The basis on which we charge

Site design and authoring

Some web site designers will quote you a set rate for a site based on a template, which might be restricted to, for instance, three pages with no more than one graphic per page.  We do not quote on this basis, because we think that your web site should be unique and designed specifically for you, and in consultation with you, rather than based on a standard template.  Some sites take more work than others, and are charged for accordingly.  After an initial discussion with you, we will provide you with a quote for your site, based on how many hours' work we estimate it will take to produce it.

You can rest assured, however, that our charges are surprisingly reasonable, because we prefer to work with small businesses rather than with huge organisations with huge budgets.   Our estimates tend to be within a range of £250 (for a simple site, perhaps for a local charity) to £1000+ (for a larger and more complex commercial site).  This does not mean, however, that we will not take on contracts outside this range - and we always make a discount for charities.

Site Maintenance

We can offer you an annual maintenance agreement, where in return for an annual fee you will be entitled to an agreed number of hours’ work per year to keep the site up to date.  You can use these hours, for example, to publicise time-limited special offers, or to update a regularly-changing menu - or just to make corrections to the information on the site as it becomes out of date.  The use that you can make of it is limited only by your imagination!  The number of hours’ work contracted for, and therefore the annual charge, are completely negotiable.
