Website Design

Does the calendar read Spring but your big expensive website is still wishing your customers a Happy New Year? At New Tricks, we build websites using WordPress, the traditional blogging platform now being used as a fully functioning content management system (CMS), letting you build and manage your site without blowing your budget.

If you can send an email or use MS Word, we can show you how to use WordPress.

What We Do

At New Tricks we specialize in creating custom designed blogs for general blogging or for commercial purposes. These sites can include online magazine style commercial blogs, stores fitted with e-commerce, sites for podcasting and videos as well as portfolio type sites for photographers, musicians, actors, and artists.

With our business experience and understanding of marketing and design, New Tricks is able to help you to realize your project requirements in no time. We will develop a well built site for you, that is user friendly and will help you meet your goals.

Business as usual is a thing of the past. It’s no longer cost effective to drive everywhere to do business and you can’t depend on your customers coming to you. Fortunately the Internet has made it easier than ever to work from wherever you are. But to be successful you must do it right. Your nephew or brother-in-law is probably not going to be able to give you a site that is going to work for you. We have found that approach will ultimately set you back.

Five key ingredients to websites today

1. content management,
2. design,
3. two-way conversation,
4. accessibility,
5. maintenance.

If you’re on a tight budget — as most people are — you’re going to need a flexible solution that can effectively provide for your website’s needs. New Tricks can build you a site based on cutting edge content management while lowering your long-term costs by using WordPress as the platform for your website’s back-end. Wordpress gives you full control of all your content and updating. This means less — or nothing — spent on monthly maintenance.

The New Tricks team will develop a site that is custom tailored, for you and prides itself in being at the forefront of web design trends and functionality. All our websites are search engine optimized (SEO) and can be fitted with all the latest social bookmarking tools. A specialty of ours is tying your site into Twitter and Facebook and teaching you how to use online marketing strategies to increase business. You can check out our portfolio which reflects a range of designs and businesses, from blogs, to music production, hospitality industry, artists, therapists and design studios.

The Time is Now

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to invest in a website, now’s the time to do it. New Tricks will help you to develop your internet presence and identity so that you can reach millions of people worldwide. Getting a quote for your project is quick and easy. Just send us an e-mail with your project description and we’ll contact you within 24 hours to discuss it and give you a reasonable quote for your project.

Marketing

People like to shop or use services from people they know or their friends know. Let us help you harness the power of Social Media Marketing. We can work with you to develop a strategy to get your message out through blogging, twitter, and e-mail marketing campaigns. If you need help with your content we can write bios, press releases, articles and marketing plans.

We can help you get the word out!

Training

The great thing about CMS platform websites is that you have total control in managing your site. New Tricks offers workshops and individual training to walk you through setting up, managing and optimizing your site. Of course, if  you prefer, we can do it all for you. But trust us, jumping through hoops has never been easier!

New Tricks has your training and maintenance needs covered.

Every New Tricks Website/Blog / CMS Site Set-up, comes with 2 hours of hands-on training and a complementary membership to our Monthly Marketing Networking Group.

We also offer 2 hour bootcamps for those seeking training on Social Media tools like Wordpress.com (the hosted version of WordPress), Facebook or Twitter. Contact us for the current camp schedule.
