Are you at the right web design company?

Before we start with your online training program we need to assess if we are the right company for your web design needs. We hope that we are. We assist people who want to appear on page 1 of Google trough both sponsored (pay for click campaigns) and organic searches.

Our main focus being the latter.

What do we mean with organic results? Organic results are achieved when your website appears on a search results page without you having to pay for it or without people searching for your business name.

Please see the image below:

In this example we searched for Fathers day Restaurant Specials.

In this example we see that Spur is running a Google Adwords campaign. At the moment it seems that they are the only bidders for that specific search phrase.

Below that search results are the organic searches. (The Brass Bell, Kalk Bay one of our clients being among them).

Our typical clients view these kind of organic search results as very important. A lot of talk trough this program is aimed at helping you get to page 1 under the organic search results.

Our ideal client views their website as a business tool (and not only as a piece of art) and enjoy features such as:

  • Easy to manage the website
  • Mobile enabled as well
  • Free SMS System and Email included
  • Enabling modules at the click of a button
  • Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant (two in the case of Buddy Web Design)
  • Being part of the support structure of largest Web Design Company in South Africa with over 5,500 active websites
  • Unlimited number of pages
Some people's focus are so intent on the look of the website that they pay no attention to the content they wish to add or any functionalities that the system has to offer.
 
We have examples of our work on this website. This should give you a fair idea of what you can expect from us in terms of what your website will look like. We will add more examples. The look of your website is largely influenced by your budget on graphic design and professional photographs. We are teachers or tutors on the Kwikwap System and not advanced graphic designers. For between R500-R1,000 you can have a professional logo or website banner made. More often than not our clients are happy with the look of their websites before we start the training. We will gladly spend extra time on graphics or complicated programming to give you a prettier website when you work on the content of your website. Without a focus on content your project is doomed in terms of Google results and we might not be the right web design company for you. Throughout this Online Training Program their is a strong focus on content and obtaining top spot on Google searches. 
 
We hope that your needs and ours are aligned.

Identifying your goals and objectives

The first thing you should do with any new project is to identify your goals and objectives. The same applies when you embark on a web design project / when you decide to become an internet marketer. We specialise in helping small business owners with a limited budget to get business trough the internet by having an informative website. We need to have an understanding of your goals and objectives at the outset of your new web design project. This will assist us to better service your needs. Some people do not rely on search engines like Google to find their business website but would rather market the website trough other means like the printed media. Knowing this will assist us in better serving you. 

It has to be said at the start of this training program that this training program will not be designed to replace the physical training and consulation service offered by Buddy Web Design or to replace existing online training manuals. 

We will discuss your web design objectives with you at the start of the new project.
