Designing a Web Page

If you consider yourself to be a technophobe, have a limited budget or just don't have time to handle the task of developing a full website, a custom designed web page in County Mayo may better suit your needs.

I would consider this smaller and lightweight option to be the minimum standard for effectively presenting your business on the web in County Mayo and can be quite powerful if prepared properly.

I provide custom designed web pages created to suit your brand and business, built to W3C web standards and optimised for better placement in search engines. The process is shorter and smoother than a full website development, which makes it simpler and more cost-effective for your business.

Web pages can be used to create a web presence and substantially improve your 'internet profile'. They act as a kind of 'webvert' to advertise your products and services, unique selling points and contact details.

"Chip shops don't need websites..."

I have a bit of saying that 'Chip shops don't need websites', which more or less means that not all businesses will necessarily benefit from the work and expense of having a full-blown web site.

However, as more and more people in County Mayo get broadband and use the web in their daily lives, being able to find your custom designed web page on the internet, look up your contact details, and get a good idea of your products or services is becoming increasingly valuable to all types of businesses.

This also means that customers outside the local area (or country) can also find you to find you via the web at a fraction of the cost of a full web site.

This is ideal for taxi drivers, florists, restaurants, bed and breakfasts etc.

What should I put in my web page?

In order for your web page to be successful and easily found in search engines, it needs to contain a reasonable amount of rich and useful information. You may want to include things like:-

• About Us
• Our Team
• Our Products
• Our Services
• How To Order
• Request A Brochure
• Contact Details
• Opening Hours
• Where To Find Us
• Google Map

The more detailed the information that you can provide - the better the page will work in search engines like Google. This is because you are more likely to include a phrase or term that your customers will use when searching for your products or services themselves.

How do I get started?

To prepare a successful web page in County Mayo you will need to provide the following information:-

1. Your logo or brand
2. Examples of any brochures, stationery or adverts
3. High quality content (text and pictures) to go in the page
4. Who the web page is aimed at
5. What image you want the design to project
6. Who your competitors are
7. Examples of any web pages you like the style of

When you approach Infiniti Mixed Media, I will then be able to:-

1. Check the content supplied
2. Estimate the cost of the job and provide a Design Order

Once the Design Order is agreed I will be authorised to go ahead and:-

1. Design the logo (if required)
2. Design and build the web page
3. Test and bugfix across the main browsers
4. Optimise and adjust for search engines

The page is viewed in place on the internet, which cuts out the visual stage to make it more cost-effective.

Once the page is designed you can proof read it on screen, making any amendments as necessary. The page is then launched by being made publicly available, and ultimately submitted to search engines for inclusion.
