The timescale of a website design project is often dictated by the client. If you have a deadline in mind we will endeavour to meet it for you. The most common delay in the development of a website is waiting for content (text/images) to be sent to us and slow responses to our emails.
In the majority of cases a meeting isn't necessary and most of our websites are generally completed with contact via email and telephone only. We upload an "in-development" of the website on our server where you can view it's progress and relay comments back to us. We then liaise with you regularly to discuss the development of the website to ensure the design and functionality is exactly as you wish.
We fully support any website we design and are always available should you encounter any problems. We also offer a managed service to maintain your website and carry out any required changes/enhancements.

A domain name is the name you see in your web browers address bar when visiting a website e.g. www.purpleserve.net. Web hosting is where we actually create your site on our server i.e. a hosting server that stores your website thus enabling people around the world to see it.
