FAQ

1.What is Flash?

Flash in an animation and programming language that has redefined the way web sites are presented. FLASH can’t be beat for presentations, and even works well with databases and other web applications. FLASH is extremely fast loading when file sizes are the same…however FLASH development can be expensive…yet rewarding.

2.How do we choose pictures for our project?

You can select from our Photo Search in our Client Lounge, choose from any numerous online options with members of our staff, schedule a photo shoot or have illustrations drawn based on an agreed idea.

3.Do you provide Hosting?

Yes. Visit our Business service page for more information.

4.How much do professionally designed web sites cost?

Normally £500 to upwards of £5,000 for a well designed site with good copy and marketing direction.

There are lots of cheaper options for very small businesses; however, these options seldom increase sales or assist on streamlining businesses' processes. Ad agencies often charge 100k or more for rather simple sites, and many medium and large companies spend millions on their web presence each year.

SEO, marketing and e-commerce are usually factors that need to be considered as well.

5. How do we decide upon a home page theme or style?

First we research your provided information, look at your competitors and schedule a meeting/conference call. In this meeting or over the phone we discuss ideas to promote a graphic theme and a marketing direction.

Sometimes ideas are kicked back and forth through e-mail until we all decide on one that really excites us. In our next phase we develop a “comp” of this concept!

6.How often should my site be updated?

At least once a week. Google loves fresh information and more importantly so do your prospects. A web site is like bread…it can go stale after a while.

7. How much do I pay to get started?

20%, then 40% after you have approved the design and the remaining 40% at fulfillment.

8.How is web content best developed?

By providing us with a technical draft and summary for each appropriate category. We will then re-consider each category for maximum “browsability.” Assist with editing each section for marketing appeal, calls to actions, web optimization and sales procurement.

9. Do you optimize for search engines? Why is this important?

Yes we do! This is probably the most important advertising and marketing mechanism in the world right now. If your company can come up on the first 20 results for keywords that are being typed in daily, it will simply trump traditional advertising methods (And we do all types of advertising here!).

Over 70% of all consumers search the web for products and services. Even TV can’t touch this… even during the FA Cup Final.

10.Do you build ecommerce sites?

Yes! We use UNIX and Linux based e-commerce applications which save thousands of dollars in fees and are constantly improved via “open source.” These carts can be designed to look and interact in almost any fashion you desire!

11. What are web applications?

Here’s a link that explains web applications.

13. How can you make my new site different from everybody else’s?

Because we are better than everyone else! Most sites don’t even start on the correct premises, much less a decent concept.
