So you're a small to medium sized business owner - and you're in the frustrating position of needing a stylish, cost effective web site. A website that doesn't cost a lot - because you're on a budget - but you want something that's cheap, functional, reliable and stylishly attractive! Affordable web design is the answer!

In your web marketing efforts, getting to the front page of Google search results should be your primary focus, if your web site is there to attract new customers to your business. If you are publishing a site to act as a family tree or sporting club fixtures listing, then search engine optimisation is not necessary.

Be sure to have quality content ready to upload to your website, your readers crave it.

Read on - I was once in the same boat, and frustrated beyond belief that I couldn't find a plain English speaking fellow Aussie web designer, Melbourne based, that could give me what I needed, without all the technical stuff becoming unbearable.

I kept a careful log of the learning process- and in consulting and subsequent web design projects, with clients, I cover the things I wish I'd have known, before the journey began...

Things like how to save money on web design, getting a website design right from the start. Uncovering and eliminating the hidden traps that always catch the unwary. Here are some of the hidden traps for people new to website ownership[, and web hosting:

Updates are a different thing altogether- websites need regular quality updates, much like popular topical blogs.

Ideally an eye catching website design, built within an effective and easily "user managed" (by you) content management system, is the answer. Instead of paying outrageous fees to web designers for regular updates and changes (should you wish to make them) you can be the captain of your own ship, master of your own destiny - knowing there is a five - click backup system in place should you manage to do the "nearly impossible" - press a number of buttons in the (in)correct order, and lose the lot.

No website would be complete without images- and it's amazing how many people present very ordinary photos for use online. These photos represent them, their business or product, so it should be that any photographs on your web site should show their subject in a favourable light, not show how many corners the photographer cut, by shooting the pictures on his or her phone. As part of our service, we will photograph your product, premises or venue properly- in a good light that leaves a favourable impression on your visitor. You'll be free to use the images for any purpose, without paying ongoing usage fees, or having to make a new agreement every year, or with every new defined use of the image(s). One licence agreement-  and you're good to go, with photography that can be displayed anywhere. It is essential that you have a copyright release and photography agreement form drawn up for any images you intend to use anywhere on the internet or in print.

So call us today. Put our website through its paces. Use the different contact forms, see how it all works. Ask us today how easily and inexpensively we can create an effective web presence for you, with budget, affordable web design and websites that work - first time every time, without ongoing maintenance!

Of course, your site is of no value unless it attracts traffic. Sitting on some hosting company's hard drive, costing you money and doing nothing-  your site needs qualified traffic to work its magic and convert visitors to customers.
