1. We are anticipating that the website will have 10 to 12 pages. Besides the usual home, contact and about us pages, we intend to have specific pages on the various roofing solutions that will be offered by Dependable Roofing. Thus using asphalt shingles will for traditional roofing will have its own page, but when it comes to metal roofing or slate roofing, the user will be able to find a dedicated page with information about just that aspect of the service.
2. Another few pages will be dedicated to specific items like cleaning up the gutters during the fall and getting ready for winter or damage to the flashing of the chimneys tc.
3. Dependable Roofing will also be having a page on their commitment to using green certified products like wood shakes and shingles.

The website will also hold a repository of all the past newsletters that Dependable Roofing has sent out to its existing clients, and will provide anybody the ability to sign up for the newsletter with a couple of clicks. Each page also be optimized for search engines will become the landing page when an targeted advertisement is run offering specials on that particular service - thus if the firm decides to run a fall gutter cleaning special on Google, the users who click the advertisement will be directed directly to the specific page pertaining to the cleaning and inspection of roofs and getting ready for winter.

The website will also include photographs and biographies of James and Carmine and will allow the user to share any of the pages on social media.
