Every month you remain a member, PetSittingOlogy will pick up the bill for your hosting fees. Your pet sitting website will reside on the exact same server as this site so you know you'll be in good company. No more wasting time or money dealing with hosts that can't deliver, are over-priced or don't return messages. Your hosting package (with enough space for thousands of pages) also comes with an easy-to-use control panel so you can manage email accounts, monitor visitor stats and install a blog in just a few clicks. A bit scared of HTML code? Read on, we got your back...!
Your Personal Webmaster
If we expect your website to work overtime for your business while bringing in the majority of your new clients, we better be ready to help build such an outstanding and effective website, wouldn't you think? That's where Joshua comes in! With more than 10 years of web developing experience, and a web design studio in New York, you can be sure you (and your HTML code) are in good hands. You'll be given the whole kit and kaboodle to make certain your website performs up to industry standards. (This is Joshua's passion — he'd have it no other way.)
Website Optimization
We're proud to say that we've amassed over $100,000 in pet sitting services during the first year since we started Alitia's Animals. The majority of that income was achieved strictly through our pet sitting website. A properly created website will be the difference between a struggling business and a successful pet sitting business complete with a steady stream of clients. I've created and profited from several business websites and will work one on one with you to make sure your website delivers. Launching a website that gets results from Google without spending a ton of money on advertising is possible. We'll work together to build and optimize your website so you can receive significant traffic without spending significant ad dollars.
Pet Sitting Forms
Nobody needs to drown themselves in forms and contracts. We've run our pet sitting business successfully with just a handful of forms. It keeps the clients happy and allows you to operate your business at peak performance. You'll be handed the exact forms and contracts we continue to use to this day. Download the pack in Word or PDF format, add your logo if you wish, and make it your own. Open for business as soon as you're ready with no time or money wasted.
