Marketing with Email
Email marketing has been abused a lot in the past – but it is still an excellent method of getting your name out there.
Design Conscious will add this important marketing facility to any site we design for you and you then have two choices:
Website and marketing advice
We all get the concept of the internet. We all understand that more and more business is going to be directed through it. We know that if we don’t have the bits in place to use it effectively we are going to miss out.
But what are the bits you need to have in place?
Promote your Site
“If you build it… they will come!”
Hmmmmm, good film: Kevin Costner, big field, ghost baseball players one of Hollywoods better turn outs. But the internet is not Hollywood. If you build a website, there is no guarantee that anyone will come to it – even if it’s indexed by the search engines.
Why?
Designing a website
‘Design is never ending…’ and that’s true, but where do you stop? Do you stop when you like the look of the images and layout, that must mean there isn’t any more development to do, right?
Wrong, just because you like it doesn’t mean to say somebody else will, and it certainly doesn’t mean that it will turn your market on. The best way to find out is to create something then show it to someone and gauge their reaction. If they don’t like it you change it and present it again. This is what you should do with your website, get a few pages up there, gets some feed back and then improve and expand.
Web Hosting
Website hosting is often miss understood and mistaken to be the same thing as a domain registration
Hosting is another vital part of your website, if you liken your domain name to your telephone number, your hosting can be thought of as your office. When someone rings your number (types your web address) they get through to your office. Hosting is where your website files reside, they sit on the hard disk of a hosting computer that is permanently connected to the internet.
