website design that works

Posted by Gita on August 26, 2009

For a small business your website is a working horse. Make it work to your advantage

As you can see, the new site has a ton of features the old site doesn’t:

Have a good clean professional looking design

information that will generate a sale or booking should be visible clearly at the top of the page

Free quote enquire now will generate leads

the Buy Now visible prominently on the home page

Phone number/contact details on every page to encourage people to ring you

Blog – keep your prospects and customers always in the loop about your products or services.

Display a gallery of your products/wares in a simple way with some description if neccessary

Have the site optimised for your niche keywords

Use web 2.0 methods like Twitter, Facebook, Blog, Feeds to spread awareness of your products.(One of my customers saw a big jump in his traffic to his site by tweeting on Twitter. Now he has a good relevant following there.)

Blog regularly with good relevant posts

Do all the above and keep marketing actively and see the results within a few months.

get your website revamped to a Web 2.0 one now by contacting me me for a free quote.

15 benefits of WordPress sites

Posted by Gita on July 14, 2009

editing without needing to know HTML
easy to update current events – takes a few minutes
No uploading of files – like static HTML sites
post-dating of articles so they can automatically “go live” in the future
reader participation through comments
organization of the content using tags – these are like signposts for search engines
If you already have a site and are switching to WordPress you can retain the URL addresses
easy addition of new functionality (because it is “open source”)
free support by the very responsive developer and user communities
Pinging facility – pings newsaggregators automatically
You can add gazillions of plugins to add more functionality
easy to integrate social media widgets – seamless with twitter, Digg etc
Instant traffic – no waiting 3 months to see a few visitors
So many free themes and custom themes to choose from
Add image galleries videos very easily

What more do you want? It is one click installation if you use Hostgator.

I set up a review site last night for a product with WordPress. It is a simple 4 page site with some useful articles. Guess what this morning in my stats I saw 11 unique hits.! If I had done a static HTML site I am sure this would have taken about 2-3 weeks or more. Two keyword searches for the very specific product I was recommending. Now way HTML site can achieve this.

So if you are a small business owner and want some quick exposure online, some targeted traffic contact me and I can set up a wordpress site for a very reasonable cost. I will train you to update your site and teach you basic SEO functions.

From my experience Google love WordPress.
