Why Do I Need a Web Site?

October 9, 2013

The Revolution.

The triumphant clenched fist of revolution.comYou are part of the biggest communications revolution in history. Never before has it been possible for an individual to broadcast in real time to a global audience the way almost anyone can today. And we’re only at the beginning of this new era.

The internet is changing the way everybody communicates, obtains information and does business. For some, it’s overwhelming. For others, it’s the new marketplace. Whoever you are, the internet has become an unavoidable part of doing business.

Unless you’ve been living off the grid or in a remote part of the third world for the last twenty years, none of this is new news. The only question is, have you engaged with the new reality?

You’re already online – so take control

Whether you know it or not, if you’re in business, you’re already online. Google yourself and you’ll see. Other people and businesses are already compiling information about you and your services. And people are already accessing that information. You may have put some of that information about yourself online. Others definitely have, with or without your consent.

If you care about your brand, you will want to take control of your online profile. The best way to do that is by creating a website that will become the focal point of your online presence – somewhere you can place the information you want people to know about your business, organisation or endeavour.

Your customers are online

The internet is making the yellow pages obsolete. Print media is taking a big hit; it no longer delivers the value it once did. Shopping online is becoming common place. Recent surveys confirm the trend: 85 – 90% of people are using the internet to find local businesses. Yes, word of mouth recommendations will always have their place, but here’s the new reality: the internet is fast becoming the first point of contact for doing business.

So, your customers expect you to have an online presence and they will judge your business by how professional it looks and how functional it is.

Broadcast Yourself

Building an online presence takes time – you’re not the only one thinking about using the vast potential of the internet to build their business.

Start now, build consistently and you’ll not only be developing an essential business asset, you’ll be going where your customers are looking for you.

Not all websites are equal. We’re focussed on quality and build websites that use the latest technologies and standards to get best results.

Do you already have a site that needs updating? Are you thinking about getting online but don’t know where to start?

Talk to us about your needs and we’ll work with you to create a custom solution that suits your business or purpose. We can handle as much or as little of the whole process as you decide. We’ll take the hassle out of getting you set up online and running smoothly.

Nice things clients have said…

WordPress Logo

Sue – Nelson

We use Lifeform for all our website work. Rob does a great job administering our websites, keeping them updated and optimised.

Susie Vokins

Susie Vokins – Susie Vokins Associates

Rob assisted me build my first ever business website and logo. To say I am a rookie in these sort of things would be generous. I had absolutely no idea apart from the fact that I wanted some nice photos, a certain theme and was quite clear on the logo I wanted.
I can only praise Rob in all his dealings with myself and my colleagues – he was calm, informed, insightful, had great attention to detail and was always there whenever we had any questions. The result is a website and logo that I am 100% happy with created in less than 3 weeks. I cannot recommend Rob more highly.

Rob was great to deal with, prompt in his responses to my queries and ever willing to sort out my website problems with me, often at short notice. It was important to me that I retained some degree of control over my website and that I could learn from Rob as we went along. He was very open to this. He charged fairly and I look forward to working with him on an ongoing basis.

Deborah Bower – SoulScape

I can’t recommend Lifeform Digital enough. Rob has been extremely good to work with. His approach is professional, prompt, and above all helpful. He offered, and delivered, a very affordable product geared to my specific needs. Never once did I feel overawed by all the IT stuff, yet he did encourage me to grapple with some aspects of the web, which has improved my understanding immensely. If you need a web guy Rob at Lifeform Digital is your man.

I needed a clean looking site that I could maintain and style myself – Lifeform Digital did an awesome job!

Lee Woodman

Lee Woodman – Artist & Designer

Rob’s technical WordPress know-how has got my site up and running, but it’s his knowledge of the web that I’ve found especially useful. His advice on search engines and social media trends has helped me to develop an overall strategy – I know what I need to be doing next. Cheers Bob!

Pataka Art + Museum

Awesome job on the website Rob, your patience, problem solving and technical expertise have been invaluable in producing just what we needed. There is a collective sigh of relief from the Pataka team that we now have a clean, user-friendly site to showcase what we have to offer, or as one of Pataka’s staff put it… ‘Super bloody marvellous’!

The Twisting Trail

When I needed a new website one of my prime interests was to have a user friendly simple and straight forward site that was a pleasure to visit. Simple, Honest, and Effective. It was a pleasure to work with Rob, he interpreted well and built exactly what I imagined, plus kept me well informed throughout the process. And it works! I’m really pleased with the whole process, and look forward to working with Rob to develop the site further as the business evolves.
