Austin Marketing provides Internet-based marketing and promotional services for small businesses.

We provide affordable web design and web hosting, working closely with clients to create web sites that emphasize the services and products that separate them from the competition.

Using PHP programming and the MySQL database, we also offer catalogs at affordable rates, customized for each client. We can also provide a customized shopping cart that works beautifully with the customer's catalog database.

We recommend selling via PayPal for businesses just getting started with online sales. When orders justify the added expense and complication, we can help you establish a merchant account and take credit card payments.

If you need to let customers know about special events like bands or sales, try our online calendar. It allows the viewer to click on icons for further information, audio clips, band websites, and even sign up for an email reminder a few days before the event.


How much ???
  • A basic website is $399, including consultations, photography, and design. Additional web design and custom programming are billed at $40/hour.

    No other advertising reaches customers as cost-effectively as a website.   At these rates, every small business can afford one.

  • Our web hosting is $25/month, including annual domain name registration, ongoing Google optimization, and website maintenance services. For most small businesses, that includes all the storage and Internet bandwidth you'll ever need.

    Also included are a reasonable number of monthly tweaks and updates that just take us a few minutes to do. Otherwise, we'd have to bill you at $40/hour, with a quarter hour minimum.

    (You'll appreciate this feature over time...)

  • Refer a new client to us and get $5 off monthly hosting fees for a full year.
    (That's a $60 value!)
  • Modest monthly fees are also charged for services like an interactive calendar, a database-driven catalog, or a custom email-based promotional system. You only pay for the services you use.
What goes into a website?
  • First, we'll work with you to determine what makes your business compelling.

    Got a "quick lube" shop for autos and trucks? We'll add convincing statistics that explain the economic advantages of regular oil changes.

    Is it a PC sales/repair business? We'll stress how your expertise and continuing support makes each purchase a partnership, not just another sale by some big box retailer.

    Are you running a UPS Store franchise with your wife and a kid on the staff? We'll add some amiable photos to the website to personalize your business, giving web visitors that all-important human connection.

    Get the idea?

  • Your website begins with an index page that quickly establishes the key benefits of your products and services. Include a few brief customer testimonials, and web visitors will learn the key facts about you in seconds, without leaving the index page.

    Add a "first time customer" coupon to encourage a visit in person, and you're on your way to new clientelle.

  • We'll produce one or more general information pages about your products and services, for visitors intrigued by the index page but needing a little more convincing.

  • Included is a location page with a map to your business, and contact information including an email address tied to your website.

  • Every business needs a FAQ page (frequently asked questions) to explain special features that don't fit neatly into a general information web page.

  • A "Bonus!" page includes promotions specific to your business, such as the "sale du jour" or referral rewards for sending friends to your business.
Does this stuff work?
  • No marketing scheme can guarantee you a dramatic increase in sales. Be wary of anybody making that claim.

  • The good news is: every business is unique, with some special products and services that can be emphasized effectively on the web.

  • Combined with incentive-based referral systems and promotional emails, Austin Marketing   can make your web presence a valuable marketing tool.
