Prices
Our prices start at just £300 for a basic website! You get:
- A custom design for your site
- 5 pages of content (we also give you a terms and conditions and a privacy page for free!)
- 1 navigation bar, placed where you wish, with unlimited headings and subheadings. (A navigation bar is like the one at the top of this page, that usuallys says "Home", "Guide", "Contact" and so on.)
- Every image optimised (so as to make the page load faster)
- Important text placed in headers (so the search engine will know what’s important)
- Accurate and full meta tags on each page, if you give us the text (this is important for search engine optimisation)
- A host and a domain name found and explained for you.
- Your website transferred to the internet
- Google analytics and/or Google webmaster tools set up - these are tools that allow you to view information about your users
- A free USB drive at the end containing all your passwords and information, which we then delete from our computer, giving you total control
- NO monthly, weekly or yearly fees, ever!
NB: As explained in the hosting and domain name section of the guide, you may have to pay the web host and domain name companies regularly, but we charge you one fee only.
Please note that we require a 20% deposit before beginning work on your website, and that the final 80% is payable within 7 working days of the website going live.
But you can also add to the basic package! You can pay extra for the following features:
- A fully optimised gallery (price will depend on the design and number of images)
- More pages - £15 for every extra page
- Javascript features – where the user interacts with the page, such as the click of a button producing some text. (Price will depend on the complexity of the feature.)
- Further navigation features (Price depends on complexity).
- Slideshow/animation. (Price depends on number and size of images).
We are usually flexible and reasonable with our charges, so do contact us to see what the extra fees might be for your particular feature. Also, if there is another feature that you’re interested in having on your website that you don’t see here, contact us, and we’ll see if we can come to an arrangement. However, there are some services we are sadly unable to offer:
- Any kind of Web 2.0-type interaction, such as user commenting or forums. This is because they require maintenance, which would require constant monitoring of your website.
- A comprehensive web shop. We can put in place a very simple paypal payment service if you wish, but cannot offer a large shopping service. Again, this is because this requires maintenance, and would require us to constantly monitor your website.
- Any guarantee on search engine optimisation (if you’re not sure what this is, see here). We can try and promote keywords in the design of the website and can include meta tags if you write them; we will also submit your website to Google, Yahoo and Bing to include in their index. Unfortunately however, we cannot make any guarantees about how fast search engines will find your site, and we won’t spend time building links to your website (though you are of course welcome to do so).
- Writing text or taking pictures. This is up to you, as you know best about your own website. Some guidance can be found in our guide here, but unfortunately the amount of research and effort involved in writing text for an area we do not specialise in would cost us a lot of time.
