"How much will it cost me for just a normal website?" This is a common question and even though it's hard to define what a 'normal' website is, we can say about $900 to $1800 for a site consisting of home page and several additional pages. This can include a big images animation (a slider) on the home page, a contact web form, a live map and the whole site will be "responsive" meaning it will work just right on mobile phones, tablets or big desktops. A professional outcome, as they say. We can even add a very simple easy to use CMS system for a couple of hundred. We can also do logos, promo videos and even apps. Just have a chat with us to explore the opportunities.

Google operates two separate search indexes (indices, OK) - one for desktop sites and one for mobile sites. Given that morst searches are these days done by people using mobile devices, it means your site will not show up for anyone searching for your product on a mobile unless you have a mobile compatible site!

In other words, you should have a responsive website. For those that still don't know what this means, a responsive site is coded in such a way that it displays correctly on any device - mobile phone or large Mac desktop computer display. Check out our sites below.

We are being hit by RTOs! That's registered training organisations. More and more are coming to us for a website.

We have our own custom built student enrolment system and this is working fine for many of our clients, but we have come across a new solution we think should be mentioned - PowerproRTO - a hosted enrolment system which integrates nicely with our websites and provides the RTO a very user-friendly facility that allows you to publish courses, dates and prices, provides an enrolment system and then communicates nicely with a desktop application for the management of students. Importantly, it is able to spit out reports fully compliant with ASQA requirements. Now that's a real blessing and saves you hundreds of hours of work and big time stress.

Not so long ago everyone had come to realise that to get with the trends you need to have amobile friendly website.

What used to be a trend is now a critical requirement for websites. Basically, if your site is not mobile friendly then Google will push you down in the search results and will give priority to sites that are, for the given search term, mobile friendly. In other words if someone searches for, say accountancy service Coffs Harbour, then if Google finds two sites in Coffs that are relevant to that search term, it will position the mobile friendly site higher than the old type site. It goes beyond that of course because these days more people use mobile phones and tablets to search for stuff, so your site has to be usable when they tap the link.

Websites have become complex. Compared to say 5 years ago, websites have become dramatically more complex in terms of html coding, volume of code and varieties and numbers of javascript and other code files which load with every web page you access. Basically, to make a website work these days and make it display properly in hand held devices and phones requires a lot of skill and much more time. We would say making a html website used to be child's play. But it sure is not anymore! To save clients money, we use ready website templates and we then customise them. Saves lots of time and lots of money. Sure, we can build them from the ground up too. We can direct you to a wide range of templates, you take your pick and we work with it to make it unique. Just for you. Add a shopping cart or student enrollment system or membership system - no problem.
