Unleash your business potential with a fresh website
Hosting
Make sure you are crystal clear about where your website will be hosted, and what platform. Which country? What are the costs going forward? There is nothing worse than having someone host your website on a slow underpowered Server, which your customers will then bear the pain of watching it slowly crawl along, damaging your reputation.
Reputable business
Is your Web designer going to be around when you want to change something? Refresh a page, your domain expires or anything? We can't tell you how many times we have helped Businesses that have been ghosted by a Web designer, often finding they didn't even build their site but outsourced it overseas. Choose carefully, get someone that has been around and will be around going forward.
Secure site
Make sure your Website has a SSL Certificate (Secure Socket Layer). Basically this means your website has been verified by trusted authorities and when customers visit your website they don't get the ugly "NOT SECURE" message which is a killer fo your reputation.
Website tips for your Business
We have put together a list of the common mistakes, myths and traps we have dug some of our customers out of over the years, and we have listed them here to help you get a great website to represent your business in the best light.
Get to the point!
Great pictures, graphics and videos are all good, but nothing beats getting to the point fast! Your customers don't have time to read between the lines, they are impatient and will move on. Think of this as your Digital elevator pitch, 15 sec and it should be crystal clear what you do, and why they should choose you.
Descriptions
Please get a professional reviewer to tidy up your messaging and grammar, it's really that simple. Most good Web designers will get this done for you and then let you approve the changes.
Photography
Don't settle for blurry lifeless pictures, and avoid disingenuous stock images that don't reflect your business.
Most businesses actually have decent pictures of their business, albeit hidden across all their staff's phones. Ask your staff to pool all their "work pics" and then store them all in a folder. Review them, pick out the good ones, and copy these into a folder that everyone has access to, this will help your business show it's best imagery.
