Optimize Your Flash Website
We no longer accepting SEO clients for the first half of 2008. Please take a look at our SEO DVD designed for professional photographers with Flash websites. It demonstrates many of the steps we use and includes access to our exclusive optimization forum.
No matter what type of photography you offer, your customers are trying to find you online. And contrary to what many believe, having a beautiful Flash website does not mean your site will be inaccessible to some or that your search engine rankings have to suffer.
At BIG Folio, we know Flash websites and how to optimize them. Our optimization service can help your site attract more potential customers. We will analyze your Flash site, make necessary optimization changes, and deliver a plan for ongoing improvements.
$499 for BIG Folio Website Customers
Photographers with a BIG Folio or Ten Bricks website template may purchase our optimization service for a one-time fee of $499.
$599 for Flash Websites (subject to approval)
Photographers with non-BIG Folio Flash website may purchase the service for a fee of $599. NOTE: Non-BIG Folio website customers must meet our requirements and the sites are subject to approval. In rare cases, optimization of your site will require additional time, in which case you will receive a custom optimization quote.
Free BIG Folio Blog
We believe blogging is a great way to improve your search engine results. All Flash optimization customers who do not currently have a blog will receive a free BIG Folio Blog account. Our blog service makes posting images, collages, links and articles easier than ever.
The Process
Our Flash optimization service is performed in-house by our expert team. Once you purchase the service, we will schedule your site for optimization (we're a small team) and send you a thorough survey for the purpose of understanding your site's goals and needs. Once we have received your completed survey and performed an analysis of your site, we will implement our recommended changes, backing up any necessary files. Finally, you will receive a 1-page report outlining the changes we performed and the reasons behind them, and a guide to improving your search engine rankings even further.
Changes to your site will include (but are not limited to):
- Ensuring your Flash website is optimized for indexing by search engines
- Ensuring your Flash home page is standards compliant
- Ensuring your Flash content is properly embedded
- Ensuring your pages are layed out using appropriate markup and CSS
- Implementing Flash Player detection for website visitors
- Providing alternate (non-Flash) content for visitors who do not have the appropriate Flash Player
- Implementing an HTML landing page (aka entry page) as your homepage (OPTIONAL)
- Configuring your Flash site to open in a new window (OPTIONAL)
- Installing a blog on your website (OPTIONAL)
Requirements and Questions
Non-BIG Folio Websites
Our optimization service was designed for Flash websites whose content resides within a single Flash files (.swf file) embedded in an HTML web page. We know that sounds a bit geeky, so if you're not sure how your site is configured, don't worry. Every Flash website must be approved before we proceed and before you pay.
Why is the service cheaper for BIG Folio customers?
Because we know the inner workings of our own sites and have immediate access to our servers, optimizing our own sites takes less time.
