We have a dedicated website services team offering hosting, web design, and SEO. These services can be provided on their own or as part of a package. More businesses are now understanding that SEO, optimising your website to be higher in the listings within search engines, can deliver real benefits in terms of new visitors, leads, enquiries and sales.

When looking for SEO you may find that there are companies advertising fixed price "one size fits all" packages. We don't operate like this as there are too many variables involved. For instance the code behind your current website, the competitiveness of your sector, the keywords and keyphrases you would like to appear higher for. All of these determine how much work and time will be needed in order to achieve results.

You may also find companies offering "guaranteed" placements and results. This might be achieved via a pay-per-click campaign, such as Google Adwords, or by choosing keyphrases which are uncompetitive, thus driving little or no meaningful traffic to your site.

We always concentrate on real results. Your SEO campaign should drive enough traffic to your site to achieve your goals, whether that be more enquiries to follow up or more online sales.

Tailored SEO Solutions

The first step in tailoring a solution for your business is to look at what you hope to achieve. Are you looking for local people to find your website (if your service is only available within a certain area) or do you aim to increase national sales? Where do you figure within your sector already and how competitive is the area in which you trade?

You will need to think about keywords and phrases which people will be typing in to the search engines in order to find you. We will also make suggestions based upon keyword research and traffic figures.

We will look at your current website and whether there are any obvious things it is doing wrong. Many web designers have little or no knowledge of SEO and we often see websites which have been built with no regard to it. We can quickly put this right and get your website working for you.

Once we have completed our initial review we can put together a costed plan for you to consider. Organic SEO can take a little time, so if instant results are needed we can offer a managed Google Adwords campaign to get you started.

New business website packages

If your business does not yet have a website we can put together a package which includes all of the elements you will need including some basic SEO. It doesn't have to be expensive, a basic 1-3 page website starts from £49.95 with monthly hosting at £9.95.

One of the checks we always perform on enquiries submitted to us is to take a look at the website of the company concerned. We do get a fair few fraudulent enquiries submitted to us and we need to weed them out before wasting any time on them.

It's amazing how many businesses still don't have any online presence. Others have sites which are under construction or sites that are showing their age!

A modern, up-to-date website which is well thought out and developed can be a positive boon for your business. Even if you are not aiming for website sales, having a shabby website reflects upon your business and people who are doing their research online are going to look elsewhere.

The worst thing about all of this is that it is so inexpensive to remedy. A professional business website with a few pages need not cost more than £150 or so.

Our business website hosting is reliable and cost effective. For a small monthly fee you will receive a large allowance of webspace, bandwidth and a host of free tools and scripts which will allow you to get your business online with the minimum of fuss.

Within this fee we supply you with a .co.uk domain name and email addresses @yourdomain.co.uk. We can design your site for you if required and include blogs, shopping carts and more, all delivered on time and on budget.

If your current website is showing its age get in touch and transfer it to us for a makeover. We can also help you with website promotion and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).

We can offer you a business website that will perform and produce. To see how your business could benefit from our web services get in touch for a free quotation.

We have expanded the information for some of our individual product pages as follows:

• Business Mobile Phones

We are emphasising how easy it is to get a quote and see how much you could save. Not only that but we also aim to improve your communications at the same time.

As it's a free service there really is no reason for you NOT to get a quote when your business mobiles are due for renewal.

• Business Landline Phones

Again, why not get a quote? It's free of charge, quick and easy. We can almost guarantee to save your business money on its landline calls.

We are particularly good at getting the cost of calls to mobile phones down. This is where many businesses are spending a larger and larger proportion of their monthly or quarterly landline bill.

We also offer reduced line rental, telephone systems (including VoIP) and business broadband. All aspects of your landline service can be placed safely in our hands.

• A total business telecoms solution

Why not get a quote for both services whilst you're at it? A total communications solution offers your business extra savings and we can also include extra services such as tracking, call management, websites and more.

A new website has been launched, SME Business Resources. It aims to compile a complete list of resources for small businesses and medium sized enterprises.

Small businesses are often overlooked by suppliers and find it hard to get the very best deals. This website aims to remedy this by finding all of the cost saving options and listing them all in one place.

At launch it is majoring on a few niche sectors:

• Business Websites
• Business Finance
• Business Phones
• Lead Generation

However other areas of interest for SMEs will be added on a regular basis.

At the same time, as part of its lead generation service, it is promoting consumer offers too. The first of these relates to debt problems and helping people get out of debt. Again more niche products will be added as the lead generation service expands.

It has its own blog which will be regularly updated as pages are added. Visit the SME Business Resources blog.

Other areas in which it hopes to expand are IT support, particularly with cloud-based IT solutions, fleet services, and business credit cards. All of these areas will be included by the end of the year.

A single simple enquiry form allows businesses to choose as many products and services as they are interested in and receive quotes without obligation.

The internet continues to expand, so much so that the current domain name system will have to be changed to cope with the demand for websites in the not too distant future.

More and more people, particularly young people, are accessing the internet via their mobile phone. The internet is their first port of call for information and entertainment. As they get older and move into the world of work the internet will be an essential tool for finding suppliers, new products and promoting their businesses.

The popularity of the internet is only going to increase and more and more business is going to be done online. Businesses that adapt to this model will thrive, whilst those that don't have an online presence at all, or don't put in any effort to promoting themselves online will struggle.

If you are looking for your first business website we offer a omplete package that will allow you to host your own website, send and receive emails, generate more visitors for your website and thus more enquiries for your business.

A business website starts with website hosting. This includes the purchase of your domain name (eg. www.bestbusinessphonedeals.co.uk), the webspace to put your new website on, bandwidth to allow visitors access to your site and email addresses for you to use for online communication. Our standard charge for this is £9.95 per month.

Then you need your website designed. Depending on your business this might be as little as a single page or several hundred pages with integrated shopping cart and payment facilities. As a guide we will produce a new website for you with 10 pages included for as little as £250.

Once your new website is designed, built and online it needs to be promoted to gain a ranking in the search engines (primarily Google). We offer a SEO service (Search Engine Optimisation) starting from £100 per month. The aim is always to produce enough online business to pay for itself quickly and get you into profit, steadily increasing, within 6 months.

As a special offer for new business website customers we are offering an inclusive deal for ALL of the above for just £100 per month. Effectively you are getting your website hosting, design and build for free.

A 12 month contract is all we ask which should give us enough time to have your website thriving online. For business website enquiries call us on 0115 944 8977 or complete our online enquiry form.

Unfortunately, due to technical problems, the old Best Business Phone Deals blog has had to be discontinued. To cut a long story short our web guy's computer imploded and there doesn't seem any easy way to move the old blog pages. It has been easier just to start afresh with a new blog, leaving the old one in its existing place.

We operate a number of blogs utilising different software to power them. This one used Thingamablog, an offline software solution, which means that all of the old files and settings were stored on the doomed laptop. Other blogs utilising online software such as WordPress and DasBlog remain unaffected.

So the moral of the story is to utilise online blog software or make sure you have a proper backup in place in the event of disaster!
