Actually even many corporations would use one of those free wordpress themes for their companies blog with just some slight modifications…and just few months ago BOOM everyone was lurking for a personalized wordpress blog theme. Everyone wanted to stand out from the rest of the fellow bloggers with a unique design that would reflect to their personality.

I have been thinking now and then to get a new blog design for this make money online blog but I just feel really comfortable enough with the current layout I am using (yeah, it is a free wordpress theme so what?) that I don’t even find the hassle to sit down and open photoshop and design me a new layout.

It makes sense tho to hire a company for your website design even tho sometimes prices are just too high, especially if you think that return on investment won’t be that good. Speaking of this I ended up seeing the website designing page of Hosterio.com.

I have to admit I like their layout, actually I love simplicity, even tho they are a hosting company actually they also offer website design services too. The first thing that caught my eyes was their pleasant design, so Ok i thought, it is worth reading maybe I get convinced and hire them to do the work for my lazy self (some times it is harder to design for yourself if you are a designer, rather then designing for a customer).

The page looked nice, well written content and most important the price was really cheap, I quote from their own website

Our website design services starts from as low as USD249 only. With that package you will get a complete website of upto 10 pages with free domain name and web hosting

Intrigued me, it does intrigue you too right? So what should stop me for hiring them? Well there is one thing that stops me from hiring, actually it stops many, I presume, from hiring a website design firm to work on your personal website design if they don’t have a portfolio show case from where I could see the quality of their work (let me remind you, their site already looks nice..but one example is just not enough).

That was the first thing I did notice, the second, being a semantic code maniac, i checked the source code. I think I will better refrain my comments, after all very few are the sites that satisfy me from how the layout is structured and how the elements are being used, but I can’t stop myself repeating to everyone that tables are meant to be used for displaying tabular data, and not structuring the websites layout.

From that, I can tell that there are few things people should and do look at when they are thinking about hiring a website design firm or even a website designer as freelancer, let me name them

• Companies Design
• Read the whole sales letter, it will help you understand a lot about how serious they are.
• Portfolio of previous work, this is a must and inspires/convinced people to hire you even more
• Code structure. Using semantic correct markup? Is the code search engine friendly?

However, I hope the folks at Hosterio.com will read this blog post and will take their time to build a nice portfolio showcase.

It could be hard for some, but there are endless ways to drive visitors to your websites, and if you are one of those but you are eager to have more visitors to your site, generate more sales and make more money online what you need is a search engine optimisation service company and thats exactly what the professionals at Data Dial are doing.

Digital Data is a web site design firm but thats not all what they do, as I mentioned above they also offer search engine optimisation services too and that is a great plus for a design company. You would be amazed to know how many website design companies do not know anything about SEO, and that is so wrong since the website design company is the one that builds your website and minimum knowledge about search engine optimization knowledge is required.

Internet Marketing To Increase Sales

If you already show interest about SEO you cannot miss internet marketing, they walk hand by hand all the way to your online success. Indeed it is impossible to have a company offering seo services and not internet marketing services as well, it would be simply…not serious. The guys at Datadial provide you with internet marketing services as well. Datadial provides you with internet marketing services, manages your Pay Per Click campaigns, analyzing your campaigns and driving targeted traffic to your site that will increase your online sales. In single words, you hire them and just sit watching the money flow from your PPC campaigns (and not only).

E-commerce Software That Will Guide Your Customers to Checkout

In Datadial Ltd’s ECommerce Software page I read something interesting and so true. The percentage of visitors that hit the back button on the last page of the purchase process is pretty high (roughly 60%). There are several reasons why this might happend

• Lack of Call-To-Action checkout page
• Visitors are being distracted from something else
• The checkout button is not infront of your soon-to-be customers nose

DataDial Ltd is as I mentioned is a website design company based in UK with good background on website design, search engine optimisation and internet marketing. All three aspects you would want the company you hire to have knowledge at as all three are so closely connected one to each other and may lead to success (read money) or waste of time (read failure). Each ECommerce website is different from the other one, hence each type of visitors acts differently while browsing a website or while purchasing a product through your ecommerce software, having a company that has experience is this field and knows the type of visitors will certainly help you increase the online sales = make more money online, and from their portfolio you can easily say that DataDial Ltd knows what is up to.
