Revolutionizing Web Designs In Three Steps

You may think hiring professional web designers would be expensive—from the development process to after care maintenance most of the time, you would be right. But the New Zealand-based website company, 123 Online, aims to change all that.

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, January 20, 2011

You may think hiring professional web designers would be expensive—from the development process to after care maintenance most of the time, you would be right. But the New Zealand-based website company, 123 Online, aims to change all that.

Staying true to its tag "websites ... easy as 123," the company finds success because of three reasons: quick delivery, affordability and low maintenance. Relying mostly on quality of work and word-of-mouth advertisement during the initial run of its operation, the company has managed to complete over 400 websites for satisfied customers in just three years after its launch.

What the company is doing is revolutionize the industry in New Zealand, which is actually to help its clients save their money by allowing them to update their own websites using their own staff. That means the relationship between the web design company and their clients, if all goes well, ends when the website is up and running, says Justin Lanigan, Web Design Sales Director.

He adds: "Our customers all want high quality websites, but they don't have huge budgets. They want their website design to be published online easily, and they don't have time to learn new skills or go through hours of expensive consultation."

Mr. Lanigan said when they put up the company, it has always been in the vision to make a real difference to the way small New Zealand businesses approach marketing and the Internet.

It is for this reason that 123 Online (http://www.123online.co.nz) is taking great pains to make the website design process very easy for its clients to follow by stripping all the computer language and jargons, showing them instead hundreds of "templates" which can be tweaked and reconfigured according to the client's requirements.

Just like what client Rebecca Gray (www.rebeccagraydance.co.nz) says: "My experience with 123 online has been exceptional. The staff are great to deal with and extremely accommodating and the website process itself is really easy and fast."

"They have created my website to my exact requirements and given me guidance in the areas they thought necessary. My website looks professional and the best part about it is how easy it is to upload the content yourself. I highly recommend 123 online to anyone looking at getting a website designed."

The process is indeed as easy as one, two, and three.

First, the web company meets with the business to understand what its demands and requirements are, the company logo, the number of web pages and what market the website is geared toward.

Mr. Lanigan explains: "To create a website for you, we'll get back to you with some web design templates. Your preferred website design will be customized to your specifications, creating a web design to fit your requirements," he explains.

Using the company's content management system (CMS), the web pages are loaded to the website and that provides an easy platform for the client to update the website on his or her own, without needing to hire professional website designers to do the task.
