We can configure a forum, gallery or blog to your website giving you a real head start when it comes to looking cool and funky. A forum can be ideal when you want to encourage open dialogue from users, and our wicked gallery is a must for businesses like hotels and night clubs, allowing you to feature photographic evidence of your customers exploits which might be better kept under wraps! It’s great fun, and an ideal way to involve your punters, making them feel a real part of your venue or event. Of course, a gallery can be used for more serious means too – in fact, anything where you need the ability to upload images regularly to a section of your website. You think of the reason and we’ll provide the solution!
Blogs are ideal for those of you who like to have your say. Your ‘web log’, or online diary, can be just like having your own regular column in a newspaper, giving you the option to add to and update it as often as you like. And because all these solutions are configured using tried and trusted open source technology, you can bet your life they’ll be well within your budget.
Many of our clients get confused and bewildered over search engine submission, pay-per-click campaigns and general marketing. It’s worth remembering that it’s virtually impossible for anyone to get you to the top of page one of a search engine organically, ie: without you having to pay anything. Your Freebird website will be built to DDA accessibility standards, which will make it as search engine friendly as it can be, which in turn will give you the best chance of a decent ranking without taking any additional steps. Of course, the other factor that needs to be considered is that it can actually take up to six months for search engines to index your site – and even then there are no guarantees. If you do decide to kick start it yourself, we can offer you our ‘search engine and directory submission package’. With access to over 300 directories and search engines – including all the major ones – we can tailor a campaign to the needs of your business or service. It needn’t cost the earth and it can be just the shot in the arm you’re looking for.
If you need an extra leg-up, a well managed ‘pay-per-click’ campaign could be just the ticket. Basically, this means that you buy your way to a higher position in the search engines. It means that you have to shell out each time someone clicks through to your site (and we also take a modest management fee, all crystal clear and agreed up front), but it can be an extremely cost effective way of procuring red hot enquiries. And our experience in researching your marketplace means we quite often turn up very effective search terms that don’t cost the earth.
This can be extremely effective as a bolt-on to our eCommerce package if you are selling goods in a price-sensitive market. Put quite simply, it’s a price comparison service brought to you by Google, which lists you along with your competitors when a customer is looking for a particular product. Your prices will need to be keen, but when applied correctly, Froogle can be worth its weight in gold. And we’ll be quite happy to set your eShop up for Froogle at a price that will leave you smiling all the way to the bank.
