Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy should I have a web site? 
Why should I have a web site?While no-one can promise that having a web site will increase your
profitability or turnover on its own, when used in conjunction with
your existing marketing strategy it will provide an additional form
of communication between you, your existing, and potential customers.
It's like having a 24 hour order and support line, combined with
a company sales brochure which can be updated quickly as your company
grows. It is also surprisingly economical.

formulation which helps you to find the most effective keywords
and phrases for your site. Each report compares the most popular
keywords and phrases for your business with the amount of existing
sites for each keyword or phrase. KEI gives a high rating to popular
keywords with less competition, and a low rating to less popular
keywords with a lot of competition, so identifying the keywords
that will be the most effective for your site. Once a KEI analysis
is completed you can make an informed decision about which keywords
and phrases you will use to optimise your site. Such and such company can guarantee me a top spot in all the search engines, what can you do for me?No-one can guarantee number one rankings in all search engines,
the exception being a long and obscure reference that very few people
would search for, or maybe your company name. For more information
