The project took approximately 2 Months to complete, although it was not a full time project and was built in conjunction with three other projects 

Be careful who you hire though. A poorly designed website can cost you money, drive away customers and hurt your reputation. Follow a few basic steps to increase your odds of hiring a creative, technically savvy and cost-effective design firm.

Assess your needs.

You can hire contractors to create, implement and maintain your site. If your site will serve only as an online brochure, consider outsourcing the creation and implementation, while handling future maintenance -- like fixing broken links -- in-house. Be realistic about your own goals and growth plans so you know whether to hire a long-term or a short-term contractor.

Research each candidate's work.

It's essential that you research a web developer's work so you can evaluate their potential. Once you've found a few developers you like -- through recommendations, web directories or competitors' sites -- evaluate their online portfolios and fees. A site doesn't have to be flashy to do its job, but you must appreciate the developer's design sense and the functionality of their sites. Also, consider hiring a firm familiar with your particular industry. Take serious note of how many of their sites have not yet been completed, eg. many pages that display; 'This page is under construction', etc.!

Evaluate their services.

Decide if the developer meets your needs. If you want to sell your products online, look for proven e-commerce experience. If you're considering a 'single-person' firm, does the developer have the skills necessary to create everything you need? On the other hand, will you get lost in the shuffle at a larger firm with lots of other clients? Determine what extras the firm offers, such as copy-writing, marketing, graphic design and other services.

Meet face-to-face.

Your web design firm, whether a 'single-person' shop or a multinational company, is going to present your web persona to the world. You must be able to work collaboratively.

Ask yourself these questions and rely on your gut reaction:

* Do they listen to my needs?
* Do they explain issues in ways I can understand?
* Do they know my industry?
* Do they share my vision for the site?

Check references.

Browsing the web company's work is helpful, but you also want to know how they work. A web design firm can be the most creative in the world, but if it never finishes your site, it won't do you much good. Call past clients and ask if the design firm:

• Adhered to deadlines.
• Met their requests.
• Was responsive to suggestions and questions.
• Fixed problems promptly.
• Where available to take or return phone call.
• Worked within the original budget.

Think ahead. Over the past year, hundreds of web design firms of all sizes have merged, cut back their operations or simply closed. Although it's impossible to know for sure whether or not a firm will be around in the future, you have a right to ask questions if you expect to build a long-term relationship. You should also ask whether a design firm will accept payment in stages or whether they'll demand most of their payment up front. Firms that aren't willing to link payment to their own ability to deliver might not be worth the risk you'll take to deal with them ...

I guess we all know that...

Statistics from several sources have shown that people are using various types of mobile devices to browse the web. I suppose the main thrust in increased mobile usage for web browsing has come after the launch of iPhone. Why? Because when it comes to mobile browsing, the iPhone is way better than other devices. And we say this from studying the numbers ...

What is important is that your website must be able to accommodate these web-surfers. In the next ten years it is predicted that approx 50% of internet surfers will be doing it using their mobile handsets. The development of handsets and mobile browsers is a huge industry and will grow even more in the next couple of years.

When we at BloemSBN design and setup your website, we are equipped to also setup a mobile version of your site, and there are various ways of doing that, however the most important issue is that you have the option with BloemSBN to order your mobile-website with your normal website, and be sure to capture the MOBILE traffic as well!

Dear Stephen

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done to assist me in setting up my website www.wigworld.co.za for my new business.

For a long time I had a dream of starting my own wig business and obviously in the modern day and age a website is an excellent marketing tool. Fortunately it has also become a convenient way of purchasing products all over the world without leaving one's home.

When I made the decision to actually realise my dream, I approached a company to assist me with the design and hosting of the website. I was struck by the costs involved when setting up and hosting a website and was quite confused about the actual processes of what would be expected of me and also what the hosting company would be offering me.

When I approached you I experience the complete opposite as your tariffs are more than reasonable, you explained to me exactly what is expected of me and what you will be offering as the web designer.

You have been immensely patient and supportive and your design ideas and suggestions have made the website what it is — attractive, detailed and user friendly. The training you provided was detailed, but still on a level that a novice like me could understand.

Thank you for the wonderful service that you have and still are rendering and for being part of realising my dream!

Warm regards

Ina van As

stands for ‘Really Simple Syndication”. It’s syndication that’s really simple. Understood? No? Of course there is slightly more to it than its name might suggest, but in essence what RSS provides is a one stop shop for all your favorite news, tweets and blog content.
RSS is a shortcut method of trawling through all the numerous blogs, magazines and other websites you visit on a daily basis, and collecting the most recent material. RSS feeds place this info in a single location that you can browse at your leisure. Instead of you going to the news, the news comes to you.

These RSS feeds allow users to subscribe to their favorite news sites and have all of their headlines assembled in one place. This is achieved using an RSS Reader, which is the sole location where all subscriptions are sent. Popular online readers include My Yahoo!, Bloglines or Google Reader. These services are typically free and easy to access; simply open an account, provide an email address and you’re all set.

The process to add a subscription to your reader is also very straightforward. Simply subscribing to a site will have all of its new content sent to your reader. Most sites have an easy to locate RSS button (which looks like this)that will easily integrate their news feed into your chosen reader. Simply click the link to subscribe, and your reader will automatically update every time that site puts out a new piece of content.
From an online marketing perspective this technology can prove helpful, especially if one has a company (or personal) blog. Setting up an RSS feed with the blog will help drive traffic to the website and other sites may copy your articles and post them on their own blogs, which will provide useful backlinks that benefit your website’s search engine placement.
With uses ranging from simple news monitoring and information gathering to research and archiving, RSS feeds are a flexible and simple way to gather information on any topic that you may be interested in. Whether you use them to draw attention to your own site, or to monitor the output of another, RSS feeds can be utilized and enjoyed by internet users of all sorts.
