How long it should take to get a great logo?

Designing a logo is not as easy as it looks. Sure there are crowd sourcing websites out there that will be able to cobble 50 different logo variations for you in about 3 days. But, in reality, if you are wanting your corporate branding or business logo to stand out, then you will need to have an design agency working on this that is prepared to invest the appropriate amount of time.

 

Logo Design is Not a Quick Process.

To truly capture the essence of your business and have an identity created that clearly reflects this, logo design is a staged process. Following are the stages or steps necessary that your design team must take to deliver the best possible logo for your business.

1) you need to brief your graphic designer about your business and what you expect your logo to look like. This doesn’t have to be an exact detailed description of your logo, but a broad outline of what you like and don’t like. Colours and fonts can be discussed as well. It would also be a good idea to have a look at your competition and see the way they are branded.

2) your designer needs to then go away and do some industry research and see how your business can be distinguished from the pack. Ideally, you do not want to look like everyone other business. That’s the reason why you are engaging a design team in the first place.

3) there needs to be at least 3 or 4 initial concepts presented to you based on the design brief given. When presenting these to you, your designer needs to come up with logical reasons and explanations about the design and how he/she arrived there.

4) from this point onwards there will be to / fro emails between you are your graphics guys till you are finally happy with the end result.

5) the approved final artwork is them applied to all of your marketing and sales collateral. This is where the fun really begins as you now need to look at your marketing and start applying your new brand to your website, stationary, brochures, social media and blogs.

As you can see the design process for your logo is not a simple 1 step process. It is quite labour intensive and takes a certain skill set and high level of expertise to get it looking just the way you want it to look.

Remember, your logo is the foundation of your business and if it is created by a professional agency from the outset then you will never need to change it, or at least for the next couple of years. If you rush the design process and expect a logo in a matter of days, then you are going to end up with sub standard branding, that simply won’t work.

Hopping Mad Designs has developed logos and identities for well over 1000 businesses and if there is one thing I can tell you from my experience in this industry; expect the process to take at least 2 weeks. Rushing designers and pressuring them to complete your branding and style guide is going to result in sloppy artwork that leaves your business with an uncompetitive logo. All we ask for is a reasonable and realistic time frame.

Search Engine Rankings: Why Impatience Will Result in a Website Penalty

A new website is often perceived as a cash cow for businesses. They launch their new website and expect everyone to love it including Google. When not much happens despair sets in and the reality of the online world and marketing a website becomes very real.

I have seen a lot of business owners, who after 1 or 2 months, with little or no traffic to their website, become very stressed and worried about the direction of their business. The issue is that their expectations of online success, post website design, is often unrealistic. Expectations run high, but the reality is that building a client base and establishing a web presence on Google takes at least 6 months, if not more. The patient entrepreneurs get this and are prepared to wait and invest the time and money necessary. The unrealistic web owners, who demand to be on page 1 of Google in less than 3 months, eventually pay the ultimate price of a web penalty.

Getting a great search engine ranking is not as easy as it looks. There are far too many SEO and website companies online, who would love to take your money and not really do anything for the service. Understanding what’s involved and what SEO is comprised of, will help business owners demystify this clouded and often misunderstood technique.

OK, let's start at the very beginning…

So what are search engine rankings?

When you are looking for a product, service or a term on search engines and I will be specific here when I say Google, they throw up results. On the far right hand side and on the top 3 displayed results on the front page you will see paid adverts or what is commonly referred to as adwords. Underneath these you might find some local listings in the form of maps and below these are the organic listings or search results. This is where you want your website to be and the higher up you are on these results, the more traffic you are going to get and the better off your business will be. Therefore search engine rankings are a vital component to the survival of your business and this is why companies like Hopping Mad Designs exist. To get your website a better position online. Its all very simple. The higher up you are on the page, the better off you will be. Finding the right SEO company is a massive challenge, and this is why you really need to know the difference between ‘white hat’ and ‘black hat’.

Did you know that ‘Black Hat SEO’ is a certain death for your website…

Many SEO companies you find on Google are offering cheap SEO prices with outrageous and outlandish guarantees. Their core business is to lie directly to you just to get your money. They generally have no clue about SEO and have no idea about getting great search engine rankings. Many of these cheap providers practice ‘black hat’ SEO, which will kill your website. This is 100% certain. Black hat is the name we industry insiders give to SEO companies that perform dubious, problematic and fishy SEO. The do this cause they are not getting paid much to begin with and will look at every manageable way to cut corners and make as much money as they can from you. These practices are unethical and once Google indexes their work (that relates to your website), you will be the one that suffers the penalty. There are many horrible SEO practices such as: keyword stuffing, blog comments, directory submissions, the list is endless and continues to be abused. These practices were popular and common years ago, but today they are just ‘spammy’ and illegal according to Google. If you are in doubt of this check what Matt Cutt’s has to say about all this – he is head of Googles quality control and has clearly outlined what is deemed white and black hat.

 

So think twice if you think that you can get to page 1 of Google by using a cheap company. These guys are not out for your best intentions. They are there to completely rip you off and hide behind a set of very strong terms and conditions. Some of these companies will even harass you at work by telemarketing you from India, promising the world for less than $100 per month. Rule of thumb here

 

Points to note: Your Site Might Be Seen As Spammy if…

  • You quickly get a LOT of inbound links to your website in a short period of time – these links are also coming from non authoritative websites.
  • You have duplicate content on various pages of your website – you might have copied these accidentally or unaware of how it got there, but this is of little concern to Google.
  • This one is the most common form of black hat is keyword spamming. Let’s say you are trying to rank for your main keyword. Lets say you are a electrician in Sydney and you want to come up on page 1 for ‘electricians Sydney’. If you are a black hatter you will just focus on optimising this 1 keyword phrase. You will back link it from as many websites as you can and over time this will trigger an alert within Google’s very sensitive algorithm. OUTCOME = penalty!

 

Why ‘White Hat SEO’ is the best for your business.

 

White Hat SEO, is really the best way to go and is totally search engine compliant. There are no dodgy back links, copied content or over optimised pages. If you are able to find a company that is white hat friendly then stick with them. They will be trying to get you to write original content and look at ways to optimise your website so that it complies with the strict guidelines as set out by Google. White hat SEO is all about making your website and online marketing look as organic as possible. The more natural and organic it is, the better your search engine ranking. It’s not rocket science, but it does involve many man hors and this is where the costs come in.

 

How to get proper organic online website traffic

 

If you have launched your website and want to see immediate traffic, you may like to use more traditional forms of marketing like radio, newspapers or magazines. On top of this an Adwords campaign is a good start to get visible on Google. All this is expensive but if you want immediate results then you better have deep pockets. This is all done in conjunction with your SEO campaign, so all this can be simmering away in the background for 3-6 months till your SEO kicks in. Even then be prepared to battle it out as getting to page 1 is half the battle. The other half is staying there and keeping your competition away.

 

Remember that Patience is the Key To Success.

If you want to take anything away from this blog then the 1 thing is – BE PATIENT!

If your website is important to you then you need to do everything you can to protect it and your good name. Having is banned from Google is a disaster, but if you want to do SEO the right way you can avoid all these hiccups, mishaps and disasters.

We have created a low cost business that delivers market leading products, service and customer care.  With the increasing shift away from traditional retail ‘bricks and mortar’ shopping, to online purchases, we believe the economic and social demographics favourable to the establishment of a successful online brand.

Hence, our retail outlet is our website, underpinned by the Travel Insurance Plus brand and e-commerce capability.

Website design, functionality and search engine optimisation is crucial to success.  We defined our online needs as:

  • Understandable: What is the most important piece of information on each page and is it easy to find. Our customers must easily understand the content and the associated user actions or directions.
  • Actionable: Clear to the user what actions are available and what path customers need to take. These pathways need to be guided by prominent and attractive visual aids or call to action buttons.
  • Engaging: We want people to find our site aesthetically pleasing, easy to navigate and provoke a willingness to engage with our content and ‘quote and buy’ function.  Success will be measured by loiter time, customer exit points and sale conversion.
  • Search Engine Optimisation: Critical to success is the ease in which customers locate Travel Insurance Plus.  Search engine optimisation across multiple key words that rank highly is how our customers will find us.

Website Development & Search Engine Optimisation:

We conducted an industry search for an agency that met several parameters, not limited to but included:

  • Combined web development and search engine optimisation capability;
  • Willingness to form a partnership not conduct business at a transactional level;
  • Proven portfolio of satisfied customers;
  • Proven ‘ethical’ search engine optimisation success;
  • Ability to demonstrate a consultative, professional and project managed development process; and
  • Transparent communication.

 

Hopping Mad Designs

We selected Hopping Mad Designs from Sydney.  They most closely met our requirements and we are pleased with the outcome.

The website design brief stage was a process of working out what we didn't want. It involved evaluating the competition and looking at what they do and hopefully doing it better. Hopping Mad Designs provided a bespoke design solution for our business. Several concepts were developed, fine tuned and then Hopping Mad Designs refined the one we thought would work best.  They took on board our feedback and made us a part of the design process. The final results met our expectations and furthermore the project was delivered ahead of schedule and on budget.

 

Without a successful search engine optimisation (SEO) campaign, our website will be lost amongst the half a billion other travel insurance pages.  Hence, we need to eventually rank on the first page of Google, Bing and Yahoo. But we have to get their in a professional and ethical manner.  That is what Hopping Mad has committed to do and is delivering.

 

We wanted the same agency to design and develop our website and then manage our SEO to ensure our site and content are optimised, that we maximise our return on investment and provide a great customer experience.

PPC v SEO: What is the Best Solution for your Business

How Much Money Do I have To Spend?

Like all things in business, everything comes down to the dollar value and the ROI. The more you spend the more you expect bring in. It’s s9imple math and you need to do the sums before you plunge big dollars into Google or your SEO company.

Let’s have a look at PPC costs to start with. PPC requires that you spend money daily. For competitive keywords this cost per click can escalate; in some cases up to $100 per click – that’s exactly right. For this type of investment you would need to be constantly monitoring your PPC, to make sure that you are not over paying and you are getting the right type of traffic. Over time, PPC costs can mount up to quite a sizeable chunk of money, which can take up most of your marketing budget.

With PPC, you can set the amount you want to spend with your daily budget, but if you have used it up the temptation is always there to keep on increasing this. Before you know it, you have doubled your PPC budget.

SEO in terms of costs, we find, is more of an upfront investment, but over time this cost becomes more affordable than a PPC campaign. You should be expecting to outlay more money in say the first 6 months of a SEO campaign, but after roughly 8-12 months of continued SEO you will find that it brings in a MUCH higher return on your marketing dollar.

Businesses love being at the top of Google organically, this is their nirvana, so based on this fact you can be assured that SEO is a much better value proposition than PPC – by a long shot – we at hopping mad designs much prefer SEO to PPC.

 

SEO Takes Time, PPC is Immediate

If you have just launched a business or have a new product that you have created a dedicated website landing page for, then PPC is the way to go. It’s effect is immediate and you will see a spike and increase in traffic that day. The more you spend on PPC the more traffic you are likely to get. Just leave Google your credit card details and they will take care of the rest.

SEO alternatively, like all good things, take time. It needs to be nurtured, watched, loved and over a period on a year, will produce the desired benefits.

If you are after a quick and rather expensive short term solution, then think PPC. If you are in it for the long haul and are a serious about establishing your brand online, then SEO is the best and most attractive option.

 

Will it Work or Wont it.

Effective SEO processes take time and lots of effort. You have to be forever watching what’s going on and monitoring what Google does. This is why you have to pay a SEO company for this, that understands the algorithmic changes that Google implements. The upside with SEO, is that you can be on page 1 for hundreds of your main keywords, generating serious traffic. The downside is that Google can flick and algorithm and your rankings start to slide. This can get really disheartening and have an effect on your business. All the good work you have done, the money and time spent on attaining these rankings can disappear overnight. To avoid these mishaps and ranking fluctuations we suggest only using a SEO agency that can prove that they know all the nuances regarding SEO.

PPC is the exact opposite. As long as you keep dishing out the money you are going to be ranking. There is zero risk and you are guaranteed that you will have your advert online 24/7.

 

SEO Can Very Competitive

Before starting any SEO campaign, you have to look at the competitive nature of the industry you are trying to compete in. If the niche is jammed packed with existing, high profile businesses that have been there for years then it’s going to be extremely difficult for you to come in there and dislodge these guys from page 1. If you a dead set keen on SEO and are determined to rank, no matter the competition, then you better be prepared to stick it out for the long haul and be conditioned to spend some good dollars. This is going to be especially true if you have a new website that has little authority. Playing with the big boys online is going to take some real commitment and faith in the ability of your SEO provider.

 

PPC Puts You In the Drivers Seat

In you want real control and management of your online marketing, then PPC is the answer. You can change ads, control viewing times, areas it will display and where you want it to be sitting in the ad hierarchy. Essentially, you hold all the buttons that control the campaign. It’s immediate and happens in real time.

SEO unfortunately is completely in the hands of Google. If your SEO company has done a good job, then you should see specific landing pages ranking for keywords, but ultimately Google is judge and jury here. You can control certain pages and what is indexed, but ranking and the pages that are displayed are completely out of your control. Saying this I reckon that I have been able to rank pages that are keyword specific within a week – but that’s for another blog. For the purposes of this article all you need to know is that PPC gives you more control.

 Take it anyway you want but for my money I would go SEO any day of the week. As a business owner I am in this for a long time so no matter what the reality is, I would much prefer to relinquish control to a certain extent and have my website ranking organically.

 

Whose Got More Clout

In my experience and I’m fairly certain I am covering the wider audience here, most people click on the websites that rank organically. I never really click on the ads on the side as I think they are just out there for dollars and are a tad untrustworthy. This is the big issue when it comes to PPC v SEO. People who click on PPC ads are generally price shopping, looking for the best deal and may not be the type of client you want.

Because your are ranking organically, SEO adds more authority to your brand and will attract the right type of person to your website. After all who wants tyre kickers, bargain hunters and time wasters. People will trust these type of websites much more than paid ads, so by the time they make the call, they are nearly committed to buying from you.

 

The Best Solution.

The  Best solution for any business is to have a combination of the PPC and SEO. If you are starting out online, get Adwords going for a couple of months until your SEO kicks in. Once you are seeing organic, solid, natural rankings your can scale back on your PPC spend. It’s like scales, they will start of weighted towards PPC, but over time they will tilt towards SEO.

Not just talented, but a truly genuine bunch of people, whose dedication to small business is rare—I’d happily recommend them (and often do).

Is Your Website Underperforming?

3 Reasons Why Your Website is Failing

i) Probably the greatest let down for website is the design. I see so many websites that look absolutely appalling, it’s no wonder they are not working. A lot of business owners over the last couple of years have been content and satisfied with just a web presence. It was enough to have a website online, no matter how it looked or how it reflected on the business. In other words, anything will do so long as it’s online.

They would go with the cheapest web company they could find online and settle for a substandard, inadequate, lousy, shoddy web solution that did absolutely nothing in terms of performance or converting online shoppers or browsers into actual paying customers. That is, the website was ultimately underperforming and not doing the business any favours.

Being tight with the web budget upfront is a serious infectious and epidemic problem amongst Sydney businesses. They think they are doing a good thing by their business by shopping their web project around. The cheapest bidder, in most cases (especially in the web and online environment) is simply a BAD MOVE and the negative repercussions can multiply over time.

I have blogged about this so often, that cost should not be a main factor when it comes to your website design. Spend accordingly, don’t bust prices down to the bare minimum or you will end up loosing out big time! Cheap web solution are there are so many companies out there are extremely detrimental, harmful and destructive for your business – I am not saying this for the sake of this blog – we get literally dozens of calls per month from business owners that have been ripped off, conned and cheated by these so called web agencies.

ii) Another reasons why your site is loosing you business and not doing what was expected of it is SEO or search engine optimisation. This is a massive topic so I will limit my rationale here.

SEO is the technique of getting your website high up there on the search engines, especially Google. You can have the best looking website in the world with all the bells n whistles but it will be an underperforming asset if there is no SEO or rankings.

Again, I have banged on about this many times before but if your website is not found online by potential customers then it’s not doing it’s job. Essentially it is a waste of what should be a very productive sales tool for your business.

There are a multitude of reasons why your SEO is not on target and these include; poor web copy, slow load times, over optimisation of keywords, incorrect titles and web semantics. The list goes on and on but SEO is without doubt the most critical factor in website performance.

iii) The last reason why your website is underperforming is the content on the site. More often than not, this part of the web process is often overlooked and in turn your web site suffers. Content is a driving force in funnelling consumers down the buying path. It influences their behaviour, can play on their emotions and will ultimately play a big part in the sales process.

If your content is too thin or lacking in passion, gusto or intensity, then it will contribute to your websites dismal performance.

How To Improve your Websites Performance?

If your graphics or website visuals have not been looked at in the past 12 months, then it’s time you had a website audit – look at ways to improve the visuals of all website pages so they are optimised for conversions.  If you are at all concerned about the look and feel of your website and it’s direct relationship to performance then give it to a web company that is not going to be bargained down to the point where they have to cut corners.

 

Be prepared to open your wallet (remember, web design is a tax deduction) and spend accordingly – you might be pleasantly surprised by the end result.

To rank on Google you need SEO and to rank properly and have your website operating at peak performance you need to be working with a web and SEO company that can combine the 2 disciplines. If you want to take it a step further, why not be proactive and call us here at Hopping Mad Designs on 02 9360 8514 – we are one of the only Sydney Web and SEO agencies that does everything in house.

Once your website is ranking and sitting on page 1, you will know what I mean by the power of this technique – SEO in all its glory will SUPER CAHRGE your websites performance. If you ever wanted a sales person that was working for you 24/7, then your website combined with SEO is the answer.

 

Joomla CMS WebSite Design and Joomla Web Developers Sydney

All our in-house designers and Joomla developers have built thousands of websites from basic brochure style sites right through to more complex eCommerce shopping cart sites. So no matter what type of website you are after we have the technical CMS know how to deliver a great looking website all built using the Joomla framework.

 

4 Advantages of a Joomla CMS for your Website.

 

1) The obvious advantage is that it is open source. This way you are not locked into or tied up with another web companies purpose built CMS platform. What this really means for your business is that you never have to pay monthly fees for the intellectual property of their CMS – many web companies will slug you a hefty monthly fee for the CMS and tell you all kinds of stories about security, SEO updates, what ever they like just to keep n hitting you with this fee. Joomla negates this rip off and allows you the freedom to take your website anywhere, without the fear of loosing your website. Watch out for companies that try to flog their own CMS platforms – at the end of the day they are really not worth the money or the aggravation. We get so many phonme calls from businesses that have or are trapped into using a CMS that they really don't like.

 

2) Joomla will automatically provide your website with security patches and SEO plug –ins so you are always up to date with the latest technologies – these are done automatically so you never have to worry about site hackings or being disadvantaged with your SEO. I would however, suggest that you talk to use about a SEO campaign and a search engine startegy once your website has been launched.

 

3) If you are hosting on 1 server with Joomla and you want to transfer it to another hosting company, this is very easy to do. With Joomla you are not stuck with 1 hosting provider. If your hosting platform is not working properly, or you are disappointed with the performance, then its super easy to migrate.

 

4) Some people may think that Joomla platforms can limit design – this is far from the truth – our CMS sites are all very visual, original and custom made. In no way does Joomla affect design, in fact, it enhances our abilities and gives us more license to be creative.

 

Joomla CMS & Hopping Mad Designs, Why Us?

 

If you have never been through the web development process, then you should know that they type of CMS platform that you use can have a massive impact on your web outcome.

Why a professional website is a MUST HAVE

Relying on what used to be popular or old school marketing campaigns is just not going to work anymore. And, your website is the very first step in the ladder that is the online world. Getting a professionally designed website will give the business advantage that your competitors may not have.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics states that only 41% of businesses in Sydney and throughout Australia have a website – I find this an amazing statistic, considering the longevity of the internet and how long Google has been around. I will make a bet that these companies slow on the uptake used to be real strong advocates for the Yellow Pages. The reason for their reluctance to embrace the internet is either through a lack of understanding or their business is all local and through word of mouth. It is these types of businesses that really need to get their head around the online world and this can only begin once they get a website designed. From this point onwards, they can then use their website as a great marketing vehicle.

So What Can A Professionally Designed Website Do For My Business?

Let’s say you are a accountant and you have never had a website. You have relied on word of mouth, events and get togethers to hand out your designed business card and in turn wait for the business to come through the door. But what happens if they loose your card or they some how forget who you are or what your firm does? These people will go to Google and search for you. If you are not there or cannot be located easily, then this will result in a lost opportunity. Your website is your online business card or brochure.

Alternatively, if you have a website that has been search engine optimised for Google, then not only is your website going to be found but it will also highlight so much information about your business. It is such a good marketing tool, that any business that thinks that they can get by without having a website is sorrily mistaken.

Burying ones head in the sand and thinking that this is a passing fad is just bad business. Eventually, this ignorance will consume your business to the point where there is nothing left. I know this is a really harsh statement but lets have a dose of reality here – you know in the back of your mind that what I’m saying is 100% truthful and inevitable.

So What Are Some Other Advantages of Having a Website.

1) You can post information online that will help customers know more about your business. Think about opening times, new services you may be offering, product specials, new staff members etc.

2) If you want to market to a new audience who are on mobile phones, then a website is the perfect medium for this. Get you web developers to design a mobile website for you along with your new site.

3) You can link to your social media from your website. Business owners who are not in the web space will most probably not have any social media presence, but even a small amount of activity on Facebook or Twitter and even Linked In will show the world that you exist – AND this can all be linked from your website.
