Where to begin?
You may have decided that you need a website but you’re not sure what type of website you need. One of the best ways to formulate your thoughts is to have a search around on the internet to find sites that you feel might be of interest to you. We have numerous sites that we have built, a few of which we have listed below. Once you have done some research you will have a better understanding of how you want your website to look. Typically, for an initial design you would need perhaps 5-6 pages covering; Home, About Me, Services, Prices and Contact details.
Website name
One of the first things to decide is the name that you want for your website, which is known as the Domain Name System (DNS). This would generally be your business name or your own name, eg; mybusiness.co.uk
We will then check the availability of the DNS and if available purchase it on your behalf.
Branding
You need to think about your branding. At the bare minimum you would need your own logo and a colour scheme (normally 2-3 colours in your palette is sufficient). We tend to use the following;
or there are many designers who can do this for you.
Images
High resolution images are required for a website to stand out and maintain interest. The images and colour palette are 2 of the key essentials for a beautiful website.
The image sizes should be;
- Full-width Background Images: 1920 x 1080 pixels.
- Hero Images: 1600 x 900 pixels.
- Content Images: 1200 x 800 pixels.
- Thumbnails: 150 x 150 pixels.
- Icons and Small Graphics: 50 x 50 pixels to 100 x 100 pixels.
It is worth buying these from providers such as;
However, if you would prefer to use free images which are not quite as good then visit;
Content
You would provide the content which is basically describing your services, information about you, contact details etc, which we would then add to the website. This is an iterative process and you would have full control of the content that you wanted to be included.
Go Live
Once we have built the website, and completed various infrastructure tasks such as optimizing your website ranking, security, etc; then you would want to advertise it via social media of whatever manner you choose.
What does it cost?
We will discuss your requirements and set up your website and run it for a monthly charge of £20 which includes updates to the website each month. The cost includes the purchase and annual renewal of your domain name.
