A company
that evolves with technology.
Webbits Designs began
in 1997 as a sole trader web design company. With
a reputation of quality service and workmanship,
the company grew to offer services such as full
internet consultation, graphic design work and
eventually full web site development. With the
addition of each new service, Webbits Designs
continued to maintain the highest level of customer
satisfaction while looking at how new technologies
and services could enhance our service to our
clients. Webbits Designs
have always realized the importance of the electronic
medium for all businesses. Webbits Designs took
a new direction in 2000 by changing from a traditional
web design agency to a full blown one stop web
development agency for the small to medium size
businesses. This new direction grows from Webbits
Designs commitment to providing a quality, professional
service with the interest of our clients in the
forefront of our minds.
Webbits Designs now offers
the services of two highly motivated and talented
professionals ready to help with your developmental
needs. From simple web design to complex web
solutions. Webbits Designs are focused on the
values of quality workmanship, quality service,
at a cost-effective price.
The power of our team.
Webbits Designs has proved
itself as a small, but reliable, stable and
progressive company during it's 7-year tenure.
We are not guided by quantity. We are guided
by quality of service and attention to each
of our clients. We have the ability to created
complex database driven web site solutions in
house. We do not sub contract out any of the
work involved in the construction of our web
sites. We feel that this is an important part
of the integrity of our company as web developers.
We know this works for our clients, as it speeds
up communication and instills a confidence that
creates a better working relationship.
Although there are only two
of us here at Webbits Designs, we have all the
necessary talents needed to produce pro-active
online marketing. We create websites that create
an inviting and intuitive atmosphere to ensure
an enjoyable, informative and user friendly
experience for your potential customers. A custom
site management tool is also developed so the
site can stay current with fresh content, stimulating
action and stirring interest.
How many roles do we as Web
Developers need to play?
Whether your business is
a nonprofit organization, a small or medium
sized company, chances are your website requires
your designer to wear five different hats:
• Business Strategist
• Marketing Mastermind
• Code Monkey
• Content Developer
• Graphic Designer
Within our small agency we
have all the above skills. Over the years we
have focused on each of these areas in turn
and believe that we have managed to link these
skills together to make us a formidable team
within the internet marketing world. Although
a small business might believe they need a Web
designer, what they truly need is a Webmaster.
We have never really thought of ourselves as
gurus in any one of the five positions, don't
be put off. 90% of companies need someone who
is pretty good at all of the tasks, rather than
someone who is excellent in only one or two
of the roles. Let's examine each of the hats
we must wear in order to help your company become
the owner of a successful website.
Business Strategist:
Start With A Plan.
It's impossible for a website
to meet or exceed its goals if it doesn't align
with a business goal. We call this clarification-
without it our clients probably won’t
get any results with their website. We work
with your clients to gain a solid understanding
of their company's history, vision and short
and long term goals. We ask questions. Offer
suggestions on how the Web can help their company
meet their goals, or on how goals can be modified
to take advantage of technological opportunities.
This is give and take. We introduce ideas that
can help the business grow and evolve through
the website and technology.
Marketing Mastermind:
Sell It To Your Audiences.
A decent website has all of
the relevant information—background information
on the company, information on the products
or services on offer, relevant contact info,
etc. A superb website meets both business and
marketing goals and fashions the information
in a way that appeals to, and speaks to its
audiences. It's not enough just to have the
information online. Like all businesses, the
companies that advertise, have an attractive
and inviting look and feel. They are the ones
that will be more successful. Whether it's making
it easy for potential customers to find a business
through search engine positioning or communicating
with potential or current clients through an
online newsletter, don't forget your marketing,
or your customers will forget you.
Code Monkey—It's
Gotta Work.
This is the core job of a
Webmaster…someone sitting in that dark
corner office typing in a wierd language …but
it is still important. It is a necessity that
a web site is technically sound, making sure
there are no broken links or images, and that
it has multi-browser functionality. Whilst wearing
all of our other hats, we don't forget to do
periodic checks and tests of the pages in different
environments to make sure we are getting your
message across in the way you intended. Our
motto here is “keep it simple, keep it
smart”. Remember when things go wrong
that we are the people responsible for fixing
the problems while juggling with the other four
roles.
Content Developer—Words
and Pictures Matter.
Certainly, an attractive website
is important. We make sure, however, that your
online presence has words and messages that
are meaningful, relevant, up-to-date and consistent.
All this while still incorporating keywords
and content that drive search traffic. How many
times have you visited a website and read through
its pages only to disgustedly realize that it
hadn’t been updated since 1999? And how
many times have you looked at a website rife
with grammatical errors, typos and confusing
information? How many times did you return to
either of those websites? Make sure that your
website's words and graphics represent your
company's products and services. Although this
is an important part of being a Webmaster, with
the web sites we design our clients have a great
deal of control over the content of their web
site. We design sites that enable daily updating
of products and services.
Graphic Designer—Yes,
It Has To Be Pretty.
The Internet was developed
initially for use by government agencies and
institutions of higher learning—not exactly
the sorts of entities that bring thoughts of
unbridled creativity to mind. Visual design,
brand awareness and marketing savvy weren’t
exactly high priorities. Since the Internet
has evolved, however, designers are pushing
the boundaries of what the web can do. An attractive
website that maintains consistency with offline
marketing elements and images is imperative.
Empty visuals that promote unattainable promises
will hurt your marketing efforts. Instead we
focus on creating a simple visual message that
can be carried over into other mediums. This
not only makes our lives as Code Monkies easier,
it also gives us kudos as a Marketing Masterminds.
We create a visually compelling online home
that maintains the key branding elements from
our clients offline campaigns. The synergies
created will produce results that both our clients
and their potential customers will appreciate.
OK ...enough about us.
