LIVE LINK WEBSITES SERVICES
Sensible Easy to Navigate Design
Our philosophy on design is:
- Simplicity
- Intuitive, Logical Navigation
- Clean Design
- Informative Content
- Fast loading pages
- 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 and zipping website files and burning them to a CD.
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 including a Google XML sitemap file. 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'.
There are conflicting opinions about Google Adwords and it's effectiveness.
- Adwords should be used if you want to get your site 'findable' in the shortest possible time or if the saturation of competing sites listed in the general rankings is very high with established websites. However, your Adword bid will be very high as you will still be competing with many others.
- The ROI (Return on Investment) costs can be very, very high.
- Adwords sponsored links are often treated with suspicion because many entries don't take you where you want to go!
- In the long term it is more effective and cheaper to ensure your website is always up to date with accurate information and SEO to improve your real ranking.
Google Adwords Management Packages
Although you can set up and manage your own account, Google Adwords can be very expensive and wasteful without professional advice and constant monitoring.
How do we differ from Accredited Google Adword managers?
- Our aim is to get you the highest ranking and results for the least amount of money.
- Accredited managers have the same aim but it's in their interest to make your payments as high as possible.

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 (I.E. or Firefox etc.).
Updatable sites also keep Google coming back to reassess your website content.
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.

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

-
Design
-
Developer/Support
RELIABLE CUSTOMER SUPPORT was considered most important by visitors who currently owned websites.
Support wasn't considered important by first time site builders... beware.
