Small Business Websites

Portz Interactive is a website design and hosting company located in Melbourne Australia. We specialise in designing great looking affordable websites for small business and self employed people.

Our websites development follows a 5 step process

Step One - Website Requirements and Specification

Following an initial meeting to discuss the functionality and look and feel of the site, a detailed specification and costing proposal is presented to your review, feedback and agreement. The website address (www.yourbusiness.com.au) is registered and a holding page set up on the Internet with basic details about your business.

Stage Two - Website Design

A set of different designs are created for your review. These drafts are intended to define the 'look and feel' of the website. The look of a website is subject to your individual preferences and personal taste which changes from business to business. The initial set of designs is intended to identify features which may then be refined into an acceptable design. Understandably, every business has their own approach; some business owners have a very clear idea on how their website should look, whilst others are completely open to suggestion and happy to see what our designers put together. The price includes two rounds of design, which is generally adequate for most businesses.

During the development stage, we also discuss the website content, the rate at which the content will change, how changes will be implemented and the format of the email addresses (name@yourbusiness.com.au)

Stage Three - Website Development

When an acceptable design has been agreed, the functionality is added; the system is tested and optimised for search engines. At this point it is 'released' onto the desired web address and made available on the Internet.

Stage Four - Search Engine Submission

After identification and analysis of competitors' websites, appropriate search keywords are researched and agreed, so that the website will achieve a reasonable position in the search engines for these keywords.

Stage Five - Marketing and Review

We will provide advice on your online marketing and can manage campaigns in search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN. Portz Interactive will assist your business with Adwords or sponsored links in along with other web site promotional ideas such as online newsletters.

Our web site solutions for small business take care of everything for you. Portz Interactive offers a full service for small business.
