Web Design & Development

"Salsa Internet designed, built and operated the website for the 2008 Midsumma Festival, based on themes and images supplied by Midsumma's graphics artists. The website was constructed, using the Joomla! template system, to match the design of the 2008 hard copy festival program guide.

It was an absolute delight to work with both Salsa and Joomla: Salsa staff always responded promptly and effectively to our requests, though because of the power and robustness of Joomla, the number of requests issued by us was actually quite small! For the first time ever, we felt that we were in control of our own website destiny, being able to easily modify the content, and to a lesser extent, the design, of the website to respond to our changing needs and any emerging requirements as soon as we became aware of those."

"Thank you Salsa Internet for everything you have done to grow my business, you have managed to create a fantastic website with high search engine rankings within six months. I now enjoy opening my website up each morning and it’s due to your thorough knowledge of the industry and great commitment. Thanks Adam, Phil and staff for the professional service you have dispalyed during my association with you. I have enjoyed doing business with you and look forward to working with a great team in the future. Congratulations!"

"Our business plan centres around a website that delivers us competitive advantage through giving couples the convenience of being able to create a wedding gift registry online, and allowing their guests to view and purchase those gifts online. When we explained our concept to the Salsa team, they immediately demonstrated a good understanding of the core requirements of the site, but what really impressed us is that they could also see novel ways in which our website plan could be improved to offer impressive functionality not found elsewhere.

Salsa consulted and communicated with us throughout the development process, and created innovative solutions to problems encountered. The outcome has exceeded our expectations and we are proud to say that Salsa has created the most advanced website in our industry. As a result, our customers constantly comment on how user-friendly our site is, and we consistently win business on the basis of our superior online capability."

Nick Scarborough, Melbourne Wedding Registry

"Salsa Internet is like a breath of fresh air in the world of web solution companies. They approached the task of building our internet site and putting our executive profiling and skills assessment tool online in a most innovative and economical manner. The results they delivered were way beyond our expectations.

Our project was very complex and we had a limited budget, however the result Salsa developed is very impressive and has resulted in us saving at least $15,000 a year.

Adam and his development team are extremely patient and approachable nothing is too much trouble. The ongoing service and innovative support we receive from Salsa is fantastic and it's nice to know that they are always looking at ways to improve our site and our business in general.

I have no hesitation in recommending Salsa Internet."

Online Marketing & Strategy

"Two years ago I started my web based document production business.  There were a number of people offering Google driven ad campaigns to improve business rankings.  We tried one of them and in four months having spent an awful lot of money we had received no response whatsoever.  Quite fortuitously, at that stage, Salsa had started their own Google marketing division.  We got Phil Baddock from Salsa on board and to say that the results were immediate and positive is an understatement.  In fact, we have not looked back.  So much so that I have now got my law firm successfully operating the same way.  I attribute the increase in turnover to Salsa directly and can highly recommend them for this sort of work.  Not only have they been professional but they have also been on the ball on the front foot."

Alan Rosendorff, Draftdocs

"Given our business is 100% online, Salsa have helped us realise our businesses potential, and quantify exaclty what is possible. The strategic advice they offer on an on-going basis has proven to be leading edge, helping us identify exactly what needs to be done to succeed online. Phil is always up to date with the latest in effective online promotion techniques, and everything the team has implemented for us has been top notch. We selected Salsa over 2 or 3 of the big players, and have not regretted our decision for a second. We have, and will continue to happily recommend Salsa to others."

"Or website sells our service very well, but getting the right people to go to our site is not easy.  Our most effective source of traffic to our website has always been our Google Adwords campaign.  Historically, this has brought in more leads than any other form of advertising and more than our free link on Google.  Our free listing on Google has languished on the second and third pages of search results for our key search terms (Bridal Registry and Wedding Registry).  This meant we had to rely solely on our Adwords ads to bring brides to our website.

Whilst our Google campaign is very cost effective in comparison to Magazines and Billboards, it is always good to get something for nothing - and this is exactly what the Google free link does.  We commissioned Salsa to rework our website to make it clear to Google's software exactly what our service is. Importantly, we were able to maintain the same look and feel to our website as this was already a winning formula for us.  The result the SEO work was that our Google free listing on our two major search terms improved markedly.  We now appear on the first page for these search terms, including position 3 for Wedding Registry.

For the price of a one page ad in a bridal magazine, we have successfully tapped into the world's greatest source of free internet traffic.

Since implementing the SEO work, visitors to the Melbourne Wedding Registry site have increased dramatically, and a large part of this increase is directly attributable to our improved position in the free listings.  In the first month after implementation we experienced a 48% increase in average daily visitors from Google.  3 months after implementation we are 240% ahead.  Needless to say, these results have outperformed our expectations.

The Salsa team also manage our Google Adwords campaign which they closely monitor.  Salsa has a business driven outlook when it comes to search engine advertising; they are all about getting maximum value for us out of our budget.  So all decisions they make with regard to keywords and bidding are done with value for money in mind."
