Our Client Services

It is nearly impossible to have the 'perfect' website. So my consultation will highlight the important aspects that should be addressed, while working with you to develop what is the right package for you.

Smaller, basic websites (no databases) : These are the easiest to get the highest conformity with, so in most instances, there is no reason why it can't perform to the best standards.

Larger, more interactive website : Unfortunately there are a lot of old scripts on the Internet that don't perform to todays standards. During my design career I have attempted to use many. Even with current updated scripts, there are imperfections in each one. Sometimes a script will have to be custom made, or the best of what's available be used, which can often prove very expensive. I'll provide you with my recommendations, and discuss the advantages & disadvantages.

Search Engine Optimisation campaigns take time, research and specialised skills. When properly implemented, your website traffic and Internet business benefits. I'll provide you with the search engine optimized website, which will ensure that you or your SEO contractor will start with the right product. Links are an important factor in getting good search engine placements, but good quality & good value links matter more. Don't be taken in by SEO contractors that want you to spend a fortune on links or use link submission programs. It can be a bit of a mine field out there, many SEO contractors I regard as inexperienced and misinformed, so do a little research before parting with any large amounts of money. A good place to start when learning the basic of the SEO game, is the Google Webmaster Central, Live Search Webmaster Center, or the Yahoo Site Explorer, website. It's always best to get the information from the source.

Give your business the opportunity to explore new territories. Online storefronts not only enhance your business presence, but they explore international markets, giving you the opportunity to expand beyond the here & now. I can provide you with customized shopping cart template to go with your chosen software. I'll also provide guidance in regards to the more appropriate ecommerce software to cater to your needs. With the many ecommerce sites and content managment systems, or any other script driven website, please be aware that you may not be in the position to change some things, without switching to another script.

A complete production, hosting and payment solution. You provide the products, and I'll help you establish a distribution point.

One way to have an interactive website is to include a message/discussion board on your site, where visitors can leave messages, read messages left by other visitors and interact with you and the other visitors. Discussion boards are an ideal addition for support services. If your support department is busy, it gives members of the forum the chance to provide answers to others. Coupled with a mailing list, blog or newsletter, it can provide the ideal customer support sytem, and clients will always appreciate that!

When you build a website, you have to have somewhere on the Internet to park it. There are many web hosts available on the web, and it can be quite intimidating when they are talking about how much space and bandwidth you will get. Unfortunately though, a lot of it is smoke and mirrors. Most websites use very little space and very little bandwidth, unless you have a very busy or large website.

Attitude e-media provides inhouse hosting for all clients if required. Even though a little more expensive than wholesale or other resellers of hosting, it can be more than worth it in the end. I'm upfront, I am a sole trader, however your website is managed by the person who designed it.... me, and my impeccable reputation of 10 years is on the line. If you have a problem with your website, it is easy for me to access it, without having to chase clients up for usernames and passwords. You can't discuss statistics with other web hosts, but you can discuss them with me, because my prime concern is that your website succeeds. If your website goes down you will always have someone to contact, whether it is on a forum, mailing list, server status page, mobile phone and via the office during office hours. I don't leave you stranded! So doesn't it make sense to put your website totally in the hands of someone who cares?
