A professional website can provide an invaluable and inexpensive way to market your practice or business, and is becoming a must for any practitioner today. The use of the internet by consumers to find information is expanding dramatically everyday.

Having your own website can save you countless hours having to explain your services, give directions and office hours. You can refer people to look at your website where they can find all the information they need.

We have a foot in both worlds. As experienced designers and complementary therapists we understand your clients needs. This is why we can create a website for you that shows the world who you are.

Depending on your needs and budget we can offer a range of options.

The whole purpose of having a website is to promote yourself and your services. Branding and Identity is most important part of promoting yourself (you can’t polish a turnip!). if you already have an identity that you are happy with, this will reduce the cost of building your website.

We offer a full range, from dynamic sites with databases to simple but creatively effective 5 page sites. The cost depends on your needs and budget.

Sometimes the best option may be to use your budget on having your identity created and, with our help, use a Free Hosted Website until you are ready for us to create a unique one for you.

Satori Hosting is part of Satori Creative and hosts all of our clients websites.

If your current website is hosted with another company, we can arrange transfer of your domain name and website to us.

If you are struggling to have the time to keep your website up-to-date, making sure links are not broken, keeping your site top of the search engines, remembering renewals of domain names and web hosting, we can take this pressure off you and manage your site for you.

In order for your website to appear when a person enters words such as acupuncture and your town or county, your site needs to be submitted to the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN as well as have the keywords located in the correct places within your website. We provide this service for free. It may take 1-2 months for the search engines to pick up your site.

Linking your site to others and visa versa will increase your ratings, hence increasing your position.

Keeping your website up-to-date and adding new content regularly also means the search engines will find and update your site helping you go up in the rankings.

Short – Less than 7 characters, ideally. A simple name will roll off the tongue more easily in conversation, look more professional, and have less chance of being mis-typed.

Easy to spell – Make sure it passes the phone test: if you were to say the domain name of your website to a friend over the phone, would your friend be able to spell it correctly the first time without your having to spell it for them? If not, maybe try a different domain name. Avoid using dashes in your domain name.

Descriptive – A good site or business name will describe exactly what the site is about.

Keywords – Include descriptive keywords that describe your business, product or mission in your domain name. This will help in increasing your search engine ranking for search phrases that include the keywords used in your domain name.

If you have decided on your domain name, you can check and see if it is free by typing in the domain name you have chosen by using this free domain search tool.

If your domain name is available, our advice is to buy it straight away. If you wish us to arrange the purchase of your domain name, contact us either by email or over the phone and we can sort out the arrangements of payment for your domain name.
