Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the most common questions we are asked are listed below. If you have any other questions that are not listed below we would be happy to answer them.
How much does a website cost?
That will really depend on the type of website you want. There are so many different types of sites available from simple brochure style websites to database driven websites and e-commerce shops. You can use the quotation request form to give us an idea of the sort of site you are after and we will get back to you with a free no obligation quotation based on what you are looking for.
What information do you need from me?
We would need (ideally) a colour scheme that you like or examples of websites that you like that are of a similar nature to the one you would like, the text to go on the site and any existing logo or images that you already have. We can source royalty free stock images for use on the site if required.
What is a domain name and what is hosting?
A domain name is the address that people type into their web browser to get to your site, for example www.domainname.co.uk. Hosting relates to the setting up of web space and any other services required on a server, thus enabling people around the world to see your website once that has been created. Our servers can also host your email and we also offer webmail - a really handy facility where you can check your email from any internet connected computer.

We offer all of our clients great service and quality at affordable prices. Our work includes the following:-
- Bespoke Website Design - to your requirements.

Do you need any money upfront?
If you are a new client then we will need a small downpayment (usually 10% of the total price) with the signed agreement form prior to starting work on the site. The remaining balance for the work will be payable on completion.
Will our website be listed on Google?
We register all of our clients websites with the major search engines, including Google. It can take up to 6 weeks for the site to be picked up and ranked so it won't be listed immediately.
Can you get our website listed well in Google / Yahoo / MSN?
We generally have a very good success rate when it comes to getting sites listed well, even with our basic search engine optimisation (included free of charge). We can't guarantee a page one Google listing as there are millions of websites trying to get there but we can offer a premium search engine optimisation package for any clients that want to improve their page ranking.
Can we meet you to discuss the site?
If you are in the Greater London / south-east England area then we can arrange to meet with you. 99% of the time all of the project can be carried out via email and telephone- this in turn allows us to offer a faster turnaround time to you.
