FAQs

I'm always happy to meet up with local clients to discuss a project in person, but I know this isn’t always possible. Especially if you’re based on the other side of the country – or the other side of the world!

I will need to discuss a few things before we start, but this can easily be done in a phone call or a Skype chat at a time that suits you.

This is the most popular question I'm asked. But there’s a problem when it comes to answering.

The truth is I don’t know how much your website will cost until I know what sort of website you need!

Each website and client is different, and my costs are based on your exact requirements. When I know what you need, I’ll provide a transparent, no-obligation quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for

As a rough idea our bespoke websites tend to start of around the £1,000 mark.

Another question I get asked a lot. Again, this varies depending on your exact requirements. Some projects can take a few months while others a few weeks.

Once I’ve discussed your project, I’ll give you an idea of just how long the project will take.

Web hosting is the service that keeps your website online, and it’s an important consideration for any successful online business.

It can be daunting to choose the right provider as there are just so many web hosting companies to pick from. Your website needs a reliable, affordable and dependable host – preferably one that regularly backs up your website and keeps your files safe and secure.

I can take away all your troubles of trying to find the right web hosting company as I use a trusted partner who ticks all the boxes. Contact me to see how I can help.

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. Done correctly SEO will help to ensure that your website is ranking as high as possible when people search on Google or another search engine. I can never guarantee the number one spot (and please be careful of anyone who does), but I guarantee your website will be set up to perform as well as possible before going live.

I offer a popular ongoing SEO service, which helps you to identify and target the right search terms (or keywords) and then improve your rankings. Some keywords are really competitive and can take time to get to a good ranking position. Others may only take a few weeks.
