FAQ

Probably you need both of them. For a decent website you’d better work with a team of professionals which includes a developer, designer, illustrator, copywriter, animator, SEO specialist… AddVentuReDesign offers you a package of services rendered by a professional team.

Your Web site copy is your “salesperson.” It is the only persuasive element of your site. Copy – if written properly – is what reaches your customers on a personal level and shows them how you are the solution to their problems. Words are our sole source of communication. They trigger our emotions and are the defining factor in most of our decisions (especially our buying decisions). An experienced copywriter knows the requirements for website writing and understands how to blend emotions, the communication style of your target customer, and the details and facts about your business into a harmonic flow that is well received by your clients and triggers a desire to buy, take an action or attract attention.

In addition, if search engine positioning is of importance to you, you need to realize that the selection of effective keywords and delicate balance of keyword saturation in your copy is absolutely vital to success.

So the answer is “yes.” If you feel you are able to accomplish the things listed above, you can certainly write your own copy. However, we strongly suggest enlisting the talents of a pro!

The time frame is determined by the size of your website, the complexity of your design, also our current work schedule. The simple rule is: the more time the designer devotes to your site, the more unique and spicy the website will be.

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 creation and completion of a new website is waiting for content (images/text) to be sent to us by the client. That’s why we advise you to pass trough our “Website Quote Request Form” helping you to determine what exactly you need from the very beginning. After receiving the form we can estimate the time needed for your project. When everything is clear, send the necessary files and requirements to us and we’re ready to start.

If you do not like the design which we have suggested for you, we will discuss further with what type of design amendments you would like to see and then send another “suggested design” to you. We would not like to think that you are not happy with the final website design. Our aim is to design for you a website specific to your requirements which you are completely happy with.

Yes. Once the main page has been completed it will be uploaded to our server for your approval. After approval the rest of website will be developed.

You may provide us with any ideas you may already have for your website including rough sketches, photographs, existing branding and text. If you don’t have anything to provide, we can offer professional stock, commercial or corporate photography, logo and copywriter services for you. Whatever your web design needs are, our web design team can help you every step on the way.

Site maintenance is a monthly fee to keep your site updated with new content that you provide (depends on your package), code update and troubleshooting. Web standards change dynamically so, your website’s code needs to be updated accordingly.

Most good web sites have new content updated regularly. Fresh content is what will keep your visitors come back. Search engines like websites with growing and updated content and up to date code.

This is an optional service that we provide for our customers. If you want to maintain your website yourself you can do so. 

If you have a small website consisting of just a few pages and will only wish to make changes very infrequently, then usually it is more cost effective simply to ask AddVentuReDesign to carry out these changes for you.

We can provide an online content management system – CMS where you can either update individual products/pages/services/images/text or particular sections of your website like company news, galleries, blog.

While choosing a CMS (Content Management System) you may want to consider your needs before having any web design company start your new web project. You need to decide which elements/sections/pages … will be controlled by CMS and which ones will stay static. For example:

– I only want to change a few sections of my website (Vacancy, Calendar of Events, News, Products, etc.) and have a webmaster maintain the rest.

For more info about the CMS/DMS AddVentuRe.design offers you may go to our web services section. Depending on your web design requirements, we can provide you with website updating solutions that fit both your budget and needs.

No. While we do a basic submission to attempt an initial indexing by major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, etc. it is not designed to boost traffic to your site. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Web Page Optimization (WPO) is needed to increase keyword targeted traffic to your website.

Nobody can honestly claim to do so because of the ever-changing algorithms and formulas search engines utilize. There are hundreds of different search engines and indexes all of which have their own method of determining what ranking they will give you based on a keyword search. SEO is dynamic and it depends on your competitors and their SEO budget and strategy.

Certain optimization techniques work in one search engine but are given less weight or even penalized by another. The overall strategy we employ is to try and find a happy medium and make sure your keywords are present where they need to be. Other factors such site popularity (determined by how many other popular sites are linking to you), keyword placement in your page titles, page text, alternate text for images and meta tags (special tags read by some search engines which contain keywords specific to your industry and the site content) will determine your site’s relevance vs. the keywords the potential visitor has typed in.

Take into consideration that your competitors optimeze their sites too.

We also will ask you to supply us with a preliminary list of “keywords” that apply to your industry that potential visitors would be searching for, together with your main competitors’ list.

Once your site has been submitted to the top Search Engines they may require several weeks, or even months to actually spider and list your web site in their directory. How fast your site is listed depends on each individual Search Engines database update schedule. Other factors may affect searchability and indexing too.

All our websites are created with search engines in mind and the website design is compliant with search engine guidelines. It is a good idea for your website to be re-evaluated in time as over a period of time the search engines do change their rules and algorithms and you will want to be sure that your website is kept up to date and complies with new rules.

We provide web tracking services which record where you visitors are coming from and which pages they looked at, which search engines are being used, which phrases are being typed into which search engines and many more interesting web tracking facts which you should find useful for future marketing campaigns.

Since no two web sites are exactly the same, a generalized pricelist doesn’t really apply. Unlike some other companies we don’t just use a series of templates. Everything we create meets the specific needs of what the site has to accomplish for you.

Typically we will quote a package price once we receive from you all website requirements via our “Website Quote Request Form” which gives us most of the key information required to provide an estimate.

There are quite a few factors that are going to affect the ultimate cost of your web site. These factors include how many pages you are going to have (if static website), if you will sell products on your website, the graphic work involved, and how interactive your future web site will be. This is just ABC.

The pricing for custom web design services varies on the following factors:

– How large or small will your site be?

– Who will be providing the text for the site? Will you need copywriter services to create your websites content? Is the existing text you have in Electronic format (ex. Microsoft Word / Excel / Copy & Paste).

– What technologies will be used?

– Are photographer services needed for your websites images? Or do you already have pictures for the new web design project?

– Is their any video footage, stock video, video conversion needed for your web project?

– etc.

We receive 50% of client’s estimated total as a deposit prior to beginning work. The final payment is due immediately upon completion of the project or sooner if web project is delayed by client. Or more in details, after completion we upload the website and CMS on our server and after receiving the final payment we transfer the site to client’s host, and give full access (of course depends on your package).

The way of payment depends on the country and the budget of the project. The project will begin once we have received a signed contract and downpayment.

We only do updates to websites that we design. Our minimum charge is £80 per hour but having said that, if only a small change is required, we usually don’t make a charge. The crharge mentioned is applied to static content without maintenance plan. It doesn’t include structural changes but only content updates. Code and functional updates come with another way of calculation.

In order to avoid misunderstanding and time killing we want you to spend some time on filling in our “website quote request form”. This is the first step to your order. It’s based on our experience and helps us to evaluate your needs, the cost and time for your project.

We’ll get back to you with more questions and offer the best options for your budget.
