Is This Plan For Me?

Your website is a valuable resource for your business.

It is how many people discover your product or service.

You want to keep your users engaged and ensure that your conversion rates are where they should be.

Still, you sometimes have to make amendments to the website to deal with naturally evolving changes that ensure you stay ahead of the competition.

Are you taking care of your website?

Your website security is probably okay, but you don’t really have the time to check and test every update that WordPress rolls out.

Your website may be slow and not that user-friendly, but you’ll get around to sorting it. It’s on the list, after all.

You don’t need to be an expert to keep ensure that your website remains a profitable asset in your business – that’s our job.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Design

    Q: How long does it take to build a website?
    A: We can build a website in as little as a week.


    Q: Will my site look like my competitors?
    A: No, unlike some of our competitors, we don’t limit your choices to a few generic templates. We will customise every template to perfectly fit your brand.


    Q: Can I change the images?
    A: Of course, you can supply your own images and/or find stock images you can use that will fit the design


    Q: Can I change the layout?
    A: Absolutely. You have full control over how you’ll site will look to make it perfectly fit your personality & brand.


    Q: I don’t have a brand (or I don’t want to use it). Is this a problem?
    A: It depends. We can build using what you have already but you might want our designers to create something fresh and new, from a simple logo redraw up to a full rebrand.

  • Ordering & Payments

    Q: Can I order and pay online each month?
    A: Yes. All plan payments are online via Direct Debit


    Q: Can I pay in full instead of Direct Debit?
    A: Sure. Drop us a message and we’ll send you an invoice


    Q: Who actually owns the website?
    A: During the first year, we retain ownership of the site (not your content) until the balance is paid off. At this point, website ownership transfers to you.  If paying in full, the site is owned by you from the start


    Q: What happens after the first year?
    A: If you’d like us to continue managing, hosting and supporting your website then you’ll move to a Care Plan. If , instead, you are leaving us at that stage (we’ve not had one yet) we’ll package and supply your site for you to transfer to your new provider.


    Q: Are there any additional costs?
    A: No. Our Website Plan prices are all published and fixed. Should your requirements change during the build there may be additional work needed and this will be discussed with you at the time if it requires an adjustment to your monthly fee.

  • Maintenance

    Q:  Do I need to do any updates?
    A:  No – and we recommend you don’t as we’ll review and test on a copy of your website where needed.


    Q:  Are all plugins included?
    A:  Yes, free plugins are included in all plans.  Premium (paid) plugins are included with Site Management Plans & bespoke websites.


    Q:  Do you look after security?
    A:  Yes.  We take security very seriously and set it up to be as secure as is practical.  We keep a close eye on your site and should the worst happen, recover it as a priority.


    Q:  What is included in routine maintenance?
    A:  Updates to WordPress Core, Themes and plugins


    Q:  What about development?  Is this classed as Maintenance?
    A:  No.  Minor Development changes are made using included Support Time included in Site Essentials and Site Management Plans.  TimeBank can also be purchased separately for this kind of work.
