Here at 2Active Design, our websites are valued at a certain cost depending on the desired features. This value could be monetary or the equivalent in goods or services. This trade relationship can be a great alternative in there tough economic times when businesses choose to barter instead of a monetary payment or as a partial payment.

A website is the most valuable marketing tool for a business and we want you to have one even if you cannot afford one. Many of our clients provide valuable goods or services that are as good as cash here at 2Active Design. This is a perfectly acceptable trade and we will consider exchanging a website for goods or services.

2Active Design provides consulting and web maintenance as a service and the website as the product. We also provide training for clients to easily manage their own website and maintenance service whenever needed. In this industry, it is not rare to establish a service trade rather than a financial payment.

Exchange systems provide new sales and higher volumes of business, conserving cash for essential expenditures, exchange of unproductive assets for valuable products or services, reduction of unit costs, and opening new outlets for excess inventory and unused capacity. Reciprocal trade finance enables a firm to buy using its incremental cost of production. So long as incremental revenue exceeds incremental cost, it is worth it for a firm to trade using a barter exchange.

The paragraph above basically states the advantages to trade. We see an advantage to business to business bartering for the following reasons:

• Exchange goods and services rather than cash
• Cash value fluctuates while services and goods value are more stable
• Cash remains available for both parties
• Possibility for exchanging referrals and marketing
• Improved efficiency when cash is excluded from the deal
• No dependence upon financial institutions and third parties for the trade
• Companies may be short on cash, but should never be short on service
• Very likely to be a productive partnership since both sides will get good deals

As previously mentioned, 2Active Design is very interested in potential trade partnerships within Honduras, primarily:

• Hotel Industries
• Advertising on Television, Radio or Print Media
• Restaurants
• Lawyers and Law Firms
• Marketers and Promoters
• Writers, Photographers, and Journalists

A successful barter trade could be established with people in any of those industries. Please get in touch to discuss further details. Remember, just because there is no money doesn’t mean you can’t get a website or consulting! If you provide goods or services, the Internet is something you really need to take advantage of these days. Even if your industry or profession isn’t listed on our list, contact us and let us at least hear your proposal. Be creative! In the end, you’ll take your business even further with your website!

La Ceiba, Honduras can have local help. 2Active Design can tell you how to improve your site and take full advantage of the two-way, multilingual communication it is capable of. Isn’t it time you upgraded your business to the 21st Century?

La Ceiba is a premier destination for tourists. Business based here should have a world class website. 2Active Design can help. While many locals know the city quite well, visitors will probably look to the Internet for information before trying to ask local folk. For this reason, it is imperative that businesses in La Ceiba have a beautiful and informative website in Spanish and English.

Stuck in the 90s

When a Google search is done for La Ceiba tourism, it reveals a plethora of 90′s style websites that do contain a wealth of information, but look very outdated. It is important to note that the Internet is constantly evolving. Web design has changed substantially since the 1990′s. Primarily, the biggest change is that new content is always welcome and takes precedence over static content that never changes.

La Ceiba has been fortunate in that it is constantly growing. There is lots of new business popping up all over the place. Many restaurants and hotels, which are the primary tourist attractions, have no website, or simply choose to advertise on other websites, paying hundreds a month, and tens of thousands of dollars per year. They do not realize that making their own website is much cheaper and actually reaches a much wider audience.

Another overlooked factor is design. We don’t want overdone sites that look too busy and are useless because they have no clear navigation or just seem too cumbersome. It should be easy and intuitive to navigate a site and find all the information it provides. Usually, we like to keep things simple, straightforward, and intuitive, but still provide  class and style to make the website look professional.

2Active Design has helped many companies reach their target audience online and is pleased to offer it’s services locally in La Ceiba, Honduras.

Being born and raised in Honduras, I have grown with the Honduran market and advertising. After college in the United States, I have a clear understanding of both markets. Because of this experience, 2Active Design is able to differentiate between both markets and cater to their specialized needs.

First and foremost, Honduran business tends to have Spanish speaking employees and a great deal of decision making is done in Spanish. However, they want to work fluidly with the English speaking client-base and even other languages if necessary. Honduras has always depended greatly on investment from other countries and it would be quite limiting to work with clients in only one language. It is very desirable to have employees that speak at least two languages. Why should their website be any different?

Many design studios will say that making a website in more than language would hike up the price significantly since they will have to essentially create two copies of the website and translate everything. Here at 2Active Design, we take pride in the fact that we can offer the bilingual or multilingual feature in websites for less than $100 on top of the base price of a website. The system we use is quite capable of handling multiple languages, thus making multilingual web design a breeze.

While we use an automatic translator for 2Active Design, we always offer better technology to our clients. Dipshipping.com is the best example. That site uses manual translation, but it is much more natural than the automatic variety. When making new sites, I would stress for businesses that care for their international client-base to go with the manual translation feature. For businesses that want a redesign and already have plenty of content, it might be more effective to go with the automatic translation, as we did with 2Active Design. However, machine translation is not always the best, but most of the time, it will get the point across.

The best part is that 100% of the website is translated, not just the content. It’s as if you had two separate sites, but really only paid for one, and only manage one to add or edit content. This saves a great deal of money down the line for updates.

Honduran businesses need to have a bilingual web design at the very least. Spanish is the native language and is necessary for the local business. English is spoken to a higher extent around the world and is considered to be very important to handle in the international market. We should try our best to embrace other languages as much as possible. This will translate into more exposure and therefore, potential for more clients, and more profits.

In this challenging economy, the safest course of action to take is to diversify your client base. What better way to do it than by offering a multilingual tool that can be seen worldwide? Best of all it can handle incoming questions, requests and comments automatically and automatic translation can be used to have a regular conversation with your clients even if you don’t even speak the language!
