We are always looking for new ways to offer outstanding value and packages that meet the needs of every type of business. The ability to continually focus on Customer Service has helped our business create many hundreds of websites over the years, and have hundreds of happy customers.

We were incorporated as a limited company in 2006 and have a wide variety of customers. From restaurants, plumbers and taxi companies to international freight forwarders, we always follow what our customers want and create websites that serve their businesses needs.

Research has shown that most potential customers will look at a website long before they even think about picking up the phone. A website is the most cost effective way to advertise your business services. We believe that websites should be to the point, easy to navigate, load quickly and look modern. All to often, competitors websites are unnecessarily complicated - and unnecessarily expensive.

Services:

All our websites are Leased. We differ from most other website companies by leasing your website to you. Indeed, the concept was requested by our customers. Rather than paying £700 plus for a website, we were asked if we could charge a lower yearly fee, but spread it over the years. This enables our customers to know their exact yearly website marketing budget. It also helps us because if we have a huge incentive to look after our customers! The price you pay covers everything you need to get the site up and running - this includes:

• Hosting: Hosting is a term that many people have heard of these days, but for those that haven't, it is the data centre where the website resides. 24 hours a day, a server is connected to the internet and when someone looks up your website it passes your information to their computer.

• Domain Registration: The deal includes domain registration. The domain is the name that you see on an advert and starts with www. we include a .co.uk or a .com domain within the deal.

• Photographic Service: We offer a free local photographic service to our customers. For example, we can visit your restaurant or garage and take all the images we need to create your site.

• Text Creation: Wherever possible we try and agree the text directly with our customers. However if our customers are too busy to compile the text, we can work at it for you and you can make any final changes.

• Email: You can either use your own existing email address within your website or we can arrange email forwarding for you. For example, the email address sales@yourcompany.co.uk can be redirected into your Hotmail account. We can also arrange for your computer to be configured for Outlook so you can send and receive email from an email address like - sales@yourcompany.co.uk A small charge may apply in this situation.

• SEO: Your website will be fully optimised for Google and other search engines. We have a Google Webmaster Account and all websites are listed with google.
