Traditional advertising is on the decrease. Have you seen the size of your local Yellow Pages recently? When was the last time you used this? Also, newspaper advertising is down as the majority of people now use the internet to search for local products and services so without a web site, you simply won’t be found online.
Ideally, we would recommend that you give us a call to tell us a little more about you and your business. We can help tailor a package that suits your requirements. You could always start off on a
basic package and work your way up when you feel the time is ready.
You are responsible for writing the content/text for your website or alternatively we can provide a content writer for an additional fee.
After we’ve built your web site, you’ll want to ensure that it can be found by your target market. Fortunately, some exposure can be achieved automatically, adding your web site address to your local advertising, letterheads, business cards, sign writing etc. We will submit your site to the major search engines and along with optimising your web site, your site should start to be seen.
We would also recommend a Google Places Listing too and we can provide you with this service. Remember, the best solution to getting maximum exposure on the internet is to have a continued monthly marketing plan where you build your internet presence which in turn will gain you further exposure.
Simple. It is used in over 20,000,000 web sites worldwide which speaks for itself plus Google loves WordPress sites. Also, once your site has been built and is up and running, it is not that difficult for you to continue to add more content as time goes by if you so wish to.. In fact, your basic 6 page web site can soon become a haven of content with lots of pages. The only limitation is some WordPress training which we can also provide if required.
First of all we will give you a FREE initial consultation to determine your business web site requirements and will complete a design worksheet itemising your requirements. This will help us gather the information about your company, your services, your audience, and more.
We also ask you to provide examples of some websites you really like, for layout and colours, plus also your competitors’ websites. You can also have a look at our sample portfolio page and let us know if any of our previous website elements you like and we can incorporate the same for your business website.
Once you provide that information to us along with the content you wish to have on your site, we can get to work and create a draft of what your website will look like. At this stage, you can ask us to amend anything to create a look that will be both visually pleasing and user-friendly.
Your draft website is created on a temporary server site and once we have completed the work we will give you the temporary website link to view the website and this will give you a chance to see how your site will look and to put any final touches to the site as well before we transfer your new business website over to your domain/hosting.
On final approval and before transferring to your domain/hosting, we ask that the final payment is made. Once this transaction is completed then your web site will become live on the internet..
This depends on a number of things. Firstly how quick you decide to go ahead with your website. Secondly, how quick you are able to send us your content for us to put on your site and also any sites that you like etc from the question above and also how many design projects we have on the go at the time of your request. On average, we can normally turn around the whole project in 4 weeks but sometimes this is more. We will be able to give you an indication of likely completion time on initial inquiry.
Always remember, we can only work as fast as you allow us; turnaround time is client-dependent. If content for the site is provided sooner, initial and on-going instructions are clear and revisions requested are reasonable, our turnaround time can be significantly decreased but we do ask for your patience if we are busy. We will always keep you informed by either phone or e-mail.
We have 3 structured pricing plans to choose from. You can view our
pricing plans here to see what is available. If you are unsure about what plan to have, give us a call, we’d be more than happy to discuss your requirements.
Absolutely and we highly recommend this too. You will have full access to the web site and be able to change content, add content as and when required etc. If you have had previous word processing experience then using your content management system should be relatively easy to use. We can also offer some WordPress training if you prefer to get up to speed with the basics and we can do this on-site (a supplementary charge will occur for training). Alternatively, we offer a fully managed service so you don’t have to touch your site. Quotations for a fully managed web site are available on request.
Once your web site is complete and live on the internet, we will submit your site to the search engines to let them know your site exists. This does not constitute guaranteed search engine rankings and to maximise the potential of your web site and achieving top page rankings, it is recommended that you allow a monthly marketing budget for your site to gain higher rankings. We can offer this service using proprietary software that we use in order to help our clients achieve better search engine results. We will be happy to quote for this service. It is highly recommended that instead of using one of our web site pricing plans, you utilise the benefit of our marketing package which includes a fully optimised Google Places Listing, a business website along with continued monthly search engine and video optimisation.
