FAQ's
Where do I Start?
Designing a website may appear to be a very daunting thing; you may be wondering where to start. Here are a few ideas that will hopefully get those cogs turning:
- What is the main objective of your site (e.g. to advertise product/business, to present information)?
- Who is your target market?
- Do you have any corporate colours (colours that represent your business)?
- Do you have any ideas about the colour scheme of your site?
- Do you have any suggested fonts?
- Do you have a logo? If not, would you like us to create one for you?
- Have you viewed any other websites to gain ideas from? If so, make a list.
- Roughly how many pages do you want your site to be?
- What do you want on each page?
- Do you want Flash animations or Forms on certain pages?
- Will you need a hit counter (records the number of people that visit the site)?
- When completed, how often does the site need to be updated?
- What is your budget?
- Do you have any deadlines for the website to be launched by?
- Will you need search engine submission?
- Will you need your e-mail forwarding setting up?
What are the Advantages of Having a Website?
- A web site has been proven to increase the sales of a company dramatically.
- It helps to get a company or person recognised thus increasing corporate identity.
- If your web site looks professional then the customer will think that the company is professional.
- Many people have access to the internet and they find it easier to contact you via a web site. If you haven't got a web page then you are missing out on all of these potential customers.
- Your company will be advertised internationally allowing you to sell to a wider audience.
- Customers search for products and services online before making purchases which means that they will contact you instead of the competition.
- Your business is never actually closes therefore your customers can browse or shop 24/7. It is easily accessible both day and night.
- Consumers will educate themselves if they have a web site to refer to. This will reduce the amount of phone calls you receive with simple enquiries.
- Your web site can provide 'after sales' information which will reduce the number of custom service employees you have on staff.
- There is a potential for your web site to become a resource of information for both the public and your industry. This will boost your corporate image.
- You can inform your visitors about the structure of your company, your community involvement, the products and services that you offer, awards and employment opportunities. This will give your customers more confidence in your company and people prefer to do business with companies that they know something about.
- A web site can be accessed at home when a person is most receptive.
- Information can be updated regularly.
- It gives you a wider range of potential customers such as those in rural communities that only shop on the internet.
- It gives you the opportunity of being on equal ground with the largest of companies.
- Your web site will be available to 30-50 million people.
- Efficient advertising which means much lower costs than traditional printing and television advertising.
