Excellent Question. I'm sure you've seen all the advertising that says "Cheap Hosting, Cheap Set-up,  free this, that and the other". So have we.

Of course, if you've been in business for more than 10 minutes, you'll know that these are really just Loss Leaders, a common tactic used to 'get you in', and then require you to spend additional money to create the solution you really want, whilst wasting your valuable time.

We take a slightly different approach. We start out with the goal of what you want to achieve, and then tailor a low cost package that includes all the elements necessary to achieve your goal. There's nothing more important than creating communication and understanding. And we do it in a simple way.

First, we come to you. "What?"

Yes, we come to you and find out what you want to acheive. We remember who the customer is. You.

Most small business people don’t appreciate how much a web site could be working to build their business - and it’s simply because they don’t know what’s possible.

A lot of business owners haven't taken that leap into developing a small business website, and even for those that have, many see a web site purely as advertising space - a giant billboard on the net.

As new technologies emerge however, this old philosophy is being challenged by the idea of a web site as a sales person that never has to sleep. If implemented properly with your business goals in mind, your web site can help you keep in touch with your clients, attract new clients, store or present  valuable information, and even provide services and activities that would normally take up much of your valuable time.

And yet its possible for it to be so much more. Give us the opportunity to show you what is possible, and help your business grow.

What if you've registered your domain name(s) but then found your current registrar's support inadequate? Or you've found another that offers cheaper renewal rates. Or maybe, you just want to consolidate your domain name holdings under one company? For whatever reason you want to transfer, three things are important to know/.

Exactly how do you go about the transfer? How much will it cost you? And how long will it take?

How?

The process varies from registrar to registrar. Some registrars ask you to fax or mail in a form (downloadable from their site) which may or may not need to be notarised. We use a web-based form for transferring domains.

The next 'cab-off-the-rank' for OZsmeBusiness is the new Melbourne painting & decorating business called 'Plush Painters & Decorators'. 

They recently contracted us to build their 'portfolio' site to showcase their fine examples of domestic & commercial painting. The site can now be viewed at plush-ontime.com.

For those that are in the market to have some painting done around the house, the boys at 'Plush' pride themselves on their professionalism and quality (and their prices aren't too bad either).

To design a good business website, or for that matter, a good strategy, first start with the important stuff. Coffee!                

That's right, get yourself a cup of  coffee, sit down, and think about what you want a business web-site to do for you.

Do you need an information site, a product showcase, a site designed to attract leads, generate extra traffic for your retail store, or are you planning on selling your products or services online?

Written it down? Great! If not, ask us for a handy checklist, to help you organise your thoughts.

Now that you know what you want it for, compare your thoughts to your business goals. Do they match? Excellent.

Now's the perfect time to pickup the phone & contact us. We'll make a time to come to you and have a confidential obligation-free face-to-face chat (over a coffee, not a computer screen) about your needs, and how we can help your business grow & prosper.
