Below is information on how we can help you set up a web site.

We will design and set up a web site the way you want and which meets accessible web standards
We will help you through the process of structuring the site and adding the text that gets your message across
The site will be designed 'from scratch' to meet W3C validation (this means that the mark-up will be clean and will maximize the chance of appearing in search engines). It will be designed using 'style sheets' which allow us to make changes to the layout and appearance of the site quickly and consistently
We will optimize your images for the web - digital images or scans from your -so that they download quickly for site visitors but still look great on the site
We can also create PDF's of any of your leaflets, posters, reports etc so that these can be on your site too. These can be created from Word, PowerPoint, QuarkXPress, or InDesign. PDF's can also have bookmarks and hyperlinks for easier navigation.

We have a lot of experience in producing soundtracks so will add your music to the site or add information in audio format to make the site more accessible to people who find reading difficult
We can optimize your music tracks to enhance the clarity and volume, convert them to mp3 and upload them to your site
We can add video to your site so that your movies can be embedded on your site and will appear on your site or we can link to videos on MySpace and YouTube if you prefer.

We will help you get your site online, supporting you to find a web address (domain name), find a hosting company (to provide the web space so that the site can be accessed on the web) and uploading your site to the web
We will look at ways of making sure your site appears in search engines such as Google and Yahoo.

Once your site is online, we can update it for you. We only charge for the actual time we spend updating the site, so the smaller the changes, the lower the cost
We can make changes to the design, correct any errors and add new content to the site
We can also train you to update your site. We can point you towards low cost and free software to do this. We can also support you if you hit a problem to make sure the site is updated the way you want it.

We operate a community-conscious pricing structure. Contact us with your needs and budget - we will listen.

Rates start at £300 for designing and setting up a web site
We charge £30 an hour for updating or redesigning the site - although basic changes will usually cost less than this
Training is also £30 an hour (all rates include VAT)
