Many companies are offering which on the face of it seem fantastic deals for website design and build services. We know this because we have had to dealt with the aftermath when some of our clients have had an awful experience with some of them. We say be very aware of these so called “deals” or “special offers” for the following reasons;

1. You have three crucial elements when you build a website;

(a) Consultation with the client to discuss domain name, the desired design, colours and clients “fit for purpose” expectation from the website.

(b) Key phrases, Keywords SEO It is fine building the website, but what use is it when the website can’t be found by your potential customers. It is crucial to have a detailed consultation with your client and see what keywords and phrases will generate business for them and optimise the new site to achieve ideally organic top page ranking.

Without any techno jargon you have probably worked it out that the companies who offer these fantastic deals don’t even ask you these questions. Most new websites built by these companies are so bad in technical design (not necessary to look at) that you cannot optimise them. So sadly you would have to spend even more money getting the job done again, properly.

(c) Maintenance provided you have the above “a” and “b” then one can build a website, but most companies will say thank you take your money and you have your website. What they won’t tell you is (if they knew themselves) after the site is on the web, that one needs to work on your website ranking so the search engines know you exist. In brief just one of the things we do is to submit your website to thousands of search engines and directories around the world every two weeks. This helps your website achieve more clicks and your website starts climbing in popularity and in turn the web page ranking. We offer this free for 12 months part of all the websites we build as it is crucial, no point building you a website and no one can find it. Another reason most companies won’t tell you about this is, that if the website has not been optimised it would be totally useless to submit your website to search engines as the information required by them won’t be there. A bit like putting petrol in car that has no engine and you expect it to go places.
