Don't Do It Yourself!
You may be thinking it's easy to create your own website, perhaps using a ready-made template or saving files "as web pages". And yes, in a way it's easy for anyone to get started in HTML and to create a very primitive page - but it takes care and skill to get professional results. In the same way, it's easy for anyone to put a plant in their garden, but it takes training and experience to be a landscape architect. There are no short cuts to great results!This BBC News report states that people judge a website on its appearance in just milliseconds - and that "if people believe a website looks good, then this positive quality will spread to other areas, such as the website's content... they will continue to use the website that made a good first impression".
So a professionally made and well presented site is valuable, whereas one with a home-made appearance is likely to be disregarded, no matter how useful the content. In fact, quite a chunk of our business is remedial work to fix up websites made by people who were well intentioned but inexperienced. Why not get it right from the start?
As well as looking good, your website should be accessible to all users - in fact this is required under the Disability Discrimination Act - so you will need a specialist to ensure that your website not only looks great and works well, but that it can be used by everyone.
Worried about the cost? Well, because we are experienced at creating high quality websites, it will take us far less time than it will take you! If you are able to learn all the skills you need, that's great - but otherwise, what is your time worth? In fact, our websites are probably a lot more affordable than you think - bespoke sites start at around £500 which compares very favourably with prices charged by alternative providers like Yell.com, particularly as theirs are template driven and only 3 pages. Let us give you as many pages as you need, in a colour and style which suits your company image.
A good website is a sales tool. Used effectively, it should bring in business and begin to pay for itself.
We create attractive, efficient websites at an affordable price. Call 07939 579090 to get started.
"We are really delighted with our new website. Flash was extremely fast, friendly and helpful all the way through the process and went to great lengths to get the website just as we wanted. As complete novices to the world of website design, we were grateful to have a person who made the task run so smoothly.
Thank you very much!"

"Thank you so much for all your hard work on my behalf; you very quickly grasped the image I wanted to portray. I am really pleased with the website that was delivered earlier than I expected and on budget. Your extensive knowledge of websites and the legislation that affects them is impressive and led to a level of detail that I was not expecting. I literally could not have done it without you. It has been a real pleasure working with Web Design & Mastery."
