Web Design

The Web environment has proved an invaluable tool to tell your customers what you have to offer. All promotional material, goods and information can be transferred electronically and updated as often as you want. New offers, new features and new developments can be added on an ad-hoc basis to keep your customers informed and attract new customers.

Our aim is to understand your business and through that understanding help market your services and products over the Internet. We will provide ideas and designs to help you get the best out of your web site and we will show you how to update it yourself without the need for design experience. Alternatively, we can host your site for you.

Internet and Web Design courses are available.

Objectives

Before undertaking any work towards a web site you should first consider the objectives of the site. Ask yourself what it is you want from the site, will it deliver the results you expect, how will you let people know about the site?

Establish the objectives for the site. For example will the site be designed to:

  • market / advertise to world wide audience
  • online brochure
  • sell online
  • communicate with customers/suppliers

Whether deciding on your first site or updating an existing one, @ce can offer a free, no obligation, consultation to allow you to make an informed decision as to the best web solution for your needs.



Cost

Naturally one of the most critical issues when considering a web site is how much will it cost me. Unfortunately web sites are not like buying ordinary business products or services because each one is potentially different and unique, however, you should consider budgeting for the following:

  • domain name
  • design - provide your own logo's, text electronically
  • hosting
  • maintenance (try to avoid date sensitive information which will require constant updating)

Design

There are no rules set in stone stating how to design a good web site. It's a personal thing and one person's preference may differ from another. However, there are a number of best practice guidelines you can follow such as:

  • use a consistent theme to ensure you get the same message across
  • choose you colours and fonts carefully
  • look at your competitor sites to get some ideas
  • Don't go overboard. If it's not essential to the site, ask yourself if it's necessary to achieving the objective

Whatever your preference, Ace-Training will work together with you providing advice and guidance to ensure your site is optimised to achieve the objectives and meet your needs


Marketing

Many organisations make the mistake of regarding a web site as a replacement for traditional marketing, however, whilst the Internet should be used as a marketing tool, it should not be considered a substitute. Producing a superb web site will not automatically guarantee that people will visit it.

Ace-Training can offer proven advice and guidance on ways to promote your web site and even provide a simple check list to ensure you have done everything possible to maximise the impact of your site.


Maintenance

Depending on the nature of your site, you may require various details and pages changing such as the menu of a restaurant or you may have date sensitive material on it. Regardless of which, Ace-Training can provide a number of solutions to meet your needs, be it an ongoing maintenance contract, updates on an 'as needed' basis or even train your own people to maintain and manage the site.
