Easily Update Your Content
Now you can manage your website quickly and easily WITHOUT having to be a computer wizz!
Sick of tired of getting slugged with expensive web developer fees everytime you want to change some text or add a picture on your website? And don't forget how long you have to wait before they actually do something.
What about if you have a deadline for a new promotion and your web developer is "out of the office" or "sick"?
Unfortunately this is an all too-common situation and most of our customers had these very problems when we first met them. That's one of the reasons they came to us in the first place.
One of our philosophies is that the client's website should always be able to be controlled and managed easily BY the client. It's good for the clients because it saves them money on expensive web developers not too mention the added convenience of not having to wait for anyone to do it or get back to you (you can change your website content in minutes from any internet connection in the world). It's also good for us because updated content is one of the hallmarks of successful websites. The better the results from the client's website the more they buy off us in future and the more referrals we get.
Did you know that many popular and credible studies show that one of the biggest complaints from website visitors is "lack of updated content". Just do some Google searches on the topic and form your own opinions.
Just some of the many benefits to having a cutting-edge, "web-based", website content management solution in place:
It reduces your costs: most web developers charge like wounded bulls even if it's simply to update some text, or add a photo and that's fair enough. Good web developers are very high skill people and modern web design is not easy - so they should charge accordingly for their time. Having a content management solution in place enables you to avoid this costly scenario
It's getting easier to do: recent advances in software and technology systems are finally making website control by "non-techie" people easier and easier. Also most good content management systems these days are web based. This means you don't need any software installed on your computer just a reliable internet connection - which, let's face it, everyone has these days. So you can stop at a coffee shop, fire up your laptop, and simply by entering your username and password you can update your website in minutes (in fact that's how this very section of our website is getting written right now ;-))
It's the future: if you think for a moment you can "get away" with getting a basic website in place and never touching your content again, then kiss a good repcentage of future sales opportunities and customers good bye. Read the information above in the blue box with the black dotted line again. This is not some fancy statistic or quote that we use to boost up our sales presentation - it's fact. You need to swallow the pill and accept that you simply must have a content updating plan in place and just get on with it. Otherwise when searching for your product or service on the web customers will simply find a competitor who has up to date content on their website.
Introducing One of the Best Website Content Manage Systems (CMS) in the World BAR NONE: Expression Engine...
Might seem like a big claim but over 55,000 (and growing) commercial web developers can't be wrong. We've tested many of these things and Expression Engine is the weapon of choice for professional web developers the world over in a dizzying array of modern CMS. There are 2 important reasons we've chosen Expression Engine as our primary CMS:
Clients find it easy to use: from our standpoint this is huge. In the past we've shared the frustrations of our clients trying to use antiquated, clunky old website updating systems and most of them just gave up in sheer frustration. If you've experienced this before then you'll know what we mean. Ever tried some basic formatting? You can literally tear your hair out trying to use these things. The problem usually stemmed from the fact that most CMS were designed by techies who hadn't taken the time to research the "usability" side of things from a client's perspective. If it's not easy to use, you ain't gonna use it. This virtually guarantees poor results from your website.
It's easy for us to make future enhancements to keep your website progressing: this is also huge. It not only saves you money down the track, but also allows us to keep your website on the cutting edge. Unless you've been living under a rock you may have noticed the constant innovations coming from Google. This is important as the web is ever changing and evolving and if you can't keep up, your website will be "dead on the vine" inside 2 years. If we had a dollar for everyone we've spoken to who paid thousands for a website only to have scrap it 2 years later we'd be able to retire early!
We can customise the solution to cater PRECISELY to your content updating needs: it doesn't matter what kind of content needs you have we can tailor the solution to make adding content to your website a breeze. Like to add a photo gallery to your website? No problem - we can even set the system to auto-resize the images for you. Want to publish articles "blog-style"? Again this system handles it easily. Remember: you don't have to be a computer wizz to be able to add content to your website. This system can be configured to match your skill level, whether beginner or advanced.
It's easy to support: it's no use having a great system if you can't get support for it. No matter how good a website company is they won't always have the answers to problems when they invariably crop up and we're no different. The Expression Engine community is massive and we can always get professional support in a heartbeat. This all adds up to a website solution that will evolve and grow with you whatever you do with your business in future.
It's transportable: ideally we like to host your website for obvious reasons. We do however, understand that there are times when clients don't like to be "locked in". To our knowlegde, we're one of the only ones in the industry to have no contracts, which means you're not tied down to anyone or anything. Expression Engine is a highly transportable solution that runs on most web server environments without any special needs at all.
To find out more about what this solution can do for you and your business why not ask for a onsite demonstration? It's all pretty laid back without the hard sell and you're under no obligation to buy anything. All we ask in return is you have an open mind and be serious about improving your website's performance. We enjoy working with people who are open to improvement.
