| We offer what can only be described as a ‘FULL’ website service, taking care of every stage from start to finish and then an after-sales service for good measure. |
|
| Free, No Obligation Consultation |
|
|
| If you’ve not already done so, we will find and register a suitable domain name on behalf of your business. Your domain name is the name your website will be found at, for example our domain name is: www.awdltd.co.uk (short for: Advanced Web Designs Limited which would be way too long to type into a web browser!) . |
|
| Website Design |
|
| We will design the website for you based on the following: |
|
| |
 |
Your existing corporate identity (if you have one – if you don’t we know someone who can help) |
|
|
|
| |
|
The market place in which you do business |
|
|
|
| |
|
The visitors you intend the website to target |
|
|
|
|
| Ease of navigation on all websites is important so this is also considered in the design stage. |
|
| Website Development |
|
| Once the design of the website has been approved we start the development stage of the website. This can be as simple as the development of further pages, or more technical if Content Managed Systems are required to enable the customer to update areas of the website themselves. |
|
| Website Hosting |
|
| Once the website has been designed and developed it’s ready to go live on the World Wide Web. Website hosting is the place you are going to store the content of your website online. Hosting covers the text, design, images and the databases of your site. The hosting requirements differ from website to website but we cater for almost any type on our fully managed dedicated servers which offer good performance while remaining very cost effective for you. If your website is huge and attracts a very large amount of traffic you’ll probably require your own dedicated server, something else we can organise and manage for you as we work with some of the most proficient hosting companies in the UK. |
|
Emails |
|
| You’ll no doubt want to be able to send and receive emails, so setting up your email accounts is obviously another service we provide. |
|
Search Engine Optimisation |
|
| In order for your website to be found on search engines such as Google, it is vital that it has been designed and developed to be as search engine friendly as possible, something we do as a matter of course, however because the search engines are constantly altering the methods they use to list websites, it’s important to regularly monitor, review and alter your websites optimisation over any given period. To ensure that your site is kept fully up-to-date with any changes to search engine requirements we offer an annual ‘Extended Search Engine Optimisation’ package. |
|
Website statistics |
|
| So that you can get an idea of how successful your website is, as part of our website hosting package we also offer a comprehensive statistics package to enable you to monitor various analytical data relating to your website’s visitors. |
|
Website Maintenance |
|
| As your business grows or areas of your website become dated or irrelevant, you may wish to make some alterations, either updates, additions or deletions of areas. It is for this reason that we offer a simple maintenance service available to of our customers as well as to businesses who have had their websites developed elsewhere. |
|
Website Furtherance |
|
| In the world of the internet nothing stands still and what may be impossible to achieve today may become reality tomorrow. It’s for this reason that we will from time to time contact our customers with news about any new services we can offer that may have a benefit to their website and ultimately their business |
|
Website re-design |
|
| As most existing businesses now already have websites, we also offer a re-design service for customers who feel that their website is either dated, no longer represents their current market, doesn’t take advantage of the latest technologies or simply is one of those terrible websites that’s been build be a friend of a friend using a template driven off the shelf package....yuck |

| Shared Hosting Solutions |

Shared hosting is a solution where you are allocated a portion of the power, storage and bandwidth of a dedicated server. Shared hosting suits the large majority of websites and is designed for smaller and up and coming websites. They offer good performance while remaining very cost effective for you.
We offer our own shared hosting solution which offers fantastic speed and performance and suits a majority of our clients. Should you wish to use a 3rd party hosting solution, AWD also work with a number of shared hosting providers which meet our stringent requirements for performance, reliability and communication that our clients expect. |

| Server migration is the process of moving your website content, databases and/or SSL certificates to another hosting company or solution. Should you find you are unhappy with your current provider, do not worry, Advanced Web Designs can migrate your web site to a new provider quickly and efficiently. Our procedures for migration have proven to have minimal or no loss of service for the customer during the process. |
