Our web services
Domain names
If you already have a domain name, that’s great, but if you need help choosing and registering one, we can help you. We can check whether any names you have in mind are available. If your chosen name is already taken, we can help you find an alternative domain.
If you’re having difficulties choosing a suitable domain for your new (or existing) business, we’ll be happy to help you and make suggestions. Whenever possible, it is a good idea to include a keyword in your Domain name – it is likely to help your website rankings. However, this is not mandatory and not always possible.
Website hosting
We host all of our websites on reputable commercial servers which are very reliable and monitored 24/7/365, as well as regularly upgraded and, as required for professional/business websites, free of advertising banners.
Our hosting solution also includes website usage statistics packages which monitor the activity on your website at all times. This is a very useful tool to check your website is doing the best it can for your business.
SSL certificates for website security
Since July 2018, it has become essential for all website owners to add an SSL Certificate to their website.
Most of the browsers now flag out a security warning for websites without the SSL encryption – this scary warning discourages users to visit any website without a valid SSL certificate – characterised by the little green padlock in front of the website address and of course ‘https‘ (the added ‘s’ indicating it is ‘Secure’) instead of ‘http’.
Emails
Our website hosting packages come with 3 mailboxes, ie 3 free email addresses. If you need more mailboxes, this can be arranged for a one-off cost of £3 per extra email address.
Mailboxes come with a standard auto-responder facility and a forwarding service if required.
We can also provide hosting for email accounts even if you don’t have a website yet, or no longer have a website but wish to keep the email attached to your domain.
Website updates
We generally update and maintain the websites we design, saving you time and leaving free to run your business – while we run ours!
However, if you choose to have a WordPress website and you wish to maintain it yourself, that is fine too.
If you’d like to take care of your website but need a bit of help to get up to speed with it, we can provide training to help you start – for fairness, this service is charged by the hour.
Website maintenance and back-up
For your peace of mind, we provide a website back-up service – weekly, monthly or just once or twice a year, as it suits you. This means that should the worst happen, we could help you recover your website.
This is particularly recommended if you have a WordPress website and choose to look after your website yourself.
We can also check and maintain your website on a monthly basis, running software updates as necessary.
