Why do i need a website? |
|
|
You need a Website to be in the same market place as
your competitors, or better still to be there first. It is
your opportunity to promote your company to millions of
potential customers.
You are probably already using marketing brochures to
attract customers, but have you ever thought about
distributing over 600 million?
According to the CIA's World Factbook, the Worldwide
Internet Population for 2002, was 604,111,719 and the
forecast for 2004 is 945 million. |

|
How much does it cost? |
|
|
There is no definitive answer to this question.
The cost for a new website will vary considerably,
according to the complexity of the design and the number
of pages.
The best way to get some idea is to complete our
pricing form. The
form asks only the most basic of questions, but is
sufficient for us to e-mail you a price guide.
We also have frequent
special offers which are
advertised on our pricing
page. |

|
Can i use a website image in my brochures? |
|
|
The resolution of images designed for the web is not
good enough to be used for printed material, so there is
little advantage to owning such images. |
|
|
|
Who registers my website with the search engines? |
|
|
We will register your website for you with any of the
leading search engines that offer a free submission
scheme. For a search engine that has an annual
subscription fee and/or a Cost-Per-Click (CPC) scheme, we
will direct you to the appropriate registration page, but
will be unable to carry out the actual process as your
payment details will be required
The free registration can take up to six weeks for your
website to be indexed and with no guarantee that it will
be accepted.
The fee based registration schemes guarantee that your
website will be accepted and regularly indexed, usually
once every 24hrs. |

How do I update my website? |
|
|
There are three options available to you.
The first is to let us maintain your website. We will
update the content at a much lower rate than we charge for
new websites and can even arrange a monthly maintenance
service, if you feel that your site will require frequent
updating.
The second option would be to let someone else update it
for you, although we would obviously prefer you to stay
with us.
Lastly, if you have some knowledge of HTML you could
update the website yourself. |
|
|
|
How long will it take? |
|
|
The key issues here are how many pages your website will
have, what format you provide the content in and the
amount of design work involved.
For example, if you want a website of 10 pages and
provide all of the textural content in Word format, the
time taken to produce your website will be considerably
less than if you wanted 10 pages but sent us handwritten
content to input ourselves.
An approximate time would be 3-4 weeks, with one of
those weeks being dedicated to producing the design and
the remainder to adding the content. |

|
|
Who owns the copyright? |
|
|
Even this question is not as clear cut as it should be.
We are the copyright holders for all original design,
graphics and source code.
You obviously have the copyright on the content you
supplied us with.
The website will almost certainly include common code
which will be on many websites. |
