Frequently Asked Questions
The
following questions are some of the most frequently
asked by people considering a Website.
If you have a question which is not on this page,
please
e-mail
us.
Why do I need a Website?
You need a Website to be in the same market place as
your competitors, or better still to be there first.
It is your opportunity to promote your company to
millions of potential customers.
You are probably already using marketing brochures
to attract customers, but have you ever thought about
distributing over 600 million?
According to the CIA's World Factbook, the Worldwide
Internet Population for 2002, was 604,111,719 and the
forecast for 2004 is 945 million.
How much does it
cost?
There is no definitive answer to this question.
The cost for a new Website will vary considerably,
according to the complexity of the design and the
number of pages.
The best way to get some idea is to complete our
pricing form.
The form asks only the most basic of questions, but is
sufficient for us to e-mail you a price guide.
The resolution of images designed for the web is not
good enough to be used for printed material, so there
is little advantage to owning such images.
Who registers my Website with the
search engines?
We will register your website for you with any of
the leading search engines that offer a free
submission scheme. For a search engine that has an
annual subscription fee and/or a Cost-Per-Click (CPC)
scheme, we will direct you to the appropriate
registration page, but will be unable to carry out the
actual process as your payment details will be
required
The free registration can take up to six weeks for
your website to be indexed and with no guarantee that
it will be accepted.
The fee based registration schemes guarantee that
your website will be accepted and regularly indexed,
usually once every 24hrs.
The choice is yours.
How do I update my Website?
There are three options available to you.
The first is to let us maintain your Website. We
will update the content at a much lower rate than we
charge for new Websites.
The second option would be to let someone else
update it for you, although we would obviously prefer
it if you stayed with us.
Lastly, if you have some knowledge of HTML you
could update the Website yourself.
How long will it
take?
The key issues here are how many pages your Website
will have, what format you provide the content in and
the amount of design work involved.
For example, if you want a Website of 10 pages and
provide all of the textural content in Word format,
the time taken to produce your Website will be
considerably less than if you wanted 10 pages but sent
us handwritten content to input ourselves.
An approximate time would be 3-4 weeks, with one of
those weeks being dedicated to producing the design
and the remainder to adding the content.
Who owns the copyright?
Even this question is not as clear cut as it should
be.
We are the copyright holders for all original
design, graphics and source code.
You obviously have the copyright on the content you
supplied us with.
The Website will almost certainly include common
code which will be on many Websites, e.g. rollover
buttons.
