| The
Internet Challenge
Do you have a business, church, organisation, interest
group, charity, entrepreneurial flare or simply something
important to say?
Do you have a website to get your message out there
yet? If not why not? How are you going to reach the
internet generation?
If you do have a website, is it maintained with relevant
information that is useful to internal, external, potential
customers, users, stakeholders or other interested parties?
Do you have an attractive dynamic site, ready for future
web technology developments? Or is it a static out-of-date
lump that no one ever revisits, finds interesting or
useful and would cost a small fortune to have revised?
State of the art websites
Current trends are to have a “blog” site
which can be customised to look very creative and totally
professional. Even if you don’t want to “blog”
regularly you can have an atractive site with all the
same benefits, features and easy to update regularly
with all your latest news and information.
Site templates and software set-up are now very user-friendly
so that someone with average PC skills could edit or
update them.
Own your own website content
Do you “own” your content and all the effort
you put into creating it? There are many “free
blog” sites and the software is also “free”
but they are never really your own. It is possible your
blog may be wiped out and your account cancelled at
the whim of the “free” provider. That is
no idle threat. Blogs I have read recently have experienced
this in the past. They were removed as the content didn’t
suit the provider. These sites were about internet marketing
so they weren’t anything too terrible. Most people
on blogs have got something to sell or promote. Just
look at most twitter tweets. If a provider decides they
don’t like you for whatever reason and they delete
your account you would have no recourse. All the content
and hard work put into creating it could be lost. In
that context there is really no such thing as “free”.
Blogging or social networking providers often want to
own your site, content and all your data. Read the small
print.
Having your own unique domain name and hosting is not
expensive weighed against the value and benefits to
owning the site yourself. You have ownership. You have
control.
Web Hosting
We provide hosting that includes a free domain, "one
touch" installation of WordPress "Open Source"
blog software. a massive database of beautifully designed
free templates to choose from with everything you need
and more, all from only £80pa.
Design and Maintenance
If you wish we can design, build and work with you
to maintain a site. This is quoted on individual requirements
and depends on how much of the site content is provided
by the customer and how much we need to modify, create
or develop your ideas.
Cost
A small site with 4-6 pages prices would cost around
£100-£250 and a moderate sized site around
£250-500 (plus the hosting).
If you do all the work yourself the annual cost is
simply the hosting fee. You need a hosting package that
includes MySQL databases. If we provide ongoing support
and maintenance there would be an annual charge subject
to the level of involvement.
