When was the last time you communicated with investors?

Have you told them the milestones you’ve achieved since your last update?

Perhaps you’ve created more products. Or developed new partnerships.

Maybe you’ve hit your earnings targets. Or raised funds.

Your investor community would like to hear about all these accomplishments in your business.

Well-designed. User-friendly. Responsive.

That's how clients and investors expect your website to be.

You can't just have any site if you want the needs of your audience and business to be met.

Your website must be attractive, easily navigable and engaging.

Rebranding.

Many companies will do it at some point. For various reasons.

Particularly when its vision has expanded beyond its initial goals.

Perhaps you’re considering one too for your company?

Is your corporate website secure?

Most often, your website is your initial contact with customers and investors. And these critical business relationships can be compromised if your site isn’t safe.

A safe website provides a sense of security for your audience when they go through your pages. As your site becomes trusted, they won’t worry about signing up in forms or engaging in other activities there.

A corporate website is vital in today’s digital business age.

Not having a site means losing business and investors to your competitors that have such online presence.

An online presence will not only enable customers to quickly find your products or services. It will also help potential investors, business partners and employees to easily learn about your company.

A website redesign can be burdensome.

Or not.

Depending on your content management system (CMS).

It’s actually not as complicated if your CMS can step up to the challenge.

And it can be very advantageous. Especially when your redesign aims to reflect your company’s growth and to strengthen your online presence.

It’s never too late to switch. Especially if it’s for the better.

Accelerate Resources Limited (ASX: AX8) didn’t shy away from moving to a more suitable website when it realised its former one was outdated.

Accelerate pursues investment opportunities in Australian cobalt copper and gold exploration projects. Being a recently listed company, its efforts were focused on fully engaging with investors.

The bell has rung. And you’re no longer an unlisted company.

Will your investors see you as an amateur new IPO or a full scale ASX-listed company from Day 1?

Carawine Resources Limited (ASX:CWX) was able to manage that transition with a professional online investor presence throughout the process. The exploration company has settled into being a listed company with a primary focus to explore for, and ultimately develop mineral deposits within Australia.

There’s always room for improvement. Especially in a corporate website.

That’s not only because your company is growing. It’s also because you want to keep delivering a great user experience for your audience through your site.

And wouldn’t it be neat if these enhancements were more manageable to implement? Without a long wait for the upgrades to be carried out?

That feeling when you walk into an impressive corporate headquarters.

It’s not just the minimalist or no-nonsense look of the office. It’s the professional vibe that makes you want to do business with the company.

Much like how a well-designed website works. Once you enter its home page, you’d want to explore the rest of the site to see how you can engage with the establishment.

Nowadays, more investors research the Web for businesses they’re looking into.

That’s why companies have websites that not only cater to consumers or clients. They also create webpages that address investor needs. Where their company can provide information and gain the credibility investors seek.

To strengthen its online presence, Alkane Resources Ltd recently launched a website with the help of IRM. Alkane is an ASX and OTCQX (US) listed multi-commodity mining and exploration company. Its projects and operations are located in the Central West of New South Wales, eastern Australia.

Your company website is essential.

It’s where your investor community establishes their first impression on you. And it’s a way to keep in touch with them too.

Understandably, investors would most likely consider a company with a well-designed and easy-to-use site. For it assures them that the business is growing. Abreast with latest trends and technologies.

It’s not just getting a new look.

A website redesign is about directing more visitors to your site. Expanding your reach. Tweaking your audience interactions. So they’ll engage more in your business.

As your business grows, so refreshing your site is inevitable. You’d have to bring it up to date with your current goals and milestones achieved, right? You’d need to showcase how your company continues to progress since you first launched or last updated your website.

Investors and other stakeholders usually check out websites of companies they want to investment in. After all, corporate sites are expected to be a company’s best source of information.

Imagine when a website isn’t adequately designed or isn’t functioning as well as it could. Understandably, investors’ interest in that company would likely diminish.

Growth. Expansion. That’s always good news.

You’d want everyone to be updated with these advancements, wouldn’t you? Especially your stakeholders. And what better way to do this than through a supportive website.

Here’s how Australian biotech Noxopharm Ltd. was able to quickly launch a site for its new subsidiary.

Things change. Yes, even business names.

It’s a healthy sign of dynamism as the company heads into a new direction.

That’s why it’s great to have a content management system that’s supportive of your website and company’s progress.

Seen the latest website of Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd (ASX: IOG)? It just became more investor-friendly! Here’s how the oil and gas producing company tweaked its site for the better.

As part of efforts to boost investor relations, Incremental got down with IRM to redesign the website with modern colours and style. Advanced functionalities were also added to the site, which runs on HQi, IRM’s proprietary content management system.

Australian Potash Limited (ASX:APC) rolled out a brand-new website to enhance its online investor presence.

The minerals exploration company picked out its colours, content and images for the full website powered by HQi, IRM’s proprietary content management system. Essential info about the company, its board and management team are well presented in the site. Its many projects are detailed, with vibrant photos laid out in an image gallery.

IRM and Plus Connect (ASX:ACU) worked together to launch the latest webpage of the Australian company that offers online betting and social gaming products. The online gaming company hand-picked its colours, images and content for the website that aims to support investor relations. Through the well-designed site, the company highlighted a wide range of key information about its business, its board of directors, management team and partners, among other things.

IRM worked in partnership with Pilbara Minerals Limited (ASX:PLS) to develop the latest website of the emerging lithium and tantalum producer. Pilbara is focused on the development of its world-class 100% owned Pilgangoora Lithium-Tantalum Project in Western Australia.

IRM deployed its HQi content management system to build and run the cutting-edge webpage, using Pilbara’s selected colours, content and images. Among its many purposeful facets, the website’s home page showcases a share price promo box and interactive 3D animations on projects.
