Select your Community

Your Community Main Page on your SKEDS website showcases businesses and community development. You select the categories of information you want to display such as business listings, special promotions, news, or event calendars. Your Skeds community page requires no special technical knowledge to change. It’s as simple as updating a Facebook page. You can even give several different people permission to edit particular parts of your website.

Community-sponsored initiatives are most successful when the community spends time and advertising dollars promoting the program. But how do you maximize the result while minimizing the price? First, Skeds shows you what has worked for other communities. Second, Skeds lets you know how your efforts are working with detailed statistics that track the volume and source of your website’s traffic.

Your Skeds website includes a business toolkit for each business. The business toolkit offers businesses a basic webpage with profile, logo, business hours, address, and description; a contact management system to help businesses reach their customers; and an online forum to advertise promotions or special events. Businesses create and update their business webpage, so listings rarely get stale. The profile page can act as a business’s stand-alone webpage or as additional advertising that capitalizes upon the synergies created by a community listing.

For your businesses, dynamic promotion means the ability to post Specialized Coupons to their profile page, or to offer discounts at times of low demand. But for your community, dynamic promotion means much more: Your website is always changing, even from minute-to-minute, cycling through special offers from your businesses. Your community can even feature one business’s special offer each day, welcome new businesses, or publicize your yearly “best of” awards.

And because your website connects all of your businesses, a customer searching for a discount at a single business can snowball into that customer gaining a full awareness of all of your businesses.

Your Skeds website shows potential businesses that your community actively promotes its businesses, and that your concept is fresh and current, while providing a way to showcase online the synergies created by your community, extending your reach far beyond local, drive-by traffic.

This handy add-on shows real-time availability for your community’s facilities and allows people to reserve those facilities from your website. Reduce overhead costs and improve accessibility in one easy step. Prices for facility scheduling start at $20 per month.

Even a simple website can cost thousands to create, and even more to maintain. But a simple website won’t keep your community connected because a simple website isn’t dynamic, doesn’t change, and requires constant upkeep to prevent becoming obsolete. In short, a simple website won’t keep your community engaged. Your Skeds website is constantly updated by businesses, groups, and any numbers of community employees. Your only costs are a one-time set-up fee and a flat monthly fee. When your community signs up, you’ll get 6 months FREE, and the option to terminate your contract during those 6 months if you don’t like the service. We give you 6 months free to get your businesses signed up and to get the ball rolling before residents start getting on and using it. If you like it, it’s between $100 and $300 per month depending on your population and number of businesses in your city, and you’ll lock in that rate for the duration of your contract. The monthly fee covers the cost of maintenance and hosting, so you don’t have to worry about a thing!

Every group, civic organization, church, and sports team in your community can post their calendar of events to your website. Every citizen can view every calendar and add any event to his or her personal calendar with one click. Talk about keeping your community connected! And community employees don’t need to mess with adding or maintaining the accuracy of the calendars on the website because groups manage their own calendars.
