Professional Websites

Services

Businesses around the world are seizing the huge potential of being online, to advertise and sell through a website and connect with their audience on social media.  Now is the time for Rwanda to go digital and compete on the world stage.

Hotels need to be able to allow clients to book a room using their website.  Stores can easily sell their products through their website without needing a huge physical store.  Non-profits can keep their donors informed and receive donations through their websites.  Universities can facilitate their students’ learning and list information about their courses.

 

Are you thinking of creating a website?

If you are planning to create a website to effectively advertise your business or organization, there are many things to get right.  If you have a fancy design, but your branding is poor, it will hurt your reputation with your potential clients.  

Paul Web Design Rwanda can help you through the whole process of getting a website – planning, design, building the website, installing a Content Management System so it can be easily updated, and getting the website listed on search engines like Google and Bing.

Website Project Checklist

Here is a checklist we go through for each project we do.  No project is either too big or too small to benefit from this thorough treatment, which ensures that nothing is forgotten.

When you start on your project, we will ensure that you have completed all of these important steps:

  • Articulate a compelling purpose, expressed by your vision statement
  • Devise a strong business case, which clearly defines your unique selling points
  • Identify your target audience(s)
  • Devise an effective strategy to reach each of those audiences

Create the Website Design

  • Review your competition to plan how to position your brand
  • Identify the key actions you want visitors to take, and plan the flow they will take on the website

  • Create rich, original content which will make your website standout, including well written text, images and videos
  • Craft a beautiful design that is equally easy to use

Build the website

  • Brainstorms all ways the website can help your business grow:
  • Could you sell your products through an e-Commerce store?
