sensible Easy to Navigate design

Our philosophy on design is:

      • Simplicity
      • Intuitive, Logical Navigation
      • Clean Design
      • Useful Content
      • NO Splash pages if possible - 80% of web users skip animated splash pages but some clients insist on having them.
fixed quote

Once a price is accepted by the client the price for the agreed services is FIXED. No nasty surprises.

Ownership

All files, copyright and services held or managed by Live Link on behalf of the client remain the property of the client and can be requested at any time for no additional fee when fully paid apart from compiling websfiles files and burning a CD ROM.

client participation

Live Link clients are encouraged to participate in the process of building an effective site. A ‘virtual proof’ is loaded onto our staging server so that clients can offer their input as the site progresses. YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT NOT WHAT WE SAY YOU CAN HAVE!

Search engine optimisation

All Live Link websites are ‘optimised’ and submitted to the major search engines.
The content, meta tags (Coding visible to some search engines) and page names and content are carefully balanced for the best position using selected ‘key phrases’.

Client updatable pages keep visitors coming back

Most websites can benefit by having an updatable page/s that can be used to announce special offers, events or news. Clients can update them any time from any computer just using a browser (Explorer)

customer support

Unfortunately websites are stored on computers and everyone knows that computers crash at some stage. This can result in missing files or in some cases whole websites. When disasters like this happen we fix the problem at OUR expense as quickly as possible.

shopping carts and ecommerce

Client updatable shopping carts with secure payment facilities can be added to any website.

statistics - who has been visiting your site?

Our hosting company provides comprehensive statistics about the behaviour of visitors to your site. For example you can see what pages were viewed in order of popularity, how many individual visitors you had, what key words were used to access your site and more. All displayed by month in graphical form.

additional Live Link services
Photography -

The weak link in many 'smaller' websites is 'amateur' photographs. A picture is worth a thousand words ... but it’s useless if it’s out of focus.

Virtual Tours & Panoramas - these are ideal for tourism or real estate and can be added to existing websites or integrated into new ones.

Search Engine Optimisation - many website owners are paying thousands of dollars for search engine registration. Some of the engines are charging US $295 to review a submission, but this doesn't guarantee placement.

You will receive e-mails for a number of schemes for increasing your position. Unfortunately, many of these are 'scams' and the only placement will be your money into someone else’s bank.

The best and cheapest way is to have us optimise your website for the most efficient cataloging by search engines and embark on a campaign of worthwhile content, regular resubmissions, fine tuning and reciprocal links to and from complementary sites.

A recent Live Link survey asked first time web clients to list development steps in order of importance. The results were:

  • Domain Name
  • Planning
  • Content
  • Design
  • Developer/Support

RELIABLE CUSTOMER SUPPORT was considered most important by visitors who currently owned websites.

This wasn't considered important by first time site builders...beware.
