What are monthly hosting costs for?
Web sites have to be installed on a computer with the
appropriate software in order to be accessible on the internet. If you
wish to source and manage your hosting yourself, thats OK, but we strongly
suggest that you use our hosting solutions. This means we have control
over the software that runs the website we have created for you, which
can avoid problems, and means if you have ANY problem with your site, we
stand over it. The service is totally managed by us for you. ![]()
What is a Content Management System (CMS)?
This is an easy to use word processor window which lets
you update your website yourself. It saves ongoing costs and it means your
website is much easier to keep up to date. There are different types. We
commonly use an OpenSource system called CMSMadeSimple. ![]()
What is Search Engine Optimisation?
This is the process of making your site more likely
to be found and ranked higher by search engines such as google. It is a
long term process, and the results depend on how competitive your market
is (how well optimised your competitors sites are), and how many people
are searching for your product
