Website Design Nelson, NZ using Joomla CMS

Your web design is vital to your business

Platforms that we use:

Your website is a reflection of who you are and what you do and a well designed website can help boost your business. We design websites that have

• stylish website design
• functionality (easy to use)
• your unique branding or "look"
• using an open source (free) system called Joomla!
• websites are easily updated by you (or us)
• carbon neutral web hosting

A website is much like a home, in order for it to function it has to be structurally sound from the ground up. We bring our diverse web design skills together to design web pages with a solid foundation.

We work with you to create a website you feel comfortable with and that is suited to your particular needs. We have designed websites for artists, musicians, the tourism industry, health professionals and teaching institutions. Our Nelson web design team is happy to work with clients throughout New Zealand and the around world.

Why have a website?

There are many benefits for having a website. The internet is the fastest growing tool for modern businesses. Research shows that more and more people are using the internet to find products and services, both locally and world-wide. The main benefits of having a website are

• Your business is available 24/7 (even when you are out of the office)
• Goods can be purchased & paid for online (automated orders & payment)
• Access a world-wide audience for your product/service (increased market)
• Contact large groups of people at little or no cost (advertising)
• See who is visiting your website (website statistics - market research).

How do we build new websites?

Our websites are designed using a system called Joomla. This is a powerful, open source (free software) system that lets you manage your website from anywhere via the internet. If you are familiar with email and using the internet then you will have the skills required to maintain your own website without the help (and expense) of a web designer. However, should you need us we will still be there. Our site designs are search engine optimised. We can advise you on the keywords and content requirements to increase search engine rankings and can review this periodically.

Why use Joomla! Content Management System (CMS)

Joomla has a large range of 'plug ins' (extra bits) that can extend your website functionality - calendars, image galleries, blogging tools. Joomla is suitable for all sorts of websites from small personal blogs to large corporate websites.

• easy to use
• edit and change your own website
• edit from anywhere with any web browser
• extendable functionality
• multiple users if required

If you are wanting to update your existing website talk to us about transfering it to an easily managed Joomla! CMS system.

Web hosting, Domain name registration, Email services

We can provide all your web hosting needs, email services and domain name registration.

Vital statistics - who is visiting your website?

It is vital to know how you are being found, what keywords are important and which pages people are visiting on your website. We will set up a powerful web statistics package so you know who is visiting your website, where they go, how long they stay and how they got there. We use two comprehensive statistics packages google analytics and awstats. These provide you with all the information that you will need to know about who is visiting your website.
