Website Design
Many businesses now have a web presence and,
- when well designed, (sufficient information that's easy to find)
- hosted on reliable, fast servers, (available 99.99% of the time and quick enough to handle the throughput)
can be an invaluable source of introduction for new customers.
However, a poorly designed site with spelling errors and hosted on unreliable servers may actually lose you custom.
We do not host your web site on our server - we use professional hosting companies. We set up the hosting and purchase your domain name on your behalf. Actually, if we are designing your web site, we undertake this on your behalf at no extra cost. We feel we ought to mention that there are free hosting sites available however, this really is one area where you get what you pay for. You have been warned!
We offer a web design service that allows you to have as much or as little consultation in the process as you wish.
How much does it cost?
The cost of your website depends very much on what your requirements are.
To give an example of a typical basic website package:-
- You have already purchased your domain name and your hosting package (although if we are designing your web site, we offer to undertake this on your behalf at no extra cost);
- You want a site with say 5 to 8 pages that may include "About us" and "Contact us" pages and summaries of your products or services;
- We agree on the look for your site from a list of approximately 60 templates;
- You supply the words and some pictures in a digital format (i.e. you are able to email them to us or supply them on a CD/DVD/Memory Stick) perhaps of your products or your key personnel;
- We construct the web site, review it with you and then publish it!
- We then register your site with the major search engines.
- Minor amendments for the first month after publication are not chargeable. If we have made a mistake, they are obviously never chargeable.
Where we need to:-
- Develop a unique look for your website (not from a template);
- Create logos or Flash animations;
- Take photographs on your behalf;
- Re-type your words;
- Write the wording for you;
- Scan your photographs;
- Run an AdWords (Google or Microsoft sponsored links) campaign;
Or where your requirements differ from the above example, then the total package price is negotiable.
