Frequently Asked Questions

During our time, many questions have been asked of us and below we present some of the more obvious ones (and not so obvious) and the answers we generally give...

Q. ´Where does your name come from?´
A. After much head scratching and discussion we decided on many names only to find that they were already taken or were too obtuse. We then turned to other languages for inspiration and stumbled upon the Portuguese word Adido which translated to Attaché' or Ambassador. We felt that Adido had a strong meaning and memorable ring to it and so Adido was born. See for yourself: http://world.altavista.com/tr

Q. 'I´m looking at several other web design companies, why should I choose Adido?'
A. The answer is quite simple; we listen, understand and work with you to create what you want, not what you are being sold. Using our understanding of your business and your goals, we use our knowledge, expertise and skills in web design and online marketing to develop your business website into whatever you want it to be.

If you are looking to work with other web design agencies, have you asked them the following questions?

Is it compliant with latest web guidelines?
Does it comply with web design principles?
Has it been built with search engines in mind?
Does it take an age to download?
If you wanted to make a change how easy would this be?
Does it give the image you want to show to potential customers?

The list is endless. Adido Solutions pride themselves on making professional websites for serious businesses using years of experience and technical expertise. The net result is that if you get websites right from the beginning your online presence is right from day one. This means no expensive web redesigns or loss of business to competitors.

We're proud of our web design news feed and our website visitors like it as well (it's one of our most popular features). Why not see what the fuss is about and read our news listing?

Q. 'How do I get my website to the top of the search engines?'
A. To achieve top rankings on Google is unlikely to happen by chance. The world wide web has grown to around 10 billion pages. Why would Google pick your website as number one for your keywords? To achieve high rankings requires something called search engine optimisation (SEO) which is the process of building websites and web campaigns around keywords and phrases related to your business. SEO requires a lot of hard work and expertise. Adido Solutions can offer search engine optimisation to any sized company and have achieved high rankings for several customers in the past and continue to do so to this day (perhaps you found us through a Google search?).

Alternatively, websites can buy their way into search engine results by buying advertising space with selected key phrases and words. This is called Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising and can be extremely useful to advertise your site and generate the business you want.

Q. 'Can you offer cast iron guarantees with search engine optimisation?'
A. As much as we would like to offer cast iron guarantees with SEO, it is simply not possible. Search engines such as Google and Yahoo have matured and grown over the last ten years and as such, to achieve high rankings requires time, skills and a lot of effort. The days of simply adding hidden meta keywords and submitting to 500,000,000 directories to achieve top ten rankings are long gone. In addition to this, search engines constantly change their indexing methods, so to be at number one today will not necessary be true tomorrow.

Q. 'Can you work for me even though I´m miles away from your office?'
A. We have completed projects for several customers without actually meeting them face to face. Thanks to the advances in hardware and web technologies, the communication over large distances has never been so easy. In an ideal world, we would like to sit down with all of our customers to gain a greater understanding of their business, but time is a rare commodity, so if we can work using the Internet for both our benefits, it makes sense to.

What we can say, is that we will work closely with you, providing reports and feedback over a set period of time, so that we can work towards an agreed set of goals. Ultimately our knowledge of our industry and your knowledge of yours, work together to achieve results which are discussed from the outset.

Whether your website needs to be able to sell online, wants to be number one for selected key phrases or you simply need to be able to update it yourself, we can do it! If you still have any questions or qualms, contact us today using our form or call us on 0845 260 2343 and we will be more than happy to speak to you, to get your website to where you want it to be.

Q. Where can I visit you?
A. Our Head office is based in Bournemouth, just a short stroll from the best beach in Dorset. We have offices in Southampton and Surrey to help our clients based in Hampshire and Surrey. Please visit our contact page for more information.

There is also a place called Adido in Ethopia, Africa. We aim to set up an office there one day...
