Ready for a New Website?

Not happy with your website? Or been telling yourself it is about time you got one?

See, we’ve been working in the Perth Web Industry for seven years and we’re sick and tired of meeting people who are unhappy with their websites. All too commonly we find people who don’t feel like they have control over their website. They feel like the website is a mysterious black box that they pour money into with no measurable results. They feel like they’ve paid for something and received something else and the number ONE complaint is that most people don’t feel confident in updating their website.

We realise that, as your website company, our responsibility does not stop when we receive payment for our work. We believe that we have a duty to not only deliver you an awesome website, but that we also need to train you so that you are confident in updating and maintaining your website. Through working with many, many clients we have come to realise that most small business websites are serving similar needs. And because many small business websites are fulfilling similar needs we have created an all-in-one solution for getting your website up and running as quickly as possible!

You may already know this but a website has lots of moving parts. When you decide to have a SpinnaWeb website this is what we include as standard:

• Domain name of your choice (.com or .com.au)
• Fast Australian-based website hosting
• Up to five, one-hour telephone consultations
• Professional website design to reflect your image (Including your logo/colours)
• Content Management System (So you can update your website without spending a cent)
• Loading of your content onto your website of up to five (5) pages
• Detailed website statistics showing what pages of your website are popular and how many visits you are receiving on a day by day basis

So sure, this may sound like a lot of things, but what does it all mean? The above list is literally everything you need to put yourself on the Internet! Everything!

If you were to ask us to do each of these services separately it would cost you in the vicinity of $4,000~. But, in the same way that buying a laptop is cheaper than buying the parts of a laptop individually, we offer a pretty sizable discount if you’re ready to go ahead with it all at the same time. So, if you are ready to go ahead with it all at the same time we’re offering all of the above for only…

$2470 (inc GST)
(Rather than the $4,000~ price tag that this is all worth)

But what if I already have a domain you may ask? Well we’ll knock $100 off that price if you bring your own domain name and give you everything for $2370 (inc GST).

Although you do not currently have a SpinnaWeb website, frankly, I would like you to. So rather than stopping there I would like to go above and beyond what we’re already offered, without changing the price - I hope that is okay!

Beginning in September SpinnaWeb is running a monthly training session on how to get the most out of the Content Management System that all of our websites run with. This training session normally lasts 4~5 hours on an afternoon. You will be face to face with Lloyd Johnson, the owner of SpinnaWeb. He will walk you through exactly how to use your website, how to change the content and even how to add media such as YouTube movies to your website! But, best of all, you will be able to ask him whatever questions would like in that time and get first hand tips for ranking highly on Google, marketing your website in innovative ways and proven methods for making your website deliver the greatest return in your business.

But what we know is that people are busy, and sometimes hearing something more than once can be useful. So as part of this package we are offering you the opportunity to attend as many of these training sessions as you would like in the 3 months following your signup. This means you could attend THREE sessions if you wanted, or just the one that suited you best. And at the end of it all? You have the knowledge and tools to make the most of your shiny new website!

So STOP and start thinking about it… what would it be like to have a shiny new website? What would that mean to your customers, your staff and… perhaps more importantly, what would it mean to you? Because we know the difference a good website makes in an Australian business. And we’re committed to delivering you a website that is going to work for you.

Having read this far I hope that you have a really good idea of what you could expect. But what if I could show you a handful of recent websites we’ve done for people just like you? These three websites have all been done for Perth based ventures, created on our Content Management System, and are available for you to visit and see our work in action!

Did You Know 2.0

Upcoming Swan TAFE Courses being taught by SpinnaWeb

SpinnaWeb is really excited to be working with Swan TAFE to be presenting several upcoming courses. These courses are designed to provide you with a better understanding of how to brand yourself and your business online. The courses on offer are:

Online Personal Branding
Have you heard people mention social networking sites like LinkedIn and Facebook but you don’t quite know what all the fuss is about? Does the prospect of using social networking seem daunting or do you even wonder why people bother with it? Social Media is growing extremely quickly and is increasingly important in branding yourself online. This course covers everything you need to know to get yourself up and running on both LinkedIn and Facebook along with a greater understanding that you can apply to other social networking sites such as Twitter, MySpace and Bebo. The hands on sessions ensure you don’t just understand the technology but that by the end of the course you are fully up and running with each of these tools! This course would ideally suit anyone that is making changes in their career or business. This includes everyone from small business owners looking to promote their business to employees going for a promotion to busy executives looking for an easier way to stay in touch with their contacts.

Getting Your Business on the Web
Do you know that you need a website, but don’t know where to start? Have you tried to build a website and do you keep getting stuck? It is now expected that businesses, from the smallest cafes through to the largest multinationals, will have a website. But what makes a good website and how can you cost effectively create one for your business? This course covers everything from registering a domain name through to marketing your new website. More importantly, it considers your website in the context of your business and as a result your completed website will immediately be meeting your real business needs. While much of the course focuses around ‘do it yourself’ tips this course is best undertaken by a small business owner or project manager that is likely to be working with a web developer/web designer in the creation of their website.

Email and SMS Marketing
What are you doing to stay in contact with your customers? Are you interested in increasing their loyalty to your products and services? Email & SMS Marketing are both extremely cost effective ways to stay in touch with your customers. Done poorly you can easily upset your customers and lose sales, while done well you can increase customer loyalty, increasing the frequency a customer does business with you and deliver a better quality service. This course covers the do’s and dont’s of Email & SMS Marketing. At the end of this course you will not only have a strong understanding of how to successfully implement this technology in your business, you will also have the basis of an automated
email marketing campaign!

Is your website helping your competitors?

This is a great article written by MyBRC (Business Resource Centre) last month that does a really nice job of expressing the importance of making your website work for your customers.

Visitors to your website don’t give a damn if your website is slow, boring, out of date and hard to use. They’ll simply click off and go away. Most likely to a competitor. Sadly, that’s how they will perceive your business, too – slow, boring, out of date and hard to deal with. No wonder your competitors love you and want you to keep it up.

The only time a visitor cares about the technology you use to build your website is when it gets in the way of their ability to access the information they’re after. At which point they’ll simply click off and go away. Most likely to a competitor. No wonder your competitors love you.

…

It’s really annoying when you go to a website that holds out the promise of offering what you’re looking for, only to tell you that you must have the latest version of some viewing technology to access the information. That’s a bit like trying to go into a store only to be told by some security guard that only Mercedes drivers can enter.

The only person who cares about a splash page that proudly displays your logo in glorious 3-D animation with that “click here to enter” option, is your web developer. That’s why it’s called an “ego page”. Visitors will simply click off and go away. Most likely to a competitor. No wonder your competitors love your website developer.

Visitors to your website don’t care if the information they’re looking for isn’t there. They’ll simply click off and go away. Most likely to a competitor. No wonder your competitors love your website and want you to keep it up.

So, what does this all mean? Simply, that your website is all about your customers and meeting their needs and expectations. The technology used is largely irrelevant, and the design only becomes important after your customers’ needs, their behaviour, your business objectives and your marketing strategies are fully understood.
