I recently stumbled upon Mr Paul Parker’s website (Manx artist) his site can be found here. Anyway his painting are amazing – colours are vibrant and exciting. Does he need help from Web Solutions?
I thought he might want his website upgraded so I sent him an email
Reply from Mr Parker “I had thought about it. But the site just sits there and sells the odd print – and you think well next week, but it never happens.”

Hi Paul
Your comments sum up many businesses opinion of their websites – We all hear of the Billions of £/$ that are spent through the internet each year and every online business hope’s for a bit of this. In reality only a tiny percentage of proactive ecommerce businesses succeed.
I have (this morning) tried a number of Google searches looking for your website including artist iom, paintings iom and pantings isle of man plus a few more – Your website did not feature on the first page for any of these.
There have been many reports on ecommerce stating that about 85% of every ecommerce sale starts with a search phrase.
I have spent more hours than I care to remember developing methods of working with search engines to deliver well placed websites on target search phrases.
My findings (not to give away all my secretsJ)
- Search engines like new / changing content
- You need to introduce and add new and relevant search phrases into your site
- Your site needs to be manually added to the leading web directories as this adds weight and authority to your site. – And a word of warning do not consider a quick fix: get your site into 100 / 1000 / 10 000 directories for a few £/$ as this could actually lead to your site being delisted from major search engines.
Solution:
We base our business on long term relationships with our customers – We work hard and as you know hand work does bring results . I suggest you consider taking one of our marketing subscriptions , which start at only £ 50.00 per month. We can actually upgrade your site as part of an ongoing subscription.
