Questions WEBSITE DESIGN
  How long does it take for a site to be completed?

The timescale of a project is generally dictated by the client.
If you have a deadline in mind we will endeavour to meet it for you. The most common delay in the creation of a site is waiting for content (text/images) to be sent to us by the client.

  How much will it cost?

The cost of a website varies. It depends upon the amount of information, number of pages and number of photographs/images it is to contain. It is also dependent on whether or not original artworks/logos are to be created for the site.

A single page including domain name and 12 months hosting will cost approximately £200, with extra pages (dependant on content) costing from £80 each.

Obviously each site has to be treated on it's individual requirements, but these figures should give you a fair idea of cost.

  Will I be able to take customer orders on my site?

Absolutely. You will be able to take orders from your customers via your website with your email return form.

  Do I need to buy a domain name and hosting?

No, just let us know the www. address you would like to use.

You can check availability for uk based names at Nominet or for US names at Internic

  What do I get for my money?

You will get 'value for money'.

You might find cheaper. You'll certainly find more expensive.
You absolutely won't get a site built around a template.
You will get a site built to suit your business and its requirement.

Your graphics will be optimised to enable faster browsing

  Do I need to send a deposit for the work?

We do request a 50% deposit in all cases.

Payment can be made by cheque.

  What is ftp?

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a method of transferring files (web page's, images, photographs etc.) from your local PC to your web server. There are a variety of free ftp software programs available on the Internet and they enable you to update your website pages at any given time. When a hosting package is purchased 'ftp details', consisting of the host name, User ID and password are sent to us. Upon completion of your website and receipt of payment for work carried out, we will then send these details to you.

  How do I get listed in Google?

We submit all websites we design to Google and Yahoo!

  What is optimisation?

Optimisation for web pages involves selecting the right key words to place in a websites meta tags to enable as higher search ranking as possible.

Optimisation of website graphics involves shrinking the file sizes as much as possible (without compromising the quality of the images) so as to enablefaster page loading for your prospective customers.

  What after sales support do you offer?

Slight tweaks or amendments are carried out to the site free of charge in the first month. Any support thereafter will be charged at our hourly rate of £25.

  I would like you to design my site, what do I need to do now/what is the process?

If you would like to use our design services all you need to do is inform us of the domain name you would like to use and send us a brief idea of your requirements via the form on the contact page.
We will then, (on receipt of your 50% deposit), purchase the domain in your name, along with web space for your project and then based on your guidance, design an initial web page for you.

This design is then refined in consultation with you, until satisfactory.
We will then need you to forward content and images for your site and start to design the website for you.
