To have a web site designed is only the first step in presenting that site to the public and use it as a productive and effective business tool. A web site needs a name, a home on the Internet and a way for other people to find it. This would mean a Domain Name needs to be registered (Name), Web Hosting needs to be arranged (Home) and the web site need to marketed and promoted through search engines. We offer fully customisable a few standard packages for this purpose, but please note that these can be customised according to the client's needs.

• Domain Name Registration

• Web Site Hosting Services

• E-Cards (Electronic Business Cards)

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a naming system for web sites and is used in the web site addresses on the Internet. For example, adzafrica.co.za is the domain for Adzafrica and is used in the web site address www.adzafrica.com. Adzafrica offers Domain Name Registration for all Top Level Domain Names (.com, .org, .net, etc.) and Local Domain Names (.co.za, .co.bw, etc.) [Back]

The last step to having a web site available on the Internet is to effectively market and promote the web site on the Search Engines of the Internet. Search Engines are powerful Internet Servers that enables web surfers to locate web sites by typing in keywords to search for web content. If a web site is effectively marketed and promoted, then the web site will never be found by the Internet Users. We offer various options ranging in price to suite the needs of all our clients.

Due to the increasing need for faster, better looking and visually appealing web sites, it is necessary to use professionally designed graphics in a web site. For example, a company's logo is a very important aspect of a web site. It is essentially the identity of a company. Something which a prospective customer should remember. It is therefore important to design images that will create a lasting impression with a web surfer, in order for that person to return to the web site. We have professional, qualified graphic designers capable of producing unique and above average images and animations. [Back]

A fairly new concept on the Internet, but something that can make a big difference in a company's image, is Electronic Stationery. Used with e-mail systems it gives a normally dull-looking e-mail an attractive look that will carry the image of a company over to whoever receives the e-mail. For example, the company Logo can be used, together with a unique background design to use as a template for all e-mail sent by any member of a company. [Back]

It had to happen on the Internet! A traditional and effective aspect of every day business is the Business Card. People give and receive business cards every day, every where to each other. Now you can have your printed business cards turned into E-Cards or Electronic Business Cards and e-mail them to your customers, or even have it as a downloadable option on your web site. These cards are very small in size, but are designed to be visually effective and contains all relevant contact details. Just like it's printed big brother. [Back]
