Why you should hire us to build your website other than your friend

As any design agency who’s been around for a while can tell you, it’s the objection heard ’round the world – “Why should I hire you guys my (insert – friend, uncle, dad, brother, sister, cousin, dog, foreign outsourced agency) can build me a website for only xxx dollars?”

First off let me say hey, I like your friend (even though I’ve never met him/her nor do I know if this friend you speak of actually exists) but let’s be realistic – why give your hard earned money to your ‘friend’ when you can help pay for Adster’s new ‘Luxury Wing’ complete with water fountain, pinball machines, massage chairs, a giant marble sculpture of myself and maybe, MAYBE even a washroom.

All jokes aside, I’m confident that your designer friend, developer dude or web ninja has the skills and internet pedigree to build you the website you want. However what your friend MAY be lacking is the experience to build the website you NEED.
Well … technically speaking ….

Does your friend know anything about having a crawlable sitemap, proper meta keywords, descriptions and titles? Do they know how to build a robots.txt file, KML sitemap or rich snippet code for your businesses phone number, address and official business name? How about adding content? Did your ‘Uncle’ set you up with a content management system? If so what kind? Do you know what it does and how it’s intended to be used?

If you’ve been following our Education Video Series (if you haven’t been – shame on you) you will have seen Dave (airbrushed to the nines) discussing that having a website is only half the battle and that building the ‘right’ website, or at least the ‘right’ website in Google’s eyes, is what’s most important.
The ethics of, uh… err… business?

To all friends, uncles, grandfathers and friends of friends – we apologize. It isn’t our mission nor do we intend to take away from the ‘family business’. We just want to work on a level playing field and make sure we’re delivering on all fronts – even if that means stepping on a few toes.

As I said before it’s time to shake things up so if you wanna get things done the RIGHT way – give us a call  0704904603 / 07822852964

Building the ‘Right’ Website for your Small Business

With any luck, we (and more importantly, your customers) have been able to convince you that having a website is pretty much ‘essential’ these days. However, make no mistake – not all websites are created equal. But how much should you spend? Should you build it yourself? In this video, Dave covers some critical ‘must have’s’ when building the ‘right’ website for your Small Business.

Video Transcription

Hi there, Dave Forster with Adster Creative. In our last video we established that having a website is pretty much essential for business’s these days, however in this video – we’re going to talk about ‘Building the ‘right’ website’.

Over the years the team at Adster has been involved in the creation of 100’s of different websites and in that time we’ve come to establish a pretty clear idea in what’s involved in building the right website.

Number 1 - on our list is your Website’s Content. What your website says about your business is crucial. Your website content needs to have a clear purpose and concise call to action. What do you want your site visitors to do? Do you want them to call you? Do you want them to fill out some information about themselves? Do you want them to get know a little more about what you do? Remember; content is king right from the mouth of Google

Number 2 – Visual Appeal . These days having a professionally designed and professional looking website that instills confidence and trust is absolutely essential You want your visitors to feel comfortable on your website.

Number 3 – Fundamental SEO. SEO could stem into a whole other series of videos – and it will – but for building the right website, fundamental SEO means communicating to search engines very clearly a couple of very important things, namely the name of your business, your companies phone number, your geographical location and other fundamentals like the exact nature of the types of products and services you offer. Fundamental SEO literally separates the men from the boys in the world of Google

Number 4 – Speed and Usability. This is another factor that is increasing in importance with having the right website. Having a website that loads quickly and is easy to use and understand for your visitors is absolutely crucial.

Number 5 – Control of your Content. As a business owner you want to be able to access certain areas of your website and update its content. You want to be able to add specials or promotions or you may want to update staff profiles. Having control over your website content is very-very important.
