Need a Basic Type Web Site?

In case you missed it on the previous page, a basic type web site is one that is used to share information, promote a business or a service.

Examples of these types of sites are: www.gcsconveyancing.com.au and www.telco-online.com which we have put together for our clients.

Such sites can also be used to sell things online as long as a shopping cart is not needed. An example of such a site is our very own www.seo-analysis.com where we sell a custom made search engine optimisation report of a customer's web site.

Web Site Structure

Typically, these sites have the one theme and are composed of a few pages such as: a homepage, an information page or two, a 'contact us' page and a 'about us' page.

Pros

set-and-forget: these type of web sites are great 'set-and-forget' types of sites as once setup and online, you just need to promote them in any way that suits you eg. business cards, flyers, local advertising, and so on ...

search engine optimisation: if you know how, they are 'easy' to optimise for search engines,

third party scripts: it is usually straightforward to add third party scripts to them to extend their functionality. For example: Google ads, polls, guestbook, lightbox, random text, rotating banners and lots more ...

Cons

They do have some disadvantages:

expensive: they are more expensive as you need to pay someone to basically do all the work for you,

updates: when you need changes made, you will need to pay someone to do it for you,

themes: changing themes can be time consuming (and expensive).
