Affordable Website Design & Hosting For the Small Business in Lancashire
The steps in creating your new Website
Step 1 - The Initial Appointment & Finding Your Business Needs
Here at Dinky Sites we understand that every business is different.
Because every business has a different image & service, the look of your website will be designed to suit your needs.
Upon request we can arrange an initial appointment to discuss your business and how we should approch your unique design.
Tell us all about your business, who is your target audience, what do you want your website to do for you?
How do you want your website to look? colours? pics? the image of your business? etc
Decide on your pages (max 10 pages)
Targeting your keywords - Getting a detailed description of your business is essential, this helps us in finding the right "keywords" which in turn helps your site to be found easier on search engines such as Google or Yahoo
For example, if you own a fancy dress shop in Preston, potential customers are more than likely to search on Google for "fancy dress shops north west" or "Preston fancy dress" or if you are a plumber, "plumbers in chorley" or "cheap lancashire plumbers" etc..
Targeting Keywords "Search Engine Optimisation"
Step 2 - The Design of Your Website
We are now ready to design the first draft of your website.
Most people like their websites to be full of images and
pictures of their place of business.
To cater for this we offer a free photography service as part
of the package.
Image is everything, always remember that your website is an extension of your business.
The right images appearing on your website can mean the
difference in someone buying your product or service.
The most effective images to use include photos of your shop front,
a group picture of you and your staff otherwise known as "Meet the Team" and pictures of your showroom or shop floor etc
When we have all the info & pics we need we will have the first draft of your website ready within days not weeks.
Upon completion of the initial draft we will then send you what we have completed. From here you can ask us to tweak or make any relevant changes.
Your website will not go live unless you are 100% happy.
The Final Step - Sending your new Website Live
When you are happy with your new website we are then in the great position of sending your website live, ready to be viewed by thousands of potential new customers.
Your website address (domain name) will then be attached to your site and can be live on the web almost instantly.
Your website will appear on Google and other search engines
(this can take a few weeks to appear)
One of the most important pages to appear on your website is the contact page. This is where most of your customer enquiries for your business will be generated.
If you do not have an e-mail account we can set this up for you free of charge.
From here on your website will continue to work for you and your business.
