Q.01 |
How much do you
charge for your website design services? |
| |
It depends on
what you want! A dynamic website design or a design where a lot of advanced
programming has been used will cost you more than a simple html website. To
be honest you would be better with a simple site, it will cost you a lot
less and a simple design will be easier to get ranked well in the search
engines. Visit our website design
prices page for more information. |
Q.02 |
Do I need to use
a website design company that is local to me? |
| |
Location in this business is totally unimportant. As long as you have a
telephone and an email address that is all that matters. We are based in
London, but not one of are clients are, infact some of our clients are on
the other side of the world. Not only can everything we need from you be
emailed to us, but it is a requirement of our service. All text should be
emailed to us (in a word document attachment if possible) and pictures
should be emailed to us in jpeg format, or of course, if you do not have any
suitable pictures for your website, we can generate images from our stock
library. |
Q.03 |
Why should I use
your website design services and not another company, and have you got a
proven track record? |
| |
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 search engine
optimization, most website design companies are not. Therefore, our unique and major selling point is in the fact that our
service is risk free. We design your website without asking for any payment
in advance - not even a deposit. You could phone us up right now and we
would start to design the first page of your site within the hour, ready for
your viewing within 24 hours, and if you did not like it, there would be no
charge. We are unaware of any other UK website design company offering this
service to its potential customers. |
Q.04 |
Are there any
hidden charges for your website design or optimization services? |
| |
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
optimization, 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.05 |
Can I see the
design while my website is under development? |
| |
Yes! Once the
design for 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.06 |
Can I make
changes to the website design or text content once it has been started? |
| |
Yes!
The main page will be uploaded for your approval. If you want changes made
to the design we can do it then. |
Q.07 |
How long will
the design of my website take? |
| |
It depends.
If you are just having a website designed and developed, about two weeks. If
you are having optimization carried out as well, around three weeks. 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.08 |
How much do you
charge for updates? |
| |
We only do
updates to websites that we design. Our minimum charge is £20 per
hour. Saying that if it's just a small change we usually don't make a
charge! |
Q.09 |
What screen
resolution will you design my website for? |
| |
Whatever
screen resolution you would like. Most people have their screen resolutions
set at 800x600 so that's the resolution we would usually design a website
for. |
Q.10 |
I would like to
use your website design service, what do I do now? |
| |
We can be
contacted about our website design services from the "contact us" or "Email"
links in the navigation column on the left, or better still give us a call
now using the phone number below. |
Q.11 |
How long does it
take for a design to be completed? |
| |
The timescale
of a project is generally dictated by the client. If you have a deadline in
mind I will endeavor 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 me by
the client. |
Q.12 |
I would like you
to design my site, what do I need to do now/what is the process? |
| |
If you
would like to use my services, firstly 'thank you', secondly to answer the
question - basically all you need to inform me is of the domain name you
would like to use and send me a brief idea of your requirements. You can
check domain name availability. I 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. |
Q.13 |
Do I need to buy
a domain name and hosting? |
| |
No, I do everything for you. |
Q.14 |
How much will it
cost? |
| |
Please see our Price List. |
Q.15 |
What happens
when I complete your contact form? |
| |
If you
are making an enquiry about a possible site you would like created, please
provide a brief outline of your requirements. I 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 my services at any stage during
this process, so feel free to use the form to ask me any related questions
you may have. |
Q.16 |
Where do I
submit my sites to the search engines? |
| |
It is free to submit to Google and you can do
that here, AltaVista is free, but to get your site refreshed
regularly you should pay to submit it here, and I would also recommend you submit your site to
Inktomi and FAST which can be done here. |
Q.17 |
I am a small
business owner. What can a website do for me? |
| |
A
website can offer your business many advantages, including a: More
professional company image Improved branding Increased sales Inexpensive
advertising Edge on the competition Better customer relations A website can
help your business reach new customers, keep you in closer contact with your
current customers, and enable you to respond quickly and efficiently in a
rapidly changing market. |
Q.18 |
What kind of
services will I need once the site is completed? |
| |
Some
websites require minimal maintenance while some require daily updates. Be
sure to discuss your site's future needs with your web developer. |
Q.19 |
After designing
the web-site, if it needs to be updated what is your maintenance fee to do
this? |
| |
We
offer free technical support and 30 days free maintenance/updates is
provided following site completion, installation and publishing. If you
anticipate minor changes/updates on an infrequent basis after the 30 day
grace period, website maintenance requests are invoiced at $35.00 per hour
in 15 minute increments, after all maintenance requests have been completed
to your satisfaction. NOTE: UP TO 2 HOURS OF MONTHLY EDITS/UPDATE TIME IS
BUILT INTO OUR HOSTING ACCOUNTS! |
Q.20 |
If there are any
problems, how are they corrected? Support service? |
| |
If
there are problems with the website's functionality, that would be our
responsibility. You are hiring a web designer/developer to not only design
your website, but make sure it is functional across all platforms and make
sure your users are getting the most benefit from your website. If there is
a server related problem, your web designer would interact with the web
hosting company to resolve those problems. We have close relationships with
several hosting companies and understand how they work and speak their
"language." |
Q.21 |
Would we need to
use your company to revise and update our website? |
| |
You can
call on us at any time to revise and update the website. This is an ongoing
service we provide to all our clients. Or, in the alternative, you can
select any designer of your choice. After we have completed a website, we
will provide you with (1) all the source files and code (2) a document which
contains all the passwords, usernames, database information and any other
information related to the website. Any experienced web designer should be
able to follow through. |
