SELF
Q. Tell us something about you – your philosophy, your lifestyle, your ethics, your hobbies etc
A. I’m passionate about getting businesses online to realise their full potential. I love to do fun things with my wife and sons, going to the beach, riding trains, watching animals – things you do with young kids. I also enjoy photography, travelling and great food.

BUSINESS DETAILS
Q. What is it that your Melbourne web designer business does?
A. Our Melbourne web designer business takes average web sites and typically increases visitor conversion by 300 - 500%. Our expertise is grabbing a visitor’s attention right from the start and establishing trust as fast as possible. We also build stronger online marketing profiles by using tools like Google Local and Facebook to dramatically increase traffic to a web site.

Q. What makes your Melbourne web designer business unique?
A. Our Melbourne web designer business focuses on web site profitability and excellent customer service. Our sites don’t just look good, they also generate a healthy amount of profit. And we go out of our way to help existing clients building a stronger web presence. And if you get a web site from us, we bribe you with a box of Haighs Chocolates.

MARKETING
Q. What is the most important Marketing/Networking tool/strategy your Melbourne web designer business has had success with?
A. The most successful tool our Melbourne web designer business uses is to give a free sample of our abilities and then relentlessly follow-up. Word-of-mouth and strategic alliances also work well.

SUPPORT
Q. What is it you are looking for as a member of HBBA?
A. Meeting interesting people mainly. Also, learning some new skills from other people’s experiences.

Q. What is it you can offer to HBBA members?
A. I can offer education about online marketing with a focus on building profitable web sites and social media. If you’re selling everyday products and services and want to know how to get more customers using online marketing tools (web sites, social media, search engines) feel free to get in touch. Also, if you feel a web designer would be a good strategic alliance to your business, I would also love to hear from you.

Q. How do you envisage demonstrating your support and loyalty to the association of HBBA?
A. I can offer free advice via the forums and I will attend the networking functions.
