Web design on a budget07 Oct

You don’t have to break the bank to have a website designed for you any longer. The Website Designers offer a low cost design which assumes that there will be a long term relationship between the designer and customer and the low prices reflect this. To keep costs down, The Website Designers use a standard, professional ‘template’ for all designs, but clients can select choose the colour ’scheme’.

Firstly, The Website Designers do not assume that you will want a fully blown website, after all, most people actually struggle to fill these pages and websites are often priced on a ‘per page’ basis. In addition, it is a fact, that all search engines place more emphasis on the front (index) page than any other. Therefore, logic dictates, that if this includes all of the relevant information, save for the contact form, together with key words used by searchers, you will gain maximum benefit for minimum cost. Therefore The Website Designers assume that close to 80% of all customers will opt for a single page website.

With a single page website, you do not even need to purchase your own domain, because it can be hosted, at no additional cost of your own www.done4.co.uk sub-domain. For example you could have your company name, such as www.jda-builders.done4.co.uk or if you prefer, and this is better for search engine optimisation, use a generic description, such as www.leeds-builders.done4.co.uk. If you want, you can have both, subject to an additional annual charge (using the same design), so you can benefit from providing your customers with your own ‘personal’ business site address, whilst using a search engine friendly domain for new customers, its up to you. In addition, you will have your very own, personalised mailboxes, which you can use in conjunction with your favourite email company, for example you could have john@jda-builders.done4.co.uk. These are free, up to 3 with a single page website and an additional one for each additional page designed. So a five page website would provide you with upto 5 mail boxes. These can also be accessed via the web, much the same as Google Mail, Yahoo and so on.

For those that want a larger website, with 3 or more pages, even here the costs are kept low, at less than £100 for the design, including the uploading of images and logo, adding of key words and placing of your copy. If required, The Website Designers, will provide copy at a small additional charge, based on information provided by the client. A smart, search engine friendly template is used ensuring that the maximum use of key words can be used to optimise each website for search engine indexes.

The Website Designers understand that design over substance is not right for the customer. Yes, some clients will like a professional ‘feel’ to their websites and they cater for this, but they also fully appreciate that a website that cannot be founf is like winking in the dark, you know you are doing it, but no-one else does. Therefore, it is substance first, websites are designed to maximise the possibilit of new customers finding the site. As a consequence, The Wensite Designers, provide a listing in three well respected web directories, free of charge, listing in these directories would normally cost between £23.00 and £52.00 each. The value of these 3 listings alone would normally cover or exceed the cost of the actual design. The three directories are; Directory Search, SlackAlice and Vermity.

Provided clients have the copy, images and a logo, it is possible to have a new website up and on the internet within a week.
