Website Developers - Building a Website that's Right for You
A website often informs your audience’s first impression of your business. Whether it comes from a networking event, a billboard, Google Search or an Instagram post, a website is central to your marketing and branding exercises. User-friendly design and great web development are key to a solid outcome. This allows you to maintain and monitor your business’s growth most effectively.
Our strong web development team is our pride and joy. We refer here to our ‘web nerds’ who can customise websites and help to reduce your administration timeframes — without breaking a sweat! We integrate 3rd party applications such as Point of Sales (POS), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Automated Marketing, Email Software, Social Media feeds and much more. They are worked seamlessly into your website, or a central Content Management System (CMS). You have the ability to update and edit on the go (with no need for outside assistance). We also offer consulting services for web training and digital marketing.
This is core to our philosophy of giving back capability to our clients for basic tasks online. That’s so we can concentrate on the more complex and technical web development and YOU can concentrate on business-at-hand! Common CMS platforms that we work with include WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Big Cartel, Shopify, and more.
For the tech history buffs: Eightball originally started out developing on the Mambo CMS platform, by the ‘old boys of the business’. Mambo was one of the early CMS platforms, that existed back in the mid-to-late 2000’s (before the invention of WordPress and Joomla)! With an appetite for learning and a thirst for staying ahead…of the ahem, eightball… our team’s expertise keeps expanding with each and every wonderful website that they deliver.

The Wrap Session may involve competitor analysis and mobile website strategy. It will answer such question as to how enquiries are stored online, SEO and Google Rank, what images to use, content, past and present advertising material and anything else we might need to be created your business' optimal online presence. Most importantly, it is the best way for our team to gain a solid comprehension of your products and services.
Our technical and creative teams aim at producing the most appropriate and appealing web content for your target audience. As part of our initial website planning, we encourage our customers to work with us to develop Buyer Personas. This is essentially a checklist which functions to highlight the exact characteristics and motives of your ideal demographic. This will provide direction and impart meaning into a comprehensive web marketing strategy.
