change product
prices and descriptions, utilize the full search capabilities of your database, and review customer information from a web-based
interface.
Internet Marketing Training and Technical Support
Directory One will provide you with a complete understanding of your Internet marketing solution. We will always train you free of charge to
modify your website or database. You never need feel a question is the wrong one, or that we will be bothered by explaining the details to
you. In fact, we love our customers to be involved in their own web site design, internet search engine marketing, and e-commerce
solutions.
At Directory One, we understand how vital it is for business owners to know the ins-and-outs of all aspect of their business including their
web presence. We will empower you with the knowledge that will allow you to make changes on your website and to make your own informed,
decisions about what features your website does or does not need.
Although we are not yet large enough to be open for twenty-four hour technical support,
our staff is readily available six days a week. Directory One is even open on Saturday for the purpose of being more accessible to our
customers, and you will never be waylaid by customer-service-representatives who are afraid of "wasting" their superiors time with your
problem. At Directory One you will always be connected immediately with the technician or internet professional who specializes in the
area you need.
Directory One is also available for help with virus clean-up.
