You need somewhere to keep your website and to provide your email services - that's called hosting. Standard hosting is just £75 per year, including two hours of maintenance, support and tweaks to your website. You can have any number of email addresses (up to 1000 MB space in total). You can read and reply to emails using our webmail service, or via Outlook or other program, or by your smartphone (iPhone, Blackberry, Android etc). This hosting is suitable for very small companies. For larger companies, we suggest the high quality hosting, at £150 per year. This provides more space for emails and your website, and handles more customers at once.

The design and creation of your website will take, for the simplest of websites, two hours. For more advanced websites, with more pages, and more impact in the design, expect it to take about five hours. If you have special ideas in mind, that's great, and we will let you know how many hours it will take. Website development hours are £20 each, so a very simple website will cost just £40 and a more typical website will cost £100. This is a one-off fee, but updates beyond the two hours maintenance are available at £20 per hour. Even the simplest of website, taking 2 hours, can include several pages:

• Welcome
• Services
• Contact Us (with form)

A more advanced website, taking 5 hours, would typically include:

• Welcome
• About Us
• Services
• Useful Links
• Contact Us (with form)
• Location (with map)

Full e-commerce is available, typically requiring ten hours development time and an annual licence of £100.

If you would like to edit your website yourself, or have news or a blog built-in, then you'll need a content management system. This is available for £100.

You'll need a domain name, i.e. the name used for your website and email. Domain names are £10 each per year. If you have already registered your own domain name, we can either transfer it in, or help you "point" your domain name at your website.

If you would like detailed statistics, including where your visitors are, what pages they visited, how long they stayed etc - a huge amount of clearly laid out data can be sent to your email address every month for just £10 per year.
