Please give us a short summary of your website?
Our website contains all the information you need when looking to buy a kit home.
What inspired you to launch your own website?
After building my own steel frame kit home I decided it was a perfect opportunity to share this affordable option with others.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
My first website I ever made was in 2005 and was www.russellisland.com.au. It was about an island community located less than an hours drive from Australias third largest city, Brisbane. Here you could purchase building blocks for under $5000.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
It was easy to decide on the name Kit Homes Australia-wide. The name says exactly what we do.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
The biggest difference with our site is deffinately the product. Our house designs are far superior to any other design I have ever seen.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
I hope to grow the business to the extent that we become the largest kit homes company in Australia.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
It's actually not too bad. I have enough time to raise my first son and keep on top of the business activities as well. Financially, expences are generally kept down to a minimum as a big proportion of marketing is on line.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
I may spend a little more on web site design and marketing.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Yes, we have a large team of staff and if necessary we can employ when needed.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
The biggest issue is dealing with council. This is often the longest process in house construction and can be very frustrating for us and our clients.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Creating designs that suit the Australian conditions.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
By far the most successful method of web promotion has been the search engines. More than 80% of new clients found us through Google or MSN.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
Probably a little more addictive than I had expected. This has made the ballance between work and family a little difficult.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
This site has been opperational for about 2 years and I plan to keep it going for many years to come.
