SST Web Design's Managed Servers are all custom built, secured, and optimized out of the box. All Managed Servers are Linux based, bundled with the cPanel control panel, and housed at our Central US (TX) datacenter which includes premium bandwidth such as Internap and Level 3.

We harden and secure each server before we deploy it to our clients, which means there's a firewall running, rDNS has been setup, MySQL, FTP, SSH and other (potentially sensitive) services and ports are secured and/or closed so that we can guarantee a very fast and secure server backed by a great SLA.

We make sure your site is ready for Business!

If you're going to build a new site - or even revamp your existing site - you're going to want to be sure you're building it so that it will work for you next week and next year, as well as it does today. And to do that, you're going to want to build it with a content management system (CMS).

A CMS allows you to create, edit, manage, search and publish pages on your website without having to learn a programming language PHP or even markup languages like HTML/CSS. A good CMS platform has a simple administrative interface that makes creating, storing, and publishing pages easy, so you can keep your site up to date.  Another important part of a CMS is extensibility.  If your site is more than a simple informational site, you're may want to build functionality on or around the CMS.

Here are four benefits to implementing a CMS on your site:

CMS systems save you time and effort: Using a content management system drastically reduces the time and effort needed to update your website.

CMS systems help manage costs: Without a CMS, you will likely have to pay someone in-house or out to update the content of your website. With a CMS, anyone can easily keep the content current.

CMS systems help you keep your site current and meaningful: Because you can do it yourself, a CMS makes it easy for anyone at your company to update content. You can update it as frequently as you want.  That means you can ensure your site has new information to visitors keep coming back.   You don't want to miss business opportunities because you are unable to add timely or topical content to your site.

CMS systems can help you manage your SEO: A good CMS is built with the search engines in mind. By standardizing layouts and properly labeling content and structure, your CMS can help search engines like Google index and rank your website. Additionally, regularly adding new content to your site will give search engines more to crawl and improve your ranking.

 SST Web Design offers an award-winning Content Management System (CMS) that will help you build and maintain your website.

Our CMS is used to power everything from simple, personal homepages to complex corporate web applications.

 Here are just some of the ways people use our software:

• Corporate websites or portals

The possibilities are limitless…

The CMS can be used to easily manage every aspect of your website, from adding content and images to updating a product catalog or taking online reservations.

Via a simple, browser-based interface you will be able to easily add new press releases or news items, manage staff pages, job listings, product images, and create an unlimited amount of sections or content pages on your site.

Maximize Your Investment!

Benefit from our Expertise
Having a Website that your customers never visit is a losing proposition. Similarly, having customers visit your Website and never return is also a problem. 

For these reasons, SST Computing began offering Web Maintenance Contracts. With a Web Maintenance Contract, you control changes and updates to your site without actually having to deal with the details.

 We manage your position on the Search Engines 
A Web Maintenance Contract is a way of ensuring that your Website maintains its search engine ranking beyond that first submission. That philosophy keeps your organization one step ahead of the competition, resulting in more hits, which can translate into more customers.

More than 85% of web surfers use the top 100 search engines to find what they are looking for on the web. If you are the 1,000th link in a search that resulted in 5,000,000 total hits, it’s as bad as it sounds. We work to get your rankings higher and you can track the results.

Once we get your site ranked, we keep it there
All clients on a SST Web Maintenance Contract receive re-indexing services on more than 1000 search engines, scheduled on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis.

Analysis and Content Changes
When you pay for a newspaper or magazine ad, can you track WHO reads the ad, HOW LONG they spend looking, WHERE they go when they put it down? On the Web, we can see all that, and more! After analyzing the traffic, we can adapt the site content to capitalize on successful approaches, and to eliminate failures.  

If a site never changes, customers stop visiting. Unlike print media, a Website is not a one-time effort. By analyzing traffic and managing change, we keep the site fresh and successful. Web Maintenance Contracts with SST Web Design enable you to plan for changes and to maximize search engine rankings. There are no greater keys to online success.
