WebsiteForge Makes the Grade for PCI Compliance

Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is an important part of maintaining e-commerce websites and the integrity of the security of websites that process payment cards. WebsiteForge has recently been audited by an independent consultant and is PCI compliant.

Howell, Michigan, January 6, 2009 – PCI compliance is crucial for web based businesses to maintain the integrity of their payment systems, data security and privacy. With more and more businesses depending on e-commerce to conduct transactions, having a website and a website designer that is PCI compliant is crucial for secure and smooth business transactions. Merchants, banks and website designers periodically go through audits to see if their systems are PCI compliant. WebsiteForge has recently been tested for PCI compliance by an independent PCI consultant and has passed every test. This is an important factor for clients when they are considering a website and e-commerce development company.

WebsiteForge was put to the test and found to be in compliance with PCI standards for integrity and data safety. In addition, ten WebsiteForge clients had their websites tested and passed compliance audits from First Data, the auditing arm that dictates the compliance standards. WebsiteForge went through vigorous scanning and testing and passed all compliance measures.

PCI compliance was established to protect merchants and customers during credit card and financial transactions over e-commerce websites and scanning devices. To be in compliance, merchants must meet levels of security when they store, process and transmit credit card data. Scanning of sites for vulnerability in security is a key component to PCI compliance. WebsiteForge underwent this scanning and their systems were found to be safe and secure for their clients who are conducting e-commerce and transactions over the Internet.

WebsiteForge is constantly upgrading its systems to stay in compliance and offer their clients safe and reliable e-commerce solutions. By being PCI compliant, WebsiteForge clients can trust that their transactions are compliant and meet the standards as laid forth by the industry. Transaction security and privacy of data is paramount in this day and age of the computer hacker and identify theft. WebsiteForge offers all their website clients an added layer of security by being PCI compliant and offering secure and sound e-commerce solutions.

Hey Too Funny,

I was driving home last night and got a call from Boise ID. Some guy found my site on the internet. Any ways he was trying to tell me I was paying too much for my site and that it is all about SEO and they focus on that, and I am just listening and that he can build a site just like you did for me, only, get this, $69.95 a month for hosting, $10 more than what you charge. His hook is that the real money to be made in the industry is hosting so they want more people to be hosted with them long term so that is why the charge so little for the site. I told him to send me his info and links; I wanted to forward it to you. He never did send me anything as of yet. He said, how long you have been with WebsiteForge, he said they are doing you no good you are not even showing up anywhere, I told him we just turned on the site less than 24 hours ago.. and there was a big silence.. LOL 

I thought you would find this funny! Have a great one.

Terry S.

-------------------------------------

Hi Terry,

That is funny... a guy calling you the same day your site is found online in the search engines saying your search engine optimization is not working...

You have to watch out for all the con-artist out there peddling their snake oil SEO solutions. Unfortunately, most people listen to the wrong people and end up losing their money taking the advice from people like that rather than investigating the claims the make.

How will Websiteforge stay on top of SEO when the masses are pushing it on all fronts. In other words it looks like a never ending battle to me, but maybe I am not understanding SEO.

Thanks Leroy

---------------------------------------

Hi Leroy,

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) should be on the fore front of everyone's mind, with out it your website will never be found in a KEYWORD SEARCH. Just building a website without SEO is like buying a car and not the gas. It just sits there and looks pretty.

At WebsiteForge we have taken 95% of the work out of SEO and the 5% left over is not rocket science, anyone can do it. Matter of fact we have hired a professional SEO Expert with over 10 years experience to consult with you and submit your site to the search engines. He will tell you how you can manage your on SEO campaign with little effort on your end and how easy it will be.

Thanks,

GET THE FACTS BEFORE YOU BUY A WEBSITE!

RE: Before you decide on a website designer please read this and contact me!


The big advantages we have over all the other web designers are, our sites come with Organic Search Engine Optimization not just submission, we also have an Advance Content Management Tool that allows you to edit your site and our Managed Services where we provide your site software with over 300 upgrades, this year alone we are updating our Members sites with over $200,000 in additional programming.

I just spoke with Michael Giordano with KnowYourNanny.com, he had gone with a big Fortune 500 company that produces low end web development out of Utah claiming they could build him a great site for $199 just 3 years ago and he never made any money from his website because it could not be found in the Search Engines. When he finally decided to have us build him a site, in the first 30 minutes of being listed on Google he paid for his site. In the first month of business he made over $6,000, now he's making over $40,000 a month. That's the difference between our company and others. If you do a Google search for Nanny Cam, you'll find him in the number 1 position.

You'll make more money with our site than any other site just based on our Advanced Organic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Software. Don't be fooled by other companies claiming they do what we do, because they don't!

WARNING: Low end companies like the one in Utah, will build you an entry level site very cheap, but it will never be found in the Search Engines like our sites. We use Organic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Technology that will dramatically increase the positioning of your website and provide you with an Expert in SEO that will set-up your site, submit it to the Search Engines and Consult with you on how you can beat your competition in the Search Engines. Other companies only submit your name to the Search Engines, which is like going to the Post Office to let them know where you live, it does not DRIVE TRAFFIC to your site.

We have been working with Google for 3 years developing and maintaining the same kind of search technology that Ebay and Amazon use to get their sites found on the 1st three pages of Google. The fact is, if you're website is not found in the top 3 pages, your success is very limited. We have the tools that can help you get in the top 3 pages multiple times, not just for your company name but keywords and keyphrases that will drive traffic to your site.

Personally, my 4 strongest selling points are;

1. A Great Design with Great Functionality - We will do unlimited revisions to your design until you are 100% satisfied! Once we apply your design, we'll work on the functionality of your site. In a recent survey in Business 2.0, functionality was the Number 1 reason why people decide on using your website with a whopping 89% of the vote. If your site does not look inviting and you have little or no functionality, people will not stay on your site for more than 30 seconds.

2. Organic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) - We initially set-up and install SEO on your website. No other company offers this software. It will dramatically increase your traffic and sales. Other companies can charge $5,000 - $50,000 or more for this service but we are able to offer it for additional cost. (Others only submit your site to the search engines) Three years ago we started working on this software with the help of Google and last year we implemented it on all of our 4000 websites we manage with astounding results. Most of the 4000 sites rank on the first page in all the search engines, while they have multiple listings in the Search Engines for the same keyword or phrase. It's a huge advantage over your competition!

3. True Content Management Tool - This allows you to edit your site and do everything we can do. You can add/delete pages/products. So if you want to make a change on your site at 2am in the morning, then all you do is log in and make the change hit publish and your done. You'll save hundreds even thousands from not having to pay someone to update your site. (Other companies only offer a third party software program that is really a "File Editor" that requires some knowledge of HTML or very limited in what you can edit.)

4. Managed Services - This is for our Unlimited Training, Unlimited Customer Support, Unlimited Technical Support, Unlimited Hosting, E-mails, Upgrades & Updates, Security, Content Management Tool, Online Back Office, SEO Software etc... (This is a Professional Managed Service Package worth over $20,000/mo.) (Others will put you on a server and leave you there. If you need extra pages or work they will bill you up to $125 an hour.)

I hope to talk to you soon about all the advantages we offer to increase your site traffic and sales. Anyone can build you a great looking website, we build websites that will be found in the Search Engines and make you money!

We want your site to be successful, others just want your money!

If you would like to discuss your project this week, just let me know what is a good time and day to call you and I'll schedule you in. My phone time is limited and my schedule fills up quickly with those who are interested in having their website make them money instead of costing them money, so please contact me as soon as possible so we can schedule a time for us to talk or email me back right now with a good time to call you...

Let me know what I have to do to earn your business today!

I am presently in a situation with another web design company that I am very unhappy with. I have been waiting on my 5 page website to be created for 3 months now, and have been lied to repeatedly by account managers and the like concerning the progress on said website. I contacted you because, well, my seemingly infinite amount of patience has finally worn thin. My website is an online representation of my business and all of the pages have already been designed in Macromedia Freehand by yours truly. I really just need someone to put these pages on the web. I already own my domain name, and all of my content is ready to go.

1) What type of website does this qualify as? Economy or Custom?

2) Do you submit my website to all the search engines on a monthly basis?

3) And what about time frame for completion?

I don't need an e-commerce store, my products are of the custom nature, but I would need a page that showed thumbnail versions of each product and then a larger page of pictures and information per product. I appreciate your time and fast response!

Bethany

---------------------------------

Actually I hear this a lot, what usually happens is a hungry website designer that you find locally, or a salesperson you speak to nationally has misunderstood the project or bitten off more than they can chew. 

Your site should of been set up with an e-commerce software where you could have cataloged your products, instead, the designer built an informational site and now he's behind schedule because he's tring to link every image to a page for the detailed view and increasing his work load 3 fold. Using the e-commerce software we have this site should of been done in just 3 weeks not 3 months. Another thing to point out, the reason he didnt go this route I suspect is because, 90% of all webdesiners don't work with e-commerce software and struggle through it. This is what set's us apart from others, more than 50% of all our work is e-commerce.

As far as Question 2) Do you submit my website to all the search engines on a monthly basis? The answer is No. Why? Because doing this can actually hurt you in the Search Engines. It used to be a common practice over 5 years ago but the Search Engine software (like Google) has been recoded. People who sell you this are like Snake Oil Salesmen, avoid them at all cost because you'll only lose your money.

We provide a Free Consultaion with a Search Engine Optimization Expert who will teach you everything you'll need to know about Search Engine Optimization and the do's and dont's along with assisting you set up your website and get you listed in all the search engine's.
