IDH Solutions is a team of website managers. After spending over 5 years building websites, we found the biggest struggle most businesses have is finding someone or some company to manage the day to day tasks of running a website. Such as:

• Updating the existing content so that it is up-to-date and relevant
• Creating and uploading new content
• Taking, modifying and inserting photos and galleries
• Writing blog posts with useful information
• Interacting on social media
• Generating video content
• Applying search marketing techniques (SEO, PPC, Link building, etc)
• And being prepared for whatever comes next!

We Are Experienced in Website Management

IDH understands and hence we have come up with a web solution where by you don't need anyone internally to manage the website, or have various different agencies looking after different parts of your website and online marketing campaigns. The Website Manager Role

So you can let IDH take complete control of all aspects of the website and become the dedicated website manager for your organisation. To find out exactly how we can help, look at all the website services that we offer.

IDH has a unique approach to websites compared to most other digital agencies/web design studios/web developers and any other online discipline you can think of. We know that getting a website online for a good price with a CMS that has a great feature set is not hard. And with the rise in offshore outsourcing, it has never been easier to get a cheap website. So We Manage Websites

What we do at IDH better than anyone else is manage websites. We have seen so many websites and online marketing strategies collect dust because there is no one responsible at a given organisation that takes full accountability as to how well it performs. IDH wants to be responsible for your website.

The website in 2011 has moved from a brochure you place online into a virtual salesman. And we are the digital manager of that salesman. We work him to the ground just like you would to your actual team. Because the website can do the following:

• Turn visitors into leads
• Interact with your client/customer base in real time
• Post information that can support your product/service offering.
• Share industry news and updates
• Broadcast to the world what your company is up to
• Report back to you on its performance
• Be Interactive
• Ask your clients for feedback

So do Your Website Need to be Worked on?

Well then you need to contact IDH Solutions right now and get someone managing it properly for you!

What Makes a Great Website

Here we list a few important aspects to any website in any industry:

• Content Management System (CMS) - All that information the belongs on your website needs to be stored somewhere. We will choose the best one for you.

There are so many different Content Management Systems (CMS) available, most businesses are extremely confused as to which ones they should use.

We are capable of working with most CMSs out there, but we do have our favourites. So depending on the circumstances and the requirements of your website, we could recommend any of the following to you:

• Wordpress - The easiest and quickest way to blog and run a website together in one platform
• Business Catalyst - Great for the enterprise style website with focus on workflows, CRM functionality, email marketing and a sprinkling of Ecommerce
• Drupal - For the more exprienced marketing managers and businesses with good technical guys that really want to get crazy and want something customisable to the n-th degree.
• Tumblr/Posterous/etc - The new kids on the block for the quick and easy blogging option - especially if you want to blog from mobile devices and tablets. Strong social bent as well.

So there is no one size fits all options. We will tailor or recommendations and stick you with the best CMS platform so your website can grow with your business.

Check out some of our handiwork. These are our most recent website builds.

The official website of the founder of IDH Solutions. Ben developed this website in various platforms before deciding to settle with the Wordpress platform, as it suited the type of content that would be added regularly to the website. Also, Wordpress has a fantastic blogging application on iPad (and Blogsy as well) which lets him post from which ever coffee shop he would be in during the day and night.

Website Features

• Built with the HTML5 BoilerPlate template and converted into a Wordpress Theme (there is still plenty to do in this area).
• Using a Flickr plugin for Wordpress to pull and format images from his gallery underneath the main navigation
• Twitter feed integration at the bottom of the page (working on a more interesting implementation at a later date.
• Microformat'd contact details

When a few of the friends of IDH and Ben Tortora got together to discuss their love of turtles, they discovered that there was not any websites out there that were doing turtles justice. So we took it upon ourselves to set up a Tumble Blog so we could share with ourselves and our friends the true awesomeness of Turtles. This is the result of our efforts.

Website Features

• Tumblr Theme that suits the vibe of the website (we had to look through hundreds to find one that works. See the link to the designer at the bottom of the website.

This has been an ongoing project for over 2 years, a Wordpress blog that shares cool and unique products and designs from around the world. With over 1000 pageviews a month, we continue to update it as the need arises. We also run and trial new techniques of web design and website promotion in order to determine the effectiveness of new potential traffic streams.

• Modifications and customisations to the Wordpress Thesis Framework by DIY Themes
• Facebook Integration with Fan Page and automated wall postings.

Do you know know what the difference is between an amazing website and one that looks good? It's the quality of the photography

Many do not allocate room in the website budget to accommodate professional photos for all the hero shots and mug shots of the staff. But those that do are never disappointed. Professional Photography Stands Out

And professional photography is also noticed. So that's why we have Luke and others at IDH come out and shoot you and your business location. Your business or industry might not be fun, cool or sexy, but all websites need photos of their team at least. It took a while for us to convince ourselves, but we reaped the rewards in the end.

Sure we can use stock photography for some of the less important pages on the website, but any page that you want to perform, generate business, and show the calibre of your organisation - we cannot stress strongly enough that pro photography makes all the difference.

It's Part of our Website Management Process

We can provide the ongoing service of our photographers to you - it doesn't matter whether or not you need photos for your website or not. You can have the rights to them and use them in banners, brochures or any other promotional material you create.

So if you want to partner up with IDH and let us manage the website, you most definitely should contact us today!

There is not a single business out there that regularly provides new content for existing or potential customers/clients on there website.

We know this for a fact. This is because the first question we ask everyone is how often due they update there website and the answer is generally never. Ever. So IDH Generates Content For You

We love coming up with content calendars and then coming up with ideas for the content, writing the content and then distributing it out to anyone in which you want it to go.

We even do all the grunt work:

• Writing the article in a word processor and then cutting and pasting it into a text editor to strip all the fluff markup out of it.
• Replacing the clean content with clean html
• Grammar and spelling checks (it's got to be professional)
• Posting it to your CMS system (in the correct spot
• Sharing it to your network (or you can do that bit if you really want to! That's the fun part!)

It's Part of our Website Management Process

Fresh and relevant content helps your customers, it helps your performance in search engines, and it shows you care about how your business appears online.

So please let us take care of all your content generation as part of a complete website management process with IDH!

Something that we have always wanted to do is provide small businesses with the easiest possible way of going online. However, there have been huge barriers stopping the smaller guys getting there and having a custom system that does exactly what they want it to do.

So we sat down and decided that due to the rise in cloud computing, mobile devices and access to the web in general, the software-as-a-service model is a perfect fit for small businesses.

What this allows you to do is to sign up on a monthly basis for a particular fee, that offsets the cost of developing a web app from scratch. We have internal systems that we ourselves use and can offer to you such as:

• Customer Relations Management (CRM) Systems
• Booking/appointment systems
• Invoicing and Accounting Systems
• Social Media Systems - in particular ones that let you manage all your profiles from a central location.

We do not offer this service to everyone, but if you are interested in signing up for a minimum of 12 months to any system we develop, we are more than happy to work with you on it!

After one client came to us wanting a script or application to clean up their CRM and sales data, IDH was more than happy to help out.

We wrote a script that took the data, cross referenced it with a business listing website (one we assumed had more up to date data than what we did) and cross refernced it against our records.

After that, we cleaned up the formatting and stored the accurate, clean data in a CSV feed that they could simply important into their system.

Both parties were very happy with the result - it was a lot fun to code it up and then gave us an opportunity to improve our own system when we run it over our own data. Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn

Ben has owned this domain for many years and could never think of anything to do with it. Well this month he found some spare time and knocked up web app to pull the news feeds in from the major Australian newspapers.

Build using the PHP framework CodeIgniter, jQuery, and basic html5 markup, the basic premise is for the general public to decide what is being reported on by the major newspapers is actually news worthy. You can vote as to whether it is news or trash and the score is updated accordingly.

There will be future plans to expand the application, but as it is just alpha versioning at the moment, there is a few bugs that need to be cleaned up.

"IDH has helped us setup a few small websites to help us promote our two practices online. Ben mainly provided us with the advice on how to set them up to better help us attract only the people in the suburbs that we service, rather than trying to blanket all of Sydney.

The websites were easy enough for us to access and update if needed, but we preferred him to upload and share the content online as we found he knew the best places to promote us and our business."
