Additional Web Services
From RKJOnline Web Design in Cheshire
Slideshows
Showing your photo images in a slide-show is a great way to feature key information or specific products and services in a compact area of the web page, allowing for good copy (words on page) to complement it.
Slide shows should be eye-catching and use a feature called flash animation, which allows for different ways of transitioning between the images, from slide to slide e.g. fading, or using a chequerboard format.
You can also incorporate text into slide show images.

Images enhance a website; they not only compliment the “copy” (words on page) by helping the visitor to visualise the product or service you offer but they also break up those words and make the whole web page more attractive. They can train the eye to navigate to certain key areas on the web page.
As well as including images on your website pages, RKJOnline Web Design in Cheshire can offer a web page dedicated to a photo gallery – highlighting whatever it may be that you want your web visitor to see.

Like images, video content on a webpage can provide an attractive enhancement helping to keep your visitor “on-page” and of course can demonstrate a product or service to your website visitors, educating them in your business and brand, driving traffic to the website and helping to increase sales.
Videos can bring a product or service to life, can show “before and after” effects of your brand or convey customer testimonials in a novel way – all adding credibility for your business.

Once you have decided on your Company name, you then need to decide on what you will call your new website. You may simply decide on a name which matches your company, or go for a name which will enhance your likelihood of being found in Google. In either case you need to decide which domain suffix(es) to use, and if you will be making use of the "subdomains" feature.
RKJOnline can offer you help with this topic as well as advise on your "brand" and what you can do to protect it by use of domain names.

Use of a reasonable amount of animation can help attract and retain site visitors; too much, or inappropriate, animation can have the opposite effect. Should you consider adding any animation effects to your site, we will explain what is available and advise how best it may be used.
Consider:
- Banners
- Adverts
- Enhanced Menus and Navbars
- Movies
E-mail and Webmail Options
Our mailbox e-mail addresses are synchronised with your chosen domain name, allowing you to choose any personalised email address under that domain name – for example, "tom@mydomain.com" – rather than sharing a large domain and needing to use a more anonymous address line richard_117@... Or Kay95@...
Choose a mailbox that meets the needs of your organisation:
- Save time and money while keeping your business protected
- Create the right impression by using business-class communication tools
- Stay in touch and in control with e-mail on the move
Maps
Build trust with your customers and demonstrate your communication skills by having a MAP on your website to show either a) where you are located or b) where you will travel to, to sell your service or product.
RKJOnline can provide MAPS in 3 different styles: Google Map, to pinpoint your location, Google Earth (Satellite image) or a customised Map covering a specific area or areas. Your website visitors will be able to enlarge the map and (for the Google options) zoom in / out.

Having (and keeping up-to-date) a Blog on your website can be very beneficial. It can add to your credibility as an “alive and kicking” business because visitors land on your website and see that it has fresh, updated and recent relevant content. This is something that the search engines like Google like too. Each web post is a new web page and Google loves to see fresh content using appropriate keywords to your niche. It can result in more traffic (and more would-be customers) visiting your overall website.
A Blog also adds to your integrity as an authority in your field; give your readers hints and tips on a regular basis and you’ll earn a reputation for being helpful and honest and you’ll build trust with your followers. So the next time you add a “call to action”, encouraging the visitor to buy from you, they will be more inclined to do so.
RKJOnline can provide a blog at a value-for money price;> just click here for more details.
Facebook and Twitter Pages
The power of these Social Media tools in your Internet Marketing campaign should not be underestimated. Using these “word of mouth” methods, you can reach literally 1000’s of potential customers in an instant, advising all of them about your company's products and services.
RKJOnline Web Design in Cheshire can set up both a facebook business page and a twitter account for you, at a very affordable price. We can train you in how to use these tools to communicate with your “fans”, “followers” and visitors, embracing the power of social media and getting your brand as widely known as possible.

Your site is all about content. It is the content of your site, together with the way it is presented, that has such a great effect on whether or not you are successful in attracting (and keeping) the interest of visitors. A website that does not contain the useful information that a visitor needs is often worse than not having a web presence at all.
You can also enhance the visitor's web experience with:
- Additional royalty-free (photo-) images
- A professional Enquiry / Contact interactive form
- Design and include a simple customised 2d or 3d Logo for the site
- Including your own Company Logo or bespoke/customised design in the site
- A “Favicon” for the site
- Tickertape
