			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Businesses and Individuals are increasingly relying solely on a company&#8217;s website for information and will often decide whether or not to do business with that company within a few seconds of visiting. A successful website will draw a visitors attention to the key values of your company and its offerings, visually represent your professional nature and allow visitors to take the exact action required to get the information they want. To create a truly successful website for your business you will need to:</p>
<p>-Plan the objective and focus of your site. Is it going to focus on the company as a whole or a single product? Do you want visitors to sign up to your mailing list, download a brochure or request a quote? Setting these types of objectives for a site will ensure that you don&#8217;t waste valuable time and money when building it.</p>
<p>-Find a professional web designer to create a design that matches your company&#8217;s brand, shows visitors how professional you are and is aligned with the objectives for the site. Using a customisable template or inexperienced designer can lead to a severely under-performing site and can end up costing a lot more in the long run.</p>
<p>-Have your site built properly so that it is accessible to visitors, visible to search engines, quick to load and easy to manage. It is vital that your site is easy for you to manage, changing the text on your site or adding a new page should be a two minute job, made possible using a web based Content Management System (CMS).<br />
-Market your site. Just launching a website is not enough to allow potential customers to find your business online. At the very least you will need to employ some method of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) to allow sites like Google to find your website and associate it with the relevant keywords for your business. Other ways to get your website noticed are via Social Media or E-Mail Marketing.</p>
<p>IGC Enterprises creates successful websites for businesses that demand a professional online presence. Working with IGC means you&#8217;ll receive a well planned out, professionally designed, high quality website that will allow your business to achieve its full potential online.</p>
