Web Design,
Development and Hosting Services
So you want to have your
own web site. Lets assume you have a small business or enterprise and you want an
affordable presence on the Internet so that you can publicize your web address on
your stationery and in any advertising you may do.
First you need a DOMAIN
NAME, for example www.yourname.co.uk or www.yourbusiness.com and
an email address based on your own website address, which inspires rather more
respect than a hotmail, yahoo or btinternet one. Domain Names come with various
extensions. Besides .co.uk and .com, you can have .biz, .org, .net, .name, .me.uk,
.info, .ws, among others. Your own domain name has to be unique together with your
chosen extension. It must be available, ie., not already reserved or in use by
somebody else, and you have to register it. This can cost from as little as about £5
for two years (renewable) upwards. Don't worry, I can handle this for you.
Then you need WEB SITE
HOSTING. This can cost from just a couple of pounds a month upwards depending on the size
and complexity of your web site, and the traffic you might expect in terms of daily
visitors. This again is something I can arrange for you.
Then there is the WEB
SITE DESIGN itself. As a guide price only, the simplest web pages cost from
about £25 each. Presumably you have some idea of the general presentation, logo,
colour scheme, layout and text. All you need to do is send me a rough layout such as
the one shown below and an outline of the text. I will take care of spelling,
punctuation, etc.

I will give you a quotation based
on your instructions and investigate the availability of your preferred domain
name and the cost of registration and hosting.
If the exact name you want is
already taken, I will suggest a number of close alternatives with the relevant
cost.
Once we agree to proceed I will
ask you for a part payment on account and begin to build a prototype page for
your approval.
|
As the development
proceeds you will have opportunities to review progress, proof-read copy, and make
amendments. And I will suggest elements to build into the web design to improve your chances of getting the highest
possible placement on search engines and online directories.
