Identity, Branding and You

You’d be amazed at the number of people I meet who have their own business but don’t yet have an email address or website that reflects the name of that business.

 

Often, they are just using a Hotmail account or a free internet email address that came with their home Broadband yet they have vans with their company’s name and then that unbranded email address alongside it.

Customer’s will never come to associate something like joeb9123@hotmail.com with a business branding !

Taking The First Step…

The first step towards getting your own identity on the internet is to find and register what is known as an internet domain name. After this you have the options for email and websites for that domain.

Talk to Us

Let me do the work for you and leave you to your expertise

I will consult with you and choose a sensible domain name which is registered to you.

I will create email addresse(s) for each user of the new domain.

I will then show how the email can be picked up from a PC and on the move via mobile devices (iPhone etc).

I will discuss your needs for a suitable website and give you options on content and costings.

Great! I now have my own Domain so what about a website ?

Websites come in all shapes and sizes. The best plan is to start with something as soon as possible because in order to find your business on the internet people will start by using one of the search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo etc). The search engines build up a database of websites by doing automatic searches each day. So, the sooner you have something for them to find (your website with company details and services) the more likely it is you’ll get business coming in from the website.

Start simple

If you are not yet sure how you want to present your business on the internet web site, at least get a single page site with a brief description of the products and services as well as contact details. You can add or remake the site later but get your identity and brand out there now!

Hobbies and Interests

If you want to put your own hobby, club or interest onto the web Mark can provide you with the help you need. Typically, these have fewer than 5 pages and have simple designs.

Business Websites

If you are a small business and want to have a web presence then you might only want a few pages with a contact form. This site is an example of that type. PMCS Electrical is an example of this sort of site written by Mark.

You might be a larger business and need a customer portal comprising login area and supporting database. The Guildford Branch of the RNLI is an example of such a site written in C# ASP.NET by Mark (actually, this is now currently being redeveloped after 5 years of use so come and see the new modern look and feel soon! )

For a more sophisticated site presentation Mark can bring to some design ideas of a local graphic designer. An example is “Carer Call” with some screen shots shown below:

Carer call featured a secure login area for customers, searching a SQL 2005 database for matching care requirements, and a custom calendar holding care bookings for each customer.
