What Does Best Web Design Gold Coast Actually Sell?
Best Web Design Gold Coast – What Platform?
Cheap Websites – Or Affordable Websites?
Surprisingly, not websites – they sell a tool to attract more clients or customers.
Anyone trying for the title “Best Web Design Gold Coast” realises that a website is a marketing tool.
It stands or falls on whether it improves your bottom line. A free website that brings in no new business has actually cost you money – because you had to spend time building it when you could have been working on something productive.
The main reason a website – free or paid – will not improve your business is because no-one sees it.
As part of our quest for the title “Best Web Design Gold Coast” we stopped selling websites and started selling “Guaranteed Top 20 Google Spots.”
Best Web Design Gold Coast - Sample Site
This is the first thing you need to check when shopping around – Is a Top 20 Google spot guaranteed. Many Gold Coast Web Design companies will not guarantee a Top 20 Spot; we do. We charge $100 Deposit, but the balance is not due until you appear in the Top 20. No Top 20 Spot – No pay! Could we offer such a deal unless we provide the Best Web Design Gold Coast?
The second thing we sell is our Marketing Skills. See how we get into the client / customers mind by choosing a name for our own website that mirrors what people will type into Google as a search term. Now I can hear some of you saying I would type “Best Gold Coast Web Design” not “Best Web Design Gold Coast.”
Check out who owns www.BestGoldCoastWebDesign.com. Or can you guess? You see, we did not want one of our competitors beating us to it, so we own both. These are the type of marketing skills we bring to the process of working with you to improve your bottom line. In fact, if you are so ego-driven that you insist your websites is www.joebloggs.com (or www.janebloggs.com) I will refuse to work with you – I want that kind of business to go to my competitors 
So if you do work with us, we will talk a lot about finding new clients or getting more business and only a little about the colour of your site or trying to glorify our own position with jargon, html, css and the other rubbish you do not need to know about. Working with a businessman who learnt to build websites beats the pants of working with a web designer with no business sense.
Which do you think would deliver results for “Best Web Design Gold Coast?”
A major decision for Best Web Design Gold Coast is – What platform do we use to build our website?
While there are many options – html, wordpress, joomla, drupal, using scripts, etc – most websites are now built using either html or wordpress.
Now, in deciding the best platform for best web design on Gold Coast, you need to be aware of “vested interests.”
Gold Coast Web Designers using the html platform will tell it is the best – for one very good reason. Html does indeed build a good website, but you are in the web designers hands unless you are prepared to learn html; almost any changes to your website leave you dependent on your web designer. This, of course, incurs extra fees, so they have a vested interest in defending html.
So we recommend WordPress as the platform for Best Web Design Gold Coast.
If you can use MS Word and send an email, you can fix most things on your website yourself using wordpress. For example, if you want to change a Post or Page – or add a new one – you can certainly do it yourself. Add a new link? Yep, dead easy.
In practice, it becomes a partnership. The day to day stuff you can certainly do yourself, thereby avoiding ongoing costs. The initial setup however is specialised and there are a few technical areas you should ask for help with, such as changing the Theme (the “look” of your website.)
WordPress also comes with some one-time-set-up options that your Gold Coast Web Designer sets up to run on auto-pilot, such as making backups and emailing them to you at regular options, usually weekly.
I have used both html and wordpress to build websites, but these days use wordpress exclusively.
So if you are thinking, what platform for Best Web Design Gold Coast – I strongly recommend wordpress.
How easy is it to update your own wordpress website? Go to www.businesswebsitesgoldcoast.com and watch video 4, Managing Your Website. I introduce the video and then one of my clients illustrates how he puts new content onto the website I built for him. Takes 8 minutes to watch, could save you thousands on maintaining your website!

Affordable Websites are very different to Cheap Websites.
An affordable website brings you value for money – it is about getting your business in front of new potential clients / customers. Unless your website gets found in Google, it is not going to help your business – so even if you got it for free, it is useless.
Cheap websites, even free websites, are widely available today, but you have to ask – is this a sound business investment? Even a free website will eat up your time.
Affordable websites delivers results.
It is a balance between how little can I pay for my website, and how much new exposure can I get for my business. Other considerations include what are the on-going costs, can I update my website myself, what else is included – and most of all, is a Top 20 Google Spot Guaranteed?
You should look for a Youtube video being included. Ranking for a Youtube Video is still easier than ranking in Google. For example, searching for “affordable websites” in Youtube brings 2,310 results (May 2011) while searching for “affordable websites” on Google brings 3,220,000 results (May 2011). If your product or service has visual appeal, or is for a Youtube type audience, then video marketing is an essential part of your strategy.
