As an introduction to Symbiation's services, we are offering the following special offers:

Up-to-date homepage

The problem
A company's homepage is its face to the world and the starting point for most user visits. Improving your homepage multiplies the entire website's business value (Jakob Nielsen – May 2002).

Web content quickly grows stale and becomes out-of-date. Many Web sites have out-of-date content because it is too time-consuming, complicated, or expensive to change. Unfortunately, today’s Internet audience expect to have access the latest information immediately. In order to be a success, your site must provide the right information to the right audience at the right time.

The solution
Web Content Management Systems (CMS) help companies maintain and manage Web sites without the assistance of IT/Web staff. A CMS allows non-technical staff to add or modify content in a secure, controlled way. There is no need to master HTML or complicated Web scripting languages, or to wait for IT or the Webmaster to make the changes. A CMS is efficient, cost effective, and easy to integrate and use.

For a limited time only, Symbiation can provide you with an administrable homepage, allowing you to reduce cost, decrease update time, and automatically publish content from as little as AU$495.

Dropdown Menus

The problem
Navigating hypertext places heavy mental loads on Internet users. It is important to try to provide as much visual support and context as possible to help orient users and to minimise the disruptive effects of jumping from one place to another.

Many navigational systems are confusing or too vague. In fact, 58% of users will make two or more navigational errors while searching for information (Forsythe, et al., 1996) and 66.8% of users have stated that one of the greatest problems about the Web is "not being able to find the information that I am looking for" (GVU, 1998).

The main difficulty arises from disorientation or the feeling of being "lost-in-hypertext”. These problems arise from an unfamiliarity with the structure or conceptual organization of the site.

The solution
By providing a rich set of visual, drop-down navigation for your site, you will be providing your site users with a sense of your site's organisation, making the logic and order of your site visually explicit. This will help direct users deeper into your site, weaning them away from the general-purpose homepage, and directing them to the specific content they desire. They will be able to see what is available within your site and make an informed decision as to which link to follow first.

For a limited time only, Symbiation will provide your web site with a comprehensive drop down navigation system from as little AU$495. (An example of the navigation on offer, has been used on this site)
