Rush Graphics has been hosting and developing web sites since 1996.
We currently maintain and host over 100 sites with several in development. We have "dedicated servers" that means only our customers not 10,000 kid sites. We have an exclusive "state of the art" complete content manager that we can build into your web site ( this site is done that way ) then YOU can edit your own site from ANY computer and it requires no software. SEE MORE ON ABOVE LINK "Edit your own site" We have "procmail" and "spamassian" programs installed on our e-mail servers - these programs will help stop viruses from even getting into your mail box and will eliminate over 90% of the unwanted advertising ( spam ) e-mails you receive. YOU CAN EVEN REGISTER YOUR PHONE NUMBER - TRY OURS 3175357515 ( click on it - close new window when done ) you can have as many names as you want pointed to the same site - we have five. You can also register it as 317-535-7515.com. This provides interesting ways to list your phone and web site on signs, vehicles and such. Plus if they have your phone number they have your web site address and vice versa. We also suggest an easy to remember - SHORT name if you decide to go with the phone number. When your site is hosted on our servers you can "from any computer anywhere with access to the Internet", access your e-mail, a contact manager, your favorite web sites, scheduler, and more. Why a web site? - If you think just having a web site will bring thousands of people to your door to buy your services or products, you are mistaken. We use the latest technology in writing web sites but so do thousands of other web masters; also many search engines take money to put you at the top of the list. Unless you want to spend thousands of dollars, don't think this way. ( see articles about search engines in "The Internet" section. A web site is excellent for the following reasons plus many more to come in the future.
1.. Full color catalog, with as many pages and images that you want, available to anyone at anytime from anywhere in the world. PLUS you can change it at NO COST, EVERYDAY if you want. 2.. Advertising in phone books - newspapers - flyer's - business cards - put on your signs and vehicles - with the addition of your web site address you are handing them your full color catalog at the same time; at NO COST to you. At the high cost of adds these days you can go with smaller less expensive adds but at the same time most people, especially the ones with money to spend, will have access to an entire catalog of your services. 3.. The Internet is here to stay - use it! Put your web site name on ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that has your company name on it, hats, shirts, license plates, vehicles, music on hold, voice mail, front sign, yard signs, all advertising, invoices, purchase orders, statements, quotes, pens, pencils, rulers, cups, etc., etc., IT'S FREE ADVERTISING. 4.. Here are some of the things our customers have told us about their sites. a.. People visiting have said "I did not know your did that" or "I did not know you sold that" b.. People visiting developers and contractors sites have said "I didn't know you built that" c.. People will not generally call you to ask what you do - but they will go to your web site d.. Your web site provides "up to the minute information" - not outdated printed information that usually is obsolete before your customer gets it, and at a fraction of the cost, plus reaches all over the world 24/7. A big plus is that people always know where to find your catalog and your information. Can you always find the CD or printed catalog your want? e.. People will e-mail you from your web site for quotes and questions that will not call you. Then you decide at your own pace, and not being confronted. to provide the information or not. 5.. Your e-mail address is "permanent" no matter what isp dial up service ( aol, msn, etc. etc. ) you chose, in this way you can change as often as you want to save money or because of bad service without changing your e-mail address. It is also more professional to have sales or info@YourWebSite.com than user1234566787899@aol.com. Your e-mail addresses will remain the same even if you have someone else host your site in the future. Your e-mail with us is also available to send and read from any computer on the Internet at no extra charge. We also can provide e-mail addresses as whatever@Use123.com our directory site or your can use your isp dial up service provided e-mail address for shopping, news letters, and such that you don't want associated with your business. 6.. E-commerce - we feature x-cart - unlimited products, credit card acceptance, real time on-line shipping calculators. YOU maintain your own pricing, product information, get your orders, etc. over any computer on the Internet with your log on and password. The interface is easy to use and once we set it up the 1st time your take it from there. Most of our customers take the orders and process the credit cards with their existing machines just like a phone or fax order ( no need to change anything ), but we also have fully on-line processing available. We also have "direct input" into Quick Books from your web site for automatic order entry. You can sell "downloadable" items as e-books, recipes, songs, what ever. You and also have multi level pricing, assign a "group" to a person and they will see retail, wholesale, distributor, etc. pricing, depending on what group you put them in. Find out more at www.x-cart.com or just click on it - close new window when done NOTE: we are an x-cart distributor and pass the discount savings on to you - plus we are a SSL " secure certificate " distributor so you can have your own secure directory instead of sharing - this makes backing up your entire site, including your store, easy with just "one click". If you don't want the content manager we also use Front Page and Macromedia software "Dreamweaver" tha includes "Fireworks", "Flash" and "Shockwave Director" to produce full motion and movie like presentations. These coupled with Adobe graphics programs provide you with the BEST Internet software available. At present we have over $10,000 invested in software. Since we have found no location in Indiana, due to phone line restrictions, to host our sites we host our sites on our own dedicated servers located in secure data centers, monitored 24/7. One center handles 64% of ALL Internet traffic, yes that's ALL Internet traffic. We have "dedicated" business servers, not home web site space providers. They are up 99%+ of the time, are FAST and they cost us more than other services that are available BUT we don't have any of the horror stories that our customers have told us about the "low cost" providers. You also are not sharing with "thousands" of other sites like with most "shared servers" you are sharing with ONLY OUR SITES. You will have full standby generator backup. You will have 24/7 PEOPLE network monitoring on all servers for virus attacks, problems, etc. This will mean A LOT to you now and in the future with the addition of multimedia presentations, on line shopping, and downloads. WHAT DOES ALL THIS COST YOU?
1.. To register a web site name is $20 per year and from then on it is "automatically" renewed. This is a government type thing that when you type in your address the computer your are goes to this directory and will know where your site is located so you can view it. Or you can register your own name. Sites with .com .biz .us .org .name are stored at http://www.netsol.com (click on it - close new window when done) where you can check availability of the name you want and your information about your name in the future. We are a reseller and pass the savings on to you as our customer saving you $15 or more per year. 2.. Monthly hosting fees. We require no contract with us and can drop it or have someone else host your site at any time. Normal site $30 / month ( forwarding e-mail to your current isp address like eee@aol.com etc no charge ) E-mail $5 / month per 5 e-mail addresses ( e-mail is stored IN YOUR WEB SITE ) access from any computer on the internet anywhere in the world to read, write, send, reply, whatever. ( see more information below ) Normal E-commerce secure site with shopping cart and your own security certificate $59 / month. NOTE: this is important YOU own the store license, YOU own the security certificate and can move it in ONE PIECE to another server WITHOUT having to completely redo all the information like with MOST providers. NO CHARGE - Full stats on who, what, when, where people have visited your site - real time - you have 3 different stat programs to chose from at any time built into your site. 3.. To create a normal site will average from $200 to $300 depending on the amount and the type information you give us. Pictures already as computer files and text provided by e-mail or word processor files will reduce your costs. Note: new customers are accepted on a limited bases, we do not overtax our abilities and are interested in a long term relationship which is the reason our prices are low. Total costs will be provided before we start any project. E-Mail
Ever wish that "whatever computer" you sat down at you could check and send e-mail from your e-mail address, including sending files and pictures, plus keep a copy of what you sent? How about a list of all the people you know with addresses, phone numbers, birthdays etc. that you could easily access from anywhere, anytime, even on vacation out of the country? Well you can - read on. I have tried to make this as simple as possible, if you don't understand something please feel free to e-mail me or call. If you think of wording that is easier to understand please e-mail it to me. Your E-mail is received and stored inside your web site folder on our servers. This eliminates the need for a separate e-mail server, like a lot of other providers do, it cuts down on spam e-mail, and is more secure. It stays there till you either delete it online or download it into your computer. You can send and read your e-mail directly from your computer as you do now and you can do the same online from any computer on the Internet using the three different e-mail readers built into your site, all three always available - chose the one you want to use. 1.. E-mail send, read, reply, delete, forward, send e-mail with attachments, send to groups, anything you can do from your computer you can do online from any computer on the Internet. You can also upload your contacts list from your computer. 2.. Contacts - you can store all types of information, phone numbers, addresses work/home, birthday, spouse, etc. etc. which is available to you from ANY computer on the Internet. 3..Schedule - full scheduler system with calendar 4..To Do - says it all 5.. Notes - says it all Do not store online banking this way, on your favorites list, or remembered passwords, nor should you ever store credit card information on any store site. 7.. Preferences - you can customize all of the above in many different ways | |||
