- Our tools are user
friendly and easy to use

anything like this before

Why do I need a website?
1. Any business owner should at least have an electronic brochure somewhere
in cyberspace. The internet is the first place where potential business
associates look to "check you out” (i.e. "Gooogle you”). A website is part of
your public image.
2. Most people will agree that the internet search
industry is like nothing else that we have ever seen (apart from maybe the whole
internet in itself). If a business ignores search engines (or the internet), it
is missing out on a market that is growing by the day.
3. A website is
a "silent salesman”; it gives potential customers the
opportunity to view your products and services from the comfort of their chairs.
Even though a business might not necessarily sell goods or services online, the
potential customer can make a decision online to visit you in person to do
business.
4. Because your competitors (with websites) will take away your
customers without you even knowing it. For example, who would have thought that
Ebay will become the biggest car dealer in the world?
5. The sooner you get a
website, the better you will fare in future internet searches. The older a
website, the better the search engines rank them. If you think that "in three
years time, I will need a website”, it is advisable to rather start today. In
three years time, it will be so competitive that you might not even "get in”
(i.e. your website will rank on page 100 of search results).
6. The days that
people look in the Telephone Directory for your phone number are so to say gone.
A growing number of people simply Google your name to get your phone number. If
they Google you and don’t find you, they might see your competitor in the search
results and then you might lose a loyal client.
7. A Website allows you to
compete with bigger and more established businesses.
8. You can save on
marketing and printing costs. A business can get a lot more bang for their buck
on the internet than any other method of marketing or advertising.
9. As fuel
costs and traffic increases (as well as internet access), more and more people
will prefer to first browse online before getting into their vehicles to drive
to the supplier.
10. Even though you might "be fully booked” and don’t need
any more customers, don’t you think that you can perhaps expand or increase your
gross profit?
11. A Website serves as a "communication tool” to keep your
stakeholders interested and informed about your business or organization.
12. The question is not to ask "Can I afford to have a web site?”, but rather "Can I afford not to have
a web site?”
Will my business be found by search engines when I get a Website with Kwikwap?
Absolutely yes, we guarantee results or your money back!
FAQ's I already have a website, why do I need a mobile one?
The Kwikwap websites have been designed to work fast and efficiently on all
devices (even old phones!) and specifically for people that search for
businesses on the mobile internet. A Normal website is not accessible from all
cell phones and it often takes very long to navigate.
Why do I need a website, more particularly a Google optimized website?
Do you ever use Google to find products and services or contact details of
businesses? If you answered yes, then you obviously understand that it is
important to have a good presence on the internet. If you have not heard of
Google then you have probably been on the moon for the last couple of years!
Google is now the world's biggest brand, second year in a row! If your website
is not found when searching on Google you are missing out on a lot of new
business. You might even be losing clients to your competitors and not even know
it. Having a good, search engine optimized, website is like having your company
brochure available to 2 billion internet users all around the world. OK, so you
won't sell a bicycle to someone in China, but nevertheless you need to be on the
internet as there are millions of internet searches done everyday right here in
South Africa.
Can my mobile enabled website also be viewed from a PC?
Yes, and your site, when viewed from a PC, will look like a normal website
How long does it take to get a mobile enabled website?
Under 5 minutes by following 5 simple steps. Depending on your ISP speed
How much do i need to know about programming to make websites?
Not a lot really, if you can surf the internet (and perhaps
use FAcebook) then we can make you a webmaster in a few hours!
Can one build forms with a Kwikwap website?
Yes you most definitely can. You may create as many forms as you like and the
forms are also available on your Mobile Website
Can people operate my website with one hand?
Yes, your mobile website was designed for easy operation with one hand and
without a mouse or stylus.
Why does my webmaster charge me?
Why does my webmaster charge me when I ask him/her to make change and why do
I have to wait so long for my webmaster to make changes to my website?
Because 99% of web masters have to make the changes manually which
takes time and therefore you may join the queue of clients who are waiting for
changes to take place.
How do you optimize your websites for search engines such as Google, Yahoo or Live?
This is a very advanced science called SEO (search engine optimization). This
science changes daily; the one day you think you have it covered and the next
day everything has changed.
One thing that is very important is not to try
and cheat the search engines. Also don't do flash as the search engines can't
read flash (flash are those nice moving pictures that some people have on their
websites; nice to look at but it is unlikely to bring you new business)! Then
the physical structure of your website should be correct and you should have
enough relative information on your website. Or just pay us R59+VAT per month
and you are sorted out; you can keep your old expensive website and get a
Kwikwap website as well! You can never get too much exposure on the
internet.
FAQ's Do I get an email address and email service included with the Kwikwap system?
The two higher packages (R99 and R150 per month + VAT) give you one personalized
email (e.g. info@yourdomain.co.za ) address included in the monthly fee. You can
purchase additional personalised email addresses between R25 and R15 per month +
VAT. Your website tool also has a bulk emailing facility included in the price.
I was born before computers, how do I make changes to my website?
You get a management tool (website) where you can make changes quickly and free
of charge. From the beginning it was our main aim to ensure that the management
tool is easy to understand. We tested our closest competitor's system and we are
glad to say that we are light years ahead, especially when it comes to ease of
use (not even to mention features). Our consultant will train you in the use of
the system
Can Kwikwap take over my existing website?
Yes, but it will have to be hosted on our server if you want all the features
and benefits of the Kwikwap system. You will unfortunately have to fit into the
Kwikwap framework (but don't worry we have thought of everything; if it is not
there we will add it). The transfer costs R165 once-off, the set-up fee will
depend on various factors, however we can promise you we won't rip you off.
Can you assist me in registering a new domain?
Yes, absolutely! It costs R175,44 + VAT (R200 inclusive) to register a domain
and the fee is payable every year. We can register .co.za, .com, .net, .info,
.mobi, .co.uk. Please phone 072 479 5166 or 021 761 3668 and I can advise you on what is
available as well as give you alternative suggestions.
What will my website address be if I get a website for R59+VAT per month?
Your website address will be for example www.kwikwap.co.za/abc , the abc
being a code that you choose. However, you can have a dedicated domain for R99
+VAT per month which we forward to your Kwikwap address. In fact you can do your
own forwarding to Kwikwap at your existing hosts and get the benefit of the
Kwikwap system then there are no extra fees payable to Kwikwap (i.e. your costs
still stay R59+VAT per month).
Can I get the benefits and features of the Kwikwap system with my own domain name?
Yes, you can have all the features of the Kwikwap website system and use it
all on your dedicated domain as long as your website is moved to our server
(which is lightning fast). The set-up cost of this is the same (R2,500) but the
monthly fee is R150+VAT.
How do I access the (mobile) internet with a cellular phone? How do I enable my cell phone for WAP?

I am a webmaster and I was wondering what the big deal is with "mobile websites"?
The thing is, every phone has a different browser and the "mobile webmaster"
should take this and a host of other factors into account.
What is the story with dot mobi (.mobi) websites, what does it mean?

a website that has been designed specifically for access by a cell phone. Dot
mobi is a world wide term that indicates that the particular .mobi website is
compatible with cell phones. Just let us do it for you! After all, R59 pm is
