example

It may be possible to update your existing site (even if not designed by us) - please contact us for a free review and audit of your current website. (If your website is more than 2 years old, it probably does need updating).

We can also update and optimize sites for search engine submission, so that your website appears on the first page of the major search engines (such as Google, Alta Vista, Lycos, etc.)

PLEASE NOTE: Some shopping carts, download software, and secure online transaction providers' annual fees, commissions and set-up charges are extra.

If you are serious about trading (selling goods or services) through an online shop on your website, your business needs to have an Internet-type Merchant Credit Card Trading Account (obtainable from several UK banks, such as NatWest Streamline, Barclays Merchant Services, & RoyNet - Royal Bank of Scotland). You will also need a secure payment server facility such as provided by WorldPay, in order to take credit card payments online. An alternative is to use a service such as PayPal.

The following Additional Services are available:

1. Autoresponder - allows an email address to respond with a set message, for example when you are on holiday you can set this to say that you will reply as soon as possible and give some information about your products or services.

2. FormMail - eg. for Customer Enquiry Form; customers can respond to your site straight from a webpage, without needing to email you.

3. Mailing lists - Send one email to the mailing list address (eg. clients@yourdomain_name.com) and it will automatically send an email to everyone on your mailing list, without needing to use CC fields. Also allows automatic opting out of the mailing list by the client sending an 'unsubscribe' email.

To discuss one of the above services, please email us.

Advanced animations and special effects are also available, eg. utilising Macromedia Flash, and additional JavaScript and Java Applets, etc.

Professionally designed company logos, animated hyper-linked advertising banners, animated JavaScript button links (as on this site), .gif graphics, Java Applets, sound tracks (in the form of MIDI files), and many other additional features may be included in this package if required.

*Template sites are constructed using standard templates and allow only limited individual configuration and a limited number of designs.
