I would like a Web site but it seems very complicated....
To us there is no such thing as a ‘standard’ web site. Each site should be as individual
in style and content as the business it represents. We designed our first web site
over a decade ago - in it’s first year - it generated sales in excess of One Million
Pound!!!
Over the subsequent years we have designed several sites for local businesses - which
to our knowledge - has generated sales in the region of tens of millions of pounds!
The majority of web site design companies put the emphasis on such features as ‘front
end design’ and ‘back room functionality’ - they refer to such features as ‘bespoke’
language programming, referring to such mystical terms as HTML programming, CSS style
sheets and search engine optimisation - and many more complex references which the
general public do not understand - and cannot question.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is that any web site should include at least the following content:
We can include such features and resources as:
Don’t worry if you don’t know what you want:
Domain Registration (.co.uk or .com)
Unlimited web space and email accounts
High Speed, reliable and secure Hosting of your website
Logo design (if required)
Banner design
Up to 5 Pages of bespoke design and development
Site optimisation for search engines
Manual search engine submission
Ongoing support and technical support
It’s our job to advise you in clear understandable terms. Our recommended ‘starter’

So you’re one of those businesses that hasn’t yet got a web site.
We’re sure you probably have plenty of reasons to justify why you haven’t taken the
step - but we think the time is now right for every business.
Let’s just look at the market facts as reported by the National statistics Office
(Aug 2009) :
A ‘Home’ Page - to introduce your business, and to capture the visitor’s attention.
You must focus on ‘reasons to buy’: opening hours; why you are better than your competition!
A ‘Contact’ Page - to provide any visitor with easy access to your business, whether
it be phone numbers, physical address, email address, google map location, skype
details or any other VOIP information.
An ‘About us’ page - to educate the visitor on your history and experience in the
business - this provides the visitor with confidence in your ability as a supplier..
‘Products’ and or ‘Services’ page/s - to highlight and expand upon what you offer
the customer/visitor.
Our approach is different - we view a web site as a ‘marketing tool’ to generate
interest and ‘enquiries’ - and therefore a web site’s success (or failure) is purely
measured by it’s results -nothing more and nothing less!
This philosophy comes from our background, which is - we are business people first
- and web site designers second....we make no apologies for this approach and it
is certainly not meant as criticism of web site designers. We focus on what you expect
from your site and not how we will design and build it.
