You’ve been there before.

You searched a website and found yourself time-warped. How disappointing to land on an outdated webpage!

It’s not just about the look and feel of the site. Its content and navigation should also be up-to-date and user-friendly. Agree?

This is crucial. Especially if you’re looking up a support site or help centre for your website. Would be a hassle to access a self-service support option that’s old-looking and clunky.

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.

It’s all about engaging your investor audience with valuable content. You probably already know this or have heard it a few times before.

That’s why you’ve made your debut into social media, just like other socially savvy businesses. You’ve started your company’s Twitter account or LinkedIn page. Maybe even Facebook page and YouTube channel.

Your website gives information about your company, like your products and services, corporate news and contact details, right?

But what if your site can upgrade to an effective investor relations tool too? One that would provide you a whole online investor presence.

Your online investor presence would focus on stakeholders and attract them to your website. This would then encourage them to move to the next steps. To potentially become a committed shareholder.

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.

Just a quick shout out to celebrate more ASX-listed clients using IRM Newsroom, our news delivery tool!

Through Newsroom, over 125 companies are now enjoying immediate distribution of ASX announcements to their websites, email subscribers and social media channels.

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.

(This blog post was inspired by insights Peita Diamantidis shared at “Amplify Your News: Using Digital Media to Grow Your Investor Following,” a recent IR event presented by IRM and Computershare.)

Digital media can help you engage with your investor community and advance your business. Particularly if you’re an ASX-listed small cap company. This means of communication will provide you a unique opportunity for personal connection with your investor audience.

What was the first thing you did when you woke up this morning? Checked your email? Twitter or Facebook?

Digital media, a combination of technology and content, is so much a part of our daily lives. Whether or not we choose to tap into it first thing in the morning, we turn to it one way or another at some point during the day.

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.

We guess you’re as passionate about your online investor relations presence as we are. Reaching investors online, at the touchpoints of their choosing and at the time they choose, is the main challenge of online IR activities. We’re happy to help with our suggestions, specifically tailored for you.

Perhaps your email strategies need a lift, or your social media presence needs to work harder for you. Does your home page help people like you, get the key messages through, and “Sell” the first click?

Maybe your Investor Centre could use more pages? You’d want your current dividends or capital structure to stand out, right?

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 unveiled investor-focused websites for Seymour Whyte Limited (ASX:SWL) and its two divisions. The infrastructure, engineering and construction firm holds a group portfolio that consists of Seymour Whyte Constructions and Rob Carr Pty Ltd, its civil and utilities infrastructure divisions, respectively.

When was the last time you connected with your investors? Communicating with shareholders is undeniably a vital element of a well-managed ASX-listed company. And a corporate blog is a simple yet direct channel you can use to meet this communication need.

A company blog is a user-friendly platform that empowers a business to engage with the investor community, including current and potential stockholders. Think of it as a short thoughtful letter that contains timely and relevant information to your stakeholders. It’s also a reliable source of data where venture capitalists and angel investors can consider a prospective investment in your business.

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.

Some readers of ASX Announcements containing links to web pages (or email addresses) have been frustrated with an apparent inconsistency in whether the links are clickable or not. This note provides some guidance on a way to include links in a PDF document so that they will (almost always) work on the recipients’ technology.

IRM recently revitalised the website of AUB Group Limited (ASX:AUB) as part of efforts to reinforce the company’s investor relations. AUB Group is a leading equity-based risk management, advice and solutions provider in Australasia.

Under the direction of AUB Group, IRM implemented a fresh design for the site’s home page that includes a live share price chart and ASX updates, among other modifications. Powered by IRM’s HQi content management system, the webpage likewise carries a visual timeline to showcase the company’s rich corporate history.

Melbana Energy (ASX:MAY) partnered with IRM to launch a robust website in a bid to expand the company’s online presence. Presently, the oil and gas enterprise has a portfolio of exploration, appraisal and development stage opportunities in Cuba, New Zealand, Ashmore Cartier and Bonaparte Gulf regions in Australia

IRM is pleased to announce the latest investor-focused website of Laneway Resources (ASX:LNY). Laneway is an Australian exploration company with assets in gold and coal.

IRM initially created an ultramodern look with a corporate appeal for the new site. Then its HQi content management system was deployed to keenly showcase Laneway’s business in the web pages.

IRM teamed up with Tesserent (ASX:TNT) to integrate the IRM Newsroom in the cyber security company’s website. Tesserent offers businesses world-class perimeter protection, internal monitoring and alerts, secure internet connectivity and co-location.

With the IRM Newsroom incorporated in Tesserent’s site, the company will be able to quickly communicate ASX announcements, share prices and reports to investors throughout Australia and around the globe.
