Website Design and SEO

We are starting to build the site for your approval and need some good quality images of a similar size to the ones on that site.

Well the look for this web site definitely marine life for diving, but not sure how that looks… Maybe like a deep drop to black deep water from clear blue on surface, with depths marked as on a sonar style in LCD graphics. Maybe better if you let you graphics person come up with some ideas that I can look at? Here are some questions.

1, Is there anything on your site you DONT want on the new one ?

2, Is there anything you want to feature / show prominently ?

3, Can you get to work (or get one of your Tech instructors) to work on some FAQs for the site the more the better as FAQs are great for SEO

4, Also do you want to add any guides to tech diving or update your own ones ? tech diving

5, Have you got a TAT licence and number ? is so what is it

6, Assume you want the website is English and French again ? I will complete the English then duplicate if for the french site and leave you to do the translation

7, Do you want to advertise diving internships ? Obviously need text / information if you do

8, can you email all old customers and ask for testimonials, this is something I asked other PADI dive centre owners to do and we have got loads of testimonials (free useful content for SEO and marketting)

9, Would you consider doing a video for your site? video has great SEO benefits

For the photos, I have a few and will start sending them to you, one by one.

So to reply to your questions:

1. Replied in last mail (the hotels and service)
2. This site is focused on scuba dive education and PADI diving in general
3. FAQ in progress
4. Yes of course, I tried this in the overview section of courses
5. TAT licence number given
6. Yes sure I really want the French market but would love to get more of the UK market, just because I really dislike the other dive companies here.
7. Yes dive interships are great, would like…
8. Testimonial we can get. Will contact my previous students for that.
9. Video is harder but we can organize that

Just found a problem with your site and was going to update it, What is the situation with the website ? I havent had a reply to any emails for a while, I see that you have now changed the ftp details / control panel details and we no longer are able to update your site.

The following is your improved rankings since we started doing your site in November 08, as you can see you have had massive gains and we would like to complete the SEO program as agreed

I am still updating the French pages and finishing linking all the English pages to go to the french directory. Please tell me what you are changing so I don’t overwrite? I hope to be done with this process within a few weeks and finally we can for the SEO when all works?

Hosting

Verio, I see their Unix Basic package (couldnt see bronze) its $9.95 a month which is a bit expensive but not that terrible if you can host multiple domains on it , you can obviously always find cheaper but if costs $120 per year for a good service then that is worth considering but i always like to look to see what choices there are.

I see they have won awards in 2008 and they seem reliable and well reviewed. I would say lets re-review it a month before your contract is up with them. I think I have just found out why the hosting cost is so expensive, it looks to me like you have your own dedicated server. This is a massively too much server power for a non-database / business site and that is defiantly a way to save money when it comes around for renew the service

Look forward to the transfer I will check on Wednesday and Thursday and tell you when it arrives, if you sort out your ftp details (website access details – we can make a start )

Will need the FTP account details for your website ( so we can download it (for all the text and images) and so we can upload the new pages.

Do you have any specific look of a website in mind ? if so can you describe or show a website you like the look of and specifically  what colours have you got in mind, do you have a company logo ? and do you have it stored electronically, if so please send

French market

You have the option to target specific markets for each of your domains and you can change these which is an easy thing to do, its suitable that you have .com domains and I can show you what we do to target spefic markets once we start.

Invoice

Hope this invoice is acceptable, If not i can amend We have office 2007 here which uses the new .xlsx and .docx format for excel and word so I include the invoice from this version and the older office (97 – 2003)

Website Look

Will put a lot of effort into these and will let you have the deciding vote as to how we proceed, would you have any sites you love the look of that we can use to give us an idea already ?

Well the look for this web site definitely tec, but not sure how that looks… Maybe like a deep drop to black deep water from clear blue on surface, with depths marked as on a sonar style in LCD graphics. Maybe better if you let you graphics person come up with some ideas that I can look at?
