  • How much does a web site cost?
  • There are few factors that affect the cost of your web site. These include: Number of Pages you are going to have, If you require flash animations on your website, The graphic works it may contain, How interactive it will be, Need web hosting and domain name registration etc.
  • How long does it take to design and develop website?
  • The timescale of a website design project is often dictated by the client. If you have a deadline in mind we will endeavour to meet it for you. The most common delay in the creation and completion of a new website is waiting for content (text/images) to be sent to us by the client. Also the time is determined by the size of your web site, the complexity of your site design, and our current client design schedule.
  • What is web hosting?
  • Web hosting is a yearly fee that you pay to have your site online on the Internet. We provide web hosting for our clients.
  • What is site maintenance?
  • It's a yearly paid service to keep your website updated with the new or updated/edited contents you provide. This is an optional service that we provide for our customers.
  • Why can't I find my web site in the search engines?
  • Once your site has been submitted to the top Search Engines they may require several weeks, or even months to actually list your web site in their directory. How fast your site is listed depends on each individual Search Engines database update schedule.
  • Web Site Content - What Do I Put On My Site?
  • That would depend on the goals of your web site. If you run a business website you would include as much information about your products or services that your customers would need to purchase from you.
  • Will we need to have a meeting in connection with the website design?
  • In the majority of cases a meeting isn't necessary and most of our websites are generally completed with contact via email and telephone only. We place suggested website designs onto the Internet in a private place where only yourselves and us can view the content. We then liaise with you regularly to discuss the web designs in order that the website design and functionality is exactly as you wish.
  • Once my website design is completed -what after sales service do you offer?
  • We fully support any website we design and are always available. We offer web site maintenance so that your website need never get out of date
  • In what format should I supply words and photographs about my business for my new website?
  • It is helpful to us if you are able to provide text and photographs in electronic form - for example, the files output by a digital camera and the words in MS word or similar format. If this is not possible, we can help get your information ready for use on the website.
  • Will my website design be " Search Engine" friendly?
  • All our websites are created with search engines in mind and the website design is compliant with search engine guidelines. It is a good idea for your website to be re-evaluated in time as over a period of time the search engines do alter their rules and algorithms and you will want to be certain that your website is kept up to date and complies with new rules etc.
  • Do I need a database on my website?
  • This will depend upon the amount of information you wish to be displayed on your website. If you have many products/services, then it may be advantageous to have a database incorporated into your website design. We will discuss this in detail with you and if a database is advised we will explain in detail exactly how this will work. We can tailor your website design to suit your specific requirements.
  • How do I update my website?
  • There are many different methods which can be used to update websites. The method you choose and the functionality we build into your website design is solely up to yourself although of course we will be glad to advise you which method will suit your needs.
  • Do you use Flash animation in your website design?
  • Yes we do use flash as and when required. It is important to note that there are times when flash animations can be an asset but it would be unwise to use "flash" to create an entire website or even entire pages of your website as search engines are not able to read the content of flash and therefore any words used in animations will not be indexed by the search engines.

    Generally it is best to use flash for smaller banners, advertisements or demonstrations and incorporate the flash animation into a web page which also includes some written text in html. This way the search engines will be able to index your information
  • Can I get e-mail with my website?
  • Yes you can have email and you will probably wish you set-up several email addresses
  • How many pages can I have on my web site?
  • As many as you like. From a search engines point a view - The more the better!
  • I already have a website and I need it updating, can you help me?

  • Yes we do. We can redesign, retaining your company corporate style or we can redesign to give you a complete new image. Is your website up to date - let us provide you a Free of Charge Website Evaluation - we can redesign your website to take advantage of the latest web technologies
  • What if I do not like the design?
  • If you do not like the design which we have suggested for you, we will discuss further with a view to ascertaining what type of design you would like to see and then place another "suggested design" in your web area for you to view. We would not like to think that you are not happy with the final website design. Our aim is to design for you a website specific to your requirements which you are completely happy with.
  • Who owns the website once the website design is completed?
  • The website belongs to you - we send you a copy of the website on cd. This copy is for your retention and should you wish to use another web design or web hosting company - you are completely at liberty to take this copy to them for them to use.
