Web are fully flexible in their approach to handling Web design, hosting and management
of clients websites. This price guide has been designed as a user friendly tool
to help prospective customers estimate the cost of a bespoke website based on
the complexity and size of their requirements. Cost
falls into five main categories:- Purchase
of a Domain Name
What
would you like to be called? www.john-smith-enterprizes.co.uk
These names are
purchased from the registering authorities, normally for a period of two years.
Renewal of the registration at the quoted fee is necessary to maintain ownership
of the name. CJA Web will remind you when this is required and implement the renewal. Hosting
All
web Sites have to be installed on a computer that is permanently connected to
and gives access to the internet. This is called a "Server" and it is
necessary to hire space on the server, so that the website can be viewed on the
internet. CJA Web offer hosting facilities to all customers. Design
This
is the most difficult part to estimate as the cost is dependent upon the amount
of work required to make the Web Site look and work as you would like it to be.
Some basic rules of thumb however, can be applied in terms of the number of pages
and their size and complexity. Search
Engines
The
above three sections (domain name, hosting and design) will establish a presence
on the World Wide Web but to enable the general public to find your website we
use other services called "Search Engines", Google, Jeeves and Altavista
are probably the best known. The
search engine makes the connection between the person searching for particular
information and the website that contains that information. i.e. if we enter "Florist,
Maidstone" the search engine would identify all of the florists with a Maidstone
address. For
the search engines to do their work, they have to be told when new websites have
been created and what they contain. This is called "Optimising the Site and
Submitting to the Search Engines".
CJA Web offer this service to maintain
a high ranking for the websites they manage. Maintenance
This
service ensures that a website is maintained with current information, including
news letters, current events, price changes etc.
Maintenance can be implemented on a yearly contract basis or "as needed".
