DOMAIN
NAME & HOSTING: You will need a domain name for your
website. It will also need to be Hosted somewhere. Click
HERE for details.
HIT
COUNTER: You will want to know how many people are visiting
your website, as well as what words they are searching on and
which search engines they are using. We provide free
information which you can access directly at any time, so that
you can check how successful your website is. Click HERE
for an explanation of the data that will be available.
E-COMMERCE:
For an additional cost we can make the website into an e-commerce
site, where people can buy online. This can be done at one of
two levels.
1) The most economical option is using PayPal or Worldpay, where
"Buy Now" or "Add to Basket" buttons can
be incorporated, with a Checkout so that purchases can be made
online with credit or debit cards. Additions to stock will be
made by the website designer. Apart from the cost of the website
there will be a charge for each payment button included on the
site. Please ask us for more details.
2) If you have more than, say, 100 different stock items, then
the other option is to go for a full-blown database driven website
with credit card handling etc. and the ability to upload stock
descriptions, prices and images yourself. Prices for websites
of this type start at around £2,500.
COLOURS:
This resource shows a variety of colours that you may want to
consider for the text, background, borders, highlighted areas
etc. of your website. It will enable you to inform us easily
of the colours that you favour. Click HERE.
SPECIAL
FEATURES: There are, of course, special features that can
be built into your website. Background music or sound effects,
clickable sound clips or movies, downloadable documents, payment
buttons - even an on-line weather station! Click HERE
to see some examples.
SEARCH
ENGINE LISTING: When your website is ccomplete, we will
register it with the major free search engines (including Google,
Mirago, MSN, ODP and Yahoo). Your position in their listings
will depend on the amount of competition in your sector, as
well as on the actual search words used.
FOOTNOTES:
We are often asked to take over existing websites because they
are unsatisfactory or not bringing in the business that they
should. A good knowledge of search engines, meta-tags, keywords
and web structure is necessary.
If you already have a disappointing web
site, we can check it and probably tell you why! We can then
tweak it so that it will be indexed by the major search engines
and should bring in more business for you.
NOSTALGIA:
I couldn't resist putting in pictures of the early computers
that I used. It was not until until around 1979 that home computers
became available. Click HERE
to see the machines that gave me so much joy.
