If we register a domain on your behalf it will always remain your property. We might be managing the domain for you (while we run your website) - but should you ever choose to move, you can keep your domain and transfer it to a new hosting company. The only thing that might delay such a process is unpaid accounts.
You can choose to do your hosting with any company that you feel is trustworthy and reliable. The only reason why we try to motivate our clients to host with us is because we can upgrade and downgrade your package as needed within seconds. We can activate certain script and language capabilities, increase data transfers and more without increasing your monthly bill. Usually hosting companies charge you for each ad-on, which means if we enable certain functions on your website to make it better, deal with more traffic than expected or speed up the server response time - you will be charged. On our server we can ad what we like and increase your package as your web presence grows - with no hickups!
- We have dedicated servers with 99.9% uptime
- Client Login and Admin Panels for all domains
- Stable Hosting Fees regardless of Business Growth
CMS Website aren't all bad. If you're willing to take the learning curve and have a fine eye for decent layout it should be ok. We have noticed that most companies love the idea at first - but it only lasts for about 3 months. People imagine that they will have time to ad new content daily (which they never do). Eventually CMS website look a bit dodgy, images aren't optimized and sized correctly, links get outdated and the over-all appearance of your website goes out the back door.
We recommend: Let the professionals do it! This also means that you don't really need a CMS, in fact - a well designed website with super clean code will do much better in search engines like google anyway (when done the right way). The other facts to consider are:
- We offer free minor updates - Huge changes will cost you less than R 1000
This is a tough one... but we know the answer
By the time you read this you most likely have about 3 quotes on your desk trying to make sense of it all. Some quotes are high and some are low. The question is: Who really knows what they're doing and are you willing to take the risk?
We at Creative Core have a no-bull policy. We don't try to sell systems that don't really work, we don't download free open source software, install it in 15 minutes & off you go and we don't pretend to be the best in the world. We do however take pride in our work and we follow our objective: which is to get your site to generate as much new business as possible. If your website fails - we fail... and we don't like that idea.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the skillful art/engineering that causes your website to rank high in the search engines like google. For a website to rank for a specific search term it needs to be carefully calculated and planned. It's all about knowing which terms to choose, how to implement it into your content and making sure Google picks up on it. This process is then followed with frequent promotion, marketing and updates to ensure that your site is dynamic and up to date.
SEO is a term that is thrown around by many companies at the moment. They all have the perfect solution and promise you the world. Some even use posters to promote their service (which is rather ironic... because they don't rank well enough online - so they move to print media). The other thing is: We understand that people want to save money, so if someone says: "I will get your site to rank well for R 150/month" it does seem like a bargain. Fact is you are losing that money every month - with no results to show for it.
SEO is an expensive game, but the benefits are remarkable. Organic Google listings are worth more than gold. People trust organic listings more than paid listings, which makes your business very credible. Organic SEO also means that everytime you invest in it, it only gets stronger. Paid listings remove you when your credit is out, organic listings will remain in position and you won't lose to other companies with bigger budgets.
So...who should do your SEO? The answer is simple: someone who can prove that they rank in Google.
