FAQs
How much does a new website cost?
It varies depending upon what your requirements are however prices start from £500 and where possible projects are quoted at an agreed fixed price in advance so you know exactly what the total cost will be before I begin work
Do you provide a one stop service?
Yes I do. I can build you a website from start to finish. I can register your domain name, set up your web hosting and create your website for you.
Can you redesign my current website?
Yes I can, and your current site doesn't necessarily need to be a WordPress website, if it isn't I can convert it during the redesign process.
What do you need before you can start?
The more information/content you can provide, the quicker the web development will be. If you don't have a logo, graphics or written content already prepared, I can do this for you too.
After my site is built can I update it myself?
Yes you can. When I have finished I will turn the website 100% over to you and you are free to manage it however you like.

FAQs
How much do you charge for updates?
My standard rates are £60 per hour or £350 for a full day with discounted rates available for retainer work.
What are WordPress updates?
WordPress comes with a built-in update notification system and it highlights the number of available updates when you log into your WordPress dashboard. Updates to the WordPress software and WordPress plugins are released ad hoc and can include anything from tweaks and fixes to brand new functionality.
Do I need the latest version of WordPress?
Yes you do. WordPress is free, and it is developed by a community of developers. With each new release, they fix bugs, add new features, improve performance and enhance existing features to stay up to date with new industry standards. When you do not update your WordPress site, you are risking your website security and missing out on new features and improvements.
How long will I wait for an ad hoc change?
It depends what the change is and what I am currently working on. Small text changes are usually completed the same day, larger updates may need to be scheduled in.
Can you edit images/photographs?
Yes I can. My image editing service includes; resizing and cropping, enhancement, sharpening and softening, brightening, colour and contrast adjustment, straightening, removal of unwanted elements, merging images and cutting out parts of an image.
Can I see how my website is performing?
Yes you can. By default every website I develop includes Google Analytics and your WordPress dashboard includes a summary over time of sessions, users, page views, bounce rate and much more.
