Getting Started
In order to complete your website quickly and efficiently, we will require the following information from you before we begin.
Content for your website
Your website's content should be easy to read, easy to find, and persuade your website's visitors to act! You might want them to contact you, place an order, register on-line, make a booking — whatever action
To help us help you, please provide us with as much written content as possible. Write or collect as much information about your business, products and/or services as you possibly can. The more content you can provide the better it will be for us to pull it all together into an effective and informative website.
Your business flyers, advertisements, business card, or any other marketing material you currently use will also be of use to us … please provide us with as much as you can.
Images and Photos
Please provide any good quality photos or images you currently use to market your business. A high quality image of your company's logo is also required. Don't worry about file or image sizes — we will crop or reduce them, as well as optimise them for use on your website.
Unable to provide any images? No problem! We can source high quality generic photos for you (at a small additional cost).
Marketing your website
Apart from registering your website with search engines, there are a number of ways to improve your "visibility" on the Web:
- have your website's URL (domain name) printed on every piece of stationary your business uses - letterheads, business cards, brochures, invoices, receipts, complimentary slips, greeting cards, product and shipping labels, envelopes - everything!
- include a link to your website's URL in every email you send - though do be careful to avoid sending unsolicited emails (SPAM)
- include your website's URL in all your advertising, in the Yellow Pages, in published professional and community directories
- visit newsgroups or discussion groups your target audience might frequent, become involved in their online community, leave helpful advice and sign-off with your name and URL
- have your website listed in every possible online business directory which directly relates to your business activity or product
