Why should I have a website?
The World Wide Web is the marketplace of our future and fast becoming the most powerful method of global communication available today. In order to stay competitive, businesses of all types and sizes are finding that having a presence on the web is essential.

The number of people online globally is increasing daily so in essence a website will give your business an international presence. Visitors from all over the world will be able to contact you instantly. A website allows you to provide information 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can post information on your website on job opportunities, new and current locations, products and services your business offers and update important information instantly.

Can CelticWeb.Design help with web hosting and domain name registration?
I can certainly advise you on where to host your website and register a domain name for you. If you wish to host with a free service provider, I can also help.

I have a website that needs a revamp; what can CelticWeb.Design suggest?
This is certainly something I can help you with. However, costs vary depending on the complexity of the design and your requirements. I will be happy to discuss it with you.

Can I sell my products online on my website?
Yes you can. I can advise you on a secure server where it will be possible for you to take credit card orders online if you have a merchant account with your bank or an account with an online card transaction company. This will usually mean an additional subscription and a percentage on every transaction. If you are just starting up, I can advise you on the different possibilities.

What are my options after my website is complete?
Once your site is completed, there are several options open to you. I can advise you on where to host your website and register a unique domain name for your website. You may also decide to host your site with your current Internet provider. In any case, I can upload your site to the server of your choice. If you wish to upload your website yourself, I can provide you or a third party of your choice with a hard copy of your website to upload.

What will it cost to maintain my website?
If required, I can update content, images and functionality of your website. There is a small fee for website maintenance. Charges are either made by the week, month or by the update, which is agreed usually before commencing your website. Alterations can be sent to me via email, standard post or fax. I can then alter the pages and upload the new pages to the server or send you the altered pages for a third party to upload.

Will I be involved with the design process?
The choice is entirely yours. If you are unsure of what you want and wish me to design your website from scratch, I can certainly give you an innovative design keeping with the subject of your business. I will initially redesign a few pages for you to approve or be amended as necessary. After this I can then crack on with the rest of the site following the same design criteria as the first few pages. Upon completion you will be giving another chance to comment and approve the design before your brand new site goes online.

If you already have an idea of what you wish your website to look like, I can implement all your concepts into your web design.
