Can Anyone Recommend a Good Website Company?

"Here is another one that seems to have a decent setup"

Yuck. Do you think paying $500 to $800 EVERY year is a good deal? No thanks. Stay away from those deals.

When you hire someone, the major cost should be for creating the website, not a continuous stream of costs year after year after year after year after year after year after year.

I currently have my site with Norvax. It's a decent site, with the quote engine and all that, but I haven't gotten a very big response from it over the past 2 years. Maybe I just need an SEO, I don't know, but if they come to the site, and don't do anything from there, what's the point?

Just looking for some suggestions from others here.

Thanks!

I just went to your website and the one I am being taken to on your profile is not a Norvax site, nor does it offer live quotes. (Which what Norvax is primarily used for).
Update: Ok, so I see now your site is by Norvax using a SiteLever. That CMS (Content Management System) is far outdated. I know that they offer newer modern websites now, but I'm not sure if they are up to web standards. There are a couple I suggest, just contact me whenever you get a chance.

It looks like you used a template, which is based on tables instead of xhtml/css. Using xhtml/css is far more friendly to the robots that crawl pages to index them on major search engines.

For starters, what ever your site is about should be towards the top. A robot may look at your page and assume your site may be about helping someone get a job since the first thing you talk about on the homepage is being laid off or a recent grad. Those terms are closely related to those used in searching for a job, not finding health insurance.

Also, encouraging people to visit your office? Why? You built the website to alleviate this. You want to be able to sell online 24/7, not just during office hours, right? You want people to submit their info to get a quote so you can send them through email, advise them of their options, and then guide them through the application process online.

My suggestion: Don't use so many colors. Pick a theme 3 colors that look good together. So far your template is using red, gray, black & white. Stick with those and you'll have a cleaner look. Put a mini request a quote form on the home page.

So get rid of the yellow highlighted text, and everything beneath it that is out of context. Start your page with where it says "Shop for health plans in Illinois, Indiana, Arizona and Wisconsin: ".

Yes you need to work on your onsite seo: meta keywords and descriptions are not good, basic html semantics are not used.

Email me or call me if you have any further questions. I'm here to help.

Have you received any quote request at all? I'm looking at your forms and it looks like they may be sending the information to an email address that no longer exists. If you are using an sbcglobal.net I'd highly suggest setting an email with your domain, like [email protected].

Your kidding Right? This is just from my personal experience, this guy will not allow you access to your site, He requires that he has full control. Many on here can agree with me on this.

Plus if you want to know who is behind this operation,

www.holtis.com is my company that develops websites. I just started a redesign on a website. In just one day it went from this www.fisinsurancequotes.com to this fisinsurancequotes.com. There is still more content to put in, but if agents already have the content of the site written out or just need a redesign we have exceptional turn-around times!

A good deal? It's a smokin' deal!

No set-up fees, 30 days to try it for free, and $39 to $59 a month. Besides getting a great site hosted on a blazing-fast server, you get a library of content you can put on your site, seasonal content updates, a complete content management system built from the ground-up specifically for insurance angets that lets you update your site in seconds, a lead management system, email accounts, and fantastic support (if I do say so myself). Plus, you get a ton of things behind the scenes that you don't see, like W3C valid code, search engine friendly code (no tables!), and lightning-fast page load times (ask Dave Miller about how important this is).

If you go it your own, you can easily rack up $500-800 a year in hosting fees, content changes, and design updates. And that's after you fork over hundreds of dollars up front!

Having a great website begins with great keywords. You can't compete with those keywords that you have chosen on your site. Download traffic travis and use it to help you with your seo. It is FREE! or of course their is a paid version which is traffic travis pro and you get it for 7 days for $5 and after that you pay two payments of $47. It is how I took my sight from not being listed on google to being #12 on a very competitive keyword. That program along with the free videos that you get is causing my site to get over 100 hits a day just in 3 weeks time.
