Website Design

Website's are very cost effective when compared to other forms of advertising and information can be updated quickly and easily. You can choose to have a website that you update or that our designers update for you.

We build simple and complex sites from 1 page brochure-style to full Content Management System (CMS) sites with Email Marketing and eCommerce Shopping Carts.

We don't build just websites, we build online businesses. They are search engine friendly with a modern interface and easy navigation.

Domain Names

Your domain name is extremely important. It needs to be memorable, easy to spell, search engine friendly and if possible include your most important keywords. We can help you select and register the best domain name for your business and supply a license notification when your domain name is due to expire.

Depending on availability, you can choose from com, .com.au, .net, .net.au, .org, .org.au, .info, .biz. and have either a 1 or 2 year license. The .com.au can only be purchased by registered Australian businesses/companies.

With over 83 million .com domain names currently registered it is getting harder and harder to get the domain that you want. .co is a new global domain available to purchase from June 2010.

Using the booking module system you can promote and manage bookings for events, seminars, concerts or training with a booking form and payment system. Set social event booking capacity limits and follow up emails before and after the event booking.

Then using the analytics and reporting system, you can track the success of your event and customer information for future event planning.

CRM (Customer Relationship Management)

All your customers contact details, past web form submissions, eCommerce orders, secure zone subscriptions, email subscriptions and more are configured in the CMS system to manage inquiries and create sales opportunities. This gives a central view of your customer's ongoing activities.

From online shop orders to blog comments, forum posts to contact forms, member activity to email marketing, it's all tracked and listed to give a complete view of customer behaviour. Then the flexible report generator creates customer reports based on various criteria that can be downloaded into an Excel document for further analysis.

Email Marketing

You can create unlimited campaigns and send as many newsletters as you like. The first 10,000 emails per month are included in our online business hosting plans with extra emails only costing 1c per email. The Email system tracks open rates and click-through's, plus the actions your customers take after they click on links within your emails.

Choose from over 200 design templates and create an unlimited number of email marketing lists either from your subscribe forms and CRM or from email lists imported from applications like Excel. You can also automate sales responses by creating a pre-written series of emails which are sent to a customer after they subscribe.

Online Training

Online memberships are created through the online business console and your members or participants can access training material, online movies, blog's and forums in a secure zone with 128bit encryption. You can also allow secure 'members only' downloads for your training materials / manuals.

Affiliate Programs and Banner Advertising

If your website is going to sell advertising, then Ad Rotators allow you to create areas within a web page that rotate advertisements in HTML, Flash or an image format. They then track impressions and click-through's, so you can measure the return on your advertising investment.

Blog's, RSS Feeds and Forums

The online business console allows you can maintain multiple blog's and forums. You can collect comments on posts, pages and products, start up a forum and syndicate pages using RSS.

Reporting and Analytics

SEO, Adwords and Social Marketing

We organise your SEO to ensure that you have great organic rankings and are listed on the search engines quickly. Using meta data, keywords within your site, strategic titling and page text we can help you make the most out of your site.

If you require additional site marketing, Google Adwords and Facebook marketing are great options at a pay-per-click rate. This can be designed to your budget and can be monitored and updated regularly.

If you require social marketing setups in Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Linkedin etc. we can setup your campaign, help you get started and update your information. We can also link your RSS feeds from these networks to your site so that you can show the latest information to your clients at the click of a button.
