Custom Solutions

We can provide customised solutions that use the internet as a secure and confidential link between you and your clients.

The purpose of a website is not just to market your business, but to assist and run it. A website isn't just a website, it can be an operations system, an IT system, a marketing system or a management system. If it's done right, it can provide benefits throughout all areas of the organisation.

If your organisation is spending a lot of its time dealing with enquiries, for example, we can take out 80 to 90 percent of that time, as well as automating other parts of the business. There may be an area of your business that, by allowing your clients to access it, saves you both time and money in terms of personnel.

Our web based solutions are broad in scope, and can bring your business forward without you losing that all important contact with key clients.

Search Engine Optimisation

With mail order sales and online advertising becoming increasingly competitive, standing out from the competition and ranking well in search engines has never been more important.

So imagine the extra interest your website would get if you were higher up on the search results page in Google. SEO is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a website from search engines via natural ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results.

Zenago offers specialist SEO consultation as an additional service, offering a basic analysis at a low cost. From here, we are able to work on an hourly basis meaning performance is measurable and costs are manageable.
