The recession is making companies look at reducing their expenses. Unfortunately over the years there have been many incompetent web companies in New Zealand charging for ineffective services.

Below is a list of some suggestions that will enable you to reduce your costs immediately.

1. 1. If you are paying more than $NZ35.00 (ex gst) per annum for your .nz domain or more than $20.00 per annum for your .com you are paying too much.
2. If you are paying more than $20.00 per month for Web Hosting you are paying too much.
3.  If you are paying for a new email address to be added you have the wrong hosting company.
4. Do you pay license fees for FTP software. There are plenty of free options such as FileZilla FTP that are equal or better than the commercial equivalents.
5. Online advertising campaigns can be costly and inefficient if they are not carefully analysed. Google provide detailed analysis of your campaigns as does FaceBook.com.
6. If you are paying your web developer and hourly rate for site modifications you are being taken advantage of.
7. If you are paying more than $40 per hour for a web developer – it is time to source a new developer.
8.  There is no need to spend thousands of dollars on developing and maintaining a new e-commerce web site. There are many free options to create e-commerce web sites. The cost is in customising the site to your organisation
