Good questions to ask
I already have a Facebook page and a Google listing. Do I need a website?
They're a great start, but many people want to check a proper website before they get in touch: in one recent survey, 39% said they'd decided not to buy from a business because it had no website. A website also belongs to you, not to a social network.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so every job gets its own fixed quote in writing before anything starts. You also see a free preview first, and you only pay once you're happy with it.
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. You tell us about your business and send a few photos. We handle everything else, including the domain, hosting and Google set-up.
How long does it take?
You'll usually see a preview within a few days of sending the information. Most sites are live within a week.
Who owns the website?
The domain is registered in your business's name. If you ever decide to leave, it stays yours.
Can you change things later?
Yes. Email what you'd like changed and it's done, usually within a couple of working days.
Do you only work with London businesses?
No. We're based in London, but everything is done by email, so we work with businesses anywhere in the UK.
Let's get your business found
A few lines is plenty: what you do, where you are and what you'd like the website to do for you. Marian will reply personally with a free preview offer and a clear quote. No obligation, no sales calls.
