CJA Consulting(UK)Ltd
are fully flexible in their approach to handling Web design, hosting and management
of clients Web Sites. This price guide has been designed as a user friendly tool
to help prospective customers estimate the cost of a bespoke website based on
the complexity and size of their requirements.
Cost
falls into five main categories:-
Purchase
of a Domain Name
What
would you like to be called? www.john-smith-enterprizes.co.uk
These names
are purchased from the registering authorities, normally for a period of two years.
Renewal of the registration at the quoted fee is necessary to maintain ownership
of the name. CJA Consulting will remind you when this is required and implement
the renewal.
Hosting
All
web Sites have to be installed on a computer that is permanently connected to
and gives access to the internet. This is called a "Server" and it is
necessary to hire space on the server, so that the Web Site can be viewed on the
internet.
Design
This
is the most difficult part to estimate as the cost is dependent upon the amount
of work required to make the Web Site look and work as you would like it to be.
Some basic rules of thumb however can be applied in terms of the number of pages
and their size and complexity.
Search
Engines
The
above three sections (domain name, hosting and design) will establish a presence
on the World Wide Web but to enable the general public to find your Web Site we
use other services called "Search Engines", Google, Jeeves and Altavista
are probably the best known.
The
search engine makes the connection between the person searching for particular
information and the Web Site that contains that information. i.e. if we enter
"Florist, Maidstone" the search engine would identify all of the florists
in the Maidstone area.
For
the search engines to do their work they have to be told when new Web Sites have
been created and what they contain. We will ask you to supply all of the relevant
words that you feel people will search for. We will also need to know which you
consider to be the 20 most important ones. This is called "Optimising the
Site and Submitting to the Search Engines". CJA Consulting offer this service
to maintain a high ranking for the Web Sites they manage.
Maintenance
This
service ensures that a Web Site is maintained with up to date information and
can be implemented on a yearly contract basis or "as needed". This would
include news letters, current events, price changes etc
