Web Design

"How much does it cost for a website?" and other Frequently Asked Questions about web design.

Most people don't want to pay for web sites which are unable to be found, so that they just sit in cyberspace being looked at by no-one. Yet surprisingly that's what many people get - almost definitely with webs at the lower end of the price scale and sometimes even with more highly priced web sites. Yet nzwebs.com web sites are very reasonably priced, so what are we doing differently?

We plan web sites to WORK by helping you decide on a purpose for your web site and looking closely at logical ways for the right people to easily find your site. This often includes keyword research by locating the most often searched for (related) keywords, analysing keywords and content of web sites which are already ranked highly in search engines and creating the copy in your web site around these keywords.  We also examine the role social marketing can play in your business (facebook, youtube, email campaigns, twitter, linkedin etc) as well as advertising options like google adwords.

We design web sites to WOW by always considering what the purpose of the web site is. Your web site will NOT be stranded in cyberspace on its lonesome, or be so fancy that no-one can figure out what to do there. Instead, we design your web site so that your clients can move around your web site effortlessly and be lead towards your desired outcomes. If this is the reason you want a website, you probably don't even need to read any further, so contact us now.

How we design Webs

Initially, you as our future client would contact us by email or telephone and we discuss your web idea and answer any questions you have - we want you to know there is no such thing as a stupid question and we don't expect you to already know about designing and hosting websites and buying domain names etc (otherwise, why would you be calling us?) Occasionally we can give a ball-park figure estimate about how much you could expect to pay, and usually we encourage you to email through a brief outline of your requirements.  We also discuss whether or not you feel social marketing (facebook, youtube, email campaigns, twitter, linkedin etc) and google adwords will benefit your business. We like it also when future clients like you can give us the website addresses of other web sites you like and what you like about them - that could be the layout, the graphics, the general look, or the information that it has.  So it's worth looking critically at your competitors and taking a bit of inspiration from here or there, and figuring out why some sites rub you up the wrong way.

If we both feel that nzwebs.com is the right company to give you what you want, we can give some more thought to your needs and what is best for YOU before we write a brief web plan and quote and create a visual idea of how the site will look and work.

(You can also have face to face one-on-one tuition too.) After you have accepted the quote, keeping the purpose of the web site and the desired outcomes in mind, we discuss any changes to the plan.
