Why Choose Passion Computing?
The personal service that we offered to website development clients, took a natural course and expanded to domain name and hosting services, which are provided to a wide range of clients in Australia and internationally. All hosting services are provided in a secure datacenter and managed by experienced technicians.
Years ago when we first started our business, like many people we just found the cheapest domain name registrar and hosting we could find and we ended up trying a large number of companies both in Australia and overseas. We lost a domain name, our site was down for days and finally restored with data that was three months old and we lost a truckload of time on technical support for issues related to poor hosting and poorly trained technicians. We learnt from first hand experience that who you buy your domain and hosting from is more important than price. We also made the big mistake of finding an expensive hosting provider, thinking that they would be better and ended up paying more for a service that was just as lacking.
Finding technology partners that we could trust became paramount and especially ensuring that our clients' domain names were secured and renewed prior to expiry. We partnered with a leading provider of domain name registration to provide domain name registration and hosting for our clients and it was a natural progression to offer hosting and domain registration to clients who felt alienated by the larger impersonal services offered by larger providers. We also wanted to offer DIY website solutions to customers, and make it simple for people to get the information they needed to choose the right domain name, build a website and get their sites listed on search engines. Usually this kind of information and service was only available to clients who had a custom website developed.
What do we provide?
- If there is a technical issue that needs to be addressed, we will help you resolve the problem.
- We will contact you personally, if you do not renew your domain name and not simply rely on automated systems where emails can get lost.

- Personalized support backed by quality infrastructure
How important is your business to you? Our prices are very competitive. We understand how important your domain and hosting are to your business and are not volume sellers. You get quality at an affordable price.

Why Choose Us for Custom Website Development?
Are we the right company for you? If you are looking for the cheapest website designer, we may not be the right choice for you. The only way, you can get a cheap website is to use a premade template and fill it with content. It is not a custom design site and the best alternative we can offer clients is a DIY website.
1. Results. Your company website is important and it is just as important that you receive a website that meets your expectations. Passion Computing work with our customers to make sure that everything is done right. Most projects do not require a deposit and clients are only invoiced after work has been completed to their satisfaction, and because our customers value us as business partners, many pay us well before the invoice due date.

2. Quality - your website is programmed to the highest standards. Unlike many designers who are unqualified, we are proficient in numerous computer languages, database programming, design, xhtml compliancy, css stylesheets, AJAX, XML, and computer hardware. Having taught website design to second and third year University students at Universities in Melbourne; you can rest assured that you will get the best quality website programming.
3. Service - we look after you. Your project is not tossed around or delegated in a long processor line. We do not outsource your project. You work directly with the development team and this ensures a full understanding of project outcomes. If you have any questions or concerns, we quickly and professionally answer them and we are also able to advise you on alternative methods, costs and any issues related to your website. A number of website development companies in Australia charge clients big dollars only to outsource their project to India. Disadvantages of Indian Outsourcing.
4. Deadlines. Project deadlines are important. We have seen too many other designers drag out projects for months. After making the sale and taking 50% deposit, many website design projects are tossed in a pile. This will never happen at Passion Computing. Firstly, we do not take deposits and secondly, if your project deadline is incompatible with our workload, we will let you know at the outset, so you can make alternative arrangements. We are always completely honest with you and will never make the deal for the sake of sealing you into a contract.
5. Search engine visibility - we work as hard to make sure that our coding is compatible with search engines. There are many things that need to be done to get a top ranking site, and we are happy to work together with clients to advise on copywriting, internet marketing, choosing keywords and keyword phrases, if requested as part of the project. As a minimum on all projects, we will insert the keyword phrases that we deem to match you site's content.
6. Copy writing and layout are central to an effective website and clients are made aware of possible issues of concern during the drafting phase. Ultimately, the client is responsible for the images and copywriting that is supplied and has the final decision with regard to the design, layout and content within their site.
7. Affordable websites - our pricing is competitive. We do not have the same overheads as many designers, nor do we invest in pushy sales departments, telemarketing, direct marketing or print advertising. We rely solely on word of mouth referrals and search engine traffic, and therefore we can offer competitive prices on our website design services.
8. Honesty Honesty is vital in every relationship and how we differ from other website developers is that if in our professional opinion a project is simply untenable and unlikely to be successful, we simply we tell you upfront of all the risks involved and potential problems. Someone once said to us "You are too honest to be commercially viable" but we are still here today, providing a valuable service to businesses and individuals and doing so with integrity.
9. Professionalism Most website developers and designers are commercially based. Commercialism is the use of marketing and advertising to sell products and services regardless of the needs and requirements of a customer. To be a professional, is to use education, experience and training to do work, anaylze, problem solve and make sound decisions. Professionalism and Ethics
10. Internet Knowledge We are avid internet users and have been for over a decade. We were there when the internet first started, when sites were purely text based and when you needed to utilize unix shell accounts to access the internet. We continue to expand our knowledge of the internet and web technology by using online shopping sites, online payment gateways, online gaming sites, online banking, forums, etc.
