Websites for business

Since 2013 we've built Drupal websites. Starting with Drupal 5 and now the current release Drupal 10. Drupal is a popular and versatile content management system (CMS) that can be used to build a variety of web applications, from blogs and e-commerce sites to social networks and online learning platforms. Drupal offers many benefits for web developers and site owners, such as:

  • A flexible and modular architecture that allows for customization and integration with other tools and services.
  • A large and active community of developers and users who contribute to the development and maintenance of the core software and thousands of modules and themes.
  • Drupal has a modular architecture that allows you to extend its functionality with thousands of modules that provide features such as SEO, social media integration, multimedia, e-commerce, and more.
  • A robust and secure framework that follows the best practices of web development and security, and supports features such as user authentication, access control, caching, performance optimization, and multilingual support.
  • A user-friendly and intuitive interface that enables easy content creation, editing, and management, as well as collaboration and workflow management.
  • Security: Drupal follows best practices for web security and provides regular updates and patches to fix any vulnerabilities. Drupal also has a dedicated security team and a large community of developers who monitor and report any issues.

Drupal is a powerful and reliable CMS that can help you create engaging and dynamic web applications that meet your needs and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about our Websites for Business? Our FAQs provide answers to the most common queries. You can also contact our expert support team at any time.

How Long Does It Take To Create A Website?

The length of time it takes to create a fully functional website is based on several factors. Custom design work can take anywhere from 1 - 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the number of revisions you require. The development phase requires an additional 1 - 6 weeks, depending on the number of pages, and the functionality required. Of course, these are general guidelines, and we will make every effort to meet the timeframe you have in mind.

What Kind Of Technology Do You Support?

We specialise in building sites with the  Drupal Content Management System alongside HTML 5, CSS,  JavaScript  and PHP. Although it's unlikely, if there's something we can't do, we can reach out to our network of partners for additional services (at no additional cost to you).

Can I See My Website While It's In Progress?

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. We build your website on our development server and provide you with a username and password so that you can log in and monitor the progress of your site. During this phase, we encourage your feedback if something isn't quite the way you envisioned it or if you've changed your mind. Once your site is ready and you have provided your approval, we release it live on your server and submit your URL to the major search engines.

How Many Changes Can I Make To My Site Without Additional Cost?

We give as much latitude as we possibly can. After you've identified the general format and colour schemes of your preferred design, we'll complete up to 2 rounds of major revisions at no charge. All minor revisions are provided at no charge.

Are Any Other Services Included In Your Web Design And Development Costs?

Yes, our web design and development service include configuration of your email accounts, detailed monthly traffic reports and basic search engine optimization services. Basic SEO includes submission of your site to the major search engines, and the setup of your primary metatag information (Page Title, Description and Keywords). Additionally, your site is built from the ground up with search engine friendly technologies and methods.

I Need Some Changes On My Website Or Template. Do You Provide That Service?

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about Website Maintenance? Our FAQs provide answers to the most common queries. You can also contact our expert support team at any time.

 

What Does Each Hour Get Me?

We bill by the hour (in 20 min blocks), a minimum of 1 hour. We log everything in an hour log and bill at the end of the month. We also strictly enforce that all updates under 3 hours require 2 days for completion and updates over 3 hours up to 10 days.

In general, we don't conduct updates sent that day and charge extra for next day rush updates. This serves all our customers well and ensures that those who submit update requests in advance aren't pushed to the back of the queue by last-minute updates from other customers. It pays to be prepared. We endeavour to provide the best service possible for all of our customers and will update your requests as quickly as possible.

This is important to ensure that 'Client's don't wait to send updates the day before they need them, therefore interrupting the design schedule of existing projects. The majority of our 'Client's sites are on CMS systems, so they are able to perform the updates themselves, this is more for the 'Client's who find it difficult or aren't interested or too busy and need something more than a regular update.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Web Hosting? Our FAQs provide answers to the most common queries. You can also contact our expert support team at any time.

What is Web Hosting?

As the Web Hosting provider, we use data centres housing large numbers of web servers, and provides space for customers to host web projects. This allows us to offer you world-class website performance and availability – and at a fraction of the cost of purchasing and managing servers yourself..

What is shared hosting?

Can I use my existing domain name?
