Web Design
What We Do
As web designers and web developers, it's our job to bring together your ideas and our knowledge of internet to create a website or web based program that is both usable and looks good.
We pride ourselves on creating outstanding usable websites. To achieve this we use the latest in web design software and coding practices. All the websites we create are W3C validated.
The process
- First Meeting - Unlike of web designers, we don't charge a first consultancy fee. We want to get to know why your have a website built and what it is going to be used for. We create a quote based around your budget not just give you a price out of the book
- Design - After the first meeting we will come up with a few designs and either meet up to go through them again or upload a test site for you to view. This will then give you the chance to see your design in flesh (so to speak). We can then change things and make alterations before the final upload.
- Development - Once the design of the website is decided we then move on to developing it. We start writing the scripts (if any) for the website and include any special features you need. At this stage we still invite your input into the site and if you’re still not sure of the website design we can modify it to what you want.
- Deployment - We're Ready!! at the this stage we go through everything you wanted on the site and confirm with you that you agree everything has been done to your liking. Then, if it hasn't been already, deploy your website to the internet.

Web Design FAQs
Q: How much does it cost to design a website ?
A: This the most common question for a good reason, every website is different and everyone has different requirments for their website. A good starting price is £99 for a one page website.
Q: How long does it take to design a website ?
A: On average a basic 3 page website shouldn't take any more than two-three hours to create. This is based on all the information including text and images are supplied. Other sites such as online shops and will take long depending on product information.
Q: What happens if i want to change something afterwards?
A: At the end of the contract we hand over control to you, you will have full access to your website and can make changes when ever you like. If you would like us to make the changes this is also possible.
Q: What is the difference between a Visit, View, and Hit?
A: Visit - Someone comes to your web site and looks around a bit. They may go to one page, or they may go to 100 pages, but their still only visiting once.
View - How many pages were seen by that visit
Hit - How many physical resources were requested from the server by that visit. Pages are made up of many items (images, text, etc). Each of those is a hit, while a view is the page itself
Think of it like a book store. A person goes into the store (visit) and picks up 5 books to buy (views). While he is holding the books, he flips through them and looks at a few pictures (hits). So he would have 1 visit to the store, 5 books handled during his visit (views), and maybe 30 pictures he looked at (hits).
