Web Design
Get with the Times!
So we're long past the Y2K bug Era & heading towards the year 2010 in a hurry. A lot has changed since then such as the need for serious businesses to have an online presence. Apart from showing the world that you are serious about what you do, your website works as a full-time promoter for your business. Working 24/7/365 advertising your business, answering your customers' questions and giving them all the information you want them to know about your services. In more advanced scenarios your website can even handle things such as bookings and reservations for you. Instead of waiting until your customers come to you reach out to them with periodic mailings promoting your newest products.
Dynamic Database Driven Websites
Apart from having an online presence there are important factors to consider if you want to encourage visitors. Research has shown that 84% of website visitors are turned off within the first 3 seconds by old content. That's correct, its not the flashy rockets shooting all over your page that attracts your visitors but more importantly the fact that they can log on today & not see a cover story from back in the 90's still talking about Hurricane Luis.
Sadly however once a website is up and running 5 out of 7 sites will remain that way for at least 7 months.
To combat this and keep you out of this bracket, we embed an easy to use content management system into your site making it easy for you to keep your content current. We aren't talking about your typical generic CMS system that lets you post news or other events, we custom build a content management system from the ground up using PHP/MySQL so that it is fully integrated with your website. So that if today you wake up & decide you want to change your welcome message or add a new product, it can all be done in a matter of minutes. With or without the content management system however, 5 Star Solutions will always be here to assist you with changes you need.
Full Online Applications
A promotional website is not where the relationship between your business and the internet has to end. 5 Star Solutions also builds online applications such as online inventory systems, registration systems and reservation systems. Save yourself the complexity of having to manage bookings in your old spiral bound notebook. Make life easier on you & your customers by investing in an online booking system that you can manage anywhere you have an internet connection while allowing your customers to easily view bookings for themselves as well as setup automatic reminders by email.
Still here for the Little Guy
Don't get lost in all this dynamic jargon however as we still have a lot of customers who simply need nothing more than a www.theirservice.com address that points to a static site that serves as an online business card where they can simply make it easy for clients to find their contact information. We all know it's much easier to remember a simple .com address than a 10 digit phone number. So yes Mr. "I don't want a fancy website but I want an online presence", 5 Star Solutions is here for you too!
