Already have a web site, but lack the time to maintain it?

Webmastering is one of our core skill sets. ThirdCathode offers:

• Flexible options to help you keep things up to date
• Inexpensive, ad hoc content editing services
• "Webmaster on retainer" service — ideal for small or mid-sized businesses with ongoing web site needs, but not enough work to hire a full time web producer.

Looking to maintain a site yourself?

The beauty of the web flows from its wealth of options. Depending on your needs:

• Basic database-driven publishing solutions
• Content management systems (we have experience in a range of CMSes, from proprietary systems to Drumla to Microsoft SharePoint)
• Training, so you can perform updates on your own.

Are you well positioned?

At ThirdCathode, one of our core differentiators is our business skills. At the forefront is our ability to review your overall marketing situation and make clear, actionable recommendations, based on things you can control — and measure:

• We can review your brand, your web site, and your overall strategy
• We can perform analyses and prepare business documentation
• We can assist with writing and editing for any type of audience

Who is viewing your web site?

Do you know?  We can help you identify new audiences, risks, and tackle a host of other concerns. Our services include:

• Detailed Marketing Analysis, to determine the best strategy for meeting your business goals
• Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) with Google, Bing, and other leading services
• Web traffic reporting with Google Analytics — we're Google Analytics Experts and can deploy it on any web site
• RSS feeds and other specialized tools

If you are a business with ongoing needs, you can also contract with us — let us manage your Search Engine Marketing, so you don't have to.

Are you Social networking?

Social networks are the marketing tool of the 21st Century.

• We can help you establish your brand on Facebook, Twitter, and other leading social networking sites
• If you'd like we can manage your social networking campaigns
• We can also advise you on when — and when not — to use various services to reach new audiences

Often, the best way to harness social media is to simply help your site's visitors spread the word about you, with social bookmarking. In this case, adding a free link sharing service like ShareThis or AddThis can be an ideal solution. This may involve some setup, but once it's done, it requires no additional effort whatsoever. And in most cases, you can even view statistics on how many referrals you're getting.

Special Projects and Unique Requirements

In addition to our regular services, we may be able to assist you with specialized requirements — even if you aren't totally sure of the details of what you need. Here, too, our business skills make us uniquely qualified where other web consultancies might simply be niche players.

We've encountered several situations where we had to help a web site owner through circumstances in which they didn't fully have a handle. We pride ourselves on our success in doing so, without gimmicks or pressure.

Never hesitate to contact us. Discussion is always free — and brainstorming usually is too! No slogans, and no "bait and switch" smokescreens. Ever.
