Services
The company will offer two basic services: creating a basic website, and creating an in-depth website.
The company’s core competencies are an understanding of cultural and linguistic issues and the infrastructure of the World Wide Web. The company intends to partner with firms that are proficient in website implementation, rather than building such an operation internally.
In order to provide a high level of service, the company will have operations in both Stamford, Connecticut and in Mexico. The Stamford operation will serve as headquarters and the point of contact for partner Web design firms. The Mexican operation will support direct sales, after sales support and account management.
3.1 Service Description
The company offers two basic categories of service.
The basic service, which is sold to small resorts and travel destination, provides a simple website. This website will typically include photographs, location and contact details for the destination. In addition, the website will be submitted to all of the Web search engines and be provided to travel- oriented websites.
The basic website is designed to inform Web users about the existence of resorts and travel destinations. This basic level of service is provided for people whose primary goal is establishing a presence on the Web. This service will cost $2,000 to $3,000 dollars.
The in-depth website is designed for large resorts. This site provides everything included in the basic website and adds more depth and interactivity. This form of website will provide more detailed description and images of the resort and its facilities.
In addition, the website will allow users to make bookings, ask for promotional literature to be mailed to them and make other requests directly of the resort operators. The in-depth website goes beyond a presence on the Web, by using the Web to establish the initial relationship with potential guests. We will make the in-depth website available to smaller resorts and other destinations if requested. This service cost $8,500.
We intend to provide ongoing services to basic and in-depth website customers that will include updates and expansions of their site, as well as brokerage for Web hosting services. We expect ongoing services to account for approximately the same dollar amounts as the initial contracts.
3.2 Fulfillment
Fulfillment for the company relies on both internal resources and our Web designer partners. The company will establish relations with at least two Web design firms.
The company will handle the direct relationships with the clients including all linguistic and cultural issues as well as a collection of imagery, identification of key resort facilities, and a high-level design concept for the website.
The Web design firm will be responsible for converting imagery to computer form, typesetting of text, and other technical website implementation issues. For basic website work, the Web design firm will be paid from $1,000 to $1,500 and for in-depth website work, they will be paid from $3,000-$3,500 dollars.
