We at DesignCoUK try and make the costing of a website as simple a process as we can. Many website companies will either not show you any prices up front, or will make you go through a whole series of questions and scenarios before ending up with an over complicated quote that you can’t understand. We have produced a simple price guide with a number of options to help you see just how much your site will cost at a glance.

For more details, and to see the price guide, click here.

We can use a variety of solutions to enable you to be able to manage and look after the site yourself. Depending on exactly what level of updates you require we can either use an off the self package such as Macromedia’s Contribute or use a bespoke database solution to enable you to update the content of your site quickly and easily without needing any knowledge of how to build websites.
Alternatively we would be more than happy to manage your site for you for less money than you might expect.

For more details on any of these options please call the office

If you have registered a domain name through us and have requested an email address then you should have received a letter/email confirming all the details that you need to be able to set up your email software. If you are going to use Microsoft Outlook than we have provided a step-by-step guide to show you exactly how to set this up to be able to receive emails. (Microsoft Outlook Express is very similar and these steps should also help setting this up). If you are going to use any other software to receive emails then please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation to set up a new email account.

As a general rule you should ensure that the name you are looking to register does not infringe any existing copyrights or trade marks. You should use only letters, numbers and hyphens in your choice of name and keep the total number of characters used to within 63 characters including the extension such as .co.uk and .com.

The site selector section of our website is where we develop our client’s websites. This is a feature that allows each client to see the development of their sites as the work takes place. We password protect the sites, individually, that are currently in development to allow our clients the final approval on any site prior to it being published on the internet for all to see. Once it is published we will create a link to it so that browsers of our site can see the completed work.

For more examples of our work please visit the pages in our showcase section of this site.
