All websites need to be hosted on a server. This is called web hosting and there is usually an anual fee for hosting your website.
We will clearly explain all of the web hosing features available and you can choose whether to manage these features in-house or we can do this for you - you have complete choice and control. No gimmicks, no jargon, no hidden extras. SLK offers help and support when and where you need it at a price you can afford every time.

Having a website is the first step. Next you need to attract people to your site and they need to be able to find you easily. A number of methods are used to achieve this such as website optimisation, link building, social media marketing, pay per click, banner ads, copywriting and accessibility.
SLK will guide you through all of these methods and their benefits and work with you to develop a plan to ensure your website has a leading market presence.

WHy is an online market presence important?

SLK is an established Training & Consultancy involved in the personalisation of adult social care and support services. We know that the personalisation agenda requires a major shift in the way care and support providers operate, develop and attract potential customers to both new and existing services.

Local Authority Commissioners will no longer decide who provides care and support services. Service Users become direct customers and will make their own choices with the support of friends, family, advice agencies and support brokers.

Social care departments country wide are already in the process of transformation, developing an infrastructure that gives customers control of their own care and support. More and more people are being given their own budget to spend on achieving identified outcomes, they have full choice and control over the services they choose to buy into and that means your service needs to have a strong online presence to attract new customers in the developing market place.

How will your business be recognised by potential customers?

Now is the time to develop your business brand - developing a brand makes you instantly recognisable and easily identifiable. You will understand what makes your business different to your competitors, what makes you unique, why customers should buy from you.

How will customers find out about the services you provide?

You will need a website that promotes your brand and clearly explains what customers can expect if they buy into your service. Your website will help potential customers get a better understanding of how you could care for and support them

How will customers find out about what other services are available locally?

The quickest and most likely way for customers, friends, family, advice agencies and support brokers to find out about local services is by searching the internet. Thats why your business needs to have a strong online presence.

Potential customers and their supporters will have access to the internet in council offices, libraries and other community based services and will use the internet directly or indirectly to research local service provision

You will need a website that can be easily found, is accessible and tells people what they need to know so that they can decide to contact you.

Your website is just one of the new ways you will reach out and market to potential customers and their supporters

How can you be sure of attracting customers in the future?

You will need to develop a plan that helps you and your team to focus on the implications and opportunities that personalisation presents. Building your website will be part of a wider plan to market your services and attract new customers. Other elements of your plan will include making sure that your site ranks highly on the internet, promoting your strengths and working on weaknesses, developing local networks and working relationships with key individuals and services locally, reporting your successes, ensuring customer satisfaction and high quality service provision. SLK will support you through all of these challenges, we will guide you gently and help you maximise on the many opportunities that personalisation brings to the sector.

secure your domain name

Choosing your domain name is very important. Your domain name needs to fit with your business brand, if you search for SLK Consultancy in Google for example, you will find our website easily, www.slk-consultancy.org.uk.

In care and support services the most popular domain addresses end in: .co.uk, .org.uk or .com

The name that you use to advertise your business is the name that you will want for your domain, because that is the first thing that people will try in their browser. It is also easier to remember.

If your business is called "support 4 you" then you will want a domain name such as:

support4you.org.uk, support4you.co.uk, support4you.com

If the name you want is already taken, you can try to find an alternative or contact the owner to see if they would sell you the address (usually more expensive option even if they do want to sell it).

Contact us and we can help you choose the right domain name to ensure your business is easily found and the web address easily remembered
