Services
Whether you are looking to have a website made for the very first time or you have an existing website that needs a facelift, Senlin Online can help you to get the desired result.
We have many years experience and although most of the websites we develop are built upon a so called CMS (Content Management System), for smaller projects we haven’t lost our hand-code skills. As you will see, we are very dedicated to getting your website higher in the results of the search engines; this SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is standard part of any development work we do for you.
At the bottom of this page you can read more about hosting possibilities we offer and we can assist with purchasing your domain name as well.
Yes, we want a website. Now what?
After our initial conversations we write a brief and highlight the most important aspects of your new website. Then we start looking for a design that comes closest to where you feel yourself comfortable with. One of the advantages of working with WordPress is that there are literally thousands of templates available and those can all be adapted to to your exact wishes. In this process we also advise you on what works and what doesn’t and we can give you tips on things to add to your website.
It can also happen that you have a very good idea of what you want, you might even already have a design. In those cases we translate your ideas into a custom-made WordPress theme and add to that all the functionality needed to result into a perfectly working and performing website.
When the website is finished we give you a live training to get to know your new website. We don’t expect you to memorise all this new information immediately, therefore we also send you the 40 page tutorial “WordPress for Beginners” that we have developed for our clients.
New look without downtime
Something that seems to be one of the biggest hurdles for companies with an existing website, is that they don’t want any downtime. With the Sandbox of Senlin Online we will develop your entire new site on a sub-domain of our website. In this Sandbox we can create the exact environment as on the server where your website is running on. This way we can develop and test your new website thoroughly and only after you give us the green light, will we switch the new site to your server.
If you still like your current website, but you have realised that the way it is programmed is not exactly up-to-date, Senlin Online can help you to re-code your current site into a fully functional Content Management System. Of course at the same time we take care of the probably much needed Search Engine Optimisation!
Domain Name & Website Hosting
When you want a website, you first need to register a domain name. For domain registration we can recommend NameCheap.com.
Some companies offer domain name registration on behalf of the client, but we find that unethical. The domain name belongs to you, the client, therefore it would be weird if we would register the domain name for you. If you need any assistance registering your domain, we are of course there for you to guide you through the process. It usually takes under 2 minutes to register your domain.
Many people are unaware of the fact that having a website and having an online presence are not the same thing. For your website to be visible, you also need website hosting. There are many companies that offer web hosting and you can choose to arrange it yourself. Websites that are built on WordPress need a certain environment, so it is always good to ask us for the details.
A couple of companies that offer hosting, are reliable with 99% or more uptime and are suitable for WordPress, are:
If you are not so tech savvy, you can also choose to let us take care of it for you.
