www.ipage.co.ke
Many a times you might have wondered what it takes for a business or individual to have a website set up and running.

Today i am going to give you the breakdown of what it takes to have a website. I will take the approach of someone who wants to make their own website though they lack any knowledge of what they need to achieve their goals.
 Lets go:

1.Domain Name

A domain name is the name of your website. It is also called the root URL (Uniform Resource Locator). An example is www.ipage.co.ke or google.com. A domain name has two main parts. The first part which is the actual name is created by the owner of the website e.g ipage. the second part comes with a dot before it and is called the extension. There are quite a number of extension that one can have. The most famous one is .com. The extension differs from country to country and also depending on the nature of the website. a .org is best fitted for an organization .co.ke is best suited for a company in Kenya.

A domain name is a paid services and is renewable every year. It costs between $15-$30 per year. Companies selling domain name are referred to as domain registrars.

2. Web Hosting

Web hosting is also a paid services offered by web hosting companies. A web host is a computer that is on for 24 hours a day and is connected to high speed internet. The computer stores all information including pages, text and images the a visitor see and reads on your website through a web browser. 
The amount one pays for hosting depends on the amount of server space that one buys. The space is sold in Giga Bytes (Gb). An average web hosting plan would cost about $25 Annually.

3.Web development Software

There are a large number of web design software available in the market today. Some of the software are free while others need licensing. A web development software will enable you to design and develop all you web pages. These pages are then to be transferred to the hosting computer and therefore they will be available on the internet. 
The software one uses does not matter since most of them will give a similar final product.
Today most free web development software are readily available from the hosing computer. Such on-line software are called Content Management Systems (CMS). The most commonly used CMS include wordpress, Joomla and drupal.

4. A computer

This is most obvious that for you to develop a web page you will need a computer. This is however not a necessity nowadays since, if you are using  a content management system, then all you need is an internet enabled device that ha text editing capability. this could be your smart phone, tablet or laptop.

5.Content

You will need to have the content that you want to publish online. A website will have text, images , videos, downloadable documents and sound files.  All information published on a website will for the web content.

In my next article we are going to talk about the web development languages that web designers use to create webpages.

WHAT A GOOD WEBSITE SHOULD HAVE, HOW TO DESIGN A WEBSITE

Do you have a website for your business? Have you ever considered rating your website? Just what does your website say about you,your business or services?

A good website is not just a beautifully designed website that is good to look at. A website should have at least the following features to make it captivating to any visitor:

Home Page


The home page is the first page that loads once a visitor types your website URL (uniform resource locator) on the address bar of the browser. an example is www.ipage.co.ke When you click on this link, the first page that you see is the home page.
A good website should have a nice,attractive and informative home page. On the home page be sure to capture the business that the website is design to promote online. A web designer should always consider publishing a summary of the entire website on the home page.

It should also contain a well displayed menu to link to other pages within the website. The menu is the general structure of the website and it contains leads to relevant informative pages within the website.

About Us

A good website should always contain an About/About Us page. Web design is meant to give a business an online presence and therefore should contain information about the company/business line of operation. An about us page gives a historical overview of the business/company/organization/institution. It also describes the vision and mission of the company.

Contact Us

Always ensure that the contact details on this page are accurate. To make it easier, have a contact form on your website to encourage visitors to leave their messages from your website. This ensures that you get emails from any visitor interested in giving their suggestions or comments.

7 Reasons Why your Business Needs A Website

By the time you are done reading this, am sure you will think of having a website for your business. Kindly contact me Paul: +254720078029 or pmihango@gmail.com to develop an executive website at an affordable price
  • Don't let your competition take over your position! Most companies today use internet to search for suppliers. In case you don't own a web presentation, but your competition does, your competitor gains a competitive advantage and is likely to take over your business. Therefore, you should not wait any longer. You should become the one, whose internet presentation reaches new customers..
  • Customers will find you on the internet. Majority of customers use internet to look for services and products. Internet serves as a tool for finding proper seller, who meets all buyer's expectations - whether it's price, quality or other criteria. Thus the buyer saves time and travel expenses, which he/she would otherwise spend using an ordinary way of obtaining information through company visits, viewing and comparing products / services. Quality internet presentation saves customers' time and makes their searching and shopping experience more enjoyable..
  • It takes certain time to reach first positions in search engine results. Displaying web presentations on the top positions in search results is important for your business - it brings new visitors to your website, without additional costs incurred for advertising and promotion.
    However, your web presentation will not reach first position overnight. It usually takes two or three months until your website (if it's properly optimized for search engines) starts scoring high in the search results. Therefore, do not wait too long and invest in a professional web presentation soon
  • Your friends can promote your business. The best way to spread information these days, is using internet. Complete information about your company is displayed on your website. If your friend or a good customer wants to recommend your company, the only thing they need to remember is the name of your website, which can be then easily distributed to their friends... Save your time and time of your willing customers. Web site is your best business card!.
  • Website is cost-effective. Increasing number of customers contacting you through your website and low operating expenses are far more cost-effective than traditional means  e.g., contacting customer personally or participating on exhibitions.
    Considering the return on investment (the costs invested into development of a high quality web presentations, less the profit your new website will generate), you will realize, that investing into the development of a professional website is very profitable (not only in a long run)..
  • Product catalog on a website. There is no need to print your product catalog in form of brochure. All you need is to place it on your website. Its content is always current, well organized, allowing you to cut on brochure printing costs and expenses related to distributing it to your customers. Customer will be able to find a product on your website much faster. It also allows you to make rapid changes in the product information..
  • Company presentation. What is equally important, web presentation builds the best and the most coherent image about your company. You do not need to visit a company or call the secretary to get an idea about a company. We design your website so that visitor receives a positive impression about your company and he/she will contact you.

What makes a great business website?


A great business website should....

A good website has great content, is regularly updated, intuitive, easy to use, and, ideally, has a good visitor-customer conversion rate. However, many businesses struggle to build and maintain a successful website, because they lack the knowledge required.
The following tips can help you make your website work harder to win new customers, while maintaining your current client base.

Need a website for your business? It does not matter what you business is, I will develop a fully customized website in 3 working days…..contact me 
Paul: 0720078029 
email: pmihango@gmail.com

 


Why you need a great website.

Your website should sell to your ideal customer
I've heard that the most profitable swimming pool maintenance company in America is not run by a ruthless, corporate company, but by an unassuming guy who answered every conceivable question that his target customers had about swimming pool maintenance on his website's FAQ page.
It's a great strategy and one that every business should deploy for their website. Web visitors are primarily hunters. They hunt for information, and if you don't give them what they need, they'll go elsewhere.
By putting yourself in your potential customers' shoes and answering every question they could possibly have about your product or service, you put them at ease, build up trust in your brand and set up yourself as the expert in your field. That will help you win customers, and, I believe, is more effective than the blatant BUY! BUY! BUY! tactics deployed on some business websites. Nobody likes the hard sell, so why scare away your potential customers by using such tactics?
Optimize your website for search engines
The greatest website in the world is no good to anyone if it can't be found.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing your website so that it comes up in search engine results for certain keywords. The better optimized your website is, the higher up your search engine ranking will be.
Here are some easy – and free – steps you can take to optimize your website so that it shows up in search engine rankings for your targetcustomers.
Navigation and usability matter – keep it simple
Bad navigation and information architecture (the way you structure your content) can cost you in lost sales. So keep it simple and intuitive – it works.
Online is great, but website visitors like humans too
Ultimately, your customers are human, not virtual, so make sure your contact details are clearly visible on every page of your website

Why your business needs a website


Reasons Why Your Business Needs a Website

Before i tell you why you need a website for your business, let me say that i am a web designer and if these ten reasons will convince you to set up a website i will be there for you to offer the best


 1. Your Business is Open to the World 24/7, 365 Days a Year
Unlike your company's office that may be open from 8-5, Monday through Friday, your company 's website is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are many different time zones that may affect your business, which is why being on the web makes it time convenient for everyone.

2. It's Your Online Brochure / Catalog That Can Be Changed at Anytime
A website is easier, cheaper and quicker to update than print material. Its' capacities are almost limitless which allow you to provide users with more comprehensive information. This will save you money on printing and distribution costs as well.

3. Reach New Markets with a Global Audience
On the Internet, you aren't that local little business any more. You have the potential to be seen by millions across the globe. Did you ever think your company would have the possibility of doing business around the world? Well, now you can. Without a doubt, the Internet is the most cost effective way to trade nationally and internationally.

4. Improved Customer Service
By providing answers to questions on your website, sales and information requests can be processed automatically and immediately, whether someone is in the office or not. Online forms can be used to allow customers to request quotations or ask further information. Save costs by allowing users to download invoices, proposals and important documents.

5. Present a Professional Image
For a small business, a well-designed web site is a great way of instilling confidence and looking bigger than you actually are. In this day in age, customers assume that you already have a website. By now, your primary competitors probably already have a presence on the Internet. If they do, keep up with them and find ways to make yours better.

6. Sell Your Products
Why pay expensive rent, overhead, electric bills, and all the other costs that go along with owning a bricks-n-mortar business? Selling in cyberspace is much cheaper and a good way to supplement your offline business. Providing secure online ordering is very affordable for even the smallest businesses.

7. Promote Your Services
Lawyers, doctors, financial consultants, entertainers, realtors and all service oriented businesses should let customers know that they have a choice. Millions of users are referring to the web and are using company's websites to make major decisions when they need a specialized service.

8. Gather Information and Generate Valuable Leads
You can gather information about your customers and potential customers by using forms and surveys. Rather than going out and getting leads, let them come to you. This is a great tool for prospecting targeted customers looking to use your products and services.

9. Provides Instant Gratification
People are busy and don't like to wait for information. Give them what they want, when they want it. If your product is suitable, offer them free samples or trials to download. This includes pictures, brochures, software, videos, Power Point slides, music and more.

10. Great Recruiting Tool
Whether you are looking for talent or posting job opportunities with your company, your website is a great recruiting tool for building your business.

Website Designer and Developer


Web development in Kenya has in the recent past become a lucrative business. The demand for corporate, business or personal websites has been rising steadily. This can be attributed to the generation we are living, which is going online in almost every aspect of life. We are using online platforms to socialize, work, and hold meetings as well as buying services and products. The roll out of 3G mobile networks and the fibre optic cables has increased the speed of internet data transfer in most parts of Kenya hence the need to have a website for your business.
There are a number of web developers in Kenya. Majority of web design companies are based in Nairobi. One such company is IPage Limited. It is a well established web design and development private limited company. IPage has highly qualified web developers thus preferred by many companies and private business owners to design and develop websites for their businesses. Not only do they offer unique and high quality web designs in Kenya but also ensure that the clients have their need for a website met beyond their expectation.

They help in the web content development in cases where the client is not very sure or has little content for their website. The content developed by IPage designers also contributes to the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) of your website. Don’t mind if you don’t know what SEO means, I will have an article on the same on this blog soon.

 Content management system

IPage web designers are proficient in a number of web development platforms commonly known as content management systems. Such platforms enable the web developer to create the website layouts and later input the content within the layout. The most common web content management systems include Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal, Magento and many others. We shall focus on these systems at a later article. I intend to write about every one of them in details and show you the pros and cons of each.

A professional web developer should be conversant with as many content management systems as possible. This will give them extra ordinary prowess in the field of website design in that one can use any of the systems to meet the clients’ requirements. A good example is when a web designer is developing a website for posting publications; the best content management system to go for is wordpress, not only is it easy for the users to handle and upload articles for online publications of say the latest news but also has excellent themes for article publicizing.
A good CMS allows one to update the website even if they have little knowledge in web development.
