We offer a comprehensive and
personal service, and we specialize in helping novices and
non-technical folk to bypass all the jargon and get a
quality website up on the web in a matter of weeks. We'll
tell you if we're unable to meet your requirements for any
reason, and we won't charge you for 'extras' that you don't
really need.
Our Packages
Include
Website
Design
This is the fun part! You provide us with some content -
typically the text and any graphics or images that you want
to display on your website pages, and we do the rest. We
welcome your input on your preferred style and colour
scheme, but if you'd rather just leave it to us, that's
okay too. The initial design and creation of your website
is included in your chosen package fee.
Website Hosting
In order to go
'live' so that people can actually visit your site, it has
to be physically 'hosted' on a computer server somewhere or
other. We have lots of available server space, and once
your site is ready we will upload it for you and it will be
visible to browsers all over the world within a day or two.
Website hosting is a renewable service. We include the
first year's hosting in your package, and will invoice you
annually when your hosting is due for renewal.
Website Maintenance
& Updates
There's only one
thing worse than a site that is hopelessly out of date, and
that is a site that doesn't load at all when someone tries
to access it. To prevent both of these niggles, we
encourage our customers to send us updated information on a
regular basis so we can keep your site relevant for your
visitors. We also take care to back up your site contents
regularly, and to monitor our server to make sure
everything is running smoothly in the background.
Both our packages include regular updates (quarterly or
monthly depending on the package) to the information on
your site. If you need more frequent updates than this, or
if you require a major site overhaul at any stage, we can
do this for you as a custom job for which we will provide a
quote upon request.
Email
Forwarding
Most customers like to have one or more email addresses
linked to their website name (e.g.
info@yourwebsitename.com; mail@yourwebsitename.com etc). We
include 2 or 5 email addresses as part of your package, and
can arrange automatic email forwarding from these addresses
to any existing email address of your choice.
Search Engine
Listing
In order for people to find your website, it is essential
to get listed with the major search engines. We take care
of this for you, and advise you on how to improve your
listing in a variety of different ways. We cannot guarantee
you will achieve a number one placing with Google, but we
will do our best to ensure that your site will come up when
people are searching for you or your products and services.
Paypal
Integration
If you have services or products you wish to market and
sell via your website, our Advanced Package includes the
integration of Paypal features into your site such as a
Shopping Cart or 'Buy Now' buttons. You will need a Paypal
business or merchant account to take advantage of this
feature, and we can help you to set one up if you haven't
already done so.
Additional
Services
Domain Name
Registration
Your domain name is the unique 'address' that will enable
people to find your website in seconds no matter where they
are located in the world. It can also be a catchy or
memorable name that will help to promote you or your
business. All domains begin with the prefix www, and end
with one of a limited number of suffixes, such as .com or
.co.uk. What you put in the middle is largely up to you,
provided no-one else has already registered the name before
you.
We'll advise you on your choice of name if you don't
already have one, and you can either register it yourself
or we can do it on your behalf. Domain name registration is
charged separately as the cost varies depending on the name
you require, and some customers prefer to register their
own names. Your domain name registration has to be renewed
every one or two years.
Google Analytics
Installation
If
you would like to track your site statistics, we can
install the necessary code to enable you to take advantage
of Google's free website analytics service. This will
provide you with detailed information on your site visitor
numbers, referring sites, successful search terms and much
more.
