How come our service is so cheap?
We realised that not everyone needs to pay for a bespoke website. Don't get us wrong, your website will be unique to your business with everything you require, it's just that it may have the same 'feel' as other websites. This is how we keep the costs to an absolute minimum. We use website design templates we have previously made, or ones that are freely available online, and use these as the foundation for creating your very own bespoke website. This vastly cuts down the design time and hence our costs are kept as low as possible.
This saves you hundreds of pounds in initial design costs alone!
We see it as very much like having your own company van - you wouldn't dream of going out and having your own design for a van made and built when there are plenty out there that will do the job very well. It's what's written on them that makes them unique to your business and advertises your company.
It's probably easier to show you an example of what we mean.
This is a site we have produced: Safe-2-Tread.co.uk, and this is the basic template we used: Boorish Template. Although the sites have a similar 'feel' you can see how we can vary the design to include pictures, maps, email etc. Why pay hundereds, or thousands even, for a design service that ends up reproducing pretty much what's already available!
How many pages can my website have?
You can have up to 6 pages, although it may be possible to have more if they are very similar. However, if you are only after a very simple site you may be interested in a our slightly cheaper option for a website consisting of just a single page. Although this still requires considerable work by us, it does cut down our development and maintenance time so we can offer this for a fixed fee of just £119.95 per year.
What colour schemes do you use?
We have a variety of colour schemes and can vary them to suit your needs.
How do I choose a design?
Usually we will try to find one that suits your needs but you're welcome to suggest one that we can have permission to use. A good source to browse for ideas is Template World (this is where our page design is from). You could also look at Free Website Templates or Free CSS Templates. If you see a design which you would like us to modify for you just let us know.
I've seen a design I like but the pictures are all wrong. Can these be changed?
Of course. You can supply or suggest your own pictures or we can source some suitable ones for you. If we find them for you there is usually a small copyright fee to pay, typically around £2 per picture.
Can I sell products on the site?
Obviously you can promote anything you like (within reason), but as our service is primarily for small business services we do not incorporate a 'shopping trolley' option. The ability to sell products online requires a much more complex solution. If you intend opening an online shop then you will need a specialist service which we do not currently provide.
What will my website say?
No one knows your business like you do, so this is the one area we must rely on you to tell us what to publish.
I don't think my English is good enough to write a website!
Once again, there's no need to worry. As a matter of course we will take your wording and check it for any spelling or grammar corrections we believe should be made. We will suggest any corrections and submit them to you for approval. We may not be perfect but we are confident that we can do a respectable job.
I already have a company logo, can I use that?
Absolutely. Send us your logo and we will use it to promote your image.
What if I don't like the design?
We aim to make the whole process very easy for you but you will have complete approval rights. We will send you drafts for approval throughout the whole process. Ultimately, if you don't like what we have produced you won't be charged!
I need to update some information on the site, how do I do this?
Don't worry about having to get technical! As our service is a fully supported one we will do the updates for you. To keep the costs down for everyone, typically we would ask that the site not be updated more than once a month, but no reasonable request will be ignored. Fair expectations all round is all we ask.
I have 101 other questions!
That's understandable... simply drop us an email or give us a call. We'll do our best to help.
Important: The best bit about this is our design service is FREE! If you don't like the result there's nothing to pay.
