About Web design, Search Engine Optimisation and Ecommerce
Why do I need a website?
A well designed and good looking website will help you open up a new market and reach out to thousands of potential customers who sourced the internet for suppliers and business opportunities. It also helps to project your Company as a modern, professional and tech-savvy entity.
What can my website do for me?
Your website is an advertisement for your business, it is also a contact point through which customer can reach you in the online world. Some of the things you can do with your website are to showcase your products and services, provide customers with 24 hours access for purchasing and information on your products and services, collect contact information and feedback from your customers and as a portal for you and your employees to interact.
Why should I pay you to do something I can do myself?
Anyone can design and set up a simple website, however by paying us a reasonable premium out of your budget, you can be assured of getting a professionally designed website while freeing your time and resources to manage and expand your business.
Now that my website is done, who is going to the maintenance and update?
Upon completion of your website, we will teach you how to do the maintenance and update yourself, however we can provide this as a weekly or monthly service at an affordable rate.
Since my website is done, why bother maintaining or updating it?
If your intention of having a website is to let it sit there without adding value to your business, what is the point of having one to begin with? Your potential customers are constantly searching the internet for business partners and products that they are interested in, imagine what sort of impression you will give them if your website provides information that are outdated or irrelevant.
So I am convinced, but how much is this going to cost me?
It will be unfair to everyone if we are to provide you with a quotation without knowing your specifications and design criteria. We need to know how many pages you want your website to be and whether you want to throw in Flash animations or other add-ons that will require more time and costs for its development. As a reference, a static website with 10 pages will usually set you back by about SGD700 with additional pages at SGD20 per page.
What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting is a service provided by companies like us whereby all the files of your website are stored on web servers so that your website can be accessed on the internet. The server computer is said to be a host for your website.
So you design my website and make more money out of me by doing the web hosting as well?
DISCLAIMER: All our customers are free to choose their own web hosting providers and we are providing web hosting as an added service. At the moment we are providing web hosting services through a third party provider and we have tried our best to keep the charges as affordable as possible.
What is a shopping cart?
A shopping cart is a software that acts as an online store's catalogue and ordering process. Typically, a shopping cart is the interface between a company's website and its deeper infrastructure, allowing consumers to select merchandise review what they have selected, make necessary modifications or additions and purchase the merchandise.

What is Search Engine Optimization and why do I need it?
Search Engine Optimization, also known as SEO, is the process of increasing the amount of visitors to a Web site by ranking high in the search results of a search engine. The higher a Web site ranks in the results of a search, the greater the chance that that site will be visited by a user. Usually Internet users will not click through pages and pages of search results, so where a site ranks in a search is essential for directing more traffic toward the site. SEO helps to ensure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found by the search engine.
How long does it take to see the results of SEO?
The amount of time range from 30 days to a few months depending on how often search engines crawl sites to pick up changes, update index and re-rank sites.
OK, so how much this time?
A Search Engine Optimization campaign can be extremely time-consuming and require a lot of research and planning on our part. Pricing will varies depending on the market that you are after, whether local or international and the kind of industry that you are in. As a reference, a customer targeting the Singapore market in a non-competitive industry (meaning that not a lot of competitors are after the same key words that you want to target) will probably have to set aside about SGD1,500 for the initial month of the SEO campaign and about SGD150 per month thereafter.
Did you say "keywords"? How does that come into the picture?
Part of the procedure for a SEO campaign consist of selecting some keywords or keyphrases relevant to your business and optimizing your website such that when a potential customer type in the particular keyword, your website will be among the top few results to be returned.

I have been using this set of accountiong software for years and I feel that it is time for an upgrade, should I customise one or get an off-the-shelf copy?
