From experience, developing a site boils down to five steps, or phases, 1) Content, an initial content package; 2) Design, the architecture of the site; 3) Development, creation of pages, posts, images, code, etc.; 4) Prototype, a run of the first draft site from the staging server, followed by specific revisions or additions that go back to Development, Design, or Content phases for more work; and 5) Launch, when the finished site is moved from staging to production (live). There’s a more detailed description of our Five Point Development process and the tools we use here. When the site goes live it moves into site administration for analysis and updates.

No. When you choose one of our High-Speed Dedicated Hosting Plans, you’ll have plenty of creative website design options, from a blank slate to templates, but it’s largely up to you to design your site. However, we will provide 24/7 chat support, email with your domain name, plus a generous list of features.

SPI’s Website Design Plans provide full-service development, from concept to launch, a full compliment of add-ons, site administration, and unlimited updates.

Yes. We’ll migrate your existing site at no cost to you, and we’ll work with you vis a vis your concerns, your ideas, and your goals. The net result will be a much better site with better features, and support.

Yes. We “migrate” (copy and place) your live (existing) site, lock, stock, and barrel, including the database, onto your new server. After the existing site has been duplicated and checked for completeness, we copy the site to a staging server. The staging site is designed so that nobody except designated admins can see what’s happening in the background, far away from visitors and potential saboteurs. Meanwhile, the existing site remains live. After the changes have been made and approved, we copy the staging site to your domain. This only takes minutes. If it’s a big site, we’ll put an “under construction” page on the old site before copying the staging site.

Yes. Forms are where the real action is on a site. Our forms are drag and drop, customizable with typical fields such as name, address, email, and phone. But we take this much further with your choice among:

• “radio buttons” (multiple choice),
• check boxes,
• text areas (paragraph),
• number fields,
• date and time stamps,
• ratings,
• Likert scales,
• file uploads,
• branching and logic,
• merchant gateways, and
• more.

In addition, SPI offers you form options with interactive polls and quizzes, which can help you better understand the intentions of your audience.

Beyond the “Submit” Button. Suppose one of your forms requires a signature, e.g., a consent form, or a letter of agreement with SOW and terms of service, we’ll provide a link to a variety of signing apps. It’s a simple one-click way of getting business done without the paperwork. If you have payments on your form, you’ll be taken to the payment page automatically. Cool? Yes!

If you’re selling products we’ll help you set up shopping carts with coupon codes, payment gateways, and “buy now” buttons.

Form Data. In terms of feedback, you get an email with all form data, and the visitor gets a thank you email with customizable form data that can be personalized with a note from you including the visitor’s name, address, etc. For sales, donations, or subscriptions, the purchaser gets an email receipt and you get all form data which can be downloaded as a CSV file or similar format. With SuperPage you can set up as many forms as you like on your site at no extra charge.

In terms of security, all of our forms use ReCaptcha and others to keep spammers out. And we now offer CleanTalk, free of charge.

Sure. All of our sites are “responsive,” meaning that they’ll automatically reformat themselves based on the screen area of a given device, and we always test your site on each platform if adjustments are necessary. Here are three screenshots of the same page, a desktop, an iPad, and a smartphone, iPhone or Android.

Yes. We’ll help you design and develop your ecommerce site with WooCommerce, the most popular ecommerce platform. For gateways and payment systems, we use Forminator Pro, Stripe, and/or your preference. For larger volume, we’ll help you set you on Amazon FBA.

We review our clients sites for updates every day. We use only the most reliable plugins, and we keep all of your themes up to date.

Yes. We encourage our clients to keep the content of their sites up to date, especially blogs. We’ll set you up, and work with you so that you can understand how to do it yourself. WordPress, after all, was first established as a bloggers platform (it’s much more than that now), and if millions and millions of WordPress users around the globe can keep their sites – and blogs – up to date, so can you.

However, many of our professional clients don’t have the time to dig in to the back end of their sites, so they send us the updates they want via text, phone, or email, and we do it for them. Unlimited content updates are included with our Website Design Plans.

Yes. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is designed to protect health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs (Portability) and to protect health data integrity, confidentiality, and availability (Accountability). We provide HIPAA-Compliant Services through our Microsoft 365 professional offering.

Regarding Accountability, HIPAA-Compliant Services are particularly important, required by law in fact, for organizations that share or intend to share sensitive medical information over the internet. SPI will move your information to our secure HIPAA servers, set up your users for HIPAA, without which your organization could be held liable for non-compliance. For specifics on HIPAA see this link from NIH.
