Once the template design meets your approval, we then move on to the construction phase of the project. Your design template, which was initially created as a single image, is now converted into HTML code.
It would then take 3-5 days to launch the completed site.

Answer: Basically, there are 2 ways to advertise your website and get traffic:

1. Sponsored Links or “Pay-Per-Click” advertising (pink area)
2. Natural “organic” search results (green area)

Sponsored links are ads that you pay to have featured in search engines. You pay according to how many times you are ads are clicked, hence the term “pay-per-click”. Combined with search engine optimization, this method gets optimal marketing results.

However, there are studies that show that 90% of all website traffic comes from natural, “organic” listings. Organic listings refer the results of a user search in Google, Yahoo or MSN. These sites tend to be more likely to get clicked on and therefore, more trustworthy.

Answer: Our SEO expertise gives your website a better chance of being found when people are searching for information, related to medical procedures and competent doctors. We spent years researching major search engines and know how to reach top 10 positions on Google, Yahoo and MSN listings.

Our SEO services include:

• Keyword and key phrase analysis that will drive qualified traffic to your website
• Content optimization for chosen keywords/key phrases
• Search engine-friendly website design
• Site programming
• Press release writing and publishing
• Link building
• Internet directory submissions

Answer: You need to promote your website actively offline and leave the online marketing to us. Online promotion usually means registering the site with all the relevant search engines, so people can "find" you. Offline promotion is just as important.

However, you will be required to supply your ACN, RBN or ABN, which we will request during the registration process. If you do not have an ABN, you will need to apply for one, which we can help you with. It takes a few days to get your ABN, but you can continue your registration with us while it’s pending. NOTE: we cannot submit your registration until we have your ABN number.

Answer: The most familiar are .com (commercial entities, such as companies), .net (network administration), and .org (usually used for non-profit organizations and institutions).

Answer: We submit your Web address (domain name) application immediately. You are notified by e-mail if your application is completed. This generally takes fewer than 24 hours, but can take up to 5 business days if there is a problem with your registration.

Answer: Your registration is good for one (1) year. Near the end of the registration period, we will ask if you want to renew it. If you no longer want the address, you may choose not to renew. The same applies to the website.
