Do you need a website designer to create a website for you?

Winch Websites can very quickly build you a full-function website, complete with professional "look and feel". Our particular specialisation is

• the Joomla content management system, an all-in-one website technology package that makes it easy to add, update or remove your website content yourself if you want - no need to pay or wait for website professionals to do it for you! Take full control of your own website using facilities very similar to word-processing software, and do it all online with your favourite web browser.
• the OScommerce online shop package, another website technology "in a box" that allows you to create a full-service webstore complete with product details, shopping cart, payment facilities and even customer registrations and follow-up marketing. An exceptionally powerful online shop that will cater for as many product & service categories as you want, optional customer reviews, and can include stock control (the system will reduce stock counts each time an item is purchased, and warn you when stock is low).

The best thing about these packages is that they are FREE! All you pay for is the time taken to install, customise & configure, and if requested fill with "content".

The Joomla system is particularly suited to informational websites. Its strength is the number of additional features that can be added - many are free of charge, so all you would pay for is our time to install and configure them. Features include image (picture) galleries, calendars, e-cards, weathers and many more (see historicwinchelsea.com.au for some of these optional extras). The Joomla system can allow visitor registrations, and you can restrict parts of the website to registered visitors only. One notable feature is Joomla's Templates facility - change the look of the entire website with a couple of clicks. A very powerful yet easy to manage website.

The OScommerce system is likely to give you everything you need in an online store. Tax calculations, delivery charges, integration with payment gateways (such as PayPal or Australia's larger banks), it's pretty much all there.

Winch Websites recognises that choosing a website designer and having a website built can be difficult - there are many choices, technical and otherwise. To encourage you to give Winch Websites a try, we offer one month's free hosting and 2 hours free website design if you opt to pay annually. That's enough to get a basic website up and running (half a dozen webpages or so) and long enough for you to get a feel for how you like the system (and us!).
