Have you ever thought about creating your own Website but thought it was all too hard? We can design and build an affordable, professional looking Website tailored to meet your requirements.  We can host your website, register a Domain Name, and provide e-commerce solutions as well. All of our websites employ a Content Management System (CMS), which means you can log-in to the back-end and edit pages and control the content yourself without the need to rely on us to make changes for you.

We have web design experience across a range of different industry sectors.  This enables us to offer you suitable design concepts for your website.  Some clients prefer to give us a web design brief which can be as simple or as detailed as you like.  However in most cases it usually works out that the client prefers us to come up with a web design for them.  Our website designs use standards-compliant HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to ensure cross-browser compatibility and search engine friendliness.  A web site designers job is more than just creating a visually appealing web design.  A website or web page needs to be more than just eye candy, it needs to be optimised for search engine results.  This is known as Search Engine Optimisation or SEO.  It can mean the difference between appearing near the top of the search results and therefore delivering more customers, or being buried somewhere down the list.  A lot of website designers ignore the SEO aspect and concentrate on the “look”.  The reality is, your website designer may be a great person, and your web site may look fantastic, but without the proper SEO, your web site just won’t work for you.

Below you can see a Google search result for Website Design Morayfield.  This result was achieved through the implementation of solid SEO practices for the chosen keywords.  If you are not on the first page of a search result, then you are not seen.  The reality is that most people will not look past the first page, and indeed not look past the first 5 or so results.  So you can see how important it is to your business to be near the top.

SEO Website Design 

There are many different effects that can be added in the website design process including Flash animation. Flash animation is ideal for creating attention grabbing headers, banners, or displaying a series of images, but it isn’t great in SEO terms because Search Engines cannot see the content and therefore any keywords you may have embedded within the Flash is ignored.  So although a web designer may be able to create a whole website based on Flash, and it looks quite spectacular, it’s not really a good idea.  So when we design a website, we will use Flash for the eye candy aspect, but we still include static images and lot’s of text content and coding because this is what search engines look for.  So the key point to take from this is that the web site design is more than just what the web site looks like, and more about how the web site performs and attracts visitors.

    Hi.
    I’m looking for someone to design a CMS website for my business, specifically a WordPress based website.
    A friend of mine showed me the backed of theirs and it seemed fairly easy to use and understand compared to Joomla which is what I have been using.
    Do you guys do WordPress websites?

  2. admin January 20, 2013 at 1:32 pm #

    Hi Natalie.
    We certainly do design, manage and maintain WordPress websites.
    See Custom WordPress Websites.
    In fact it is the only CMS platform we use because, as you have pointed out, it is so easy to use and understand.

    Hi.
    I’m looking for a local web designer and found you on a Google search.
    I have a small business selling auto parts, and I was wondering what sort of cost would be involved to set up a website with eCommerce.

  4. admin January 23, 2013 at 11:55 am #

    Hi Grant.
    We can certainly help you out.
    As for costs, well that depends on many factors.
    But as a start, there are some upfront costs I can give you.
    You will need to register a Domain Name at $44/2 yrs.
    Website Hosting starts at $99/yr for a 25GB plan.
    There is a monthly maintenance fee along with a charge for a backup plugin which totals $165/yr.
    This covers updates and a backup of your entire website every month.
    Other than that, there are labour charges for the time spent on development and consultations.
    Give me a call to discuss this in more depth.

    Hi.
    What is involved in getting an eCommerce website done?

  6. admin January 23, 2013 at 7:01 pm #

    Hi Rebecca.
    Wow, that’s a difficult question to answer simply.
    In a nutshell, everything you do for a standard website, plus adding each product with all it’s details and pricing along with shipping information.
    In short, there is a fair bit of work required.
    The good news is, that if you are prepared to do a lot of the work adding products yourself, then the cost is greatly reduced.

    Hi.
    I just want a simple website.
    Maybe 2 or 3 pages.
    What sort of cost am I looking at?

  8. admin February 3, 2013 at 6:53 am #

    Hi Cecilia.
    I get this question quite often, and the first thing I would ask you is what you want to achieve from your website.
    Most people answer that they want to generate more business.
    Unfortunately, just creating a website with a few pages will not achieve that goal.
    To rank well in Google search results requires a website with lot’s of good quality content, along with the appropriate SEO for each page.
    A Social Network strategy including Facebook, YouTube and possibly Twitter should also be on your radar if you want to effectively market your business online.
    The setup for a simple website is the same as a complex website anyway, so you should consider creating more pages with quality content.
    If you would like to know more please call to discuss.
