Websites to suit a variety of purposes
The internet has proved its worth in gathering the knowledge and other information in a way that is easily accessible from anywhere in the world.
In a time like this, a business with a presence on the Internet, has a head start in finding new markets as well as coordinating with existing customers by providing them with an easily accessible point of contact in their website. This website also serves the purpose of creating a company image that visitors can absorb as they surf their way to the information they need. The more enjoyable and useful this experience is, the better your company seems to be.
While good websites don't come cheap, it is still debatable if you can reach a comparable market with any other medium if provided with a similar budget.
There is a lot your website can do for you while minimizing your work and affording flexibility and convenience to both your customers and your staff. Brochures, payment terms, FAQs, Contact information, product informations, comparisons and availability information and more can simply be put up for your market to know about it at their own convenience without being pushed into anything. Online billing and payments are much faster than couriered cheques.
At Wide Aware we believe that it is important to create attractive designs that have a lasting impact, without consuming too many resources that would lead to delays in accessing the site. It is also important to have a straight-forward, self-explanatory navigation structure that lets visitors find their way around easily. It is important that the site is sound in terms of technical aspects like compatibility, or the use of soft wares and platforms suitable to its audience and server. There is a lot of other small stuff that you don't even notice when it exists, but creates an extremely incompetent image by being absent.
At Wide Aware, we don't just talk about these things, we do them. In fact, if you can explain the nature of your site and overall requirements, we can come up with economical and effective ideas to bring it to reality. We can also organize domain names and hosting spaces for those who would rather not get into it themselves.
If you notice, we don't use jargon. That is for us to know, and you to remain free from. We believe that fancy words are not as important as the end result and we use technologies to fit rather than aiming to design in Flash, or use HTML coding or Javascript effects.... We prefer to see requirements and achieve results with the knowledge available to us.
Please note that you can do all of this and more yourself, if you have the patience and the interest to learn. I have added a page with tools that could be of use to those monitoring their own sites and computers.
Earning from your Website
Well designed websites with good content can also earn money from advertising and referral revenues. You can design your website to be informative, and rather than selling services, choose to generate advertising revenue from the content.
This has an added benefit of allowing you to create a website on any subject of interest to you, that helps develop your knowledge base through an unending search for interesting information, or generates money for something you enjoy doing in any case. Earning from advertizing>>
Website Hosting we recommend
Many webhosts offer very good services, but keep in mind that you get what you buy. Your package is just the beginning of a long relationship with your hosting provider. Support, quality and your site being accessible all the time, with little downtime, is the key to a happy relationship.
While there is no such thing as the perfect provider, like the perfect husband or wife or boss, some work out better than others. I'm listing the ones I know to be reasonably good.
This site is hosted on MochaHost, and my over enthusiasm for adding all kinds of stuff here has often landed me into parts where I need something figured out or done by them, for my site to work as I want it to work. They have proved co-operative and punctual with their services, and are one hosting provider I would unhesitatingly recommend to anyone who wishes to create a website.
Website Design
It is one of the most important things you can do to creating a presence with a worldwide access. Your site speaks about your company, it stands for your company on the internet. Naturally, It has to reflect your company image. A site about cutting-edge technology has to work fast, be extremely organised and look modern. A matchmaking site can look rosier and have some entertaining activities, even if it means compromising on the speed. A film production house needs their site to show off their graphics and visual abilities. Each site has a special need to contain the spirit of the company in a virtual world.
We back up our creations with efficient programming to do justice to the project. Interactivity, eyecatching designs and efficient performance are the foundation of all our work.
Online payments
Your website can be set up to process online payments when you make a sale, ensuring high retention of customers from immediate payment and booking confirmation facilities.
Advertisement
Online advertisements are another effective tool, if you are planning to sell products. Advertising on websites with visitors that match your target customer group is a good way of developing a reputation for your products and lead to enquiries that help sell them.
You can also place advertisements on your site to generate money through your site.
Website promotion
We offer services for the optimization and maintainence of your website so that it is easily found by potential customers and leading search engines, while providing up to date information to those browsing it. more>>
Presentations
Your website can be set up a CD to serve as an informative presentation for distribution with an ease of loading and independent of internet connections. Such presentations can have almost the same functionality of a website except for certain interactive elements. Presentations can be setup to autorun, when a CD is inserted, or even adapt to the capabilities of the computer accessing them.
