About
You’ve got me figured out. My last name isn’t Christian, it’s Ciecalone. Who can remember how to spell Ciecalone? Forget about pronouncing it. Sometimes I’m not even sure. My middle name IS Christian. Welcome to Ryan Christian Media.
Short Bio
A few details about RC Media…
So my last name is actually Ciecalone. My middle name is Christian. Ciecalone is just a little too hard for most to pronounce, spell, you name it. Ryan Christian media is about more than my middle name, though. I let honesty and ethics show through how I design and interact with my clients. What you can openly expect from Ryan Christian Media is that you will receive services that are well done, on time, and above expectation. No jargon. No hype. Just good, honest service.
Get Moving
Get your design online today
An important saying at Ryan Christian Media is Get Moving. Ryan Christian Media exists to help small and medium sized businesses establish a presence on the internet. An ever increasing number of people want to use the internet to find out about your business, yet many business owners don’t have a website. Some just don’t know where to start. We help you Get Moving by making it easy to get online. We’ll help you find a host, get a design, and get online within a few weeks.
Where to start
We think WordPress is a big deal. It’s a great place to start. It allows you to have a custom look to your website and allows you to edit text and some content yourself without having to hire a web designer to keep your site up to date. Our sites are responsive so they are built to operate on all screens from desktop computers to tablets to smartphones.
Social Media
Is social media really a big deal? Yes, it is! The stats listed here from Pew research show how many people that you can reach with the integration of social media with your online business habits. Ryan Christian Media can help you get started on major social media sites and show you how to build an audience.
SEO
Search Engine Optimization, also known as SEO, is an important part of your online presence. Having a website that ranks well with search engines like Google and Yahoo means that you can be found easily. All websites built by Ryan Christian Media come optimized for search engines. Currently we don’t continue to do SEO for your site after launch so keeping up with SEO will be up to you. We can teach you how to do it yourself or we would be glad to help you shop for a good SEO company so that you can meet your business goals.
FAQ Section
What is your consulting process like?
After you contact us we set up a meeting. We will gather information about your project and go over some ideas with you. You don’t have to have all of the answers at once. We can give you direction for what needs to be done in order to Get Moving. Consultations take between 30 and 60 minutes.
What is your pricing?
Many website projects are completed for about $1000 to $2000 dollars. Keep in mind that we don’t do fully custom website work. That is why we can design for so little. Fully custom websites are often multiple thousands of dollars above what we charge. We specialize in getting you off of the ground fast and at a manageable rate.
What don’t you do?
Ryan Christian Media does not write custom web applications or build fully customized websites. Programming is a very time consuming and expensive skill. We achieve a custom look from the use of WordPress and pass the savings on to you. This means that there might be certain requests that we can’t complete because they can’t be accomplished with WordPress. It also means that you might be looking into a very expensive product.
What do you do that is different from an online website builder?
Web development is a learned skill. Many of our clients don’t possess the design knowledge or have time to spend with an online website builder. They want to spend their time building their business, not designing a website.
Sometimes you can’t get the look that you want because the one size fits all templates aren’t flexible enough. We bridge the gap between a subscription based web builder service and a fully customized gajllion dollar website.
What if I’m concerned about how my website will turn out?
All designs will be approved by you, the client. You are welcome to be very involved in the design process. We offer free revisions during the design process and perform small revisions for one month after launch. Keep in mind that revisions after site completion and the one month period may incur additional charges.
What are my monthly and yearly costs?
A domain name is usually between 10 to 20 dollars a year. It is an annual cost to keep it registered. You are responsible for determining what your domain/website name will be. You can see what names and extensions are available at sites like GoDaddy.com. It is a common practice to have a domain name that corresponds with your business name.
Hosting, where your website lives, costs around 4 to 10 dollars a month. I recommend a host like Godaddy where you can purchase one year of website hosting, a free domain name, and email for around 60 dollars (paid at once) for the first year.
Do you offer SEO?
We don’t offer SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as a service. SEO is an ongoing monthly task that can be take some time. Instead, we set up each website to be optimized and show you how the task can be accomplished on your own. You can hire a company that specializes in SEO after launch if needed.
