Here is our menu …

The WordPress dashboard makes text editing easy with its control area which resembles a familiar word processing window.

Self-managed sites, also referred to as “content management systems,” are on everyone’s minds these days. Clients want to save time and money by handling updates and additions to their sites without the cost and delays that can be experienced when dealing with web design maintenance plans, or cloud-hosted support providers.

Unlike some companies that claim to offer WordPress sites as part of their mix, EVERY one of the sites we create — from single-page “billboard” sites to fully interactive ones — is built using the superb WordPress platform. It is user-friendly and cross-platform (which means you can use your PC, your friend’s Mac, or any mobile device to update your info). Our expertise in designing original themes AND training our clients is unsurpassed. This means you get control of your content, and built-in blog functionality to boot.

Happy Dog Directory builds advertising revenue with help from the online directory WOM added to its site.

At Watershed Online Media, we don’t believe in loading a site with flashing icons and wiggling animation just because we can. The content and design has to make sense, and the site should help build relationships with prospective customers, rather than push them away due to clutter, noise, and distractions. While our arsenal of design and development tools includes all the bells and whistles you can think of, we prefer to use them judiciously for maximum impact.

Of course, the beauty of having a site built on the WordPress platform is that the best bells and whistles – slide shows, event calendars, business directories, image galleries, and more – can be added at any time at far less expense than with standard HTML sites. So whether you decide to go for the full Monty at launch time, or if you want to expand your site’s functionality as your business grows, we can plug in special functions quickly and affordably.

A good e-commerce site, like this one built for Howda Designz, provides a clear layout, multiple images, and extra features to help make the sale.

If you want to raise money online – selling products, billing for services, raising contributions, building a membership base, or all of the above – you have never had more e-commerce tools at your disposal. However, confusion can sometimes accompany choice.

Watershed Online Media has created shopping carts, fundraising websites, ticket sales venues, and many other e-commerce resource for our clients, from simple Paypal buttons to powerful shopping carts integrated with credit card, shipping, and newsletter marketing modules. We would be pleased to explain your options, and help you select the best e-commerce solution for your business and budget.

WOM created a podcasting feature for Rest.Stop.Ranch and taught client Mary MacDonald how to produce and upload her own audio files.

Although content is king in the eyes of search engines, the eyes and ears of your website visitors need some TLC as well. When you add media elements such as guided tours, instructional tips, Q&A interviews, classroom lectures, boardroom interviews etc., you expand your site’s appeal and the prospects of building a strong base of regular customers.

There are two ways to add media elements to your site: embed files that visitors can download to their preferred device to enjoy off-line, or configure the files so that audio and video elements are “streamed” (e.g., broadcast) while the visitor is on your site. Each approach has its advantages. We have helped clients with both options, and can help you — with less than a Star Wars budget — hop on the media bandwagon.

Book publicist Skye Wentworth, an active user of Twitter, keeps her latest tweets front and center on the blog site WOM built.

Today’s website isn’t a static, inert entity. It should be a dynamic, lively place where you provide visitors with multiple ways to communicate with you and benefit from your services. To improve the dynamics of your site, there are a number of social networking elements you can add: newsletter subscriptions via providers such as Constant Contact, MailChimp, or Feedblitz; Twitter feeds; forums and polls. With the help of API keys, the content you generate on your website can automatically feed to your LinkedIn or Facebook pages (and vice-versa).

The challenge is to install these features so that your visitors’ experience isn’t choppy or confusing. We can show you how to get your website functions integrated, keeping visitors on your site longer and thereby helping you build the type of stats that search engines (or advertisers) want to see.

WOM provided custom photography services for Dragonfly Handknits when we helped fiber artist Constance Strychalski launch her one-page site.

Strong, compelling copy and eye-catching images are the backbone of a good website. Watershed Online Media provides a full array of creative services that enable companies of all sizes to project the best possible online identity.

If you prefer to write your own text, we can fine-tune the content to strengthen and clarify your message. If you need help with selecting images, we can assist with custom photography, stock image selection, or logo design. For more DIY help, Watershed Online Media offers private training sessions that help you strengthen your skills at selecting and cropping images, writing press releases, and choice of the best keywords and tags for search engine optimization.
