Melbourne Business Coach website and example of a single page site.

The Melbourne Business Coach site www.MelbourneCoach.Business was created to illustrate an example of a one page site that does not need to be expensive to create. Often businesses are reluctant to have a presence on the internet because there's a lot of people who will simply rip them off.

The Melbourne Business Coach site was created based on a PDF provided by Gary Hipworth of Maverick Solutions. If you already have marketing material you're happy to hand out, as is the case with this PDF, then you can cost effectively use existing material to create your site. This approach is a good first step onto the internet.

I often do this for existing clients. In rough terms the following are the costs. The creation of a single page site based on existing material in electronic format takes 1-1.5 hours. Hosting is available for around $10 per month and the domain costs under $20 per year. In effect a business can be up and going with the upfront cost of $150-$210. Then an ongoing cost of around $10 per month for hosting.

Generally I've not found web developers who are interested in dealing with clients who wish to spend so little. In addition most web developers want to tie clients in with hosting or other services. My approach is to do everything in the client's name so they retain total control. They are not tied into Online Connections in any way and are welcome to use another business for future work. Of course it is hoped the client will continue to use Online Connections, but ultimately that is their choice because they want to, not because they have to.

Clients of Online Connections wanting a low cost internet presence are welcome to contact me. Keep in mind this is a first step. If you want something more extensive then you should discuss that with a web developer.

PS. This example site has been created with the permission and material from Gary Hipworth for testing and demonstration purposes, but in this case, is owned by Online Connections.
