Think of it as an online business card. We would strongly recommend you also include a way for your customers know they may be interested in your goods or services - eg an email form or 'contact us' button. (nb - this is not an expensive facility)

What we are charging you for:

• buying a domain name (ie website address)
• designing and building the page (inc scanning pictures / logos etc.)
• hosting the website (basically keeping the storage space for it)
• setting up and hosting the email service.

Cost: from £250

If you have more to tell - goods & sevices to sell and give details and prices for. Breaking the information up onto different pages is often the most effective and uncluttered way to show people what you do.

What we are charging you for:

• as above but with more design/build time.

Cost: This is obviously different from case to case, but we offer a basic package here for a 6 page or less site (max 600 words, 10 images per page)
from £500

This basically means you get to show your wares and sell them - right there on the site. This can take a fair bit of setting up because things have to be legal and secure (not difficult) and you have to have control on stock of items etc.

What we are charging you for:

• as with the above sites, but plus the setting up of secure payment area and of sale items database. This also usually includes additional work/time etc for the item images.

Cost: Will vary depending on the size of catalogue of items for sale, etc. Start from basic e-commerce site for up to 10 items to buy/pay for. From £1000

This is the kind of site we pull out all the creative stops for - it might include music streaming or downloads, video content, slide shows, with innovative Web 2.0 features and clever but clear design. We can suggest and produce an integrated overall multimedia stragtegy covering your website, plus facebook/twitter/smartphone/blog interaction.

What we are charging you for:

• Blue sky. Ideas, technical and creative ideas to suit your project. That on top of the usual build time involved, etc. There is usually also a need for a higher hosting tariff if streaming or video or music playback are required.

Cost: OK - this one starts with a blank page, lots of creativity and imagination. There is a fair amount of time involved in conceptualising to fit your brief. So its really only sensible to talk about cost once we have an idea of what’s involved. Everything will be agreed before any work is done that needs paying for. From £3000
