Taichung Website Design – Useful Questions for Manufacturing Industry Managers

Taichung Website Design - Useful questions for Managers | GlobalSense

I have been visiting factories in Taichung for 20 years and every time I meet customers they always have some basic questions that I need to answer to help them understand the process that they need to follow with Digital Marketing to get the best results.

In this series of articles, I will try to reproduce these common questions on major topics to help manufacturers better understand what they need to do and also the things that they should avoid. I hope that your find them useful.

This first article will start to cover the most basic and important questions that I hear from customers on the topic of website design. It is important to start with this topic as your website is the heart of all of your digital marketing so making the right business decisions to get the results you need is really important.

 

How much should you invest in a B2B website in Taichung?

This is always a tricky question to answer but the truth is you always get what you pay for. If you stop looking at your website as an online catalog and see it as a critical sales tool just like exhibitions, then you will realise that you need to invest properly in it.

“You get what you pay for”

When I visit manufacturers in Taiwan, I see mainly Taiwanese, Japanese and European machinery. Why is that? It is because you need reliable, accurate production equipment, to produce great products for your customers. Most manufacturers are unlikely to purchase machine tools from China or India; they might be cheap, but will they really help your business in the long term?

At the same factories, I see expensive German and European cars parked outside, not cheap cars from other countries. Why? Because quality is important to you, and it is important to your customers as well. Websites are not as expensive as cars, but for your company they are much more important.

Most of your customers can only judge your company by your website. So consider hard truths when thinking about your company website:

  • For online visitors, the quality of your website is equal to the quality of your company & products
  • Your company size is irrelevant for online business, only your website matters at first.
  • Your competitors will be very grateful if you fail to invest in a great website.

 

Taichung Website Design Pricing

A B2B template website from a large marketing company in Taichung will probably cost you around NTD150-200K. They will take the content from your existing website (which is not great) and paste it into a new design with some new photos. Then they will do some SEO to help your website rank for some keywords.

The problem is that when your customers see your website and look at the content, they will see poor quality content that does not answer their real questions. They will leave your site and go and visit your competitors instead. Content is critical for your websites SEO, without it, you will not attract customers.

A fully customized website design with fresh professionally written content in Taichung should cost around NTD400-600K depending on the number of pages and the amount of content. Your website is an investment and not a cost. You need to invest properly in it to attract the best customers for your business.

 

How can you find a marketing company in Taichung to build your new website?

You should find a marketing company in Taichung to build your new website the same way you would find any new service supplier for your company.
Make a list of the services the supplier needs to provide

1. If you need a website to help you find international customers then you might have an initial list of requirements something like this:

The company should have:

  • Experience building foreign language websites
  • Foreign language marketing team who can help to research your market and competitors
  • Foreign language writers who can create the content for your website (Translation is not acceptable)
  • Examples of international websites that the company has built
  • International website hosting near your target markets
  • Ability to create ad campaigns in multiple languages

To attract international customers you need a website with plenty of written content that addresses customer’s real questions, the content from your old company catalog is not going to work any more. This content needs to be written by marketing professionals you can meet with so that you can make sure you are creating the right content to convert visitors into customers. If the website design company does not have an international marketing team you will not be able to achieve the results that you hoped for.

2.Ask your friends which suppliers they use in Taichung and find out if they are happy with them

If you are based in Taichung then asking your friends about local companies they have worked with is always a good idea and a great starting point to find the right new website design supplier for your business.

These are some things that you might want to check when a friend recommends a supplier:

  • Are the websites the supplier makes impressive?
  • Are the websites similar in style? (This is not good)
  • Contact some of the companies whose work is shown and ask them about working with the supplier.
  • Do they clearly show their team on the website?
  • Have a look at their reviews on Google Maps to see what people are saying about them.

Doing some basic research yourself is always time well spent if you are looking for a new Taichung website design company. Checking examples of their work and contacting their real customers directly will give you a clear picture of which companies are likely to be good service providers for your business.

 

Check online for suppliers that look professional

Searching for Taichung website design companies in your area is always a good idea. If you are going to be building an English language website, then maybe try searching in English to see which companies appear for a search like “Taichung website design company”. That might be a good indicator of the companies that have the capability to do content and website design well in English.

Also check these things:

  • Check their “works” section for the quality and originality of their designs
  • Check that they can provide all of the services that you need including international website hosting.
  • Check the “about us” page to see if they have an international team.
