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 — a practical, scalable, and economical solution for small or mid-sized businesses that have ongoing web site or social media needs, but neither the time or budget to handle them in-house.

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 Drupal to Microsoft SharePoint)
• System reviews,  to enable you to improve the way your site works
• Training, so you can perform updates on your own.
• Documentation —  learn how things work, so you can work them better

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 roadmap documents, so you hav a better plan for getting where you need to go
• 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 have arrived and proven their value as serious marketing tools.

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

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 through such services.

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 needed to help the owners of a web site through circumstances in which they didn't fully have a handle. We pride ourselves on our success in doing so, without gimmicks or pressure.

Don't hesitate to contact us. Discussion is always free — and brainstorming usually is too! No slogans, and no "bait and switch" smokescreens. Ever.
