Simple & affordable websites for your small business
Webpages.co.za is the solution to the online web presence that your business deserves.
Many new businesses perform badly due to lack of exposure of their products and services. With printed advertising becoming more and more expensive, many emerging companies find it difficult to use this medium as it affects their profit margin. The fact that printed advertisements will be discarded in a few days by the reader basically makes you feel that the money that you invested has also been discarded too. What if there was a solution to have an advertisement that always exists in a place that can never be destroyed in which every single person on earth can access?
This, is a place called the World Wide Web – known to many as the Internet.
Having a web presence is vital in this day and age. People no longer use directories and “yellow pages” to locate businesses or services. Everything is now done from your smartphones, tablets and computers using the Google search engine. Google is the fastest information seeking tool in the galaxy and if your know how manipulate it, your business can enjoy the benefits of “being listed” on Google. You have heard many people mention the phrase “Google it”. Imagine if someone decides to google your business and no details appear in the search results – this basically states that your business does not exist in the digital world.
The key to being part of this Digital World is to have a Webpage or Website. Only then can this digital journey begin and Webpagez.co.za can be your guide.
So how do I as a small business owner or private person obtain my own website from www.webpagez.co.za?
The steps are quite simple:
The first thing that needs to be done is to have a domain name registered on the World Wide Web. A domain name is the website address you wish to own ie.
- www.webpagez.co.za
- www.sagrensfastfoods.co.za
- www.jcattorneys.durban
- www.indiantreats.net
Most easy and popular domain names have already been registered by other entities since the internet started more than 20 years ago, therefore you will need to send us a few examples of names for your website which we can check for you. You can also do this on your own by clicking on the following link:
On this website you will need to enter the option you have thought of, and the appropriate extension ie. (.com ; .co.za ; .net ; .durban etc)
Domain registration can be done by yourself or by us at www.webpagez.co.za. The cost difference is quite negligible. Domain names expire after 12 months and you will be liable to renew the registration every year which usually escalates at 10 -15%. If you do not renew in time, the domain name goes back into a pool whereby other entities can then take over the name.
Now that you have a domain name, you will need a website/webpage created so that all the information you wish to share with the world can be contained on that specific site. This can be details of your business, products and services etc.
Website Vs. Webpage
These two terms are closely associated.
A website is a complex web presence that has multiple pages and functionality. This is good for businesses that have a lot to offer in terms of products, services and information.
A webpage is a single page website that has all the pertinent information on a single page. It is more suited for people who use smartphones and tablets to browse the internet as they will view the entire contents of the webpage by scrolling up and down instead of clicking on buttons and links which are usually found on a website.
www.webpagez.co.za can offer you either option at the same price.
In order to create a professional looking website or webpage, we will consult with your marketing / advertising team personally so that they can provide the necessary details such as:
- Content for the website / webpage
- Colour schemes to be used
- Logo’s , images and videos to be used
- Selecting of website template to be used
Once all required information has been provided, the website / webpage will be created and your team will be notified of the draft design. You will be allowed a single chance to provide the necessary changes / modifications that is needed prior to the website going live.
After your website has been published to the internet, Google will use its “Artificial Intelligence” to use the info from your website to appear on its search results. This can take a few days to a few months to occur. It all depends on the search engines method of scouring the internet.
The way to fast track this or “hack” google is to setup your google profile and create paid advertisements on google adwords or google my business. This ensures that your company’s website and listing appear on the first page of the google results when someone searches for businesses or services that you provide. Ask us for more info on this after your website has been published.
