The next level of web experience is already expected. There isn’t enough patience in the world to wait for a site to load. In fact, 50% of web users expect a site to load in 2 seconds or less, according to surveys done by Gomez.com and Akamai. So if your site takes 3 seconds to load, chances are you will have higher bounce rate and lower conversion. At least 79% of them won’t come back and 44% of them will advise their friends not to visit the site. This is why speed matters and on top of that, it determines search engine rankings.

Work Health and Safety is important, so many businesses need a safety management plan.

Our client Occupational Safety Solutions asked our team to put together some content in the form of blogs. As well as a PDF for his website in order to add value for his website visitors.

We engaged our best content writer Kevin Sargeant to create the content in partnership with the Director of Occupational Safety Solutions, Andrew Watters.

With the email industry being spammed more and more by the day we are seeing the big mail providers create new and improved rules for emailing. As a result of these rules we are finding that some technologies which have been used or years are no longer trustworthy for use.

One such technology is the ‘Website Form’.

In days past we would set a form up to email you with the form submission and make it look like it was coming from the person who submitted the form! Now, with the mass migration to the Cloud (Usually Google GSuite or Office365) we are seeing these emails bounce due to the email server checking where they have come from and finding incorrect information.

Ok, I will dispense with the techno-babble.

In short you need a new way of doing lead capture from your website. I have been researching this for the past few months and trialing various systems and I have found one that works well. As a result I am paying for it and have decided to promote it too.

Its called AgileCRM (Customer Relationship Manager), you can register your free account here.

Not only does it capture the lead into its own system direct from your website but it also emails a confirmation direct to your chosen email address!

Below I have listed just a few of the tools I believe that every business owner with a website should have in their kit. I will explain why on each one. 

Web Design Sutherland Shire is a much sort after Google ranking!

At Sites By Design we operated our offices out of Miranda in the Sutherland shire, 30 minutes south of Sydney for over 6 years. We have been dominating Google Search for ‘Web Design Sutherland Shire’ for years.

At the time we had an office located on Port Hacking Rd Miranda in an industrial complex which I Would say is one of the best in the sutherland shire.

As the business grew we had the need to ensure we had a permanent supply of clients. And although we did have some great referral business coming in there still needed to be a more constant flow of sales leads.

If you want to build an effective website, then there’s a lot of research that needs to go into the process. Not doing the proper research can cause you to run into all kinds of problems when your site goes live, so make sure that you do the following research ahead of time:

Launching your website without planning it out beforehand is a really bad idea. You should never be pressured into building and launching a site before you’re ready to do so because it can end up having a hugely negative effect.

Not only will your site most likely fail to achieve whatever goals you may have had, but a failed website can end up tarnishing your brand’s reputation. So how exactly do you plan your website properly in order to give it a better chance at succeeding?

Hi there, I am here to give you a human version of what this whole SEO thing is about. How does it work? Why would you do it? At the bottom of this article is a simple model created in human terms to illustrate the benefits! 

There are two types of SEO that we need to cover here, Onsite SEO and Offsite SEO. But first, before we dive into that, let’s get a bit of history on Google as the most powerful search engine in the world today.

If your website is high quality your hosting can’t be. Just like tyres on a car, your contact point with the world needs to be reliable when called upon. A server also needs to be fast, supported and (preferably) local.

This is why we host your website on a premium quality hosting server.

Does the Difference in Quality Really Matter?

You can get cheaper hosting elsewhere, however the performance difference is usually significant and as the Goodyear Tyre company used to say, “If your tyres save you once a year it’s been a Goodyear!”

Looking for a cheap website?

I see it all of time! Business owners or start ups spend a fortune on their set up, products, packaging and signage – yet they save one of the most important things until last – their website!

And by the time they get to their website they have a serious problem – they have very little money budgeted toward the project.
