After getting a web hosting contract and registering your domain, you will need a web site which will be posted to the internet. Having a web page or a web site, is only viable when you get reaction and/or feedback from the site. Having a web site which does not generate any traffic and does not get any hits, is a total loss to a business. Our web sites are built around good principles, aimed exclusively at giving your business a boost. Have a look at our most frequently asked questions, and you will see why we should design a web site for you today!
 

I can create my own web site, why should I pay a webmaster to make one for me?

Yes, some people can create their own sites. But ask yourself; do I get hits from my site? If the answer is yes, well done to you. If not, you wasted a lot of time and money. Making a graphically appealing site, simple or complex, is worthless if your site is not listed in the top 10 of a search engine. Google uses OSP, PPC and google maps to list your site when a potential client google's a product which you have available. So you see, a well designed web site is more than just graphics, text and links. If you have a good understanding of these processes and you know how to implement them effectively, feel free to design the site yourself. If you have any doubts, rather contact us today!
 

I don't get enough reaction from advertising, so why would a web site help my business?

Let's say the printing and distribution of 1000 pamphlets costs you R300. These pamphlets are given to random people. Some are interested, but lots of them only end up littering their cars with it. Why? Because they did not ask for it. People using goggle to find a product, are interested before they connect to the internet. They are looking for what they ask for and not for what we want to give. For R500 we can give you a basic homepage and up to 5 branching pages and a mail page.

 
I have a beautiful web site Why don't I get as many hits as I should?
 

There are 4 possible reasons.

First: Your web site is not tweaked with all our marketing goodies which targets your market and generates hits which in turn gives you a strong search engine position (SEO).

Second: Lets say you are third on the Google search list; number 1 and 2 are better known than your site. You simply have to out-perform number 2 and 1.

Thirdly: Your site contains "Dead links". They say that among users, this is the greatest turn offs for users on the internet.

And lastly: Your site may have good graphics, but your site is too slow. Large graphics (large in file size) is the most common cause of slow web sites. We have picked 2 examples to demonstrate stacked in the left column with a note of the file size on the right of the graphic.

 
     
GOOGLE POWER

With the various range of tools provided by Google like PPC, AdWords, AdSense etc. it is now possible to have a website that lands high on the search engines. What does this mean? Say for example, you are a florist in Johannesburg and you have just published a website to the Internet.

A user wanting flowers delivered to his wife will access google and type the words "florist in Johannesburg". The proper use of google tools can ensure that when google retrieves the search results, you are listed in the first 10 search results. The higher you are on the search engines, the more chances you have of getting hits, and hits directly lead to more sales.

The use of these google tools requires systematic logic, a good knowledge of the different search engines and the correct (not necceceraly the most common) keywords to ensure more interest in your business. Please remember that there is no substitute for experience. Extensive experience with search criteria and search results is often the difference between success and failure on the internet.
