Are you struggling to keep up with the Jones' with your website strategy?
You don't follow the Jones' as you can rest assured they're probably doing it the wrong anyway and probably costing them a fortune. We will show you how to build a website doing it the right way, saving you loads of time and hard earned cash. GUARANTEED.
We've gone back to basics with our new website in an attempt to demonstrate that you don't need a fancy design with loads of 'Bells n Whistles' to make a success from the Internet.
If you stick to basic website development techniques and proven systems you'll soon be working closely with your own online community that any business would be proud of.
There's plenty of time to spread your wings and be creative
We're used to continually having to justify our expenditure with our customer projects every step of the way. In our approach we've completely streamlined the website development process to help our customers get results quickly and at a minimal cost.
As a Project Manager myself, I'm a massive advocate of building wireframes throughout the Research & Development phase of a project. Stop printing off loads of documents, Save a Tree, start working in the medium the resulting project is going to be running in as soon as possible, it will get people focused.
Get the foundations right and the rest will follow seamlessly
Building a website let alone an online fully remote business driving you sales 24/7, there's a lot to learn and we're still learning every day. Rather than keep this information stored in our heads we're now intent on sharing exciting new techniques with our customers.
In our approach we describe website production using the metaphor of building as house. Basically, you wouldn't get the interior designer and soft furnishings expert into your house until you've got the foundations in place, the walls built and some personal character being injected into the project.
Why should your website be any different?
Usually because of website production restrictions and bottlenecks in content publication due to cost and third party restrictions. We worked for years building static HTML wireframes constructing customer content, which was like extracting blood out of a stone sometimes, but the benefits were enormous.
By focusing on the content working with a text based static HTML website it enabled us to get our clients to focus on the content rather than being drawn to the fun part of design. More often than not people want to concentrate solely on the design thinking this will win people over.
What will win people over?
Ultimately, the web is all about content. People used to refer to it as the 'Information Highway' which was such a great description of what it's all about at the end of the day. The success of the web is reliant on the connecting people with relevant content which is the key contributing factor. Relevancy of content.
Although jazzy designs and strong branding is important, in our opinion unless you've got an existing brand identity worth protecting you could spend your time being a lot more productive using our CMS to wireframe your content using our online tools to develop your own website ideas.
Don't panic! Help is at hand as and when required
If at any time you get stuck don't panic, where here to help as and when. Of course there is a charge but as we continue to develop content and publish it online, we're here to educate not dictate so costs will reduce in relation to the time spent on learning the skills yourself.
