Small Business Web Design

Rubious offers a full range of small business web design packages, including logo design, web design, Content Management Systems, e-Commerce web site design and blogs. We provide custom build web sites, tailored exactly to your business needs.

Content Management Web Design (Various Packages)

A website with a Content Management System (CMS) is a great option for a small business, delivering cost savings and a greater degree of control. As your business grows, you need to be able to constantly update your website with news, photos, and details of new products, services, and case studies.

Once you have full control over the content of your website you will find yourself adding content to your website at every opportunity, and your visitors will keep coming back to see the latest updates.

We set out which parts of the site can be changed during the initial planning and design phases of your website project, to make sure you have an optimum balance between simplicity and control. We make sure that you cannot ‘break’ the website by locking out the parts of the site that contain important code, and giving you control of your website’s text and photos.

The CMS itself is very easy to use – as simple as working with a Word Processor – and although you may never need it we provide a manual, training, and phone support. The CMS can be updated from any computer without installing additional software, and combined with the innovative online manual, this means you can edit your website whether you are in your office or using a laptop in your local coffee shop.

We will tailor the CMS to your specific needs – adding features such as galleries, slideshows, case studies, testimonials, downloads, and more. Having a bespoke CMS insures that not only do you get tools dedicated to your specific features but we won’t add extra costs by giving you a CMS with extra tools that you do not need.

Non-CMS Web Site Design (the Topaz package)

If your website is small and simple, and you feel you either will not need to update it very often or do not have the time, then our Topaz package will save you money. The cost to build the website is reduced by taking out the CMS, and updates are done by Rubious for a small charge.

We can still offer all the features mentioned above, and the website will not seem different to your visitors, but you will be able to get up and running for a lower cost and without needing to read any manuals.

Ecommerce Web Design (Various Packages)

If you are selling products (either physical products or downloadable), or selling tickets to events or courses, then you can do this all through your website with eCommerce. Rubious makes it easy – you just set up the payment method (usually PayPal or Google Checkout, although we can also work with your preferred Payment Processor) and we set up the rest.

From a simple shopping basket with just a few products, to a large product catalogue, your website can support it all. Enter details of your product, photographs, specification and more details, and your customers can add it to their basket and then securely checkout when they are finished. Advanced coupon and discount codes allow you to set up promotions and sales all within the easy to use CMS. We will show you how to combine this with email marketing to encourage shoppers to visit your site again for that great bargain.

If you need to send products overseas that can be done easily as well – with taxes and shipping prices worked out by the content management system.

Blogs/News

Your website visitors may want to read about the latest news in your company or your industry – new product launches, news that affects their company and yours, press releases, and interesting insights into your company. A blog can help you do this.

Update your blog with the latest news, and it is automatically entered into the news section of your website – with the latest news on top. Visitors can subscribe to your RSS feed (Really Simple Syndication) and get told whenever your site updates. Each new blog post will encourage people to visit again, and then you can impress them into enquiring about your products or even ordering online.

Frequently updating your website with a blog also has other benefits – Search Engines love fresh content. Each time you update your blog, search engines will have another look at your website, and this could increase your rankings. You will also be found by searchers looking for information that you have written about in your news pages.

Businesses big and small can benefit from having a blog on your website – and small businesses may see a big boost in the interest in their company if they start to show their company philosophy and personality through the updates to their website.

For extra impact, Rubious can interlink your social network accounts within your blog, so for example new blog/news entries will be posted direct on Facebook, furthermore increasing interest and traffic for your website.
