Affordable Website Design: Quality Web Design That Won’t Break the Bank

Frequently Asked Questions

The short answer is yes. We can include a slider as part of your business web design. But we don’t recommend it. Sliders make your website slow to load – which annoys both visitors and Google. Plus, they don’t help convert your website visitors into customers – and that is what a business website is all about. Still, if you want one, we can add one for you.

Simply contact us. We then schedule a 15-minute video chat to answer questions and discuss your business website design needs. Then, we give you a price and you decide whether to proceed.

For the fastest web design timeframe possible, you need to register your domain and organise your hosting. Although, we can help you do this.

You also need to provide all the content for your business website. Content includes words, images etc. We can help you access stock photos for $10 per image. If you do not want to write the content yourself, we can connect you with a great copywriter who can do it for you.

A website domain name is a user-friendly address for your business website. It’s like the street number you have for your home.

For example, the domain name for our website is websmall.net. Most domain names for Australian business websites end in .com.au – although this is not always available. Plus, you must have an ABN or Australian Business Number to register a domain name ending in com.au!

You can normally register a domain name for less than $20 per year.

If a domain name is like the street number of your home, hosting is your home itself.

All the code, words and images on your small business website need to live on a special computer called a hosting server. You rent space for your website on one of these servers from a hosting company. The online internet is really just a set of interconnected web servers.

For individuals and small businesses, you can generally access suitable website hosting for $20 per month (or less).

It depends upon the hosting company you choose. Many hosting companies include email hosting in their monthly website hosting charge. Our recommended hosting provider – VentraIP certainly does.

If your hosting company includes email hosting in its charge, we can set up an email account for you. You can access this email through online webmail or you also can set it up in your email client (e.g. Outlook) on your computer.

Ranking a website on Google for most search terms takes a lot of hard work. This work is known as Search Engine Optimisation or SEO for short. And, even then. there are no guarantees.

If your business is called A1 Acupuncture Armidale, you will probably rank for a1 acupuncture armidale. But ranking for acupuncture or even acupuncture armidale is much harder. And, it depends upon the competition.

We offer SEO services as a separate service. But ranking your website for competitive terms is not included in your website design. Don’t be misled by words others may use terms such as SEO Friendly. That doesn’t mean you will rank for competitive terms.

The short answer is through digital advertising and digital marketing.

They are very close to being the same thing. But digital advertising only refers to paid strategies – e.g., Pay Per Click Google Seach Ads or Paid Facebook Ads.

Digital marketing is a broader term, that includes paid digital advertising but also free strategies such as posting offers on Facebook.

In one sense, they are the same. Both are focused on low-cost web design.

But cheap often means cheap and nasty. The nastiness may be in the service you receive, the quality of the coding, poor web design or clunky websites. If you Google cheap websites, this is often what you will get.

When we say affordable web design we mean quality at a very reasonable price.

We can build you an online store, which is also called an e-commerce website. But not within our affordable website packages. But please get in touch to discuss your needs and we will give you our best price.
