Website Development

Unlike “specialized” ED website firms that sell templated website portals—or “generalized” website development firms that tend to sell “websites in a box” and are virtually clueless about economic development—an economic development website designed and built by Ady Voltedge is created exclusively for your region. Features of the Ady Voltedge process include:

Turnkey Convenience

Ady Voltedge offers you a powerful toolbox of mix-and-match features for your economic development organization, tourism board, association, or municipality -- customized as a turnkey package created specifically to market your unique region.

Content Management System

The Ady Voltedge content management system (CMS) allows you to update your website copy, images, interactive maps, and more from any Web browser anytime and anywhere in the world, using familiar word processing commands similar to Microsoft® Word.

For the techies in the house, our CMS is based on open-sourced code, customized to ensure Section 508 compliance and W3C accessibilitiy, as well as cross-platform and cross-browser compatibility. Contact us for a demo.

Interactive Mapping

Let’s face it: if a picture is worth a thousand words, then an interactive map is worth more than that. Especially if you are selling a place.

The Ady Voltedge interactive mapping tool allows you to present interactive maps with a customizable interface on your economic development, tourism, or association website, displaying available sites and buildings, including virtual tours, virtual spec buildings, proximity to key infrastructure, and more.

You have the ability to easily add, remove and edit layers as well as to add, remove, and edit points within each layer.

Site Analytics

Ady Voltedge will equip your website with robust Google® Analytics that allow you to collect, measure, and analyze the traffic that comes to it. You will know from where your visitors come, how often they visit, how long they stay, and what parts of your EDO website are of most interest to them.

Free Search Engine Optimization

Optimizing your website for search engine rankings is best done throughout the development of your website -- not something to be tacked on after the website is done.. Ady Voltedge routinely takes more than a dozen steps on each and every website we build to ensure that we are doing everything in our control to improve your search engine rankings organically. These range from the easy and obvious to the not-so-easy or obvious.

Contact us to find our more about the techniques we use. And best of all, because SEO is an integral part of the Ady Voltedge website development process, there is never an extra fee.

Social Media

Tools such as blogs, e-newsletters, and RSS feeds help maintain the interest of corporate site selectors and other decision makers, keeping your constituent communities connected to companies that are considering location, relocation, or expansion.

We have CMS modules and experience in implementing all the common social media. But in our experience, what will differentiate you from the 3,000+ competing organizations is not just execution - it’s strategy. We can help you determine the best strategy and help you implement it based on our marketing and technical expertise.

Special Functionality

Optional features such as “What’s New?”, news feeds, shared calendars, slide shows, password-protected areas, and others make your website a more powerful marketing tool for attracting the attention of site selectors and other influencers.

We offer you a full menu of special features to add into your website, most of which include Content Management tools or we’ll keep your content current for you for optimal flexibility.
