Building A Website For Your Working Holiday Business
Your website is a vital tool in marketing your working holiday
business as it should act as a point of reference for current and
potential customers as well as generate new leads of people looking to
work abroad.
More often than not, people use the internet as their first point of
call to search for working holiday providers - or if they see your flyer
or your advert they will refer to your website for further information.
This makes the presence of a website crucial as it your chance to make a
good first impression to potential customers.
There are a number of factors you must consider when building a
website for your working holiday business from the design, usability and
content to enabling potential customers to find your website when they
are searching the internet for working holidays abroad.
Design The Site To Align With Your Brand
Website visitors usually make their mind up wether they like a site within the first couple of seconds which makes good design essential in order to create a good first impression. The design of a website should align with the rest of your branding to create a professional image to website visitors - this means having a design that matches the style and colour of other marketing materials used by your working holiday business - flyers, business cards, logo, social media presence etc.

Your website should adhere to common website layout standards (as
shown below) in order to allow your end-users to intuitively navigate
around your website.
You should also try to minimise the amount of images you use on your webpage in order to keep the load-time of your webpages to a minimum to prevent the user from getting bored of waiting for your page to load and looking elsewhere.

You should also make it very simple for your customers to be able to
submit an enquiry to your website. Your main aim for your website and
your business as a whole is to convert potential customers into paying
customers so you must make it very easy for them to submit an enquiry
and possibly provide them some form of incentive for submitting an
enquiry.
Marketing Your Website
There is no point in having a website if it cannot be found by your potential customers. You should have a mix of online and offline marketing methods to drive potential customers to your website where you can hopefully convert them into paying customers.
