MISSION STATEMENT

acceptably-priced Web sites which fulfil our business clients desires and cause

Introduction to World Wide Web Pages
A business advertisement on the Internet is generally referred
to as a "home page" or a "Web page." We like to think of a Web
Site as your company's "window" to the world.
It can provide an on-line catalogue of your services or products
and promote your company to a wide and diverse audience.
Think of it as an active extension of your company as it will reflect
your image and business style.
UK-COMMERCE.COM has developed six Web Site Packages at
reasonable prices, one of which should be adaptable to your
needs.
If you feel your needs something special we can supply
customised sites to your individual requirements. The
configurations shown are only suggestions. We will tailor your
Web site to fit your company's needs.
Your business doesn't even need to own a computer to tap the
power of the Internet. But people with computers, both at work
and at home, -- higher income, higher educated potential
customers--can find you and contact you from all over the world.
Marketing your Products on the World Wide Web
One of the most popular and ever increasing trends of this decade is the Internet's World
Wide Web. On the Web companies can advertise their services and products to a world wide audience.
This assists you in staying one step ahead of your competition.
The steps to creating a presence on the World Wide Web are straightforward
and similar to traditional advertising. As with any effective marketing
technique, it takes understanding of how the market evaluates and purchases
your products to create the most effective Web presence.
- Determine what marketing information you wish to present on your Web pages.
- Select information for inclusion on the World Wide Web
- Prepare information for us to convert into your Web pages.
Text to be in ASCII format. Graphics in PCX format or supply originals for scanning.
- Indicate the type of layout you require.
- Prepare to receive inquiries and sales via E-Mail or other means.
While these five steps may sound simple, there are a number of tasks involved in
each step.
Determine what marketing information you wish to present on your Web pages.
You are probably already providing a variety of information to
prospective clients. Some present an overview of your products, while
brochures or catalogues provide detailed information. You might also send
"white paper" documents, user manuals, and other expensive materials.
You have probably wondered what is the exact combination of information
needed to turn interest into prospects, and prospects into customers. There is
no single answer for all people because there are so many different levels
of interest, based on their current position in the product evaluation
cycle.
If they are gathering information about future projects, you want to
provide overview information and keep them on your prospect list.
If they are evaluating specifications for an upcoming purchase, you want to
provide detailed product information in addition to overview material.
If they are about to buy a product, you want to give them whatever
information they need to decide that your product is best for them.
By providing the product information they are looking for when they need
it, your Web pages increase your awareness in the market and your sales
conversion rate.
Select information for inclusion on the World Wide Web
One of the biggest differences between the Web and traditional marketing is
that the space considerations are different. With a Web server, you have
much more space to work with and can include more details, graphics, and
examples to support a description of your product.
An excellent way to take advantage of this space is by providing materials
that educate as well as sell. A company that sells power supplies could
provide a paper discussing the most common types of power outages and line
surges. A company that sells accounting software could provide a fact sheet
outlining the differences between cash-based and accrual accounting.
The best type of educational material is the kind that compliments the more
sales-oriented Web content, building a picture of a company that can offer
knowledge and solutions as well as merely provide product.
Prepare information.
The preparation of your Web promotional material starts by gathering the
art for your existing literature and promotional materials. By building on
your existing inventory of electronic and physical art, we are able to keep
costs down and integrate your "corporate look" into your Web promotional
material.
The process that we apply in order to create attractive, attention-getting Web pages
includes:
- Add Web codes to existing text files
- Scan existing photos and illustrations into disk files
- Convert graphic files to appropriate file sizes and colour palettes
- We can create additional graphic elements, such as illustrations and
technical drawings if required
- Add hypertext codes to link documents
- Load files on the Web server
- Test all text and graphic links
- Submit site for final approval
- Publish and promote the site on the Web
We suggest that you add your Web address to any advertisements and promotions that you are running in other media
to allow readers to access the additional information easily.
Do not forget to add this information to your business cards, office stationery and fax header page.
Make sure your E-Mail address is included also.
Indicate the type of layout you require.
We have supplied a section on the order form to allow you to indicate the general layout of the Web pages you require.
We will, initially, use our discretion on the overall design of your Web Site, whilst taking into account any
specific requirements you may have stated.
Prior to publication we will advise you of a Web address to allow you to privately view the site or we
can supply a B&W copy of the exact layout as it will appear to people viewing it.
We will amend the layout to take into account any changes you may require after your inspection.
Prepare to receive inquiries and sales
After we have generated awareness and interest in your Web pages, and
after consumers have decided that your product is best for them, the next
step in your Web marketing program is to:
- Respond to inquiries
- Accept orders
While these steps may sound easy, it takes proper implementation here to
ensure that you receive the full benefit of your marketing program.
Respond to inquiries
When on-line consumers find a product they like, they want to move from
high-tech to high touch -- and ask a human a few questions.
Sometimes you'll receive e-mail. Sometimes you'll receive phone calls. Either way,
you must respond to these questions quickly and intelligently.
Why quickly? Because the speed of providing information on Web pages
conditions people to expect quick answers to questions about their unique
needs.
Why intelligently? Because the information you provide prospects on Web
pages has taken them further through the product evaluation process than
any other marketing process you've used.
While this reduces the time your sales staff spends with unqualified prospects, it increases the level of
expertise needed in your sales staff.
If they can't quickly answer technical questions about your products, you'll lose sales that were
already yours.
