Web Design in Long Eaton

By structuring it properly. Ranges and models get their own pages instead of one enormous gallery, images are compressed and sized for the screen showing them, and photos load as the visitor scrolls rather than all at once. A buyer can then browse a hundred products without waiting. Each range is also findable on its own, so somebody searching a specific style lands directly on it.

We quote per project with one fixed price, not a vague day rate, because the cost depends on how many pages you need and whether there is anything clever like bookings or payments. Hosting, backups, security and CMS updates are then a simple monthly fee. You get the full figure in writing before we start, and it does not move unless you ask for more.

A straightforward brochure site for a small business is usually a few weeks from go-ahead to live. The part that decides the timeline is nearly always content: photos, service descriptions and the text about your team. If you need something urgently for a launch or a rebrand, tell us the date and we will say honestly whether it is doable.

No. You own the website, the domain and the content outright. Hosting and support are billed monthly and you can stop with reasonable notice, and if you go we hand over a full copy of the site. We host and maintain it because we are good at it, not because you are stuck with us.

Either works. Plenty of sites get built over a couple of phone calls and email, which suits people who are busy. If you would rather sit down with someone, we will come to you and walk through the plan in person. We are local, so a meeting is not a big trek for us.

We ask what the site needs to do and who it is for, take a look at what you have now, and go through your competitors' sites so you can see what you are up against. Then you get a written proposal with the page list, the timeline and a fixed price. No obligation, and no pressure to sign anything.

A CMS, or content management system, is the admin screen where you log in and edit your own site: change text, swap a photo, add a news post. No code involved. We set yours up so the bits you are likely to change are easy to find, then show you how in about half an hour. If you would rather not, we do it for you.

Word of mouth still works, but people check you online before they ring, even when a friend recommended you. If there is nothing to find, or what they find looks abandoned, that recommendation loses some of its weight. A small, honest site with your services, your area and a phone number is often all it takes.

Usually yes. We take a copy, move it onto our UK hosting and get it patched, backed up and running properly again. Occasionally a site is built on something so old or so locked down that a rebuild is cheaper than propping it up, and we will tell you straight if that is the case. Either way you keep your domain and your content.

Yes, and it is one of the jobs we are asked for most in Long Eaton. Furniture and upholstery units are hard on wireless: thick walls, steel racking, dust and machinery all knock a signal about. We walk the building first, put access points where they are actually needed rather than where the nearest socket happens to be, and keep the office and the shop floor on separate networks.

Not really. It is ten miles and a straight run down the M1 from junction 27 to junction 25, usually twenty-five to thirty minutes. Most faults get dealt with remotely as soon as you call, and when a job needs somebody in the building we drive over to Long Eaton, same day for anything urgent. You get the same engineer each time, so nobody has to explain the setup twice.
