Custom Website Design

You may have several problems with your current website design. Perhaps your website isn't user-friendly, doesn't align with your brand, or isn't generating the results you want. These issues can cause frustration and prevent your business from reaching its full online potential and can all be a result of NOT having a Custom Website Design.

The average template web designs are limited and may not fit your business. This can cause your customers to get lost looking for your products or services or just give up because the site does not make sense. Your site may even look like one of your competitors because you both have the same template, selected by your web designers.

Our approach is to create a Custom Website Design for every client. We make sure we understand your customer needs, behaviours & responses, to build a website that not only looks great but fits your business perfectly. Why waste time building a website that just doesn't work?

Should you use a Free Blog like wordpress.org or blogger.com?

Why should you pay money to run a blog when you can go to somewhere like wordpress.org or blogger.com? Surely it makes more sense in these economically troubling times to cut any costs that can be cut while still getting the benefits of it.

All of these offer something for free, wordpress/blogger make it easy for you to write blogs, google gives you free searches, and facebook is a social networking gateway. But they are all businesses, and businesses have expenses and need income. The products offered by google, facebook, wordpress and blogger is YOU. Your blog, your search, your person. You use them to give yourself convenience, and the price of that convenience is that they market you to their advertisers.
