A/ 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.
A/ If you would like to use our 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.
You can check domain name availability here. We will then purchase the domain in
your name, purchase the right hosting package for your project and then based on
your guidance,design an initial web page for you.
This is then refined/changed in consultation with the client until a
satisfactory design has been reached. We will then need you to forward content
and images for your site and start to design the website for you.
A/ No, we do everything for you.
A/ The cost of a website varies, depending upon the type of site you require.
Obviously each site has to be treated on it's individual requirements, but those figures should give you an
idea of a ballpark figure.
We request a 50% deposit for all standard sites and 75% for larger database
driven projects. The balance of payment is then due on completion of the
project.
Payment can be made by cheque delievered to our bank in the US or Bank transfer to US Bank or Cayman Bank.
The only ongoing cost will be your annual hosting fee.
A/ All our designs are created and conceived from your requirements. We don't
use ready made templates, all our sites are designed from scratch. So if you
want a green website with pink spots you can have one!
We aim to give all of our clients 'value for money' websites. Granted you may
find a cheaper offer out there and no doubt a lot more expensive solutions.
Every below comes as standard with our designs:-
Custom Website Design - your own unique look and feel. Domain name and web
hosting Ethical coding Optimised web pages Optimised graphics Cross browser
compatibility Great prices A range of solutions Free support Free advice
A/ If you are making an enquiry about a possible site you would like created,
please provide a brief outline of your requirments. We will then mail you back
promptly with an idea of price/timescale and any suggestions with regard to your
project. You are not obliged to use our services at any stage during this
process, so feel free to use the form to ask any related questions you may have.
A/ Yes we generally ask for a 50% deposit from clients.
A/ FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a method of transferring files (web pages for
example) 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 the website and receipt of payment for any work carried out, we
then send these details to the client.
A/ It is free to submit to Google and you can do that here. We submit all
websites we design to Google.
A/ All web pages should be 'optimised'. This will enable your site to gain a
high search engine ranking, it revolves around the meta tags on your web pages,
a web page that isn't optimised won't appear in the search engines to any great
degree. For more on optimisation click here.
A/ In the majority of cases a meeting isn't necessary and 90% of our sites are
generally completed with contact via email and telephone only.
A/ After the completion of a website project we are available for after sales
service. Any slight tweaks or amendments are carried out to the site free of
charge in the first month. Any support thereafter will be charged at an hourly
rate of $65.
