Gauteng website design company

Gauteng website design company imagImedia have totally different approach to small business web design. It is our opinion that a low cost website design that gets no results is ipso facto an expensive website. Our focus as a website design company is in fact results from the search engines.

Small business web design is not just creating a website

Here are a few statistics about small business web design for you to take notice of.
  • More than 80% of the web is to all intents and purposes invisible. Literally hundreds of thousands of web sites never appear on the first 10 pages of Google, never mind the first page.
  • 30% of all internet traffic comes via search engines. The big 3 are Google, Yahoo and Bing who together control over 96% of the search engine traffic, Google controls approximately 85% of the cake
  • 68% of searchers will click a first page result on Google, Only 28% will consider going beyond page one. If you are not on page one you have lost the lions share of the value of your web site.
  • There are in excess of 5 million internet users in South Africa as of December 2009, 1 million of whom are using broadband 3G and ADSL

Gauteng web design company focuses on geting results

imagImedia does not build flash websites, We focus on technologies that get results. We code by hand in PHP and HTML. Our website design process is cognisant of the above facts and we optimise in the base code. Every page that is added to a website is carefully considered. Keyword research is undertaken prior to adding any content to a web site. It makes sense to us that if we know what people are looking for, we can tailor our content to their searches.

There are 101 factors that affect your positioning on Google according to web legends. Fact is that many website design companies in Gauteng, in fact in South Africa do not seem to be aware of even the basics. This world wide phenomena is not endemic to Gauteng web design companies, If it were 47% of British companies would not be sorely lacking of even Basic Search Engine Optimization on their web sites.

Our own preliminary research indicates that small business web design in Pretoria, Midrand and other parts of Gauteng suffers even worse than the British scenario. In the first 250 companies we attempted to find on the web 50% don't have a web presence as far as Google is concerned. 70% of those that we could find did not have any Search Engine Optimization on their websites.

Small business web design that works for you

Does this mean that design issues are not considered important by imagImedia? Not at all. In fact we know that a website that does not look professional gets less traffic and a lot less repeat traffic. imagImedia stresses simple, elegant design without any distraction from the message. We believe in giving the surfer information that allows them to make a decision.

In our portfolio we do not give you links to the websites. We tell you what the sites have been optimized for and suggest you use Google to find them. Facts are that if you can find them using Google, you know that we can do the same for you.
