Are you finding the whole idea of information design, web design, commonly-employed design practices,
development and getting your business online confusing
and just a little bit daunting?
|
| |
Here are the basics that need to be considered.
To get your business on the internet you will need a
website (domain), a website name (domain name) and a
domain host who provides web space for your domain.
Visitors will be able to use your website name to find
you on the internet.
You will probably also want to promote (internet
marketing) your business online to allow customers to
find you using search engines such as Google Yahoo or
MSN.
This could give you a competitive edge over your rivals.
Our websites are big on commonly-employed design practices and accessible content management.
Our idea is that clever technology can be easy
to use. Really easy. So easy that it empowers you and
your colleagues.
EPNET understand and help build effective strategies. We
work with you to Implement innovative and practical
business solutions. We set targets and measure results,
and we deliver the best website design, technology and
content authoring skills within our projects.
At EPNET we can integrate your online and offline
marketing, and develop programmes that increase your
website traffic. Our expertise includes creative brand
development and a fundamental understanding of business
processes. Some of our projects are brief campaigns,
some are large developments, and we have a reputation for
delivery. Three important considerations to an effective
web design project:
|
| |
Rapid response:
Have you been let down in the past? We often hear
stories of agencies that don't deliver. We take support
seriously and aim to resolve all queries in less than 24
hours. In most cases, we can action a request from you
in less than two hours.
Web hosting:
Nobody hangs around when a site is slow! That’s why
we’ve invested heavily in our own high-performance
servers at the DiData Data Centre in Bryanston, the backbone of the South African
internet. All our sites are consistently fast and
responsive. We also provide highly efficient reporting
that shows where your web site’s traffic comes from and
what keywords people are using to find your business.
Your design should reflect the quality of your company:
If your site looks like it's been thrown together by a
nephew who has a friend or talented aunt during a quiet afternoon,
visitors will not stick around to find out more. On the
other side of the coin, there have been many examples
where site designers have gone overboard on
demonstrating their artistic and technical talents -
whilst making a site that is almost impossible to
navigate and takes an age to download. |

| Example - Small Business website: |
 |
Aesthetic+Cosmetic offers beauty consultants
courses in South Africa. The beauty school
teaches beauty consultants, image consultancy
and reflexology and also provides cosmetics and
equipment.
Design Strategy:
The concept behind the design is to reflect to
the emerging black women in South Africa that a
career in cosmetology is available and offers
very promising rewards.
The website is a
re-design of an older version and incorporates
subtle Flash design elements and strong search engine optimisation techniques
specifically to get higher page rankings on
Google. |

EPNET South Africa different by design: |
| |
- We arm businesses of all types with the tools to
ensure their web presence reaches its maximum
potential, in a cost effective manner. We provide
the knowledge and understanding of web development
and search engines, which for many business owners
can be a minefield.
- We have a considerable knowledge of the web and
a wealth of business experience. We understand the
pressures that face businesses; particularly
established businesses with established methods of
working who are trying to adapt their practices to
embrace the web and reap the rewards that it will
bring.
- We relate easily to our customers requirements
and concerns.
- We avoid jargon, gimmicks and "showcasing" our
talents at the expense of our customers.
- We appreciate that internet is still relatively
new and something of a mystery to many, but the
considerations remain the same as every other
business decision you make.
