Content Management

"Content Management Systems (CMS) allow users to create and submit content without requiring technical knowledge of HTML or the uploading of files." ...  Wikipedia

The advent of content management systems like Joomla, Word Press and Drupal has brought the ability to edit and maintain a website to the masses.   From blogging to photo galleries, content management systems allow users to post information, upload images and control their sites.   50Fish strives to develop websites that we can hand off to our clients with the knowledge that they will be able to manage and build their web presence.

Like our clients, each CMS has a unique set of strengths.   We work with our clients to recommend the appropriate CMS platform and customize the system to fit their individual needs.

   

Design & Usability

Designing a visually stunning website is easy.   Designing a visually stunning, user-centered, website takes careful planning and attention to the details.

50Fish designs websites with the user or site visitor in mind.   No matter what the scope of your project is, usability should be a top priority in the design process.

The benefits of planning usability into your project are:

  • Increased user satisfaction
  • Increased e-commerce conversion rates
  • Reduced long-term development costs (costs incurred from fixing poorly designed pages)
  • Reduced customer support costs
  • Return business to improve your market share

Design is our passion.  Usability is our business.

   

Hosting - site, email, data

50Fish has been providing rock solid hosting services to our clients since 2002.   From large ecommerce sites needing a dedicated server to small blog sites using a simple Wordpress install, we have a hosting plan to match your needs.

Up until 2004, 50Fish outsourced hositng to a large hosting company.   We quickly realized that to control the hosting enviromnent, install the site software we wanted to use, and troubleshoot the systems we needed to host our sites on our own servers.   In 2004 we partnered with RackAid to manage our servers in New York City and provide 24/7 support on site support.   This partnership allows us, and our clients, to rest easy knowing their websites are running smooth and updated daily with the latest security patches.

Services includes email (webmail), data and website hosting.   50Fish also offers advanced spam filtration systems, SSL installation / support, PCI scanning / mitigation and website moving services.

We have plans starting at $25 a month including content management systems, 20 email accounts and 1gb of data / site storage space.

   

SEO

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural“ or "organic" search result.

50Fish provides SEO consulting, keyword research, copywriting, website redevelopment, link building, search engine submitting and reporting (analytics) services to small and large businesses looking for an edge on the competition.   Our services are not designed around a "quick fix" but rather use SEO best practices to create a sustainable long term optimization plan.

50Fish has been working with SEO since 1999 and builds every site with Search Optimization in mind.   Even if your company decides not to pursue SEO in your short term marketing plan, a site built by 50Fish will be structurally ready when you do decide to employ an SEO program.

50Fish also provides corporate training on SEO best practices and understanding SEO and how it affects your business.   Please see our SEO Corporate Training page for details.
