A/ The
timescale of a project is generally 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 of a site is waiting for content (text/images) to
be sent to us by the client.
A/ If you would like to use our
services, all you need is to inform us of the domain name you would like
to use and send us a brief idea of your requirements. You can check domain
name availability here. We 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.
This is then refined/changed in consultation with the client until
a satisfactory design has been reached. We will then need you to forward
content and images for your site and start to design the website for
you.
A/ No, we do everything for
you.
A/ The cost of a website
varies, depending upon the type of site you require. A basic site will
cost approx £300, a simple ECommerce site £600, a complex
ECommerce site/Database Driven site £1000+. Obviously each site
has to be treated on it's individual requirements, but these figures
should give you an idea of a figure. We will consider taking payment by
installments if necessary.
A/ If you are making an enquiry
about a possible site you would like created, please provide a brief
outline of your requirements. We 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 our services at any stage during this process,
so feel free to use the form to ask us any related questions you may
have.
A/ For larger projects we
generally ask for a 15% deposit from clients.
A/ FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
is a method of transferring files (web pages for example) from your
local PC to your web server. There are a variety of free ftp software
programs available on the Internet and they enable you to update your
website pages at any given time. When a hosting package is purchased 'ftp
details', consisting of the host name, User ID and password are sent to
us. Upon completion of the website and receipt of payment for any work
carried out, we will then send these details to the client.
A/ 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 recommed
you submit your site to Inktomi and FAST which can be done here.
A/ All webpages should be
'optimised'. This will enable your site to gain a high search engine ranking,
it revolves around the meta tags on your web pages, a web page that
isn't optimised won't appear in the search engines to any great degree.
