Services
We will set up your website from scratch for you, organise the domain and the hosting if you prefer and on completion to your specifications, your approval and payment, will either hand it over to you in its entirety, or manage it on your behalf for an annual fee depending on your needs.
We are very flexible and prices are negotiable according to your requirements. Standard personal sites with a few content pages, will only cost you a couple of hundred dollars from start to finish, with a full handover on completion. More complex sites using scripts that require in-depth amends to templates and additional needs like forums, galleries etc. will be dependant on how much work it entails and the amount of 'aftercare' that would be required. We would contact you should an essential upgrade need to be implemented to any relevant external party software in the case of a complete handover - with an annual charge, the updates would automatically be implemented and you will be advised of our every move as and when it happens.
We will quote you up front and will require 50% payment before commencement of the site to cover the costs as we go along. The remaining 50% must be paid on approval, before the final hand over of the site. Payment can be made via cheque, bank transfer or through paypal.
The Basic Website
We can create a strikingly unique personal site to your brief, perfect for small businesses and individuals. This will include standard navigation features to different pages of content, including a simple php contact form which allows your clients to email you directly via the server – without the need for a link to your email address being accessible all over the net. Please note that these sites (although good-looking) are static (either fixed width or expandable to a percentage of the viewer's monitor) without flash features. Rollovers and graphic animation can be provided though.
vB Forums
Setting up of a vBulletin forum (quite frankly one of the best forum scripts available – please note that annual fees are required for the script, depending on whether you want to own or lease a license, see vbulletin for more information) with a vBAdvanced or vBDrupal homepage (free scripts) and add-ons including numerous hack features available such as a game arcade, chat room and a photo gallery (annual fees required). A single skin design to your specifications would be supplied over and above the default one, unless you request other options.
Content Management Systems (CMS)
Customised adaption of Content Management Systems (ie Mambo and Joomla). You will be able to input your own data via the admin panel depending on the content of your site and what you ultimately want to achieve. We also work with WordPress – this is blog script which can also be successfully used as a simple CMS. Please note that essential software or security updates are released to these scripts periodically.
Directories and Topsites
Brilliant for marketing and advertising purposes. They provide a source of external links to other sites, are beneficial to all parties concerned and can be used as a source of income. Karl owns a few and is more than willing to set one up for you, either as an extension to your current site or as a stand-alone site.
Shopping Cart Ecommerce Sites
Customised adaption of zen-cart ecommerce shopping cart solutions. Other scripts can be used as an alternative if you prefer. Please note that essential software or security updates are released to these scripts periodically.
One-off Graphic Elements
Customised graphics – if you need unique one-off header banner designs, customized buttons or graphic elements and custom digital illustrations (see explanation) please feel free to contact us.
Print Design
If you need any printed material, Natalie has over 18 years of experience in the print design industry, please feel free to discuss your requirements with her.
Website Marketing
With a basic package, we will provide the initial marketing and search engine optimization to get your site on the road to being recognised by the relevant search engines. With a yearly management contract, we will provide ongoing marketing services for your site – we know that our link submission techniques are successful, they will certainly get you noticed on the search engines and provide a good page rank for your site. This is very time-consuming process, but well worth the effort in the long run.
