Web Design Concerns

Do you understand what’s involved in putting your business on the web? Here are some of the frequently asked questions about web design and development.

Q: What are the steps of building a website?

A: The steps for building a website are:

1. Register a Domain Name. Nowadays, it is pretty hard to get a domain name that is both short and can be easily remembered. It’s a wild guess that all the words including the letters and abbreviations in the dictionary are already taken. Perhaps you can take your chance at the hard words to spell and the phonetic transcriptions In short wishing for your company’s exact acronym or name to be available is like hoping against hope. Finding it available is like winning the jackpot in the lottery (which, if we may add…rarely happens:) We recommend choosing a domain name that reflects your company’s products, services, industry or search keywords. Even if it is quite long, no worries because those keywords in your domain name can be tracked by search engine crawlers. Hence, you increase your page rank. For example, whiteningcapsules.com is not really the company’s name but they opted to use this domain name because it represents what their products are and acts as keywords as well. So, as early as possible, register whatever available domain name that you can find and move on.

2. Determine your site’s goals. Do you want to sell online? Promote your company or organization? Test new products and services? Who is your target market?

3. Organize your content. What will be the pages on your website and what should be displayed on each of them?

4. As soon as you submit your materials to your web designer, then he can already start making a web design draft. Once the draft is approved, the web designer can proceed to building the website and writing the HTML codes.

5. Publish the website. When every element is in place, it’s time to elect your web host so that your site can be viewed on the World Wide Web.

Q: How long does it take to build a website?

A: It depends on the availability of the client’s materials that will be used.

Some clients can supply everything that their web designer needs right away and some take their sweet time. Oftentimes, a client may like a draft but they want certain revisions. This is the time-consuming part. Making changes, showing it to the client, waiting for their response and back again to making changes may seem endless but as web designers we just need to figure out what the client wants. Once we hit the bull’s eye, that’s one less worry for us. Given ideal conditions – materials are available and the draft finally approved – we can say that a site can be finished within a week…two weeks tops!

Q: How do you determine pricing?

A: Two factors are involved in determining the pricing of our web design projects:

1. Content – such as number of pages, functionalities, Flash animations, pictures, and other requested website add-ons to our existing web design packages. Simply put, the more bells and whistles, the more the site costs. Consult your web designer first so that you won’t be overwhelmed with the additional fees later on.

2. Amount of work - we would have to consider the complexity of your specifications. Some tasks that would require higher fees are e-commerce website development, online payment gateway integration, forum and blog integration, and database management. In other words, web design work that will require more sleepless nights and possible aneurysm would definitely cost you a little bit more:)

Do you know the #1 reason why consumers purchase online?

Do you know

the #1 reason

why consumers

purchase online?

The local e-commerce industry in the Philippines has grown rapidly in recent years and provides huge potential with at least 10 million prospective clients that still remain untapped. A few small-to-large businesses now operate their own websites or use the Internet to promote and sell their goods and services. And they are already a hundred miles ahead of you because they had the foresight to explore the use of double exposure — one, their physical store and the other, their web presence. Once you realize the benefits of running a website, it will surely open up the whole world to you!

The fact is, the Internet grants all types of enterprises with the capability to grow within and across borders to a seemingly unimaginable extent. No matter what size your business is, e-commerce will provide you with a level ground where you can compete with major industry players. So don’t ever think that a website is just another way for you to shell out cash. On the other hand, it is actually less expensive than maintaining a physical store and cheaper than most forms of advertising. Essentially, selling on the web makes for high profits due to low overhead. Before you make your first profits from sales in your brick-and-mortar store, you have to pay rent, utilities, salaries, and more. With an online store you just pay for the web development, hosting and that’s just about it! Think of it as an investment that allows you to reinforce your business image, to target your market, to improve customer relations and most important of all, to make it easier for potential clients to find you! Yes, consumers expect that you would have a website by now! If you don’t – they wouldn’t waste a minute searching for your store or looking for your number in the Yellow Pages. They would surf the net and look for a company who is accessible to them — one that is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! Simply put, you are losing a lot because…

The number one reason cited by consumers for making a purchase online is that of convenience. Now, that is something you need to think about! For indeed, shopping on the internet can save time. In traditional commerce, a consumer would go to stores to look for a particular item he is interested in buying. But with the Internet, this whole process can be done in a matter of minutes! With various websites to choose from, consumers are not anymore limited to the physical stores that are near their homes or offices. They can even shop from stores in different countries! Imagine the possibilities for merchants like you! If websites have not yet become the industry standard in your business or area, be the first to begin. When everyone else understands they need it too, you’ll remain the leader, you were the first. So if you are not yet online now, allow us to help you establish your presence over the internet and…
