The timescale largely depends upon the client's requirements. Once a client has furnished us with the text/images and other information we need, we can usually have a few pages up and running within 24 hours.

If you would like to use our services all you need to do is inform us of the domain name you have chosen and send us a basic rundown of your requirements. We will then purchase the domain in your name, and then based on your guidance, design your initial web page.

Obviously you have to choose your own domain name but most of our customers prefer us to do everything else for them.

Costs are varied depending on your specifications. Our prices start at £55.00 for a simple one page site with a heading logo and maybe one or two images and some text. Extra pages (such as a Contact Form page) will then be £20.00 each. If you choose a 4 or 5 page site from the outset, then our prices start at only £95.00 (Template limitations apply to these budget packages). If you require a shopping cart system or some form of content management (such as a forum or blog) then we will need a more detailed discussion.

You will own your website entirely and after the first year may transfer to a host server of your choice.

All we need initially is a brief outline of your requirements (maybe a web address of the kind of site or themes you would like. We can then ask further questions and give you an idea of timescale/prices etc. and any suggestions we have.

We generally ask new clients for 25% deposit. Payment can be made by cheque, Bank transfer or by using PayPal.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a way of transferring web pages and files from your local PC to ther web server where your website is hosted. If you would like to be able to do this yourself then we can give the passwords and software you need (and free instructions).

We submit all websites we design to Google, Yahoo! MSN and DMOZ

All web pages should be 'optimised' so that they appear in search engines. A properly optimised site will achieve higher rankings in search engines like Google. The process includes 'meta tags' which are coded in the 'Head' section of the webpage where keywords and page descriptions are inserted for the information needed by automatic 'Robots' and 'Spiders' that visit periodically. More important though, are keywords and phrases used in the content of the page, and also links to and from other sites.
