Uploading, Editing and Resizing Images Using the Online Website Builder

We receive many questions on adding and editing images when using the builder. We understand the value a well placed, cleanly edited image, which fits well onto your page, adds to your website, so have included some tips on image editing for you.

Website Design and SEO - Choosing a Domain Name

When building an Australian website to address a mainly Australian audience, the most common choice, and generally best performing on search engines, is a .com.au domain. In order to register a .com.au domain, your domain name of choice must be a copy of, or very similar to, your business name.

To best utilise your website, and to give it a good starting point when working out your search engine optimisation strategy, consider carefully your choice of both a business and domain name. Your name needs to express what it is you offer, and be unique to you, but also will benefit by having popular internet search terms in your field included.
