What sort of website do I need?

Before we make a website for you, it is important to decide which sort of website will offer your business the best value and options, for now and in the future.  Your business, and it’s needs will dictate what type of site is best suited

There is one big question to deal with first – do you need a static site, or a dynamic one?

Static sites
Static sites are like books or brochures, they are fixed, and you can not update them easily once they are online. To subsequently update your website will  require you to call us back.  We will make the changes for you, and this will usually incur a small charge.   In our price list we call these sorts of sites static sites

Dynamic sites
Dynamic sites have a page which you can log into. There will be a system where you can add / edit or change content yourself.  Long term, this means you are in control of ammending the content on your site yourself, without the need to contact us

Dynamic sites come in many different variants – blogs, content management sites, e-commerce sites etc.

Making the choice

If you want a website that needs to present the same information today, as it will need to present in a few years time, a static site is probably for you. If you feel that you will need to regularly change and amend your content, then a dynamic site is probably the best choice for your business
