Web Site Design


How much will it be to design my site, if it is just a small business?

We charge either per site, per page, or per hour. The price varies with the complexity of the job. At times, we are unable to take on another site and will refer you elsewhere. We have more detail on our prices & services page. Please contact us to discuss your special needs.

Web Maintenance


I am a large company and require very frequent site updates, which package do I need?
I am a small company and require very few site updates, which package do I need?


We have packages for companies large and small. We charge based on the time required for your site each month. By committing to a monthly service maintenance contract, we are able to offer you a lower hourly fee and to assure your site time each month, week or day. We can also help you learn to do your own site updates, again, depending on what your company needs are. It is more affordable for many businesses to use a web maintenance service like ours, rather than to hire a new employee or to take an employee away from other tasks.

Web Site Promotion


What exactly is web site promotion?

It is a term that can mean a lot of different things! We believe that a successful site requires the same type of promotion that any business requires. Maybe even more, since no one really "drives by" and stops in on impulse. The closest thing to that impulse stop is to have your site listed in all the available search engines, in the top 10 or 20 sites! Smoky Mountain Media provides an automated search engine submission on a weekly or monthly basis. We do not guarantee placement anywhere, since your placement depends on a multitude of factors to achieve it's placement. (Design, words used on the site, amount of competing sites, other sites linking to yours, etc.) We suggest hand entry to the most important sites. We also suggest using a multi-pronged approach to promoting your site, including local promotions, having your URL listed on all your printed materials, etc. This way, even if you are not in the top 20, the people looking for you can find you by doing a simple search. This is a complex area and we welcome questions and brainstorming sessions with our customers.

Graphic Design


Can you do all the copywriting on my brochure?

Yes. However, we require very clear communication with our clients. We cannot be experts in every type of business. Even with many years of commercial copywriting experience, we find a need for a good amount of detail, especially when creating a website or brochure!

I need a book cover design, do you do this?

Yes. We design booklet and book covers, however we are not illustrators, so our designs would feature design elements or photographs rather than illustrations.

Ooops. I forgot the magazine deadline and they need my ad by tomorrow, can you help?

Rarely! We ask for a reasonable amount of notice for all projects, both in order to schedule you in with our other clients and to work out the design with you. We have, on rare occasions, accepted a job with very little turn around time. We charge more for rush orders when we do accept the job.

Voice Work


I hate the way my voice sounds on our voice mail, can you do my voice mail for me even though I live far away?

Yes we can. Voice mail can be recorded directly into the system with the use of a temporary password. We can also do various types of answering systems either on D.A.T. (Digital Audio Tape) or a regular cassette. Please contact us to discuss your particular system. See our other services page for details on what we offer.

Mystery Shopping/Research


I need a telemarketing script written and to have it tested. Can you do this?

We can do some out bound testing and may be able to do a limited amount of incoming testing. We will do any larger projects or long term contracts through a call center. See our other services page for details on what we offer.


Can you do mystery shopping in Austin, Texas?

Sorry. Our mystery shopping services are available only in Western North Carolina or the eastern seaboard by special arrangement. There are many national services which would be happy to help. We can refer you to one with which we have done contract mystery shopping for years. See our other services page for details on what we offer.
