How much will my site cost?
That depends largely on what you want. Our rates are extremely competitive. Upon acceptance of our proposal, we will require a deposit of 40% of the quoted total price to initiate the project, the balance will be split into instalments payable on achievement of agreed milestones. We create a contract which either contains a detailed scope of work or references one - based on precisely what you have indicated you need. We require your signature before we start the actual building. It sets out what we do, what we'll need from you (content), plus how and when we'll complete each stage (agreed milestones). You'll know exactly what to expect before we get started. And so will we. In addition, we offer extremely reasonable maintenance contracts to do your updates, additions/deletions so that your site is always current. We have per page pricing, hourly rates, and site packages.

Can you offer a complete package: I really don't know much about the web; What if I want it all done for me?
We certainly can. We'll design, build and maintain your site based on your needs. We use trusted, reliable hosts on state of the art servers. Or you may simply need to set up an e-commerce section of your existing site. Or advice on updating your present site. Whatever your need, we'll meet it.

How do I decide on a design for my site?
In short - Yes. Use a design as a starting point, the layouts you see are as 'blank slates'. Colors, text style, text size, placement of graphics and images, and many features ('Light-box', 'Accordion', 'Popups', 'tickers', 'scrollers', 'galleries', 'streaming video', news feeds, blogging software etc) are available to enhance the way your site appears and works for you.

Do I have to create my own content?
In most instances a client will provide the content and we will design the webpages around that content. However, we can provide content creation services - we will create a draft document based on the criteria you provide and add it to you site after you have made any changes and approved it.

What do you mean by 'content'?
What will go on each page… text (information), images (photos, etc), music or video and so on.

How long will it take to design my website and take it live?
Normally we will agree on a schedule that takes into account your requirements and our resources. If there is a live date that we must meet then we will do everything in our power to meet it for you. In our experience the client can speed up the process by ensuring they give concise instructions on how they want their site and provide as much content as possible at the beginning of the project.

After the site is live what happens?
We do not desert you at the end of a website build if you have opted not to use our website management services. We encourage you to give us feedback about your site and will make any minor amendments or content updates for a short time free of charge as part of our agreement. Going forward from there our services are available for changes/updates, etc.

What's SEO - Search Engine Optimisation?
Every page of your new site will be coded to be search engine friendly and optimised'. This ensures your website gets the best possible start in the SERP (Search Engine Results Pages) compared with other non optimised sites. We use google approved good / white hat techniques so you can ensure your site will not be penalised for using sneaky techniques to get onto Google and the others.

Do I own the Website code?
Absolutely. When the project has been paid in full ownership of the Web site design will transfer to you.
