Why Choose US?

Try asking these questions and you will soon know if the company quoting you is capable of doing your work and is trustworthy:

• How long have you been in Business? How much experience do you have? Will they still be around after cashing your cheque? We have been established since 1997, have IT professionals with over 20 years experience and intend to build an ongoing relationship with customers rather than quick sales.
• How many staff you have? Can you trust them to support you when they are on holidays, away or not contactable? Many non-professional companies consist of one employee with obvious limitations for support.  We have several trusted staff that have access to our servers and can perform backups, restores and maintain your site when someone is on holidays or away.
• What sites have you developed? Viewing their portfolio allows you to view there work and determine if what you see is good, can be found by search engines and you may even contact the owners for referrals. Beware of companies that do not encourage this.  We have developed many sites, some of which are displayed in our portfolio for you to review.
• Do you perform Search engine Optimisation? We perform limited search engine optimisation whilst constructing the Website.  Many people charge thousands to do the same.
• Is your site dynamic or static HTML? Most Web designers are selling static Websites. Static means there is not database and your site cannot run dynamic content or act as a Web based application. We run all dynamic Websites that have SQL Server databases and hence allow for content to change over time and for people to register with your site and for you to allow them access to parts of your application (or Website) for registered users only.
• Can it be developed extended later inexpensively? As we provide a dynamic data enabled Website from the start extending it with dynamic content and adding the ability for you to update it can be performed with limited work. Unlike our static page competitors we do not have to throw away what you have to extend it later.
• What cost to develop and what cost to run (host)? Quotes must compare the cost of running as well as the cost of developing. Too often quotes are very cheap but charge huge sums to host (run) your Website once developed.
• Can you guarantee a search engine placement? How do you do this? Beware of quotes claiming they can guarantee high search engine placements.  The truth is that no one can guarantee to come up first in Google or any other search engine.  To even come up on the first 50 results is an achievement if the area of your Business is competitive.  We only employ ethical methods to ensure your site will be found.  We have had some great successes doing this for customers and have some coming up first in Google, however this has taken considerable effort and time and was not within a very competitive area.  Ask them how they achieve their results, if they employ unethical methods (banned by Google) you may end up being banned as well.  If this happens you may take years to recover or worse still have to buy a new domain name and start again.  Unethical behaviour such as doorway pages and link lists are not used by WhyNotWebsites, however we achieve creditable results in search engine placement.

In Summary:

The cheapest quote is not generally the best.  It will typically be performed by one person, with little experience, will not be found by search engines easily (if at all) and will provide little benefit to you.  In addition whenever you want to redesign it you will have to pay again to change the appearance or extend it do perform something dynamic like email lists, registering user’s, bookings or what your Business requires.

Compared to paid advertising Websites are cost effective, do you really want a cheap Website or one that effectively serves your customers and promotes your Business?
