Reasons for using a professional website design company.

5 Reasons to Choose a Professional Web Design Firm

Across Australia there are many companies who either have a website, are in the process of getting one, or don’t have a clue as to where to start in having one. Whether on the Gold Coast or beyond, you will find that your business has several options when it comes to having Web design done. But not all options are created equal and your business will need to make the best choice in order to get the most bang for your buck.

When it comes to Web design, every business that cares about getting business should choose to work with a professional. When you choose professional Web design you are going to likely get better results than if you simply pick a template off the shelf or get your nephew to throw something together for you. There are numerous reasons why you should choose a professional Web design firm, including these five:

  1. Engagement. It is not enough to just get people to visit your website. You need to engage them. People have short attention spans and they are even shorter on time. You may have seconds to a minute to get their attention and keep them interested so that it ends up translating to business. Professional website designers know what works and what doesn’t. They can build a site that will engage your target market.
  2. Appearance. Without a doubt you have been to sites that make you cringe. You don’t want to be the site that makes people do that. Professional Web designers understand page layout, colors, graphics, and navigation. They specialize in knowing what is going to look good and be effective.
  3. Knowledge. Chances are you are not someone that specializes in Web design. And that’s okay! There’s something your business does specialize in, and a professional website designer will help you capitalize on that and put it in the best light. You can do what you do best, while you let a pro do the Web designer, which is what they do best. In the end, everyone comes out ahead.
  4. Growth. One of the main reasons your business should have a website is to get new business, as well as be readily accessible to your current customers. In order to get the growth that you are seeking from an online presence there are certain factors that are going to have to be met. A professional Web designer knows what those are, including when it comes to ecommerce, mobile friendly sties and apps, search engine optimization, and more.
  5. Investment. Creating a new website for your business, or re-vamping your old one, is an investment in your business. You want a good return, regardless of the time and money spent to create it. The best way to protect your investment when it comes to having custom website is to work with a professional Web design firm.

Companies around Australia, including on the Gold Coast, need a custom website solution that is going to help differentiate them from the competition. They also need a Web design site that is going to be effective and convert visitors into customers. These are all objectives that can easily be met when working with a professional Web design firm who takes the time to get to know your business, target market, and your goals. Only then, will you provide the return on investment you want, and need!

WordPress 101

This post is a beginners introduction to WordPress. WordPress is a widely used and supported blogging tool and content management system (CMS). Your WordPress site can be updated from your browseriPhone, iPad or Android device. In this post I have embedded some videos to get you started, you might not need to watch all of them as some may not apply to your particular setup.

The dashboard is referred to as the “back end,” of your site, and only you (and any users you’ve assigned) can see it. The “front end” is what the outside world sees when they visit yoursite.com. You can access both parts of your blog any time, to access the back end of your website visit yousite.com/wp-admin and login.

Introducing the Dashboard
