Web Design Questions

▶ Can you produce web sites for individuals as well as businesses?

Certainly, it makes no difference to me whether you are a business or individual. i can create virtually any web site for my clients. Please contact me for further information.

▶ Can you make changes to my existing web site?

Of course, i will probably need access codes, but will happily work on any web site.

▶ Can you redesign an existing web site?

Yes. In most cases this is actually easier for me to redesign an existing web site and therefore will cost you less than creating a new web site from scratch. For a free quotation please contact me.

▶ Can you train me to update my web site myself?

Certainly, whether you have purchased a web site from me, or would like training creating or maintaining your own, I am are able to help. I use plain English to ensure that our clients understand what they are doing completely. In addition to this i can set up a Wordpress - content management system enabling clients to update areas of their site themselves.

▶ Do you have a system that allows me to update a web site myself?

Yes, I have a Wordpress - content management system that allows clients to update text and images on their web site easily using a password protected admin panel.

This is often used for regularly changing elements of a web site including special offers, latest news, blogs and noticeboards.

▶ I am interested in a web site, what happens next?

When you decide to proceed, i will usually produce a handful of designs for you to review. I will then modify these designs based on your feedback, and repeat this process until i have a design you are completely happy with. This is then turned into a fully operational web site and your content is added. You will have the opportunity to read and review our work throughout the process and, once any changes have been made, and the site approved, i will make it live and submit it to the major search engines. Please contact me if you would like me to design your web site.

▶ Are there any hidden costs?

I pride myself in having no hidden costs. Each of my proposals will detail exactly what you are paying and what it is for. If there are any annual costs they will be clearly indicated before work commences keeping you in control throughout. If you require any updates at a later date i will charge only for the work done.

▶ How long will a website take to make?

This is dependent on the size and complexity of a site. Small web sites can often be completed within a week or two, whilst larger web sites may take several months. I always provide timescales with my free proposals to ensure that clients know exactly what to expect.

▶ How much will a web site cost?

Each of my websites are unique, and therefore it is difficult to provide a generalised cost. For this reason i discuss you requirements in detail before producing a proposal outlining all costs, requirements and timescales. For clients based further afield i can usually do this over the phone or by email. I can provide an approximate cost over the phone if you are just after an idea of the costs involved.

▶ Why do I need a web site for my business?

Within the last decade the popularity of the Internet has massively increased and this looks set to continue, web sites are now the first place that most people look for information or to buy products and services. With such high numbers of worldwide visitors coupled with the ability to display countless pages of vital information, the question should be "can I afford not to have a web site for my business?".
