NEWS: If you missed the one day course Making Your Website Pay presented on behalf of HIE Skye and Wester Ross by Skye Website Services in Portree (March 2007) and Ullapool (February 2008), please register your interest now."Just what I needed to improve my web site - A very professional approach - This is a 'must do' workshop for any small business wanting to gain full potential from their web site", John Cross, Director, John Cross Clinics, March 2007.

 

Great website? Few visitors? Even fewer sales or bookings? I can help you get more visitors to your website; not just any visitors, but visitors who are looking for the kinds of products and services that you supply. And I can do this at a surprisingly low cost.

I also specialise in optimising your website so that it gets a higher position in the "organic" listings within Google and other search engines, for relevant search phrases.

 

Beware of promises of "guaranteed No.1 results on Google". There is massive competition for search engine positioning for all but the most obscure search phrases these days. Tricks often have to be resorted to in order to produce results. It is often not easy to obtain reliable, meaningful, legitimate results without considerable investment of time and effort, therefore I recommend you also look at the alternative, namely advertising on search engines via sponsored links as well as my page on search engine optimisation.

Training Services

"We have found the assistance provided by Skye Website Services to be friendly, very efficient and comprehensive. The level of support, including follow up, has been has been of top quality.", Joyce & Brian Heggie Knott Cottage Self Catering, November 2007.

 

If you prefer to take more control over your website and its promotion, I can provide one-to-one training in website management, development, optimisation, advertising and marketing, customised to your particular requirements, either here or at your place of work. A reasonable degree of post-training telephone / email support is included too.

 

Starting Pay Per Click Advertising from scratch

 

The training includes the setting up of the PPC campaign itself, although it does not involve the actual advertising costs. I suggest three training sessions with at least a week in between each session.  

 

Improving Your Use of Pay Per Click Advertising

 

If you already have a PPC campaign running, then this package is for you. I suggest two training sessions spaced out over a period of at least a week.  

 

Website Management

 

If you do not yet know how to maintain your website, I offer training in all the main aspects of updating your site. I recommend three training sessions which can be on consecutive days if you wish. 

 

Search Engine Optimisation

 

If you already know how to update your website, I can train you how to optimise your website for search engines. Typically, a single day's training should be sufficient to show you how to do it. However, bear in mind that you will have a lot of work to do on your own afterwards to make the knowledge you will gain effective!  

 

 

 

Website Consultancy

 

 

Perhaps your website is getting plenty of visitors, but your sales and / or bookings are low. My expert website consultancy service can provide you with recommendations on how to improve your website, and also the means of implementation through my own services and those of other local contractors with whom I work.

 

"Last year our bookings were slow. We called in Alasdair to provide website consultancy and training in pay per click advertising. We implemented his website recommendations, and applied his advertising system. Since then our bookings have increased considerably."
