Anybody can learn how to use a computer and make a web page. That part is easy. We have been teaching college and University students to design and write effective websites for the past twenty years. What we do is, we make the web page work, we make it useable and navigable. We endeavour to get the pages in the top 10 of the search engines. We help make the web pages make money for you ... and we do all that on time and on budget.

"The best designed and written website is useless if no one sees it."

When you take us on to your team, you get over 150 man years of experience of making web pages that are effective and work. We work to solve the navigation problems. We watch people using web pages and then we apply this research to designing the most effective web sites for you.We understand the principles of usability. We work out the best way to present your information. We explain all the options to you. We pay attention to the details. You get all the experience, so your website gets done properly. This is why we are worth every penny.

Why would you want us to maintain your site?

1. Us writing your web site frees you up to run your business instead of spending numerous hours learning how to maintain your site and learning how to not just create a website but a great website
2. Accuracy is important to us. We know that your site and the information on it are important to you. We do our best to get it right the first time!
3. Quick turnaround -Updates are usually done within 2 to 24 hours for Gold Service and within 72 hrs for the Bronze Service. Usually it is well within this time frame.

Web Site Maintenance Policy:

1. We maintain a current local backup copy of your web site, which is also backed up on our local server and held on a remote site.
2. "Maintenance" is defined as keeping the web site current. It is not intended to be a redesign or revamp.
3. Updates are completed within 24 hours of the time they are received, except weekends and holidays. Updates received after 3:00pm BST may not be completed until the next business day unless prior arrangements have been made.
4. Time is based on actual total time involved in completing the updates at the time of billing (usually on or about the 15th of the month). There is a one hour minimum charge for updates made during any given monthly billing cycle.
5. Although we make every effort to make accurate changes, it is the client's responsibility to review updates and notify us of any necessary changes that need to be made. We do not charge for changes that are our fault. However, if a change needs to be made due to client error, the regular hourly update fees will be charged.
6. We reserve the right to distinguish between "updates" and "new design". New design work is charged at our design rate.
7. Updates should be provided electronically (by email) as much as possible. Attachments should be in .txt or .doc (Word) format. Pictures need to be .jpg or .gif. Updates may also be sent by postal mail or by fax. These require retyping data or scanning photos and will cost more to complete the changes.
8. Your web site may be using third-party components (web site trackers, weather info-feeds, etc.). We have no control over what third party sites do and take no responsibility for loss of information due to actions of these sites. Any changes to your site stemming from regulations of these third party components will be billed at the normal hourly rate.

All web sites include:

There are many variables to consider for your web design or redesign needs.This includes: the number of pictures to be scanned and worked with, the time involved in making custom backgrounds and graphics, use of special effects, size and complexity of the site, whether or not major revisions are necessary and, finally, the overall time required to upload and test the final design. The site has to be designed with Search Engine Optimisation in mind, rather than as many do as an after thought or my getting another company to do the SEO work after the design has been done.
