Don't let your web site, or lack of web site, drag your business down...
If your web site needs a "makeover", or suddenly seems lacking compared to your competitors', then let us help you take it to the next level. We can work with you to turn your underperforming or embarrassing web site into a professional business tool which helps you generate new and repeat business.
If you don't have a web site, then we'll work with you to analyse your needs and build you a professional-looking "corporate grade" web site which is free of "bling" and promotes an image of your company that is as professional as you are.
Our web sites are crisp and clean looking, "fast loading" and give even small businesses a "corporate" look and feel. They are also "search engine friendly" and designed with all of the modern legal usability guidelines such as the "DDA" in mind.
We specialise in eCommerce web sites, allowing you to sell your products or services online. eCommerce is one of the fastest growing web sectors in the UK, and current reports show that one in every six pounds spent in the UK is now spent in an online eCommerce web site.
Once the site has built, or "made over", then we can help you to actually use it as an active part of your business. A web site is more than just a bunch of dots and W's to hide away at the bottom of your business card, its a unique business tool that if used correctly can promote and build your business and turn past customers into repeat-buyers. Our team are experienced in helping to provide businesses of all sizes with the tools to do this.
As an example, we can make your web site "content managed" and give you the facility to change pages in seconds - as quickly and easily as editing a "Word" document . Customers like to revisit sites which change frequently and which they class as "fresh", and more importantly they are more likely to refer such sites onto their friends. Given the choice between a site which had up-to-date information on it every week, or one which was changed once per year, which would you trust more ?
Or we can implement "Newsletter" facilities (also known as "electronic mailshots"). Why continue printing out paper newsletters or business announcements and stuffing them into envelopes, when most of them will in turn be "stuffed" into your customer's rubbish bins ?! Customers dislike paper "junk mail", but do like regular updates, so sending these "electronically" not only pleases them but is far cheaper. With a prepared mailing list and a newsletter facility added to your web site, you could send a weekly newsletter with less than an hour's work. Build your mailing list up (or if you have one we'll import it), let us help you prepare some template newsletters, and then you are ready to start sending business updates. Taken on a new product or service ? Send a newsletter... Had a quiet month and decided to do a "special" or clear some stock ? Send a newsletter...
