Is our web design consultation service free?

We do charge for this service but it is well worth the money. Many other web designers offer free consultations but include the fee at the back end of the project. They may also have relationships with service providers or software manufacturers that mean you are not getting impartial information. Some are working their way through college and using your project as a learning experience. They may be doing design work as a second job at nights so you won’t be at the top of their list of priorities. They may be good at one aspect of design but lack the skills to deliver the entire package.

We are different.

We are usually online to deal with your enquiry when you visit the web site via the chat facilities. If we are not online you only need to e-mail us and we will arrange an online consultation. No one else in Northern Ireland is offering you this kind of instant access to their knowledge and experience.

One member of our team specializes in graphic design, sales and marketing, SEO, Copy Writing, and SEM. The other member has a PHD in a computer related discipline and specializes in database and backend design. All the skills exist within our team to deliver on the most ambitious project.

“Is that really worth paying for, after all you only put a few words on a page?”

That is an exact quote from a would-be client and it reflects the attitude of some people to web design and how important the design is to the operational success of the web site.

If you don’t need to recoup your initial investment on the web site and then make a profit then it doesn’t matter at all. If you want to make money with your web site it is very important to have a well thought out brief that is followed by a well executed design, resulting in a web site that actually works for your product or service.

That is why we charge for this service.

What do we charge for a consultation?

We charge £25 per hour paid in advance of the consultation so any conversation we have before that is free. Payment is made to our verified Paypal account so you are fully covered by the terms of Paypal. The payment is non- refundable after the session. In the unusual event that you ask a question we cannot answer on the spot we will use our extensive network of contacts in the field of web design to get the answer for you after the session.

During the consultation you will have full access to our knowledge and experience of web design and marketing. We have been building web sites and databases for over five years.

Over one thousand new web sites are built every day, so any competitive advantage you can get should be grabbed with both hands. We are offering an insight into how various aspects of web design actually work in practice. We hope you take advantage of it.

Here are some examples of our recent work:

Site Name Revelations

Web Site Url www.revelations.co.uk

Type of Business: Internet Café

We consulted with Revelations extensively about their content management issues. We discussed ways in which they would have the ability to update the web site without having to learn to be web designers and we offered a range of solutions. The client picked Mambo (an open source PHP & MySql script) and we designed a plan to roll Mambo out on their web site.

Site Name Concreteheads

Web Site Url www.concreteheads.co.uk

Type of Business: Lean manufacturing training

Since the clients had no Internet experience we spent a lot of time in training and consultation with them. We worked with them on keyword strategy and link strategy as well as advice on more traditional marketing venues. We tried to make sure they were on the right track with their design and marketing efforts.

We provided them with several keyword reports and ideas for how to get people to visit their web site. We still host their site on our web space for a yearly fee.
