Q How much do you charge for your website design services?
A It depends on what you want. A dynamic design where a lot of advanced programming has been used will cost you more than a simple HTML website. In a majority of cases, a simple site is a far better option - it will cost you a lot less and a simple design is easier to get ranked well in the search engines. Visit our prices page for more information.
Q Do I need to use a company that is local to me?
A No you don't, as everything can be done over the internet or the telephone. We design websites for companies worldwide and rarely meet our clients, some of whom have been clients of ours for years. Our door is always open to anyone who would like a personal meeting but we rarely visit customers unless they live in our locality. This helps to keep our prices low!
Q Why should I use your website design services and not another company, and have you got a proven track record?
A We provide a one to one personal service and are friendly and accommodating. We are always available by phone or email to answer your questions. Our website design prices are very competitive. We are experts in both search engine optimisation and copywriting, whereas most companies are not. Read what our clients say about us on our testimonials pages and you'll see our reputation speaks for itself.
Q Are there any hidden charges for your design, copywriting or optimisation services?
A No. Once we have all the information about your requirements you will be given a price and that price will stand firm for both the website design, and the optimisation if required. The only time a given price would change is if you want another page or any other material added before completion of the website.
Q Can I see the design while my website is under-going development?
A Yes. Once the main page has been completed it will be uploaded to our server for your approval. After approval the rest of website will be developed.
Q Can I make changes to the website design or text content once it has been started?
A Yes. The main page will be uploaded for your approval. If you want changes made we will do it then.
Q How long will the design of my website take?
A That depends. If you are just having a website designed and developed, it will take about two weeks to complete. If you are having optimisation or copywriting carried out as well, three weeks is more likely and a lot depends on what your requirements are. We like to tell everyone a month, that way we don't make promises we can't keep.
Q How much do you charge for updates?
A We only do updates to websites that we design. Our minimum charge is £40 per hour but having said that, if only a small change is required, we usually don't make a charge.
Q What screen resolution will you design my website for?
A Whatever screen resolution you specify. Most people have their screen resolutions set at 800x600 so that's the resolution we would usually design a website for.
Multimedia
While Flash increases usability of a website and greatly enhances its visual impact, the application of multimedia technology is not recommended in the building of a website where SEO copywriting has been used for the purpose of gaining high rankings.
Design
Visual impact is an essential aspect of effective website design and the use of a font that is available on all computers will ensure that everyone will view all your copy content in the way
you intend. Using a unique or obscure font is only ever going to be seen by web-users whose computers support that particular style as well - the others will simply see it in a standard type, like Times New Roman or Arial.
Optimisation
When search engine optimisation is applied throughout the development process of any website and continued for as long as the site can be an indispensible marketing asset to your company, there is no reason why your business shouldn't attain great success.
Copywriting
A large proportion of web-users tend to 'scan' the copy content of a website rather than read it word-for-word, particularly if there is a lot on one page, so well-thought out and carefully structured copywriting that doesn't 'waffle' will provide all the information necessary without inducing a sense of boredom half-way through!
