Web Design - What you need to know

What We Do...

We offer professional web site design and Australian based web hosting services. Our bottom up approach to web page design ensures that your business information is presented in a simple and uncluttered fashion. Visit our showcase for examples.

There are four steps in operating a successful website...

  1. Website Design. Together with your input we can create the website with a look and feel that represents your business. All our designs are SEO.
  2. Hosting. Once the website has been designed, we then need a place in cyberspace to publish it. The website is "hosted" on a fast datacentre server that is constantly connected to the Internet and capable of dealing with a high volume of traffic.
  3. Maintenance. Maintenance of both your website and server is required to keep things up-to-date and running smooth. Not only will your website content require updates to reflect your growing business, security updates are also required to prevent hackers from interfering with your site.
  4. Marketing. In addition to good SEO, getting high rankings in the search engines and attracting paying customers to your site requires some internet marketing know how. Keep in mind a website is only part of a marketing campaign, you will still need to encourage visitors to find your website via other media. We can show you how to cross link your site, how to premote your web address in your branding, and we can setup paid advertising of your business through the Internet.

Website Design Package

We can create a basic Website starting at $800 to include:

  • Home page design
  • Domain name registration (ie: www.yoursite.com.au)
  • Email alias setup (ie: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )
  • Web hosting first time setup
  • Search Engine optimisation and registration

Additional features can be tailor made to suit your specific requirements at an additional cost...

Website Maintenance, Hosting and Setup Packages

All websites require Maintenenace, Hosting and continuous administration. Web pages and email alias require updating, data will require backing up, and generally the website will require security updates to avoid the dubious activity by hackers and spammers. In addition, Datacentre costs and Domain Registration require ongoing payment.

If you don't manage and host your site correctly, you can risk loosing your domain, data, emails or risk losing potential customers.

In addition, a healty website requires new content regularly to keep visitors interested and to keep the content accurate and up-to-date.

Our Maintenance and Hosting Packages takes this burden away from you. We can handle all aspects of managing the website so you can concentrate on running your business.

Unlike other hosting offers available, we prefer Australian Based web hosting for fast response. We include all fees including registration, email forwarding, domain forwarding, anti-spam, email accounts, and associated setups.

Why are we are different from a Web Hosting Wholesaler?

  • We provide additional Web Design time to update your pages each month. (Budget package excluded)

  • We provide complex and custom coding that is integrated with our web hosting and not normally provided by other hosts. The hosting we offer provides everything needed for our websites - no extra charges.

  • We regularly apply security updates to your behind-the-scenes applications.

  • We set everything up and customise the hosting to suit your needs (you don't need to do a thing)

  • We treat every customer individually, because every customer has different needs. We can do this because we keep a small customer base, we don't bulk sell.

  • Web Hosting wholesalers don't maintain your website (they leave that up to you).

Why are we are different from a Sign Writer, Printer or Graphic designer?

  • BottomUp Webdesign staff are IT based people with training and experience in setting up and operating webservers, email servers and SQL servers.
  • We have the experience in SEO (Search Engine Optinmisation). Your webpage needs to be designed for search engine listing in mind - to make it easier to find.
  • We provide additional features like Email Harvesting protection.
  • We have the skills to carry out scripting, ecommerce and payment gateways - taking your site to the next level.
  • Webdesign and IT is what we do for a living. (We don't run a printing press).
