Overview

As a business involved with web design since the early days of the internet, it still amazes us that people don't actually understand what their website is for, or why they need one.

domain registration, web design, html code optimisation, website hostingMany people who do take the plunge, buy badly.  They go for cheap and pretty.  Yet, the sad reality is that 90% of websites will never rank in the first 10 pages of search engine results.  They simply aren't well made. 

And if they do actually rank, the information is often lacking, and at best encourages people to ring the business.

At Keppel Net, we know what websites are for.  They are a 24 hour shopfront that needs no staff.  They are there to capture the potential clients who can't ring you between 9 and 5.  They are there to make customers WANT to deal with you, and then to provide an alternative way for them to do so. 

Keppel Net's foremost specialty is web design and optimisation.  Search engines love our sites, and we have tons of success stories to our credit.  We offer a limitless range of website and internet marketing solutions to help your business rise to the top of search engine results.

Here are some typical examples:

Template Details
Suits a business that needs a lot of images to convey its message.  This is not a good template for plain text, as a wide page with long lines of text is irritating to read online and visitors will go elsewhere.

Includes:
- Registration of web domain and 1 years hosting of website
- Loading of keywords, alt tags, and style sheet design
- Client provides graphics in editable .psd format or exact size .bmp/.jpg
- Client provides written content in .doc, .txt, or .pdf formats
See "optimisation" section below for additional options and enhancements.

Costs:
1 page $450 including GST
5 page $750 including GST
Narrows the page so that text is easy to read and not too heavy on graphics.  Side bar can be used decoratively or to list, say branches, brand names etc.  Incorrect use of side column can adversely affect search engine rankings.

Includes:
- Registration of web domain and 1 years hosting of website
- Loading of keywords, alt tags, and style sheet design
- Client provides graphics in editable .psd format or exact size .bmp/.jpg
- Client provides written content in .doc, .txt, or .pdf formats
See "optimisation" section below for additional options and enhancements.

Costs:

Similar to Template 2, but side column can be used more effectively for content with little detriment to search engine rankings.  Downside is that people prefer to read content on the right side of the page.

Includes:
- Registration of web domain and 1 years hosting of website
- Loading of keywords, alt tags, and style sheet design
- Client provides graphics in editable .psd format or exact size .bmp/.jpg
- Client provides written content in .doc, .txt, or .pdf formats
See "optimisation" section below for additional options and enhancements.

Costs:
1 page $480 including GST
5 page $780 including GST
A template that uses both side columns for decoration only, this type of page suits a straightforward site that favours visual effects over content.  Has the advantage of greater customisation with no adverse affect on rankings.

Includes:
- Registration of web domain and 1 years hosting of website
- Loading of keywords, alt tags, and style sheet design
- Client provides graphics in editable .psd format or exact size .bmp/.jpg

Optimisation

There are two types of optimisation, visual optimisation and Search Engine Optimisation (called SEO).

Visual Optimisation is simply making the website attractive to visitors, giving them what they want to see, but keeping it different enough from your competitors to keep your visitors interested.  Web designers usually get this wrong.

SEO is the other type of optimisation, where the goal is to make the site "technically attractive" to search engines.  It is a highly technical skill, requiring a knowledge of what search engines want to see. 

These attributes are ever changing in order to thwart spam sites etc, and it is a definite skill to make a website stand out to search engines without standing out too much.

Keppel Net possesses all the optimisation skills you need to make your website stand out from your competitors.
