Additional Pages - Our set price options can offer the best value for your website, however it is sometimes necessary to add extra pages to enhance your site, the simplest and most affordable way to do this is to purchase additional pages for your site. At the time of your initial enquiry we will be able to recommend the price package that suits you best and advise if additional pages are recommended. Additional pages can also be added after your site is completed, if you find you would like to display further information.
Charges - In our determination to offer our clients the best value for money we offer very competitive price options, however the low prices do not mean that the overall design and construction of your site is compromised in any way whatsoever. We always aim to provide a superb service to all our clients. Our prices start at low affordable prices to suit any budget!
Clip art Graphics - Some personal websites may be of a more light hearted theme, not requiring special design features, but instead lending themselves more suitable towards casual images, which can be achieved using clip art images.

Unlike a lot of other web design services, we do not use set templates, and prefer to give our clients exclusive websites! The results are always great looking sites that contain all of the essential elements and are easy to navigate and user friendly. Our sites are built and designed to appeal! We use search engine optimization techniques, including meta tags, to ensure that our sites are listed on top search engines and are easily found.
Directories - In our Silver and Gold options we list your finished website on Local and National online directories according to your wishes. This is particularly useful if you are running a commercial business and want to be found by customers and clients.

Links to other Sites - Many sites offer to exchange links with other similar sites, this is called reciprocal linking. This involves building a separate page to display links to other sites.

Most sites only need occasional updates, maybe to make a change in text details or images, however, there are other sites which may require more regular updates, daily, weekly or monthly changes and amendments. Either way we are able to implement any changes and updates required and our prices for this service start at just £10. For any site maintenance, please Email us with your enquiry.

Moving Graphics - These are images, either pictures or words that move on the screen whilst the page is being viewed. They can range from quite simple but effective images to the more complex and intricate. Images can be made to move slowly or quickly depending on the effect you would like to achieve. Generally we try to avoid placing moving graphic on to sites, as we feel they can be distracting and sometimes annoying to Internet users, however, if you have an idea about a moving graphic that you would like to have displayed on your website please contact us via our Email, we will let you know whether or not we can create the moving graphic and how much the charge would be.

Search Engines - Websites are found in different ways. If someone has access to the correct address (domain name) of a site, then they can go straight to that site and navigate all of the available pages. However, on a lot of occasions, users of the internet search for sites by using 'search engines'. There are many, but we aim to include your website on the most popular, including GOOGLE, YAHOO, MSN, to name but a few. When constructing your site we add 'meta tags', and key words, which help the technology used by such search engines to find your site.
Site ranking - On most search engines websites are ranked, showing their popularity. This is influenced by links to and from your site, together with site accessibility and content, but there is also a random selection process made by the search engine technology. We always try to build websites in such a way that they can achieve a good site ranking, however, we can make no guarantees as to how well your site will be ranked.
Video - We are able to add video files to your site in order to enhance your service displays if necessary, please contact us for details of charges.
