Differnt Types of Websites
Choosing how you want to update your website to work is an important step.

Content Management System
If you plan on making weekly updates, then a CMS (Content Management System) is recommended. This essentially means your website has a login allowing certain access to be able to add / remove content including pages, images and text. There are two categories of CMS:

• WordPress: WordPress is a standard CMS. Basically Word Press is free, you just purchase a ‘template’. This CMS is a great if you want to create a blog or make a cheap website. Some problems with this option
  • It can be hard to be found on Search Engines such as Google
  • It can be costly for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
  • If not updating regularly, to remember / re learn how to update is frustrating
  • Potential security risks – especially with emails / contact forms
• Customised: Depending on the requirements of the site, a customised CMS is a better solution. Every element can be more easily modified and the interface is more intuitive. This is superior option, which comes with a larger price tag.

Free website builders
There are more and more Free online website builders out there. Most marketed in Australia is WIX.
This is a good solution for a first website if you have zero budget and a lot of spare time.
Essentially, after you invest time building the site, you are confronted with many requirements that need additional expense. Sometimes these additional costs add up to quote a bit
Some of the issues are

• messy code (Google looks for ‘clean code’)
• It can be hard to be found on Search Engines such as Google
• very hard to add certain customisation
• Potential security risks – especially with emails / contact forms

Print Promotion Websites
Our websites have responsive design and are professionally constructed for viewing across platforms. You can rest assured that your website will look great no matter what website browser your customer is using. We have created and optimised a work flow to provide excellent quality websites whist keeping our prices cheaper than similarly suited providers.

Here is a quick rundown on our standard process:

• Needs Analysis: A need analysis session with client (in person / via form / or over the phone)
• Proposal of project: A proposal is provided to the client outlining all components of the proposed site – with NO hidden costs.
• Design Proposal: Design / layout of main components of website so the client has a good understanding of how the site will turn out
• Template purchase: We purchase a template on behalf of your business best suited to the approved design / layout. This is a huge saving as many elements are pre premade
• Custom coding: Custom coding of the site. Having the template is only a small component of the project. We hand code and optimise the site to make the best possible outcome for the client’s budget.
• Domain and Hosting Setup: See more info Here
• Coming soon page: You have presence and contact details whilst your site is being built.
• Staging Environment: Password protected access to review changes throughout the build process. Mush testing is performed in this stage including checking the site on various devises and browsers.
• Live website: After the client approves the site on staging, the website is available to the world
• Search Engine Submission: We submit your website so it can be found in the major browsers (Google / Bing / Yahoo etc)
• Site Maps: We create and assign page and image sitemaps to Google.
• Google Analytics: We setup a analytics account and provide you access you can see how your website is tracking.
• Search Engine Optimisation: This is to get your website found by users in search Engines. Optional SEO packages are available.
• Updates: We charge a modest $88 per hour for services including website development. Many times, a quick change is not charged for.

It should be noted that templates are not the ‘best’ method to create sites.. The best method is to clean hand code every single line. The benefits of this is there is no excess code or resources required to power unused elements. This being said, you pay A LOT more for it. Our general approach is to carefully optimise code based off the projects requirements.

Hand coded sites have superior security. In our experience, we have seen countless CMS sites being hacked and used to send spam mail. This can be detrimental to your business.
We feel prevention is better that a delayed cure.
With ever changing website standards, can you afford to be left behind?.
