FAQ

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Q. How long does it take for a design to be completed?

 

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.

Q. I would like you to design my site, what do I need to do now/what is the process?


A. If you would like to use our services all you need to do is contact us with a brief outline of your requirements and content. Based on this information we will prepare a quotation and if you are happy we will then purchase the domain in your name, set-up a hosting plan, and 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.
 

Q. Do I need to buy a domain name and hosting?


A. No, we do everything for you.

Q. How much will it cost?


A. The cost of websites can vary greatly, the variables are:

  1. Level of your design requirements - The more detailed the design brief you supply the more effiecently we can produce the right site design.
  2. Level of functionality, amount of custom programming required.

As a starting point we can build a basic site for approx $430.0, an eCommerce site, $3000. Obviously each site has to be treated on it's individual requirements, but these figures should give you an indication of the figures involved.

We request a 25% deposit in all cases and will consider taking payment by installments if necessary.

Payment can be made by cheque, bank transfer or by using Payal.

The only ongoing cost will be your annual hosting fee and domain name registration.

 Q. What happens when I complete your contact form?


A. If you are making an enquiry about a possible site creation, 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 any related questions you may have.

Q. Do I need to send a deposit for the work?


A. Yes we generally ask for a 25% deposit from clients.

Q. How do I get listed in Google?

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

 

Q. What is optimisation?

A.  All web pages should be 'optimised'. This will enable your site to gain a high search engine ranking, web pages that are not optimised won't appear in the search engines to any great degree.

A. In the majority of cases a meeting isn't necessary and 90% of our sites are generally completed with contact via email and telephone only.
