Custom Site Development
Whilst the Standard web site design packages are great value for money, they may not be quite what you had in mind.
Every business is different with different needs and requirements. The four standard packages we offer were designed with new businesses in mind, created to help take away some of the hassle for those that need a straight forward web site. We also use them to show you the type of web site you can get for your money.
Perhaps you already have a domain name set up and a hosting package. We can provide you with pricing for the design of your site or maybe you have a lot of information to present and are worried the cost for lots of extra pages will be prohibitive. We can work out a cost effective price so you get a website that is more content rich and will be beneficial to your needs.
- There are a wide variety of special "add-ons" available, for example:
- Animated Technical Diagrams
- Interactive Panoramic Photos
- Automatic Slide Show
- Flash Animation including 3d logos
- Easily updateable news section
- Multi Media Video Clips and Sound
- Even the Latest News Headlines
If you already have a web site and want a Flash intro animation, an animated 3D logo, or similar to add in, we can provide this at a very reasonable price.
We can provide any of the above add ons at a reasonable rate. Please contact us for price.
E Commerce
There are a wide range of solutions for ecommerce. If you wish to sell your products online then we can provide this option within your website. Depending on the type and range of products, intended customers, your current payment methods etc, we can provide you with the right solution for your business at the right price.
Website Makeover/ Revamp
You may already have a web site but does any of the following statements apply?
- My website looks dated
- My website looks "amateurish" and puts off potential customers
- People find it difficult to navigate my site
- My site is difficult to find using the major search engines
- My web site is not getting the traffic I expected
- I want a fresh new image for my company with a new website to match
- My website content is out of date but I don't know how to change it
- I need to add more information to my site but the original website design company will charge me a lot of money to do so.
- I want to add a shopping facility to my site
- I need a cheaper web site hosting solution
We can provide you with a cost effective solution to make your company look professional and ensure you are getting the most out of your website.
Your corporate image and website are your shop window to the world and usually the first point of contact between you and any potential customers. A badly designed web site will certainly not do you any favours. We can ensure through the extensive knowledge of our Graphic Designers that your image will be professional, eyecatching and memorable. We also will make your site easily navigated and strive to include the right information to hold your visitors attention. Generally, if visitors cannot find the information they want easily they'll go elsewhere.
Don’t get left behind. Ensure your website is up to date, looks good, is informative, easily navigated and is attracting not only plenty of visitors but more importantly, the RIGHT visitors. Call us today to see how we can help YOU.
Web Site Design Process
If you are not sure how to go ahead with ordering a website, we can give you an idea of our process.
1. RESEARCH & PREPARE PROJECT ANALYSIS
Discuss by email, telephone or personal meeting your requirements and discuss in detail what you wish to achieve through your website. Agree price and timescale for development.
2. CONFIRMATION
If you are happy to go ahead with the development of your site, at this stage you give us your consent to begin development of your site and pay a deposit.

If required, at this stage we register your domain name and set up your web hosting. We can set up many domain names as required eg. www.yourname.com. www.yourname.co.uk etc.
4. EMAIL ADDRESSES
If applicable, your new email addresses and settings will be forwarded to you. If requested/required an initial holding page will also be put in place stating on your webpage “This site is currently under construction”
5. REVIEW OF CONTENT
Once we receive your web site content, we will review and may at this stage contact you again with any queries or suggestions.
6. INITIAL DESIGN CREATED
Based on your content and any design brief & details provided we will develop the look, layout and structure for the site. We will provide you with a mock up image of your site at this stage.
6. DESIGN APPROVED

Work will start on putting together your web site, enhancing the photos and laying out the content provided as per design.
8. WEB SITE CHECKED
On completion, the site is uploaded to a test server. You will have access to this to look through your site. Please check through to make sure you are happy. If any amendments are required i.e. photos swapped round, wording amended, any errors corrected; these will be promptly done.
9. WEB SITE GOES LIVE
Once you're happy with the site then a final invoice will be sent. After payment has been received your site will "go live" and be available on the appropriate domain name(s) for the world to see. Your site will also be registered on the popular search engines.
10. ADMINISTERING YOUR SITE
If you have chosen unmanaged hosting details of your web site details will be forwarded so you can administer your site, email addresses, auto forwarders/ responders etc. If you have opted for managed hosting then contact us if you need new email addresses set up, auto forwarders/ responders created, web pages amended, etc.
Below, we have listed a number of frequently asked questions. If however, your question does not appear in this list, please CONTACT US with your enquiry. Simply Click on a question to show the answer.
Packages Terminology
What do we mean by UK Domain Name Regstration & Hosting?
The domain name of your choice is registered to you. Domains include .com .info .co.uk .org.uk .me.uk .ltd.uk .plc.uk.
What does One Years Web Hosting Mean?
You receive reliable web space hosted on multi-million pound servers located in a dedicated high security facility managed by the NRG Hosting Division.
Names: You choose whichever name(s) you would like i.e. info@mycompany.co.uk Settings: We will set up your initial email accounts and provide you with the settings for your current email program.
Secure Storage: A POP3 mail box stores emails on the web securely until you are ready to read them. You then collect and send emails securely via your email program (i.e. Outlook Express/ Microsoft Outlook). Email forwarders: Forward any email sent to one of your POP3 email accounts to your existing email address for example (one forwarder per account)
Email auto-responders: This allows you to have a pre-configured email message that is sent automatically from one of your POP3 accounts when an email is received (one auto-responder per account).
WebMail: View, send and receive email from your web browser - or anyone's web browser - anywhere in the world! If you need email on the move and require a 'hotmail' type email interface then this is perfect for you!
Optimisation: Your site will be coded and written with search engines in mind (enhanced optimisation available as an additional extra for customers wanting high search engine ranking).
Submission: Your completed web site is submitted to the following search engines for inclusion in their listings
• Google / Yahoo Webmatches / AOL
• Overture / MSN / Hotbot
• Lycos / All the Web
This covers around 98% of all search engines as a lot of the smaller search engines source their results from the larger ones.
What do we mean by Photo Enhancement?
Your photos need to look their best to show off your products/services to their full. We enhance any photos provided as necessary to ensure this, such as sharpening, correcting brightness, exposure & colour balance. We can also remove unwanted objects from the background etc. Should your photos need a lot of enhancing and manipulation then our full photo restoration and photo enhancing services are available for an additional cost.
Other Questions
It depends on your business but it certainly will not do your business any harm. Our Starter Package is only £175 and the benefits are more than worth it. Having a professional web site and professional email address will make your business look much more professional at a very low cost. More and more people are using the internet to do background research on a product or company before they make a purchase. A web site gives you a 24/7 global presence, a showroom for your business which is always available.
How do we go about getting a website?
This is absolutely no problem. We can have your site up and running in a very short time taking care of everything for you. Please read through our WEB DESIGN PROCESS PAGE to find out more details of how we go about setting up your website.
Do you design websites for business and personal use?
We can design websites for Business or Personal Use. If you wish to have a website designed for personal use, eg. your hobby, weddings, special events etc, we are only too happy to help.
What if I need a website and email address quickly but I have no content ready for my website?
You may be having literature designed for your business or running advertisements etc. and need a web and email address quickly. We can have web and email addresses up and running for you in a matter of minutes. If it is going to take time to have your content ready for the design of your website, we can prepare a holding page for you which will inform your web visitors that the site is currently under construction until the website design process is complete.
How long does it take to have my website up and running?
It depends really on the design of your site, for example the number of pages, the detail included, the Special Add Ons etc. We would like to say we would have a Starter Site available in 1 week, a Basic Site in 2 weeks etc as an approximate guide. These guides can change according to our current work schedules at that particular time. When we prepare your PROJECT ANALYSIS, we can give you a timescale at that particular time.
How much will my website cost?
We have Set Prices for our four packages. (For further details please refer to our WEB SITE PACKAGES PAGE). For Custom Sites, we will be able to quote you a price after our Project Analysis but we can assure you we will offer you the cheapest prices available.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payments by Cheque, Bank Draft, Cash, Credit or Debit Card or through Paypal. We also accept Bank Transfers using BACS. We can provide details on request.
How much content should I have on one page?
We would recommend keeping the pages simpler. No-one enjoys reading reams of information. (Usually this leads to the reader becoming bored and leaving your site). We would recommend keeping your pages at a size which will be contained within the size of a screen with little or no scrolling.
What if I haven't got any photos?
If you are nearby, we can arrange to visit and take photos ourselves, however if you are further afield we can recommend and/or set up a photographer to visit your premises and photograph your products. Sometimes you can use your own digital photos if they are taken at a high resolution using a good quality digital camera.
Can I upgrade my site at any time?
Yes, this is very common. Initially, you may wish to start off with a smaller site and build it up over a period of time. We take this into consideration when designing smaller sites designing them in a way that they can easily be extended. We can add in more pages, information, flash or any of the other add ons etc as you require. Whilst you enjoy your business growth, we want to be there helping you.
This is absolutely no problem. When we perform our Project analysis, we will price accordingly. It is generally easier for us though if we are designing your site to ensure you get the RIGHT hosting package most suitable for your website as well as greater scope for ensuring you get the right Search Engine Optimisation
