We work with you to create a website you feel comfortable with and that is suited to your particular needs.
Why have a website?
There are many benefits for having a website. The internet is the fastest growing tool for modern businesses. Research shows that more and more people are using the internet to find products and services, both locally and world-wide. The main benefits of having a website are
- Your business is available 24/7 (even when you are out of the office)
- Goods can be purchased & paid for online (PAYPAL payment)
- Access a world-wide audience for your product/service (increased market)
- Contact large groups of people at little or no cost (advertising)
- See who is visiting your website (website statistics - market research).
How do we build new websites?
Our websites are designed using content management systems called Joomla & WordPress. These are powerful, open source (free software) systems that lets you manage your website from anywhere via the internet. If you are familiar with email and using the internet then you will have the skills required to maintain your own website without the help (and expense) of a web designer. However, should you need us we will still be there. Our site designs are search engine optimised. We can advise you on the keywords and content requirements to increase search engine rankings and can review this periodically.
Why use a Content Management System (CMS)
The content management systems we use (Joomla and WordPress) have a large range of 'plug ins' (extra bits) that can extend your website functionality - calendars, image galleries, blogging tools. Both Joomla & WordPress are suitable for all sorts of websites from small personal blogs to large corporate websites.
- easy to use
- edit and change your own website
- edit from anywhere with any web browser
- extendable functionality
- multiple users if required
If you are wanting to update your existing website talk to us about transfering it to an easily managed Joomla or Wordress CMS system.
Web hosting, domain name registration, email services
We can provide all your web hosting needs, email services and domain name registration.
Vital statistics - who is visiting your website?
It is vital to know how you are being found, what keywords are important and which pages people are visiting on your website. We will set up a powerful web statistics package so you know who is visiting your website, where they go, how long they stay and how they got there. We use a comprehensive statistics packages google analytics. This provides you with all the information that you will need to know about who is visiting your website and how they are getting there.
