Why Do I need a website?

The Internet is a very powerful medium promoting your service 24 hours per day accessible to customers not only at their place of work but also in their homes. You can be assured some of your competitors will have websites advertising their services on the internet.

If you are a business start up your budget may be tight and need to look for an affordable website design and hosting service, that gets your products or service to a wide audience.

There are many web design companies and do it yourself options to create your web presence. Many companies dont know where to start when it comes to the technical knowledge required to design a good website.

Moreover, company owners don’t have time to “do it themselves” and in some cases have no idea who to go to, or even if they need a website.

Like a good company Logo, your website says something about your company and needs to look professional, not a hastily created site that looks “home made”.

Your website can be as simple as a 3 page one which has the main information needed to promote your business, some background information and your contact details.

If you have many services you may need a larger site with many different features, eg a database, Social Media links and many other possible extras. The list goes on.

You should have a clear idea of what you want your site to do. If you tackle it just like you would you Business Plan, you can give the web designer an overview of your goals and aims for the future. You should also be prepared to provide the majority of text for the various pages, as well as some images, including your logo (if you have one).

In summary then: Consumers today expect businesses to have a website. Therefore if you do not have a website you will almost certainly be missing out on potential new custom and may even lose existing customers to businesses who are represented on the internet. How your service is perceived is vital. A well designed website can create a positive perception of your business, instilling confidence, credibility, and looking very professional.

Automatic Backlinks

www.automaticbacklinks.com is a great service for webmasters. Since using the backlinks all my clients site ratings have improved considerably. So much so that it is a “no brainer”  when needing a tool that works for delivering real SEO results. I highly rate @AutoBacklinks.

I have tried various similar tools over more than 15 years as a website designer none of which have delivered results, or has been as effective and as easy to set up and use as Automatic Backlinks.

I have used their service for several years now and they always prove to be helpful; if you have any issues or cannot get something to work; also their design and interface has been modernised over time as well as keeping pace with Google’s ever changing rules and algorithms. Their relatively recent inclusion of mozRank is a great innovation to assist in getting a good picture of a sites real ranking. With Google’s slow updates to sites rankings, sometimes more that every 6 months, it is difficult to get a proper and real perspective on how good a site really is in the eyes of the search engines (at least the important ones). As an Automatic Backlinks user it is important to know what links are on my own sites generated by Automatic Backlinks system and that they are as highly ranked as they seem at first glance. The introduction of mozRank does give me as a webmaster, confidence that my links and backlinks are of good quality are “White Hat” for SEO and that any bogus sites will get weeded out.

Try Automatic Backlinks  yourself today by visiting their site. Its free to join. www.automaticbacklinks.com. You’ll be glad you did.

Western Coat of Arms

http://www.maximiliangenealogy.org.uk

This site has been online as Maximilian Genealogy since 1995 and has had over one million visitors from around the World.

There are FREE database’s, including my Master Database 2000, which has over 40000 individuals with connections to people from Europe,(including France, Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Russia) plus USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand & many others. All this information will assist you to trace your ancestors. Coat of Arms, Henry VIII, Burkes Peerage, Royal & the Famous are just a few of the many features in this site.

There are many families in the family databases on this site, some small but many large ones.

This site has been in existence for over 18 years. It has undergone several changes and modernisation. In between looking after my own sites I have created many other sites using many of the new tools available now. I have now started the process of completely rewriting my site and this new page and menu format is part of the new look. Please keep coming back as more will be added / changed over the coming weeks / months. I thank all my visitors and subscribers for their continued support.

I recently found long lost relatives in New Zealand and Canada as a direct result of putting my tree on the Internet.. You could do the same, or I could do it for you.
