FAQ
Simple to Use Websites
Why are your websites simple to use?
We build your website using WordPress, one of the worlds leading and most simple to use website software systems.
Many millions of websites and blogs are built using this software which has the following features:
- No tricky software to install. You simply go to a simple website address and enter your username and password to get access
- You can update it yourself without paying anyone else to do it. It’s “Just like a word processor”. You can create and edit pages with a screen that looks just like your word processor. You can change the content and the look and feel of the content whenever you want.
- Your software will never get left behind. Why? Because WordPress is always being updated and can be upgraded with a click of a button. In addition there are thousands of software developers writing FREE Software to expand the functionality of WordPress.
They come with a Built in Blog
Because your website is built using WordPress it comes with built in blog functionality. Think of it simply as the News section of your website. It’s where you post articles or news about your company, your products or your industry.
These articles or “posts” are great for the search engines as they contain your keywords and help search engines connect you to customers looking for your goods and services.
Cost Effective
Choose from predesigned websites
By choosing from a range of beautiful predesigned websites which we then customise, you can have a website up and running faster and more cost effectively than a custom built website.
In our experience the key reason for delays in getting websites completed are complex designs which require time consuming reviews and revisions.
By starting with predesigned websites, we fast track the design process, which gets you a website faster and more cost effectively.
Other Information
Where do I start?
To make sure the process of creating you a website runs as quickly and as easily as possible we ask you to collect some information prior to commencing your website. This is to ensure that there are minimal delays in the process.
Some of the the key information you should try to pull together includes:
- If you have a domain name or a hosting account already then we ask that you get the user names and passwords of your domain and hosting account together.? This information allows us to quickly install your website at the web host. If you don’t have a domain name or hosting then we can help you pull those things together.
- Get together your existing logos, colours designs and pictures you may wish to have included on the website.
- Start writing your web copy. Copy is simply the text on your website.? You know the pages, about us, products and services, why we are so great, that sort of stuff.
If you have this information before we start the design process will progress with minimal delay.
How long does it take to get a website completed?
Assuming you have all of the required information at hand you can expect to have a website between 14 working days to 30 working days barring major holidays or natural disasters. The difficulty in estimating time exactly is that delays always seem to arise when getting the content together which is why if you have this information ready in advance we can proceed much more quickly.
Do you provide hosting and domain registration?
We don’t provide domain registration or web hosting ourselves but highly recommend the following providers, all of which we have used ourselves.
- Domain Registration – USA: Godaddy
- Domain Registration – Australia: NetRegistry
- Domain Hosting – Bluehost
