Many Web sites fail the crucial test of genuinely adding value and repaying investment because there is insufficient depth to the Internet strategy. A Web site requires at least as much planning, accountability, research and monitoring as any other significant marketing spend. At Amber Innovation we focus on identifying the correct strategy from the start and pilot value adding concepts for this strategy, rather than just creating an Internet presence.

We can help you to manage a site that drives revenue while increasing customer loyalty and building strong customer relationships. To do this we work through your existing business processes, translating them into your online business or establishing new, more efficient processes where the technology is appropriate.

We spend considerable time understanding your business, your customers and what you wish to gain from an Internet presence. What are the goals for your site and what outcomes will constitute a success?

At the heart of our advice is the understanding of your existing business and modelling your customer interactions, then adapting and improving your processes to harness the power of the Internet in order to achieve enhanced profits and growth.

"Today, the little guy has an unfair advantage over big business. The internet has levelled the playing field. Prime location isn't important, a big marketing budget isn't necessary. Easy-to-use, easy-to-afford technology enables the small business to appear as large, as expert and as important as the giants. The real competition is increasingly about speed, flexibility and personal attention . "

"As I worked with many small business clients I saw a pattern. The business owner or manager knew little about their website, but a lot about the business. The web designer or technical guru knew a lot about the website, but little about the business"
