I know at times it looks like what website designers and developers do is black magic. So, to explain everything we do when Web Prophets creates a website for you we thought we would break down the 10 steps of planning your website project.
Think about what you want the website to do for your business. Write this down and do research to find out how you can set up your website to achieve your goals.
Make sure you have links from allied partners, industry associations & business directory websites linking back to your website. The more you have of these the more valuable your site is rated by Google.
Make sure Google knows about all of the pages on your website. You can submit a Sitemap at the Google Webmaster Tools. Google uses your Sitemap to learn about the structure of your site and to increase coverage of your webpages. The system of lodgement requires an XML file - if you do not know how to create one, let Web Prophets know and they can set one up for you.
Below are 10 tips to help your rankings in Google...
Here some tips on how to register a domain name and more importantly how to pick the right domain name for your business.
If you are registering a ‘.com.au’ domain name you will need:
- A Registered Business Name or Company Name that is similar to the name you want to register. For example AB CD Pty Ltd can register www.abcd.com.au
- A Registered Business Name Number or Company Number
If you are registering a '.com' or any other US Based Domains Name you don't need either of the above two items.
Register your own domain name. This will also protect you if you ever need to change your Internet Service Provider as you will always be able to keep your Domain Name Email Address (i.e. yourname@yourname.com.au).
Make sure you set up your email address properly so that when you send email addresses the receiver sees yourname@yourname.com.au. This will provide a professional image when potential and regular customers see your email (believe me I know a lot of businesses that don't do this even though they own their Domain Name). You can normally set this up in the Tools > Accounts menu of your email browser.
Here are 10 tips to help you with managing your emails, aliases, email signatures and SPAM.
The Web Prophet's team had a great day celebrating 15 years with family, friends, colleagues and clients.
There was lawn bowls, amazing food, live music, a magician and Mr. Whippy for the kids (which the adults enjoyed too!).
If you have not heard yet websites in Australia should now be developed with Accessibility in mind. Accessibility for a website means providing access to information for all users, including those with a disability.
The standards for this is outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2 (WCAG 2.0), developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Since the very start in 1999, Web Prophets has been committed to supporting its local community.
In the 2013/14 year we formalised this support by offering a 25% discount to all of our NFP customers on any of our services. The support we have offered has included services in website design & development, hosting, technical support / systems administration and Etools emarketing services.

Arts Project Australia required a new fresh website that would help it promote its key activities. As a studio space and gallery for practicing artists with disabilities, the site also promotes online sales for artworks, upcoming exhibitions and events. Arts Project Australia also utilises Web Prophets Enews Manager for broadcast enews to its membership, patrons and supporters.
