This is really for absolute newbies that have never had a website before. It's all the information you will need to make an intellegent judgement call on what's involved and on me of course and what I can do for you.

Domain Names

These are what your company website will be called, for example - www.SoSo.co.uk

Domain Names

You can buy these yourself or just let me do it as the price I give you will pretty much stay the same for ages. .com and .co.uk are pretty standard and cost around £8.99 and £14.99 respectively. You pay for one of these EVERY year.

Website Hosting

The people who sit with your website on their server and charge an anuual fee.

Website Hosting

If you don't have hosting you simply can't have a website. It's very affordable for what it is getting your company name out there to potentially thousands of people. There's no easy way around it, we all have to pay, even me.

Annual Payment

Every year a reminder is sent to you. Domain and Hosting is due to be paid.

Just Keep This In Mind

First of all don't worry there's two reminders BUT, If you forget to pay on the due date you could lose your domain name and it could cost you hundreds of pounds to get it back. Domain names get hoovered from people who 'forget' to renew. I've honestly seen it happen.


"Don't be affraid of white space, sometimes less is more as in music and indeed art too,  but definitely not culture, culture is much more exciting when it's colourful and brash"

I'm going to explain this as easily as I can and not bog you down with over selling stuff that you're probably not really interested in and will only cost you more money if you buy into it. I will give you the best plan for your business to get you moving forward. - Guaranteed!

Website Maintenance

SHOULD YOU NEED IT

    In a word no as it's not a necessity it's just another selling point. Saying things like 'oh we keep your site up to date with all the latest analytics'. When your site is going live everything gets run through google analytics by me. It's not a special magical thing. All part of the service (or the price if you prefer) and once it's done, just forget about it. One site I took over was paying a staggering $240 a month just to make simple changes through out the year.
    My sites function at 100% all of the time with no so maintenance required.

Website
Updating

SHOULD YOU NEED IT

    Updating is when you want to add or remove products, team members, sale items, new address info. Again this was all part of the $240 a month. For this work I charge by time only and it'll be done usually pretty quickly which works out incredibly cheaper as I am your very own 'on call specialist'. Now this could be minor or major alterations but it's always affordable and a much simpler way for you to see the advantage of not paying for a service you might need two, three or four times a year.

Website
Page Ranking

I'VE HEARD OF THIS

    Yeah nah, don't get caught up with this term as it's so outdated because of the amount of companies on the internet. If you go looking for a specialised item like 'Italian Red Leather Sofa' Would you believe that DFS and ScS come out a way down on the page ranking and those companies are huge. If you want to be at the top then you will have to pay thousands of pounds for that priveledge. You're never going to compete with Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk so for the time being just be happy where you are - as high as possible.


I've had the pleasure and pain of working for some pretty big shots in my time as you can see in this banner. Things are a lot easier with the internet - time wise at least. You're in very safe hands with me creating and designing things so relax, I know what I'm doing.

Commercial Design

Creating artwork for complete company needs. Anything from office stationery, brochures, cards etc, to vehicle wraps, indoor/outdoor advertising banners, stand alone flying banners and I've never lost out on a job because of price - I design it all.

Humble Beginnings

I started out in the printing trade moving on to repro and design working with many of the big advertising agencies in Glasgow and Edinburgh and even up in that London which inspired me to cut out a little piece of the pie for myself.

Website Building

Wether it's a multi page website for selling or advertising your products or a simple personal blog site to discuss dogs, cats, cakes or the problems of the world, they all start at the same place, with me so - call me!.

Go it alone they said

I ran my own thing for a few years which was exciting, scary and a bit exhausting. Then back to a regular pay cheque for a while before moving abroad. Doing small bits and pieces like mine with the internet bacame really easy and I have to say - Eu não estou arrependido.


You can ask me anything you like because there's no such thing as a stupid question.
