Web Design Services...
 

We have been designing web sites for clients for many years.  Our approach is simple - we design simple, fast downloading sites that avoid gimmickry and flashy graphics.   We concentrate on getting the visitor to the information they need quickly and easily. 

Our list of clients is always growing so please contact us for an up to date list....

We offer a complete service:-

• Registering the Domain Name

• Designing the Site

• Hosting the Site

Prices depend on the complexity of the site, ranging from a couple of hundred pounds for a fairly simple site with a couple of pages to several thousand.  We can also quote a fixed price for producing a 'one-off' design or an annual design and update service.

The Search Engines.....

Getting good Search Engine placement is a bit of a 'Dark Art' and, therefore, we never make exaggerated claims about what we can achieve.  Frankly, the only sure way to get good placement is to pay the Search Engines to advertise! 

One customer asked us to design the site so that it would come up in the top ten if anyone typed in the word 'France'.  Unfortunately, Google returns 2,450,000,000 links for the word 'France' - getting to the top ten for a small website is, therefore, almost impossible without paying Google significant fees.

However, good design, a well thought through structure, sensible use of Keywords and well placed descriptive text all contribute to good placement.  We, therefore, design the site around the needs of the Search Engines.  Many of our sites do well in their sector.

If good design doesn't get good placement then we recommend using Google's AdWords advertising system.  It is cost effective as you only pay when someone visits your site.  Most other search engines offer similar schemes.

Finally, don't forget the traditional forms of word of mouth, advertising, magazines, newspapers, TV and Radio advertising, leaflets etc.  For many customers they are more successful than the search engines at driving visitors to the web site.  Never lose the opportunity of advertising your URL, for example put it on your letterhead, cars/vans, newspaper adverts and leaflets.
