What will it all cost?
- No two websites are the same and often the costs vary, but for an example site:
- Web Site Name URL from £2.99 per year Cost depends on the top level domain chosen.
- There are lots of new top level domains - .solutions, .limited, .services now available, for the best Search Engine Optimisation.
- Web Hosting from £3 per month or £25 per year.
- A five Page Website starts at around £350. For this you get and index page leading to four others, An site written in HTML5 and CSS3 (unless you want something else). This site is optimised for search engines.
- Advertising on Google. This depends on the field you are in. Typical prices are between £50 and £200 per week to advertise on Google to keep you at the top. Our skills with search engines will get you on the top without this expense which significantly improves your return on your investment.
- From the basic sites can can either add on more technology or we can build a full e-commerce system from scratch.
- How involved will I be in the design? Some clients want lots of involvement others want to leave it all up to us. Either way you are in charge.
Websites don't run themselves.
- Do you want to run the website or do you want us to look after it for you?
- How often do you wish to update and change to website?
- How current is your information going to be?
- Do you need to change information every week?
- Do you need email boxes or just redirection?
Do you need a Designer or a Business?
Many websites are designed by graphical artists. They look good abut don't get the business.
Some of our customers have idea of what their website should look like. The branding that they want to use. the colours and perhaps the text.
We take these ideas and produce a website that works, not one that is designed just by a graphic artist but one that uses the artists skill with those of business men with years of experience in marketing and programming to achieve a balanced site.
