Why do I need a web site?
The World Wide Web offers the unique opportunity for businesses
to present themselves and their products or services 24 hours
a day 7 days a week.
Your business can spend a small fortune on the
production of business cards, ads and brochures that are inevitably
discarded. For a fraction of the cost, your web site is always
available and has the potential to be access by over six million
people within Australia.
Online surveys have concluded that seeking information
is one of the main reasons consumers access the Internet. Customers
will look to your web site as a communications and sales channel,
enabling them to access your business at their leisure - to contact
you, gather information about your products and services, or place
an order.
S3 Productions will work with you to determine
your needs and design a site that meets your specifications.
What is a Domain Name
and do I need one?
A domain name forms part of your address on the internet. For
example http://www.yourbusinessname.com.au is the online address
with yourbusinessname.com.au being the domain name.
Having a domain name makes it easier for customers
to remember and find your web site. It also promotes a professional
look for your business as your email will also reflect the domain
name.
S3 Productions can register your choice of domain
name and organise a webhosting package for you.
Do I need a business name
to have a web site?
You don't need a registered business name to register a .com or
a .net - the domain name just needs to be available.
To register a .com.au, .net.au or .org.au domain
name you do need to have a registered business name.
S3 Productions can search which domain names are
available and do the registration for you.
How much will a web site
cost?
The cost of developing a web site can vary according to its size
and complexity. To avoid overspending it's important that you
establish what is required from your web site at the beginning.
From this, features to be included can be costed and a budget
developed.
S3 Productions' experience can assist you during
this planning stage. By determining what is appropriate for your
web site, a budget that suits you can be achieved.
How will people find my
web site?
The best way for people to find your web site is to make sure
it's registered with the major search engines. In order to get
a better rating your web site also needs to be optimised.
It's also important to choose a domain name that
represents your business. This allows visitors to intuitively
type in your web site address without using a search engine.
S3 Productions can optimise and submit your site
to increase the potential of customers finding your business when
carrying out a search.
