Questions and Answers.

Where are you based?

I am based in Rayleigh, Essex in the South East of England. Sites can be built quite easily without actually needing to meet face to face so I am able to offer website building to anyone in the UK.

How much will a website cost?

I don't have a fixed pricing structure. I prefer to generate a quotation depending on the amount of time I think will need to be taken to create a good site. Factors which influence this are: amount of scanning / photo editing required, number of pages etc. As a very broad guideline, I would say an average site would only cost around £250-300.

What sort of sites do you build?

I build simple to navigate sites mainly for small clubs and businesses. I do not use Flash or any other tools which can slow sites down and irritate users. My own site, TheEyeGuide.co.uk is a demonstration of one of the styles I use. Another example of a site I have created is EastonsCC.co.uk. Another of my sites is VetaEvents.co.uk. My full time work gets me involved in web design and build and it is only recently that I have started doing private work. A point to remember when you are thinking about a website is that the latest web technology is not necessarily the best ~ Think about the last time you visited a site and had no idea how to find what you were looking for.

How come you don't charge thousands of pounds to build a website?

Because it's not my 'proper' job. In fact it's more of a hobby. I enjoy doing it and therefore I don't mind giving up some of my spare time to it. I charge a price which I think small companies and clubs can afford - many people don't and this stops smaller organisations from having websites. For the same reason, I can't build a website for you in a week because I have other commitments, a company charging thousands of pounds probably could.

Can I take over the website once you have created it?

Yes, I can create the site and then once it is ready we can move it to where you can access it. You may need a bit of guidance on how to do this and how to update the site but I can help with that.

How long does it take to build a website?

This really depends on how much information you have to hand over immediately and what format it is in. It also depends on how big the site is going to be, if a large amount of scanning is involved and how busy I am! A broad estimate would be about 4-8 weeks. This could be improved on after discussion.

You haven't answered my question here, how can I find out what I need to know?
