Our Custom Mini-Websites
This is a fantastic option for those who recognise the importance of establishing a branded web presence but want to do so at minimal financial risk. With this website option, you get a custom mini-website with a built-in mini-blog linked to a domain name you own.
This is also a cost-effective traffic-generating option currently being used by some of our clients who already have a main business website that is not performing as well as they would like.
Our Custom Mini-Website package is just one of our branded website options. Compare our website options to ensure that this one is the right fit for your business.
Samples of our Custom Mini-Websites
iBeFound-Powered Custom Mini-Websites
Your Custom Mini-Website is powered by our full-featured online advertising platform. It comes with all the features of our Optimum Visibility package (the yearly version). Then we customise it to create your branded mini-website.
To see the difference between an Optimum Visibility Listing (OVL) and a Custom Mini-Website (CMW), follow the links below:
The conversion process from OVL to CMW includes...
- Theme Customisation: we develop a colour scheme and style that would be best for your business. This includes a background colour or image as appropriate.
- Website Header Design: we design a custom website header for you.
- Initial Data Entry: we take the text you provide about your business and re-work it into web-copy format that is easy-to-read, engages your web visitors and paints you as the right choice - the one with the solution they are looking for.
- Basic On-Site SEO: we optimise your mini-website for relevant keywords to be indexed by Google and other search engines.
- Domain Linking: we link your preferred domain name to your Custom Mini-Website.
Additional Services
After purchasing the Custom Mini-Website base package, you may want to purchase some additional services so that we can complete the set up of your Custom Mini-Website.
Our additional services for the Custom Mini-Website package include...
- Domain Registration: we buy AND manage your desired domain name/s on your behalf but you OWN them.
- Email Hosting: we add a 5GB mailbox for personalised email accounts.
- Logo Design: we design (or re-design) a logo for you.
A Note on Domains and Emails
Part of the branding process and the value of having your own domain name is the ability to use it to create personalised, professional-looking email addresses. There are a few approaches to consider when setting up your domain-based email addresses.
Approach #1: Domain + Email Forwarding ONLY
The domain name we purchase on your behalf comes with Unlimited Email Forwarding. This means that we can set up forwarders for your domain-based emails such as info@yourdomain.nz for you. Then when someone emails info@yourdomain.nz you will receive it in your gmail.com or xtra.co.nz email account.
PROS: you can continue to use your regular email address for receiving emails.
CONS: when you reply, your gmail.com or xtra.co.nz email will be used and NOT your domain-based one. This is not good for branding.
Approach #2: Domain + Email Hosting ONLY
With this approach, you get a 1GB web-based mailbox (upgrades are available) with which to use your domain-based email addresses.
PROS: when you reply to emails, your domain-based email address is used. This maintains your branding consistency.
CONS: you will need to log into your new webmail account to access emails. Such webmail accounts tend to lack some of the email features you may be used to.
Approach #3: Domain + Email Hosting + Preferred Email Client
With this approach, your preferred email client (Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) is configured to send/receive emails via your domain-based email addresses.
We can provide INSTRUCTIONS on how you can do this, OR for an extra cost, we will configure up to 5 of your domain-based email accounts to be linked with your preferred email client.
PROS: emails are received in your preferred email account (gmail, xtra, etc.) AND your replies show your domain-based email address.
CONS: none really.
