Frequently Asked Questions
Can we talk in person? Print

We are based in Beaconsfield, Bucks, and are happy to come to your office or home within a 20 mile radius. Otherwise we can arrange video conferencing through Skype.

 
What if I want to make some changes? Print

All of our packages include free minor changes for the first 15 days. AND of course with our self-maintainable websites as standard, you can make all the changes you like yourself as often as you like completely FREE. We can also provide an annual maintenance contract for those of you too busy running your own business!

 
How long will it take to design and build my website? Print

Most websites take us less than 7 days to build following the initial consultation. However it depends on the number of revisions and amount of extra functionality required.

 
Will you help with the content? Print

While it is easier for you to provide your own content as you know your company best, we can make suggestions and help with edits to make the content work for your audience and of course the search engines! Often it is a good idea to research the websites of similar organisations. While you cannot copy exactly what they say it can give you a good feel for the type of information you should be displaying on  your site.

We can also provide a professional copy writing service, where we will do all of the research and writing for you, taking the stress and strain out of creating your web content. This costs £30 per page.

 
What is CMS? Print

CMS stands for Content Management System, or as we like to call it "a Self-Maintainable" website. This effectively means a piece of software that requires little or no technical knowledge to use, that can allow you to maintain your own website i.e. easily change the pictures and the text. We mainly use Joomla! but can use other formats if you have a preference.

 
Do you design logo’s? Print

Yes, we can help with designing your logo. We find that it is a good idea to think about your logo before the website, as it helps us provide the theme and colours for the website design as well.

 
Can you provide images? Print

We recommend initially that you try to use your own custom images, as these really depict what you do. We can enhance and improve the quality of these images using our digital software so don't worry too much what kind of camera you have.

We also recommend looking on the non-copyright image databases Dreamstime and Istockphoto to find some image you like, and we can help you purchase these through our account that provides us with a small discount. We can also do the search and selection for you for a small fee.

We can also provide a photography service on request where we come to you and help take the perfect pictures especially for your website!

 
Can I use my own web host? Print

Yes. Sometimes you will find that you already have access to simple web hosting through your business broadband contract. We are happy to publish your website with them provided that it supports the  content that you require.

 
Can I have email addresses associated with my website? Print

You email addresses are usually part of your web hosting package. If you purchase the web hosting package from us (from £35) then you can have an unlimited number of email addresses associated with your website domain name.

 
Can I transfer my current domain name? Print

Yes. If you already have a domain name (website address / URL) registered then we can work with that. We always recommend our clients buy their domain names themselves as a matter of course, as this leaves them as the registered owner of the web address and thus the person in control. Once you have a domain name then we can easily set up the web hosting for you for just £35pa. We can happily recommend UK2.net to buy your domain name through.

 


Self Maintainable

A self-maintainable website means exactly that.

YOU can change the contents of your pages, add special offers, change your prices & opening times or anything else you want. It's as easy as typing a letter! You can even add brand new pages.

AND the Best Bit is that all this comes as standard from Al et Al Websites.
