Still have questions?

• How much does a website cost?

  Excellent question. Weʼd love to give you an easy and complete answer, letʼs try. A good website is not a product, but rather the result of a few operations: analysis of your goals, design, custom built technology, information architecture, possible marketing strategies. Weʼd like to encourage you to get a more accurate idea about costs right now by using our easy quote tool.

• What about free websites and templates?

  Many providers offer a service of setting up a website for free in exchange of advert space. Others can offer cheap webdesign by using ready made templates. It might be a good solution until your level of image quality is not the top priority. This is a little bit like housing solutions: a prefabricated house might be good for some people, whereas others might need to customise and add extra value to their home.

• I have received various quotes, some very low, others very high. How should I make a decision?

  Make sure the providers explain in detail the costs and why they choose to use specific technologies instead of others. For the cheap quotes check out what type of websites they have developed so far, look at the quality, judge according to goals and achievements.

• Is it difficult to start an e-commerce?

  If you think about your products and licenses, we will do the rest! Managing an e-commerce website is easy as apple pie. Plus you will have a tool that can potentially automatise most of your administration processes.

• Is it easy to update of a website?

  Most updates can be made using a CMS (see next answer) or using an e-commerce management tool. In case of a complex website (with web applications) some advanced changes need to be made by a professional. Showing you how to update your website is part of the consultancy we offer.

• What is a CMS?

  The acronym stands for Content Management System. With a CMS you can easily update most of the contents of a website. They are great tools, but be careful to choose an easy and user-friendly CMS, as sometimes changes and custom updates might be necessary for security reasons. We will always provide you with the choice of a good CMS, allowing you to take any further new steps during the future.

• How can people find me?

  Many think that the important thing is "to be on the internet". This is not true especially nowadays when competition is overwhelming. Thatʼs why a marketing strategy has become crucial. If your website has been well develop, it should already be in a good position on search engines. Your content is very important too: we always recommend a professional web writer to prepare your content. There is a number of other ways to boost visibility, like popular social media networking and affiliate marketing strategies.

• I want to be number 1 on Google

  We would like to ask you: do you always click the first result on Google? If your website is optimised, the description appearing on Google could be more interesting than the first result. It could be really catching a userʼs attention and driving more clicks than other results.
  
  Do you always find what you are looking for by typing exactly those words? We think that being on the first search results page for a big variety of query strings is better than being at the first position for only one key phrase. People will commonly find what they are looking for by searching for a key phrase matching the text found among your website content.

• I have put a scrapbook together...

  Great! We love to hear from people who are actively involved in the design process. Let us know about your inspirations and why not, also about things you don't like.

• Branding my website: what does it mean?

  Branding is a marketing practice of creating a name and design representing your unique identity: who you are and what your product/service is. Branding on a website is achieved through its design, content and organisation. A good strategy means that you are communicating well: it allows both loyal users to come back to your website and new users to recognise your value.

• Social media, whatʼs all the fuss about?

  Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and so on... are all valuable tools allowing people and businesses to connect with each other: there is no hierarchy, but rather a democracy of people. Advantages for organisations and businesses who choose to appear early and efficiently on social media allow growth without hiring more salespeople. We can help you integrate the use of social media on your website and achieve a successful strategic approach.

• Is a website the solution for me?

  A website can offer great advantages. But sometimes there is no absolute necessity for it. In some cases we have honestly recommended people to use a free tool such as blogging platforms, photo community, or just a facebook fan page. However after a successful experimenting stage, these clients have come back to us and we developed a complete website for them. Each project is different according to your goals and the timeframe set for achieving them. This is what we are here for: get in touch with us, we will be happy to help you solve any doubts.

• I want a major redesign and integration with new functionalities. Can I keep my old website?

  Yes you can. There is sometimes no necessity to start a brand new website from scratch. There are many advantages in keeping the same website. For example: continuity of relationship with search engines, consistency of branding strategies to keep your old customers.

• If you start working for me, am I free to go another developer whenever I want?

  We hope your experience with us will be so great that you will not need to do this. But the answer is Yes, you are free to do it. We do not tie in the client to our agency, any technologies used by us are "open" and you will always have access to the source code and files.
