Want a lot more web based business for a lot less money?

Most people are now aware of the growing impact of Social Media. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and YouTube have become household names – not having some of these Social Media giants connected to your website is no longer an option. There exists no other low-cost promotional method that will easily give you large numbers of visitors, many of whom may well come back to your website time and time again.

Your customers may well be on your website but what about your potential clients?
If you could get new customers without them visiting your website, wouldn’t that be great?
With Social Media you can build your brand recognition and create trust off your website so that the conversion rates on your website go way up! See some interesting facts here.

Your potential customers will come looking for you!

Social Media is a natural evolvement of the Web and we have become specialized in the the working of social media technologies to help reach a targeted audience, generate that much needed revenue and create a positive image for a business.

Social Media marketing is a two-way form of communication

Probably the most important aspect of our marketing at Navega Bem is that we recognize that Social Media unlike other forms of online marketing is a two-way form of communication. Many companies are not yet using Social Media and the majority of those that do will simply narrowcast their wares to no-one in particular. We focus on building communities to interact with and we create good quality content. Social Media really is about ‘Quality’ and not ‘Quantity’. 200 interactive connections can be much more powerful than 200.000 one way connections.

Lisete Gonçalves, Project Director and Administrator of Navega Bem explains why in-house Social Media marketing is not always the best option. “We encourage all our clients to setup and run their own Twitter and Facebook accounts. But of course it requires a dedicated strategy. In much the same way that a company needs a professional website to create a credible relationship with its customers and communicate a competent approach,  it also needs to exhibit that same professionalism with its Social Media. So, if you don’t have the experience or the time to run your social marketing internally – we are here to help.”

Social Media marketing is all about creating content, sharing expertise and being part of a like minded community. The time has now come to reach out and talk with your customers and potential clients and offer them your experience. It takes skill and perception to manage your company’s image with social media. Navega Bem’s Social Media marketing services are targeted at substantially increasing communication between you and the rest of the world. We will show how interacting with your customer base can make an enormous difference in bringing you new clients and generating a better income.

Ô Hotels & Resorts has launched a new portal promoting the Portuguese regions of Vimeiro and Monfortinho. Four character hotels in these regions have come together under a unique, single standard of excellence.

Hotel Golf Mar, Hotel das Termas, Hotel Astoria and Hotel Fonte Santa are now offering a perfect balance between adventure, discovery and well-being, lying at the heart of a rich heritage of protected landscapes.

The Ô Hotels & Resorts portal has been developed by Navega Bem – Web Design, which is a full service digital marketing, development and web design agency based on Madeira island, Portugal.

Chris Szabo, MD of Navega Bem explained “We are very pleased that we were chosen to develop this project. The design was created by one of Portugal’s leading brand and communication company’s ‘Brandia Central’ and our brief was to bring the portal to life. We were able to add our own innovations and the project has come together in a very structured and transparent way. Our software engineer Diego has been responsible for the project and has demonstrated a very high level of professionalism in bringing this project to fruition.”

“We have developed the site with Joomla! 1.5 and K2.
Joomla! is a dynamic portal engine and content management system.
K2 is a powerful content component for Joomla! with CCK-like features developed by JoomlaWorks.
The way K2 integrates into Joomla has given us a powerful hotels portal that is very user friendly and will be simple to maintain by the hotels.”

“The Ô Hotels & Resorts portal is available in 4 languages. This is not ordinarily an easy task in any CMS framework, but we use Joom!Fish. This is a sophisticated extension for Joomla! and it allows us to present a website in multiple languages easily.”

“Any web project using Joomla! that requires content in different languages and processes which help to keep track of the translations will find that the Joom!Fish extension does exactly this.”

This charming Madeira Quinta that was built in the 18th century has become Madeira islands most sought after luxury botanical garden hotel.

During the Napoleonic wars General Beresford, Commander of the British forces on the island chose it as his residence. His magnificent sideboard, a reminder of his stay, still adorns the majestic dining room.

Today the Quinta, with 31 double rooms, 4 historical Junior Suites and 5 Premier Suites, all facing south to the gardens and the blue Atlantic ocean, have been lovingly designed to offer the best accommodation in modern functionality and traditional comfort and style, for a luxury holiday in Madeira Island.

The exclusive property is the favoured location for many celebrities and heads of state. A long list of prominent guests include Mr. Helmut Schmidt, ex-Chancellor of Germany. Sir. Peter O’Toole (a legend in the world of cinema). President of the European Parliament Dr. Durão Barroso and Dr. Alberto João Jardim, President of the Madeira Government. Local rumours also tell of many visits by Madonna, but discretion on the part of the hotel leaves us unable to confirm this.

This elegant Madeira Hotel has now launched its new website and invites the curious and potential guests alike to visit the site and see in great detail what it is that makes Quinta Jardins do Lago such a special and beautiful choice for a holiday retreat. This is without exception one of, if not the top ‘Quintas da Madeira‘.

The new web presence has been carefully crafted by Navega Bem – Web Design, a full service digital marketing, development and web design agency which is also based on Madeira island, Portugal.

Navega Bem’s MD and Creative Director Chris Szabo explained “we have always admired Quinta Jardins do Lago since it was first opened. We were very honoured to be asked to develop the new website and we hope we have done this amazing botanical garden hotel justice with our efforts. We have spent many a day on the property – officially for research motives – but in all honesty it is just a wonderful and calming place to be.”

“The website has been developed around the Open Source framework and content management system Joomla! Now that the initial phase is complete and the site has been published online, we will add additional languages and focus on achieving the best possible ranking in the search engines.”
