			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Want to buy your website &#8216;off the peg&#8217;<strong>?<br />
</strong></h1>
<h3><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-775" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 0px 20px;" title="Coat Hanger" src="http://www.designconscious.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/coat_hanger-300x212.jpg" alt="Coat Hanger" width="240" height="170" />Why should buying a website be any different to buying a suit? Yes, a website needs to be designed to fit your business, just like a tailored suit is made to fit you, but it&#8217;s just as easy buy a suit that fits right &#8216;off the peg&#8217;.</h3>
<p>Why not buy a website &#8216;off the peg&#8217;? It&#8217;s actually something that a lot of website design companies offer. You pay a set price and buy a templated website and away you go. There is a demand for this and we are pleased to say we are happy to now offer that facility. Just opt for the Crunch Zero package below and you get domain, hosting and a choice of 10 preselected themes from developers around the internet. The Zero package is there for people who know what they are doing and need Zero input from us after it&#8217;s all set up.</p>
<h2>Website development</h2>
<p>Buying off the peg isn&#8217;t for everybody which is why we have developed five other packages that allow you to buy at a level suited to you. All of our packages included a .co.uk domain, hosting and installation of the WordPress blogging engine, after that each package has other features built in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-282" title="mot-thumb" src="http://www.designconscious.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/mot-thumb1.jpg" alt="mot-thumb" width="175" height="120" /></p>
<p><strong>Having a website is one thing but if it&#8217;s not working for you in the search engines it&#8217;s pretty pointless. It&#8217;s like having a van and not painting your logo on the side, or a mobile and not having it switched on. Every piece of equipment you have need to pay for itself and generate income or interest.</strong></p>
<p>This is why your website has to give you a return on your investment. It has to be search engine friendly and it has to rank well for your keywords. Just looking pretty isn&#8217;t going to cut it, the fact is if no one can find it, no one will use it and you will have wasted your money.</p>
<h2>Website MOT</h2>
<p>Just like a car your site can have its online health checked and a report generated telling you where it&#8217;s failing and what to do about it. For as little as £25 we can help you start to turn your website around and begin to get a return on your investment. We might suggest that only a few adjustments are needed or we might suggest that a new site written with the latest web standards is what&#8217;s required, but either way you have a starting point that you can work from at your own pace and at your own budget. We realise that money is tight at the moment and a website overhaul might not be the first thing you want to spend your money on, this is why we are offering the MOT as a base point, a cost effective report that shows you how to improve and turn the corner on all the doom and gloom.</p>
<p><strong>For further information contact Ian Blackford direct on 0845 370 3459 for a no obligation chat.</strong></p>
<h2>Order your PDF report now and turn your site around</h2>
<p>Only <strong>£25.00</strong> for your Website MOT Report emailed to you in PDF format</p>

<p><strong>Get The Report FREE:</strong> The report will highlight items that need to be tweaked or changed in your web pages, if you ask us to do those changes for you we will quote you a firm offer LESS the price of the report. This way you get to find out what needs changing on your site for free, then you get it changed for a figure that won&#8217;t break the bank!</p>

<p>8 WAYS TO DRIVE TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE &#8211; PART 2 (tips 5-8)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designconsciousmarketing.com/count/click.php?id=16">(continued fram part 1)</a></p>
<p>5. Build a sitemap</p>
<p>How?<br />
Google has a facility for you to add your websites sitemap to a<br />
Google account. There are scripts you can install on your site to<br />
automatically create a Google valid sitemap &#8211; so it&#8217;s easy to tell<br />
Google and the other search engine spiders exactly where your pages are.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>6. Make words in your links meaningful</p>
<p>How?<br />
If you make &#8216;Blue Widgets&#8217; and the link to the widgets page says<br />
&#8216;Click here for our products&#8217; then the search engine has no keywords in<br />
the link to match up with the product page. Change the words in your<br />
links to something like &#8216;The Blue Widget range&#8217; &#8211; then the link and the<br />
product page have keywords in common (Blue and Widget) thus increasing<br />
your keyword relevancy.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>7. Look at your webstats and track your links</p>
<p>How?<br />
Ask your web developer to show you the stats for your site and see where<br />
your traffic is coming from. If your traffic is mainly referals from other<br />
sites think about increasing your visability on those pages. Look at the<br />
top 10 keywords that are being used to find your site and improve their<br />
denisty and relevancy in your website (Don&#8217;t over do it &#8211; Google will<br />
delist you for keyword stuffing if you repeat your words unnecessarily).<br />
If you advertise in a newspaper or magazine add a tracking code to the<br />
URL in the advert and then see how much traffic is generated. Doing this<br />
will help you identify which advertising is really working for you -<br />
allowing you to drop any area of advertising that isnt performing and to<br />
increase the advertising that is.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>8. Google Adwords</p>
<p>How?<br />
Google adwords is a briliant way of driving highly targeted traffic<br />
to your site. It&#8217;s targeted because you bid on a keyword relating to<br />
your business &#8211; say &#8216;Blue Widgets&#8217; and your link is only shown when<br />
someone searches and matches your keyword. When they click you get<br />
charged and they are sent to your site. It&#8217;s a good way of getting<br />
traffic but it can be a costly excercise if you don&#8217;t manage your<br />
account, before you do this make sure your site is good enough to<br />
convert any possible new leads to sales.</p>
<p>You now have eight of the best tips around for improving your online<br />
presence. If you wish to implement any of these cost effective tips<br />
call me for a quick quote or health check report on 0845 370 3459.</p>
<p>Make 2009 eventful not regretful!</p>
<p>Looking forward to speaking to you soon.</p>
