Website Design & Hosting from £160
Instalment options available
The Question: You have social media feeds such as Facebook, Instagram & X(Twitter) so do you need a website too?
The Answer: Having a clear website with static information that is simple to view on mobile phones, tablets or computers adds to your business. Social media pages are often limited on key points about your business. Location, Contact Details & Regular Events/Offers are ideal for a simple web page.
You can include a live Facebook Feed and also include extras, such as a Google Calendar, Contact/Booking Form & Store.
There are many free web design services available, if you have the time to work on them yourself, however, if you would like someone else to take the strain and set everything up for you, to include domain name(s), hosting, design and emails, then please get in touch.
I usually aim to have a Beta Page ready in 2-3 days, with full completion and launch within 2 weeks.
This will include Search Engine Submission & Google Analytics Registration, if required.
