We build web sites for
small business owners as a part-time activity, utilising IT knowledge which has
been gained over very many years in the computer business. We believe
that the key features of a successful web site are clarity,
quality of information, and speed of access.
The average person
searching for information on the Internet probably hasn't much patience as
there is so much information available, and if there are long delays
then they will just go on to the next site. Whilst it is a great idea to
have an attention grabbing site, for optimum performance it is best to
avoid large or high resolution photographs, or excessive use of
graphics.
Our experience is that
people independently searching the Internet are now becoming a
significant source of income for small business owners, so we pay
particular attention to gaining high rankings on the various search
engines.
One
area on which we focus is holiday villa web sites where potential clients may have identified your villa
as a possibility through specialist magazines like "Private
Villas", and now want more details on locality, availability,
prices, and photographs. Access to this sort of information on a well
designed web site gives them confidence that there will be no unpleasant
surprises when they go on their holiday - a factor which is particularly
important for the first time visitor. Another benefit of
providing this level of detail is that you will get less non-productive
phone calls or general enquiries, like "is it available in
July" or "do you have a pool", as this should all be
covered on the website - it certainly is on those that we build.
If you would like to see
an example of a larger website built by us at EliteWebs, please
visit Villa Rosa. This
website has attracted between 300 and 400 different visitors every
month for the last two years, and whilst we do not consider "hits" to be
particularly significant, there have been 6,000 to 8,000 of these every
month during the same period.
