SmartStart Websites

Like it or not we have well and truly reached the age of the internet and chances are, if you don’t have an online presence you won’t be found.  Research shows 70% of people search the web when looking to make a purchase.
So, you know you need one, but….

“How much will it cost for a website?”   Good Question.

This is one of the most common questions we get asked.
Our response is always:  “It depends on what you want the website to do for you.”
If you want a basic, attractive website, that acts like an online advertising brochure; a site that isn’t too complex but allows you to be found online and lets you present your products and services, then we have just the thing. – the SmartStart Website.  And at $550 setup and only $39 a month it’s the best investment in your business you will ever make.

If you need  a shopping cart site, then the SmartStart is not the answer. Check out our shopping cart options.

If you are after industry leading design with that “WOW” factor,  our design team will need to work closely with you to  translate your ideas into a high quality unique design for the web.  We love creating these sites, but the design elements will cost more. Ask about out custom built solutions

If you want to integrate to a special databases or require other specialised programming your website will  require some careful planning with our development team and analysts.

If you’re not really sure what you need,  we will happily discuss the options with you and guide you through the process of getting the best website for your business.

I just want a basic site

“No”, I hear you saying  “I just really want a basic site please”. (sounds like the milk ad ….)  “Something that looks good.  Something I can make changes to easily.  Something within my budget”.

We had you in mind when we created the SmartStart product!

SmartStart was designed for busy people.  Businesses who don’t have time to spend hours in design or consultation  meetings.   Businesses that are looking for a simple website solution without having to go into overdraft!  Businesses such as accountants, tradesman, accommodation venues and professional service companies. Those who want to showcase their business just as you do in a brochure, but utilising the reach and search power of the web.
SmartStart websites have a low entry set up cost of $550  together with a very user friendly CMS (content management system) that allows you to make your own edits if you wish.  Australian based hosting is provided (important for Google search), along with training and ongoing support for only $39 per month.
And just to get you started, we offer your first month free.

What this product can do for you:

Quick turn around

We can have you up and running within 15 working days of you placing your order and supplying us your content and any artwork you want us to include.  We give you a checklist of things to provide when you submit your request.
We offer you a choice of  page layouts, but if you have something else you need we can accommodate that through our Add-ons.

We will create a personalised header image based on your choice of colour scheme and layout and apply a tasteful style sheet to complement the header.  If you already have branding, then just provide the files.
We will include the ability for you to easily update content including text and images, load video and much more.

Hassle Free

You can leave it all to us if you like.  Our designers have loads of experience in creating website layouts that impress. Or just tell us your favourite colours; or maybe you  have a “style” in your head – funky, clean, professional, edgy, …   ;and we can take it from there.  Our team are experienced in knowing  what looks good and what works well.

Easy Editing

Not only do we think it’s easy, our clients think it’s easy and that’s what counts. We include training plus documentation, online video “how tos”  and ticket support as well.
