Answers:

Do I really need a web site?

These days more and more people are using the internet to find the products and services they need. It's much quicker typing a query into a search engine than to trawl through the ads in the local paper, etc. Using a web site to market and promote your business is the most effective option as your website will be working for you 24 hours a day - 7 days a week. Online advertising is also a much cheaper alternative to traditional advertising.

When do I have to pay?

When I have finished your site and it has been approved by you I will invoice you for the work. Purchase of your hosting package and chosen domain name will be done once your payment has cleared. Your site will be then uploaded to your webspace. It's as simple as that.

Payment can be made by cheque or Postal Order.

How long will it take to build my web site?

This will depend on the number of pages and the information and photographs you require on your site but once I have all of your information a 4 page site should normally take no more than 5 days.

What information will you need?

I will need photographs (most image formats are acceptable), text typed in an e-mail, notepad or word processor and ready to be cut and pasted into your pages - I will proof read this to make sure there are no errors. I will also need to know the number of pages you require (if you are unsure please let me know). Any further information you wish included on your page or site, like contact details.

The information and images can be e-mailed to me (which is the best option) or you can put it on a CD or DVD and send it to me at the address shown on the Contact page. If you are sending photographs by post I will scan these and return the originals to you as soon as possible.

If you do not have suitable images they are available to purchase at very reasonable prices. An image for your header will be provided if your site has 4 or more pages, unless you prefer me to use your own images.

NB: Please use your own images - do not download or copy them from the internet or use images scanned from a book, magazine, etc, as this is likely to infringe copyright.

Can I have any domain name?

Domain names play a part in getting your site listed higher in the search engines so choosing the right name is extremely important. Bear in mind also that some names will have already been taken so you may have to select an alternative name if the name you want has already gone. If you are unsure of the name you want please ask.

Can I use my own logo?

If you already have a logo that's fine - e-mail or send it to me as an image file and I will put it on your site. If not I can design a logo for you at a very reasonable price. Please see prices page for more details.
