Q: I need a website? What can you do for me?
Ans: Building
a website involves 4 simple steps:
- Domain Name Registration: A Domain Name, apart from being your Internet address, is your own unique identity on the web. It puts you / your-business online, to millions of people worldwide.
- Website Design: We specialize in custom website design i.e sites that are tailored to meet an organization's unique business needs.
- Hosting: By creating a website and putting it on a server connected to the rest of the net, anyone in the world who is also connected to the net can see your site.
- Search Engine Optimisation and Promotion : We carry out basic optimisation on your site for your relevant keywords and submit your website to Google and other popular search engines as part of our design process.
Q: How long does it take for a custom designed website to be completed?
Ans: The timescale of a project is generally dictated by the client. We can complete a simple website within 3 weeks if the client provides us with content (text/images) and sends quick feedback/changes/approvals for our designs. If you have a deadline in mind we will work hard to meet it for you.
FACT: The most common delay in the creation of a site is waiting for content (text/images) to be sent to us by the client.
Q: I would like you to design my site, what do I need to do now/what is the process?
Ans: If you would like to use our website design services,
- Send us a brief idea of your requirements. Let us know
your purpose (goal) for developing/redesigning
your website.
- Send us links of similar/competitor's sites to gain a better understanding of your business (needs).
- Send
us the content in a text format: (see an example of content structure)
- We will design a couple of home-page and inner-page layouts for your approval and suggest a navigation structure for you (home | about us | services | products | etc...) as per the content.
- Based
on your guidance we will then insert content (text/images)
and HTMLise the design. At every stage you will
be kept informed about the website design process.
You can also check the progress of your site on
our test servers.
If
you do-not have a domain, we will check its availability
and then purchase the domain in your name. We
will also suggest the right hosting package for
your project and then upload the completed website
on your servers.
Q: How much will it cost?
Ans: The cost of a website varies, depending upon the type of site you require. Each site is treated on its individual requirements.
