FAQs
Q. How much does a website cost ?
Normally between £300 and £1000. Any less and it's highly unlikely
to bring you any benefits.
Q. Do I need to know anything technical ?
A. Very little, you can leave that bit to us !
Q. Can I update my own website ?
A. You can, but this needs some know how. The easiest and cheapest is to
use Front Page (which comes with Microsoft Office). Otherwise you need a
web editing package and FTP software to upload your changes.
Q. How much does it cost if you do it ?
A. Fortunately for you, not very much ! A normal website needing monthly
updates would be about £10 per month. Estate agents who need rapidly
changing websites might be about £25 to £50 per month.
Q. Supposing I make a mistake, can I wreck the website ?
Very unlikely, as we can template the site to avoid this. In the worst case
scenario we keep back-up copies of your site.
Q. How do I know how well my website is doing ?
A. Aweb stats package tells you all you need to know and is very cheap (£5
per month). Highly recommended.
Q. How does email work ?
A. Your email address is linked to your website. If we are hosting your
site all you need do is let us know which addresses you want and we provide
two email addresses free of charge. We help you configure Outlook or Outlook
Express, but be warned, if you use AOL to connect this can be a nightmare
and we leave that to you !
Q. How do I stop spam ?
You can pay extra for a spam filtering service.
Q. Supposing my website doesn't work. Do I get a refund ?
A. Did you really say that ?! Sorry, no guarantees in this game, though
we pride ourselves on an exceptionally high success rate. If your site doesn't
work then there are two simple answers: 1) your target audience aren't web
users, & no one is on the line buddy ! 2) we need to work harder !
Q. How do I know I can trust Tate Web Design ?
You don't, so with any web design company do your research. Look at our
portfolio and see what we are doing for existing clients. Then meet us and
decide for yourselves.
