This from Wendy ...

What Wendy has to sayAfter a disappointment through another web developer which did little more than waste my time and money, I found the answer through QSS.

QSS helped me not only with presenting a truly professional look to my website to advertise to my valuable clients, but they also support me with ongoing professional, friendly assistance with updating information and helpful tips should I require it.

I highly recommend QSS to everyone who wants professional and efficient website development services.

This from Paul ...

What Paul has to sayAlthough I have a personal page on the Roost Mortgages site, I needed more flexibility to be able to tie in with my marketing, QSS handled it all for me, including the copywriting.

The next thing I knew I had all these emails from people arriving in my inbox requesting information and asking to be added to my newsletter, it took me a moment to realise they were all coming in from the web site QSS had created for me.

This from Mark ...

What Mark has to sayWe’d been chatting to the guys at QSS for a while about creating a web site for out Raw Food company Vital Essence.

Then all of a sudden it became urgent, we had a great article about us appearing in the Herald newspaper.

Of course we wanted to use this to our benefit and drive traffic to our web site.

Problem was no web site yet, we gave QSS 48 hours notice that the article was about to be published and they had a site up and running the night before the article came out.

And yes there was a heap of people visiting the site the next day.

You have a list of people who have asked you to send them info about what you do and what you have on offer.

You select some products, write a short intro, it's all done with a template so it's got a consistent look and they'll recognise it when it arrives

You hit Send and out go your newsletters, followed shortly by orders flooding your email inbox

All you need to do to get your copy delivered direct to your inbox, plus other great tips over the next few days, is enter you first name and email address below, do it now and we’ll send you the info in the next few minutes, finish reading this page then check your inbox.

You’ll need to confirm your subscription by clicking on the link in the email, this is known as double opt-in, so we know it really is you asking for the info and not someone else trying to fill you email inbox with stuff you didn’t ask for. Yes we hate spam as much as you, we promise to only send you valuable info and not sell you details to others, period. And of course you can unsubscribe at any time, there’s a link at the bottom in all the emails.

Lets get started ...

Step #1 – What’s the bonus you and your business will get from having a web site?

So you want to have a web site ... heck everyone else seems to have one, should you have one as well?

One of the first things to do is write a list of how the web site will help put more $ in your pocket, how it will save you time, and what it can automate.

Make sure you do this first before doing the rest of the steps outlined here, it’ll make the other steps easier.

Now you know why it’s important you have a web site, then next thing to do is define who you’re targeting  - is it strangers, neighbours, or friends?

Step #2 - Who are you targeting Strangers, Neighbours, or Friends?

The visitors to your site are typically in one of three groups - Strangers, Neighbours, or Friends.

Strangers:

These are the people you’ve never met, don’t know you or your company, typically they’re on the web looking for info, have found your web site and are looking for a reason to do business with you rather than someone else who is only a few seconds and a click on the Back button away.

Neighbours:

These are typically prospective customers, it’s likely they already know you, perhaps through some other marketing you’ve done or a previous visit to your site for info.

Friends:

These are your existing customers – think of what you can provide them to keep them coming back. And importantly – referring their friends and colleagues to come do business with you.

Get Clarity

Your web site should focus on one of these groups to ensure clarity. If you have to, there are ways to focus on more than one group, like we do here on this web site ... we’ll get to that later.

Excellent you’ve selected your target audience, what’s next you ask?

Step #3 – Choosing the right Home Page style

There are 3 recommended styles of Home page that out perform the standard “This is who we are” home page.

Yes Sales letter
Yes Newspaper cover
Yes Magazine article contents

Sales letter:

The Sales letter style home page is basically a letter to those arriving at your site, it’s aimed at your target audience, and like any good sales letter asks the reader to take a specific action, preferably now.

There are 2 schools of thought when it comes to writing these letters – long and short.

Short letters, say 250 – 350 words, or maybe as many as  500 – 600, usually no more than a printed page or two.

Long letters, often 5, 10, or more printed pages. These typically tell a story, or (like this page) walk you through a process.

What they both have in common is:

Yes Both have an attention grabbing headline (this is what gets the reader to keep reading past the headline – just like in a newspaper)
Yes Describe what you’re offering and how they can get it
Yes Followed by a call to action, preferably something they do now while it’s fresh in their mind and while they’re on you’re site.

 ... just like if you were writing to a paper based letter.

Newspaper cover:

Just take a look at any newspaper cover page and you’ll get the idea of what this style of home page will look like. Typically a main article and several smaller ones on the page. Articles may be continued on a separate page. Each article has a headline drawing the reader in to read the article (just like a newspaper does) . This is like having several short sales letters on the page.

Layout and writing style is similar to a newspaper to give the familiarity and gain trust. The articles, however, are marketing focused to whet the readers appetite for your paid services or products.

Magazine article contents:

Check out the contents page of most magazines – these consist of article headings and for some articles, small intro text to further draw reader interest.

This style of home page is great for linking to 5, 10, or more marketing style articles. Excellent when you’ve got a lot of info you can share (in other words give value to the reader) – making your site a hub for locating information and still driving the visitor to use your products and services.

The home page of your website is by far the most important of all pages for people visiting your site – it’ll most likely be the most visited page and is the first impression you present to prospective customers.

Step #4 – What other pages do you want to include?

Typically you’ll have at least the following pages:

Yes About Us
Yes Contact Us
Yes Product / Service info
Yes How-to and info articles

About Us page:

The About Us page is a great place to tell your story – why you do what you do, what makes you unique, your key people (perhaps including photos), etc ...

Contact Us page:

The Contact Us page gives people all the details they need to get in touch with you and you can include phone and fax numbers, postal and location address, as well as email and perhaps even a map and directions on how to get to your business.

As an added bonus for all QSS built web sites all email addresses are “cloaked” – meaning it’s safer to include email addresses on your website because the special cloaking makes it much more difficult for automated spamming tools to decipher your email address. So your web site visitors get better access to you, and you get less spam.

Product / Service info page(s):

Many web site visitors these days will use your web site to gather information before contacting or visiting you to make a purchase. Pages that describe what you do and have will help people make a decision.

How-to and info article page(s):

Information and How-To articles are a great way to transfer knowledge and give value to your customers.

There is a special technique to writing these, if you want to find out what it is, then enter your details below (if you haven’t already signed up). Do it now and your first tip will be in your email inbox in the next few minutes.

Step #5 – What do you want the website to look like?

The look and feel of a website is what’s called the “skin” and it’s the skin that sets the tone and helps define the first impression people have when viewing your web site.

The same “content”, the info on the web site about you and your business, with two different skins can give a visitor a completely different perception of your business – so it’s important to choose something that suits your image.

Having said this, don’t get too caught up in the look and feel  - it’s usually easily changeable with little if any impact on the rest of the website content.

To make life simpler, below you’ll find a collection of excellent skins that come in a range of colours and layout options, all created by world class graphic designers.

Simply choose one of these and the colour you want  - that’s it, website look and feel taken care of.

People sometimes ask “Is it possible to have these changed a bit or a lot, or have something completely different?” You bet, let us know what you’re after and we’ll get you an estimate to create it.

These pre-built skins will get your site up quicker and only cost a fraction of what they would if you had to pay someone to design them just for you.

Also, several new skins are typically released each month by these world class graphic designers, so remember to ask us what’s new.

Step #6 – Your domain name and would you like email with that?

Choosing a domain name:

Your domain name is the text you type into your web browser (e.g., www.qss.co.nz or www.bVelocity.com). If you already have one, that’s great, we can use this.

If you don’t have a domain name yet it’s a simple matter of getting one and we can take care of that for you. To get started, if your business name is already taken, brainstorm names related to the name of your business.

If you haven’t signed up already, enter you info below to get tips on choosing a domain name. Do it now and we’ll send you your first tip in the next few minutes.

The importance of email:

In a recent survey 79.4% of people said they’d prefer to do business with people and companies that have email addresses that use the company domain name rather than free or ISP email domain names like Hotmail or Xtra.

Although offered as a separate paid service, you get email included for Free with your hosting membership for up to 5 email addresses, more are available on request.

This means you can have email addresses that use your domain name such as sales@company.co.nz or yourname@company.co.nz. So you may want email addresses associated with different people and different roles within your business.

Start now with Step #1 and work through each of the steps. Enter you name and email address above and get extra tips related to these Steps and marketing yourself on the Internet.

As an added incentive, if you are the first person today to email me your list of reasons why you need a web site and how it’ll boost your business, then I’ll send you a special bonus ... you’ll have to email me to find out what it is because if our competition knew which secrets I’m about to send you, they would not be too happy to say the least.
