Why are you so affordable?
原因有几点：
    1. I use smart template software to give a clean, stylish and professional look to my web designs.
      由于我没有从零开始编写代码，所以您无需为此付费。这些模板在布局、配色方案和内容方面都非常灵活。

 

    1. I work from home, so business overheads are at a minimum.
      I am Auckland-based, and while I am happy to meet with local clients, communication via phone and email is usually all that is required to generate great results. This saves us both time and money.

 

    1. I do not offer custom graphic design.
      For some businesses this may be necessary, but for most small businesses, a smart template with tailored content and professional images are more than enough to provide a strong and professional online presence.
      我乐意与平面设计师合作设计徽标和特定定制图像，但如果您需要大量的平面设计工作，最好还是寻找其他服务商。

 

    1. I genuinely want your business to get off on the right foot.
      I cringe at some ‘cheap’ websites out there, but appreciate that for many businesses, this is what they can afford. I want to help give small businesses a step up, by looking smart and professional right from the start, without needing a huge amount of cash to invest.
      网站上线后，我们可以根据需要继续进行修改。保持网站内容更新及时至关重要，务必确保产品/服务、价格和联系方式等信息始终准确无误，以便客户能够及时获取所需信息。

 

What are the ongoing costs to run my website?
There are two main ongoing costs to keep your website live on the internet:
    1. Hosting:
      互联网上的每个网站都需要“托管”在某个服务器上。这就像每月支付“租金”，让你的网站“生存”在互联网上一样。没有它，你的网站就无法存在。
      费用会根据您的业务需求而有所不同，但对于我的大多数客户而言，我首选的供应商每月收费 15 新西兰元（含消费税）。

 

  1. 域名注册：
    您的域名（网址）每年都需要续费。费用约为 18-25 新西兰元（不过通常包含在主机费用中）。

 
I prefer to set these up in your name, with your business credit card, as it is important that you own these important business asset (not me!).

I want to make regular changes to my website. Can I do these myself?
Yes! It is YOUR website.

网站完成后，我可以培训您/您的员工如何操作。
You will get a password to be able to login to do this from any computer with an internet connection.

对于更复杂的更新和更改，我仍将提供服务，并按小时收费（或对于较大的更新，按约定的项目费用收费）。

我已经有网站了，你能帮我修改一下吗？
Maybe.

It depends on the system your website has been built with (such as WordPress, Shopify, Weebly or WIX), and your requirements. Please get in touch 我们可以进一步讨论。

Where do you get the images for my website from?
The best images are photos of your business.
Ideally these will be taken by a professional photographer, but you can supply your own.
When we are planning your website, we can decide what shots we will require.

Your company logo or graphics can be supplied to me as a pdf, png or jpeg file.

Other images are sourced from:

  • 由平面设计师定制设计（如果您需要，我可以推荐一些设计师）。
  • stock images can be purchased from many sources

What is SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)?
If one of your reasons for building a website is to “be found on Google”, then understanding this is critical.

SEO is an important part of the web design process. It is somewhat ‘behind the scenes’, but is necessary to help you build traffic to your website over time.

When building your site, I will help optimise your website and content, and include meta data for all pages, and alt text for all images.

NOT INCLUDED:
The below are some other things that can be done, but are not included within the website build fee (as these are “off-page”). These often require an ongoing effort, and will help build ranking over time:

  • listing your website on appropriate directories
  • listing on other relevant industry websites
  • gaining links to your site on other sites
