Web Design in Australia

Does your website perform?

Ours do.

For your website to perform, you need three things to occur:

Traffic

You need qualified traffic directed to your website.

Trust

Your website needs to impart trust upon the visitor.

Conversion

The visitor must be converted into a sale or enquiry.

If your website isn’t working for you, consider these three aspects and use them to analyse your current website.

Perhaps you haven’t yet delved into an online venture; these three factors must be woven into your business plan if you wish success for your website.

cityofcairns.com realises the importance of these issues. Our web design and search engine optimisation services reflect this; hence every one of our clients’ websites are designed, developed and optimised with the traffic, trust and conversion issues in mind.

Traffic

Search Engine Optimisation

cityofcairns.com specialises in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), the process of refining a website to enhance its ranking in search engines. Search engines provide over 85% of traffic to most websites, and without an effective Search Engine Optimisation strategy this traffic is going to your competitors.

Traffic in websites is a general term used to describe anyone who visits your site, and this can be measured in a number of ways. You would have heard statements such as ‘my website receives over 10,000 (insert incredibly large number here) hits per day’ however we prefer to measure traffic in a more accurate, and more fair way by counting unique visitors. Hits will never indicate a site’s marketing is successful, but the number of incoming unique visitors will.

Trust

Aesthetic, Suitable Web Design

Customers don’t return to a business if they feel uneasy about how a business is portrayed. Neither do online shoppers. In fact, since the Internet is a reasonably anonymous place to carry on business and many fraudsters take advantage of this, extra effort is required to convince an online shopper you are a reputable business. Hence, cityofcairns.com designs clean, professional websites, aesthetically suitable to the feel of your business. We’ll even take some liberties.

Rest assured, we work with great care to ensure our web design reflects your business’ image and project it in the best light.

Conversion

Appropriate Copy, Seamless Usability

Conversion determines website profitability. Regardless of how much traffic any website receives, if it fails to offer any incentive to enquire or buy or the visitor decides they aren’t interested, the website is worthless.

cityofcairns.com ensures website copy is positive and conducive to a high conversion ratio. We can arrange an internet business viability analysis for the selling of products or services online, and recommend adjustments to vending models as necessary for a smooth transition online.
