Singapore Web Design Company Blog

With more customers inquiring about web template customization services, we have decided that its time that we start to retail templates as well.

With the launch of www.edlinktemplate.com, we hope to extend our services to customers with very limited budget.

We have listed some benefits of using templates below:

a) Low Cost
We can often reduce the cost of designing a new website using templates by 20~30%. If you have web publishing knowledge, the cost of launching a website is only the cost of template [less than SGD150] plus web hosting and domain name charges.

b) Faster Site Launch
With template customizatin, your website may be launched much earlier. We essentially cut down the time for design conceptualization.

c) Wider choice
You are no longer confined to a few choice. There are over 6,000 templates for you to choose from.

The only downside is that, your competitor may be using the same template as you. However, new templates are constantly added to our template library every day. So, there is very little chance that you may find your site similar to another company. You may also need to do some customization to the template to suit your business.

Together with your hosting package, we will provide you some web/ftp tools for you to track your site statistics.

For a start, you need to log in to your Cpanel, click on Web/Ftp Stats icon to see a list of available tools.

Here is some introduction to the tools and how to use them:

Awstats -
Unique visitors: Shows you the number of unique visitors every month, as well as number of visits per month based on repeat visits. Sites with very good content will often retain visitors better and boost the number of repeat visits

Hits: This form of measure for site statistics is not as accurate compared to visitors and page views. Every time a visitor download files from a html file, all the embeded files such as jpg, gif are also recorded.

Countries: You may know which countries your visitors come from.

Authenticated users: This records all users who have access to the restricted folders. However, the server also record unsuccessful attempts by visitors who tried to access these folders.

Robots/Spiders visitors: You may find out which robots have visited your site. Basically, more robot visits indicate a good sign that robots may find your site interesting. Some popular sites may have robot visits every day. Googlebot - Google robots, Inktomi Slurp - Yahoo robots, MSNBot - Msn robot and some smaller search engines.

Visits duration: Generally, the longer time your visitors stay at your site indicates that your site provides good content.

Connect to site from: This is one of the most important, as you can tell where your site traffic comes from. Most of the time its from search engines. But we should not forget about traffic from affiliate sites and web directories.

In the Cpanel >> Awstats, you may notice that besides you, Awstats sometimes shows some unknown authenticated users.

Do not worry though, because the web server also records failed attempts by people who tried to access the restricted directories using brute force method.

But It may be a problem when there are unknown users who have tried accessing many times. In this case, you may block the person’s Ip address to prevent him/her from making any attempts at all.
