Planning your web site

When planning your web site you ought to ask yourself the following questions:

• What is the purpose of the site? (promotional, info gathering, etc.)
• Who are your target audience (customers)?
• What information do you require to be displayed?
• What resources do you have to dedicate to the site? (budget, staff and time)

Site maintenance

It is vitally important that your web site is kept up to date. Users are often put off by a web site that never changes or contains out of date information.

We offer a full maintenance service where any changes or updates can be requested by telephone, fax or email.

Search engine submission

A web site, no matter how well designed, has little value if potential visitors are not aware that it exists. We implement a Search engine submission strategy to help your site gain maximum exposure. This includes:

• Search engine submissions.
• Web site optimisation.
• Meta tag generation.
• Robot search file generation.

Site statistics

• Number of hits (visitors)
• Pages visited
• Visit durations
• Countries of visitors

Prices

We charge on a page and hourly rate and so your overall costs will depend on:

• The number of pages and graphics displayed on your web site.
• Domain name and hosting costs.

A one page web site (including domain name and hosting) starts at £ 250:00
