Ideal Web Design or Website Designer Job with iPages.biz
As you can see we are absolutely passionate about website design and websites that work for you, especially those that include ecommerce web designs. What is the point of paying several thousand pounds for a website that is just a brochure on line? In the 21st century the internet and your website is the way forward to promote your business. If you can tell your customers and your prospective clients what you are currently doing in your business for less than a pound a day why don't you? Websites should be updateable by yourself, website design should take into account that businesses are changing and growing, but so many look nice, but do nothing for you. It frustrates us that our clients have paid out hundreds and sometimes thousands of pounds to other web designers and website design companies only to be given a flat website design that looks ok, but cannot be changed and quickly goes out of date. That's why so many of our clients have turned to iPages for their website solution because our website design team can duplicate a site, and can add the functionality of our website package.

What to consider when choosing a Website Package and Website Designer

There are three types of website design flat, dynamic, or a combination of both. A flat website design is a website that has been designed by a web designer page by page. This website design often looks good, but cannot be easily changed. You will probably have to pay your web designer to alter a page on your website. This can prove extremely expensive, but is not something that companies take into consideration when thinking about purchasing a website or looking for a web designer. After all do you want to be paying out vast sums to a web designer or website development company every 2 years or so when your company changes its branding, or adds new services or procucts? Statistics show that web visitors do not regularly return to unchanging sites, and neither do the search engines. Therefore you have a presence on the web, but not one that many people will want to return to, nor will it be one that search engines favour. These things are worth thinking about before you invest in a website design or have a website designer create you a website, especially if you are looking at purchasing an ecommerce web design.

A flat website design also prevents direct interaction with your clients. What if you wish to find out more about your clients? With a flat web design any contact form will not be filled in and sent directly back to you, there will be no guest book where visitors can post comments on your products or services and so this type of website design really is just a brochure on line. This might be the type of website that you wish a web designer to design for you. However, as mentioned this website cannot be easily updated and so will not reflect your changing business.

A dynamic website design allows interaction with your website visitor and with iPages you are in control of your website. Of course our team of website designers will make you a site, or you could use your own web designer, but the website belongs to you and can reflect what you wish it to. Perhaps you think that the idea of putting your own information on the web is a little scary. Perhaps you are afraid that you have to be computer literate to use iPages. This is not the case as our website package is really easy to update using a simple editor. If you can type then you can use iPages. Our web design team can set up the pages so that images are placed where you want and there are simple guides with the website package showing how to upload images, put text in, make links and move pages around. The only thing you really need is time to play with iPages, but even if you don't want to alter your website often, the ability to do so is there if you want to, and no expensive web designer to pay for.

iPages different modules

We want your website to work for you and so with this in mind our website development team have put together a website design package that can make your life easier. We have created a variety of modules that you can add to your website so that your website becomes an essential part of your business. You can allow staff to access the site to let them have control of various areas, or you can restrict who goes where. But if you are interested in getting more from your website than just putting out information on your website then why not consider having the Contacts Management system. This has been developed by our programmers to allow you to keep your finger on the pulse of your business. There is a facility within our website package to add this module and maintain records of all your dealings with customers, contractors etc. By keeping records of phone calls, emails sent and received etc. you can see what has been done and by whom and have information about a client available at a click of a button. This part of our website is an invaluable tool for many of our clients.

In addition you might want to think about selling on line. We have a separate website that deals with the area of ecommerce called easysellingonline.co.uk Internet sales are now on the increase and ecommerce is big business. Can you afford to be left behind or do you need a website design that looks good and can offer a shop(ecommerce) facility, with full back office support? iPages has included an ecommerce package as one of its modules. This ecommerce package affords 24/7 selling, from orders, to invoices, to dispatch and delivery. It covers all the accounts, including credit notes. The ecommerce web design can be purchased from as little as £40pcm and is amazing value because there is no large development fee, as is often the case with ecommerce web design. Your ecommerce shop could be up and running within a month with our iPages ecommerce website design package which allows you to design the shop yourself (our website design team are on hand to help you through this if you need help) and start selling your products on line. Ecommerce has never been easier than with iPages ecommerce website design module.
