These are some of the questions we often get asked, together with answers, of course!
Domains
-
How long are domains registered for?
The length of time you can register a domain name for depends on the domain registrar you choose and the specific top-level domain (TLD) you're interested in. You can typically register a domain name for 1 to 10 years.
We primarily use Fasthosts for our domain registration.
-
Should I choose a .co.uk or a .com domain for my website?
It depends on what your website is for. If your target market is global, go for a .com. If it is the United Kingdom, go for a .co.uk.
Having a .co.uk domain name immediately tells your potential UK customers that you are also based in the UK, and that your service/products are aimed at them.
General

What methods of payment do you accept?
Payment is normally by way of Bank Transfer upon submission of invoice. If you prefer to pay by cheque or cash, that is OK. Credit cards are not accepted.
-

How much does a new website cost?
The cost of a new website can be difficult to generalise on because it depends on a number of different factors. The cost will vary based upon your specific requirements, the platform you may require (e.g. WordPress, Shopify, or custom development), and the complexity of your project.
-
Do I own the copyright for the website you build for me?
Under our standard contract you have the right to use the website for as long as you want. You do not own the code used to build the website - that remains with us.
