What Recession?

Since the Wellington Small Business Expo in late July, followed by the Expo in Christchurch early August, life has been full at Value Websites.

Are you winning?  Or, at least gently encouraged that business is picking up? Recent reports that the 'recession' is receding are true, if our experince over these last few weeks is an indicator. While I would hesitate to say that it's business back to normal - there definitely is a new confidence and buoyancy out there in my opinion.

Two new Value Websites developed sites are up and running.
 
Check out:
www.levinanglicanchurch.com
www.siberian.co.nz

And, a third site is nearly ready to launch:
www.premierracingclub.co.nz (live by 19th September)

We welcome and congratulate David, Nikolai and Jen & Jono to the ranks of those who have opted for a Vauewebsites-developed site powered by Woogloo.com.

The Premier Racing Club based in Wellington have opted to go further than some by utilising the CRM, Statement/Invoice, Diary/Calendar and News Manager Woogloo system plugins. This ecommerce-enabled site offers an annual membership to those who want an interest in thoroughbred horse racing and to benefit from a range of features, including a share in any prize money the Club's horses may win. We wish them well as they officially launch on the 19th September - the day their first horse 'Premier Lady' runs her first race at Riccarton.

The Christchurch-based Siberian site offers a range of unique health promoting services including visceral massage for women, therapeutic massage and Reiki therapy.

The Levin Anglicans have boldly re-launched their site with the benfit of the extensive range of features that come with the Woogloo basic system. Already they have audio onsite and are considering video too.

You may be aware of, or had experience with, Google Analytics - the statistical analysis tool that can be used with any website. Google's promo of this powerful tool runs like this,

"Google Analytics is the enterprise-class web analytics solution that gives you rich insights into your website traffic and marketing effectiveness. Powerful, flexible and easy-to-use features now let you see and analyze your traffic data in an entirely new way. With Google Analytics, you're more prepared to write better-targeted ads, strengthen your marketing initiatives and create higher converting websites."

We have decided to incorporate Google Analytics into any website we develop valued over $1,000 - including the special package deals - the Starter and the NPO, Community & Church Groups packages. Otherwise we can add it to your site for $50+GST.

Have a great Spring,
