Web Design

Where will you host your web site?

Now that your web site has been designed, built, and tested the next question is “where will it be hosted?”

You could buy your own web server and host it yourself.  But even very large companies don’t try to do that any more.

There are many businesses offering web hosting services.  Most of them have their servers located overseas and are obviously vulnerable to the increasing congestion on international telecommunications links.

Our associate company Benvest Pty Ltd offers a web hosting service with the servers located in Australia and guaranteed 99.9 % uptime at very competitive prices.

Other Web Services

How will you maintain your web site?

Unlike a printed brochure, you can change your web site quickly and easily to reflect new products, new prices, changed specifications, etc.  There are also a few administrative tasks associated with running a web site.  You can do these yourself or we can do them for you.

If we host your web site then we will also set up your initial email mail boxes and handle the ongoing administration for you.

Similarly, we can handle updates to the pages on your site or add additional pages.

We can do this for you on either an hourly basis or we can offer a one, three, six or twelve month support contract which guarantees you priority response.

 

Web Site Marketing

Owners of new web sites are often disappointed at the initial response to their site.

Web sites are very much like word of mouth advertising - it takes some time to build up, but once established it is very powerful.

There are a number of ways of accelerating this process, and we can show you how to do this in a cost-effective way.

We can do this for you on either an hourly basis or we can offer a three, six or twelve month marketing support contract .

 

 

 

Web Site Addons

We can add many features to your site, such as online forums, online stores, photo galleries, etc.  A number of other companies offer similar products. If you don’t want to use ours, and you have a support contract with us, we can usually procure them for you and install and maintain them on your web site. 

How will you monitor your web site?

Having spent good money getting your own web site you, naturally, want to know how well it is working.  If we host the site for you we provide a comprehensive monthly report showing how many visitors you got to your site, which pages they viewed, and a host of other useful information.
