Website Updates

ROCsites to the rescue!

What is a ROCsite?
ROCsites are targeted to businesses that have the need (and who doesn't these days) for a typical multi-page web site, but do not have the time or expertise to complete a project of that kind.

We have developed a plan for member businesses to have a web presence at well below market rates. By being linked to the Chamber's website you receive improved business visibility in the major search engines.

So what is included in a ROCsite? You will have a complete web page, a business email account, a unique sub domain name hosted with www.royaloakbusinesses.com that is linked to the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce's website. We will update your page twice a year. This complete package gives you the ability include a coupon for your customers, a map to your business location, up to 3 photos, your business logo, and up to 3 attached documents to be used for things like price lists.

What will a ROCsite page look like? Simply follow this link to see the four different templates that are available.

How much does a ROCsite cost? The basic package, as described above, is only $199 per year. So, what are you waiting for? If you think a ROCsite might work for you, call the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce for more information or for technical questions, 248.547.4000.
