What we offer:
"We know this one man band that comes well recommended."
Ok, so we are on the cusp of "one man band", but the proof
is in the pudding. For years now, our consultancy based, "web
sites is what we do" approach has paid dividends to our clients.
We bring broad experiences in Business, management, marketing, sales,
getting a product delivered, professionalism, IT skills together
with an off road tested, all terrain, proven development process...
And not just for the initial project, but we look to nurture the
relationship created with our clients into one of
trust, as the fruits of our efforts become increasingly important
to our client. We pledge too, at all times, keep our clients goals
as our own, charge fairly for our work, and be respectful of the
opportunity that we have been given by our clients.

What they offer:
"We are thinking of using our
nephew, Jimmy. He is really smart and developed
a site for his mate's band."
We have heard of this one so many times. We must caution about
choosing a young family member to produce a web site for business. While the
little tike may have a good handle on using the design software, and has probably
produced some impressive looking results, he will need a lot of guidance
and pressure to produce something that is going to work with your business. To
make
matters
worse,
what
happens if he is kept in after school and something needs urgent attention in
the web site. :-)

"We've been to see the big web design companies
in town and wow, we are really impressed with the sites
they showed us (and their brightly coloured offices)"
There is no doubt that most of the big web design
companies are more than capable of producing some startlingly
good web sites, but will your project get the correct
amount of attention? Will the project get bogged down
in 'process'? Will you have a single point of contact
throughout the web
site
project?
Who
are the
members of the development team and what guarantees have
you got that they will be working on your site for the
entire life of the project?
Suffice, if you have confidence in them and feel that their creditials are true,
then go for it!

"Our Ad Agency is wants to package the web site
as part of their complete offering."
We often find ourselves quoting against Ad Agencies and print media design
houses and we don't mind. They have a solid point that their ad work and branding
should
be integrated with online efforts. We could not agree more. What we often find
though, is that their web site projects are outsourced, or left in the hands
of contract labour... and that can be a little unnerving. We must go to say that
we have worked with Ad Agencies in the past to bring their concepts and creativity
to life on the Internet for our common client. Further more, our abilities to
integrate programmed functions (custom or otherwise) takes the web site to a
high place "doing" wise, that the Ad Agencies typically aren't interested
in. That stuff is in the "too hard basket" for them.

"We have been approached by a large telco, Internet
Service Provider or media company."
What else can we say but, "Thank you, come again". We bet that you
will find it hard to feel special as their "highly commissioned" sales person,
or
tele sales rep tries to make you feel special as he/she tries to fit a cookie
cutter, "Content
Management System" over the top of your business. You may also find that
the unique things about your product, service or business process can't
be bought to life in their solution.

"Our IT supplier wants a crack at it."
So web design is not their core business eh?
You can bet there will be a new server as part of the
project... Building web sites is not about where
to host it, but what the site has to achieve! In our
opinion,
90% of the costs of the project should be consumed by
the development and marketing process, not the hardware!
