TOTAL WEB & BRANDING SOLUTIONS

Ever thought of turning a hobby into a business?
Many enterprising entrepreneurs have taken the plunge and have moved away from their monotonous office job and built up successful business doing the things they like.
Hobbies could include Stamp collections, hand made crochet items, or home baked items.
Research shows that people are more successful when doing what they have a passion for.
So how do you do this. The answer is you build a website.
The web is full of people with different interests and you are bound to find other people with similar needs and interests.
The website could be an e commerce site selling a product or products locally or overseas.
It could be an advice site and the money could made on chargeable listings or advertising.
Engage them with a dynamic site a discussion forum, a blog with ideas from the expert ( you!)and useful hints.
All successful businesses started small.
Some of the best known high street brands started off small.
Marks and spencer started as a market cart.
Your website can be the market cart that will one day bring in millions.

Who do you trust with your website creation? “Oh I use Jack, he’s my brother-in-laws second cousin by marriage” – The chances are the answer is you would choose someone you know or have been recommended to.
Why is this? Firstly because there are millions of web companies out there, why would I choose one over the other, secondly I will need them to be available to maintain, fix or update the website in the future. For that reason the company you have chosen is likely to be someone local to you or your company so that you are reassured that he is contactable when you need him or her. There is one important ingredient not to be overlooked and that is track record. How can you be sure that Jack will still be there in a couple of years from now to fix a bug or virus in your site. So rather than use Jack use VMAL! VMAL is a company based in North West London and covers nearby areas of Hendon NW4, Golders Green NW11, Hampstead, St Johns Wood and the rest of London, we even create sites overseas. We have been around for a decade and most of our business is recommendation.

It used to be the case that all sites had a Flash intro, then they introduced the skip intro button! The natural succession to that was to skip having flash intros.
The “Google generation” nowadays have a very low attention span and need to get to what they are looking for within a couple of seconds. A “flashy” Flash intro will really have to impress to be of any value.
If you have to have Flash, a good compromise is to have Flash embedded in your site so that the user can navigate your site if they choose not to view your mind blowing Flash creation. The upside to that is that rather than just impressing the user you might get some business from the site if they find your contact us page…
