Why
do You Need us? 
It is the ideal platform to maximise your impact.
It is essential that you consider your website as
part of your overall marketing, and bring it into

A lot of people think computers are hard to use.
For a lot of people, computers are hard to use.
A website is supposed to give you a return on your
investment through:
Direct Sales
Reducing overhead costs such as communications,
mailing, and customer service
Improving business efficiency
A working combination of all the above factors
hence, Keep your website address highly visible;
on your letter heads, business cards and in all
advertising and promotion. Educate staff to know
why the web site is there, and what it does for
the business. Verbally direct people to the site,
especially those looking for information. Mention
it in conversation, whether with customers, suppliers
or your peers.
If there are data intensive features on your site,
let the viewer choose to hear, see or experience
them.

Do we really
need a website?
It's a significant step for any business to create
or overhaul their website.
But just ask yourself whether you want to:
• Increase sales
• Reduce costs
• Improve customer service
We'd say the question is not whether to have a website,
but who should you employ to do it! .
What makes
you 'different' from the rest?
Quite a lot! We are fanatical about helping our
clients to succeed : we see our primary role as
your Internet business advisors, helping you to
define and achieve worthwhile objectives.
If you want a genuine, very knowledgeable and committed
partner, you won't find better!
Why do it
now?
The advantages of a good website are now obvious
to all. That isn't hype -- read what we say on this
website. If you put off making your decision, you
will lose competitive advantage to those who go
ahead -- and, we'd say, deservedly so.
Our company
has no expertise : how will it work?
You don't need any expertise, because we can run
your whole website activity if you wish, while providing
you with the information you need to retain control
and make informed decisions. Your website becomes
another productive tool in your armoury, while leaving
you free to run your business.
How much
will it cost?
We have a minimum project fee of $ 500, applicable
to some repairs and small upgrades. For full web
sites, the fee will depend on the amount of work
involved, so please contact us for more information.
When do I
pay?
For smaller assignments, you pay a deposit of 50%
of the total, and the balance on completion.
For projects costing $2000 or more, you can choose
stage payments.
How long
does it take to design a website?
Most projects are finished in 15 to 30 days. But
each website we design has a different time scale,
depending on the amount of work required and the
degree of client contact involved.
If you wish, we can set a deadline, which we will
guarantee, subject to receiving the necessary feedback
and content from you during the project.
Why not use
the people who designed our company brochure?
While we need to preserve your existing branding,
the Web is not print - everything changes.
The way that images are handled and the RGB, web-safe
colour palette, the different navigation, the technical
requirements for compatibility, download speed and
search engine recognition, the way it is promoted
... even the way that copy is written.
Our advice : don't even think about getting a specialist
graphic design company to create your website!
How will
people find out about our website?
There are many ways to promote your website. Please
read about our website promotion services for details
of what we can do for you.
Can I get
marketing advice with my website?
Absolutely. We take it as our responsibility --
our mission -- to give you the best service possible,
and our project specification can include definition
of brand, target customers and objectives.
I like a
website you have built for someone else, can I have
the same?
No. We custom design every site, and the copyright
ownership of these sites is handed over to the clients.
We also have a number of ongoing clients, where
we would not work for a competitor. However, see
the next question ...
I want someone
to copy a competitor's website. Can you do it?
We would never infringe anyone else's copyright,
but we would be happy to take out the best elements
from a site, add perhaps a few ideas of ours (and
yours) and produce a very much better article.
What support
do I get when the web site is designed and built?
Every website we build is guaranteed to work in
Internet Explorer version 4-on, and even in Netscape
version 4. Free of charge, we'll change your phone
number or address once a year, along with a reasonable
number of staff contact details. If we host your
site, you get full management of your web space
and (if required) domain name renewal and email
forwarding.
Can you manage
updates for me?
Absolutely. Please see our page on website anual
maintenance for more details.
