However, there is an extra hosting fee cost for this.
(between $30 to $35 a month in total) and this is a standard industry fee.

However, Please let us tell you why you may not want to do this.

Most website firms love building websites for you that you can update yourself because they can charge you more and they do not have to do any of the extra work.

However, If you need a hand with it or need them to help you update it, they will charge you for it. We feel this is unethical.

Why should you be charged a fee for a service they already charge you for?

Also, keep in mind.. How often do you change your website or add content?

If you update it less than 6 times a year you will be paying $40 a month for the privilege.. just in case you need to change it.

However, with OzWebcentre we know that most website owners only want to update their site once or twice a year and most changes can be done in an hour.

OzWeb charges $25 an hour for changes.. so if you update your site once a year it will cost you $25, instead of the $500 you would be paying to other website firms just for a once a year update. Why pay $475 more every single year?

Also, we will not charge you for little changes that take 5 minutes, but the big firms do and they charge $40 an hour plus! even if it is a 5 minute change.

So before you think about how wonderful it would be to update your own site, also think about the fact that you are being charged $500 plus per year for the privilege.

Till next time,

Should you have a website?

Let’s face it.. People are not opening up the yellow pages as much these days to look for a business or service, because they are searching on Google, Bing or Yahoo.

You may say that you get most of your business through the yellow pages and that’s fine, but think of all the business you are missing out on, because people are now searching on the internet for what they want.

Let me paint a picture for you…

Joe buyer is sitting on his computer checking his email
and surfing the internet.
He remembers he needs to get his tooth fixed and is looking for a new dentist. Also his hot water system needs to be looked at.

What does Joe do?

1. He types in Google search – “Dentists in Preston”
He finds a dentist around the corner from him and rings to make an appointment.

2. He types into Google – “Plumbers in Preston”
He finds a good plumber and rings to arrange a time.

This is targeted advertising at its best.

Did he use the yellow pages?

No!

Now the Yellow Pages are an essential part of your advertising budget, but advertising on Google and Yahoo gets your business in front of so many more people.
At the moment you are just letting these customers walk on by and your competitors are getting the customers.

You can even set up an email campaign so when customers come to your website they fill in their email address for you to call them back or even get on your mailing list for special future offers and repeat business.

If you want to talk about your advertising needs then just give us a call and we can discuss this with you.

Till’ next time,

Troy
