Web Development Services

The timeline for website development varies based on complexity and scope. Typically:

• Basic informational websites (5-7 pages): 2-3 weeks from concept to launch
• Business websites with custom functionality: 4-6 weeks
• E-commerce websites: 6-8 weeks
• Complex web applications: 8+ weeks

I'll provide a detailed timeline during our initial consultation based on your specific requirements. My focus is always on quality rather than rushing to meet arbitrary deadlines.

While I don't directly provide hosting services, I work closely with several reliable hosting providers that offer excellent performance, security, and value for money. Based on your website's specific needs, I can:

• Recommend the best hosting solution for your particular website
• Handle the technical setup of your hosting environment
• Configure domains, SSL certificates, and email services
• Manage the ongoing relationship with the hosting provider on your behalf (if desired)

This approach allows me to select the optimal hosting solution for each client rather than forcing everyone into a one-size-fits-all hosting package.

Content management capabilities are available as an optional service. While not every website includes a CMS by default, I offer various content management solutions that can be added to your website for an additional fee. These systems allow you to:

• Add, edit and delete pages
• Update text content and replace images
• Manage blog posts and news articles
• Upload documents and media files
• Update product information (for e-commerce sites)

The cost of adding a CMS depends on the complexity of your website and the level of control you need. During our consultation, we can discuss whether a content management system would benefit your specific situation and which option would be most suitable for your needs and budget.

If you choose to include a CMS, I provide comprehensive training sessions to ensure you're comfortable using the system, along with detailed documentation for future reference.

Yes, I understand that website development is a significant investment for small businesses. My standard payment structure is:

• 25% deposit to secure your project in my schedule and begin work
• 25% milestone payment upon design approval, before development begins
• 50% final payment before the website goes live

For larger projects (over £2,000), I'm happy to discuss more flexible payment arrangements with additional milestones. I also offer a 10% discount for full payment upfront.

I accept bank transfers, major credit cards, and in some cases, can arrange monthly payment options for ongoing development and maintenance services.

Yes, I provide comprehensive domain name services including:

• Guidance on choosing the best domain name for your business
• Checking domain availability and suggesting alternatives
• Handling the registration process
• Setting up proper DNS configurations
• Configuring email services with your domain
• Managing domain renewals (optional service)

If you already own a domain, I'll help transfer it or point it to your new website. I always ensure that domains are registered in YOUR name, not mine – your digital assets should remain under your control.

Every website I build incorporates SEO best practices as standard, including:

• Clean, semantic HTML structure
• Mobile-friendly responsive design
• Optimised page loading speeds
• Proper heading structure and content organisation
• SEO-friendly URL structures
• Image optimisation with proper alt tags
• XML sitemap and robots.txt configuration
• Google Analytics and Search Console setup

For more comprehensive SEO services such as keyword research, competitor analysis, content strategy, and ongoing optimisation, I offer additional SEO packages that can be tailored to your specific goals and budget. These services can be added to your web development project or purchased separately.

The launch of your website is just the beginning of our relationship. After your site goes live:

• I provide 30 days of complimentary support to address any issues or make minor adjustments
• We'll have a handover session where I'll train you on managing your website
• You'll receive comprehensive documentation on your website's features
• I offer ongoing maintenance packages to keep your site secure, updated and performing well

I recommend considering a maintenance package which includes regular updates, security monitoring, performance optimisation, and content updates. This allows you to focus on running your business while ensuring your website remains a valuable, well-maintained asset.
