Internet Advisory Services

We help businesses grow and prosper.

As pioneers on the web, we share our vast experience. As technologists we know how things work. As business people, we embrace sound business practices and integrate our technical knowledge and experience to provide powerful advice and insights.

Specifically, we offer the following:

Consultation
Companies and organizations hire us to act as an independent advisor for their web presence, and to help determine development needs and future requirements, such as security, migration, website audits and AODA compliance. Our input helps them save money and make the best decisions for their business by reducing unknowns and risks, developing a realistic plan, assigning appropriate resources and managing growth.

Business Plans for Online Enterprises
Projecting success on the internet can be difficult. The conditions of the web differ greatly from traditional business conditions. Digital Spectrum is experienced developing successful business plans for internet ventures and can help your organization develop a fully justified and conventional plan according to standard business practices.

Market Studies and Viability Plans
Sometimes formal research is required to determine a projects potential. For a market study we measure such things such as (projected and real): market size, market share, price points, product or service uniqueness as well as competitive weaknesses and strengths and much more. This allows you to determine if advancing or halting a proposed project is the correct course of action.

Project Management
Many businesses do not have the technical knowledge or experience to oversee a large or complicated web development project. Digital Spectrum can fill the gap by overseeing implementation of the approved plan and assuring success.

We are here to help. That's what we do.

Ongoing Support

Digital Spectrum is committed to providing a high level of customer service to every client. Once your site has launched, we will continue to provide support and advice to your organization. We treat your business as we would our own.

We also provide maintenance plans for your website and to maintain your web server.

Almost every website needs to be updated from time to time. Every three years is a good practise. Products and services change, links need to be added or removed, and functionality needs to be altered to work better or adjust to your needs.

The Server also needs to be inspected, backed-up and updates to the server software need to be installed to prevent hacking.

Usually most companies do not have the in-house expertise or resources to do these things. Furthermore, the few hours per month of work needed, doesn’t justify hiring a dedicated person.

Our web maintence plans can include:

• Liaison with your web hosting company
• Bug fixes, system upates on the server
• Website backups
• Guidance on website management, business operations and marketing
• Search engine optimization (SEO) tweeking to improve traffic
• Adjustments and updates to text and graphics
• Domain renewal, and payment
  

No matter what the scope of your requirements, we can provide a maintenence plan tailored to your needs.
