Quick Overview - Your website process explained.
Domain Name
Your domain name can be just about anything you want, as long as it
is not already registered. Most people choose a name which is
closest to their business name, like for instance the
Argyll Coast website where
www.argyllcoast.co.uk was chosen. The ending of
.co.uk signifies that the business is in the UK. We could have
chosen .com or a host of other endings. For businesses who trade
only in the UK we recommend .co.uk and/or .com. We can help you
choose the right name for your business and register it for you. The
cost of registration for you is £9.95 for .co.uk addresses.
Hosting
Now that you own you web name you will need a place for it to live
if you want to have a presence on the internet. The cost of hosting
varies depending on what you choose to have. Argyll Technologies
small business hosting packages start from £19.95 per annum. This
package provides you with an
upload address, up to 10 email addresses, technical support, band width
(space), and a guarantee of at least 99.9% up time i.e. your host
server will not have problems.
Design
You now need the content for your website. A quick look around
various sites will confirm that there are many different ways of
approaching this for a website designer. We believe that sharp, easy to navigate sites are
the best for most types of businesses. We will closely consult with
you to get a site in the shape that you would like. However as a
guide we have a standard small business web site design package from £195 and upwards depending upon content and
size, see the link to design above.
Publication
Your site needs to be uploaded to your hosts server, and from time to
time you will probably want to make changes. Any site we design we
publish free.
Presence (search engine optimisation)
There is absolutely no point having a website that cannot be found
by your potential customers. Presence is therefore the process of getting your business
website into the rankings of the search engines. This is a
complicated process as the search engines (such as Google) use
complicated algorithms to work out your search position for any
group of search words (key words) that a user might input into their
search engines. We are specialists in this field. The cost of
managing presence starts from £48.50 per annum for smaller sites.
Management
For most sites there is a need to manage the details, add some text
or change some as the year progresses, this may just be a simple
change to your product or service prices to an event that you want
on the site. Simple changes are free. However if you are adding
pages we will agree a price with you. The general management of the
site and its presence are also free in the first year with the
previous "presence" package.
