FAQs
How long does a website take?
This really depends on what you want your website to do and how many pages you need to do it. Hicks web solutions will work to an agreed timescale and invariably this is determined by the client. A meeting is normally arranged after contact is made and this allows both client and hicks web design to discuss the objectives, design and timescales.
What do I need to have a website?
There are three fundamental elements to a website. Firstly, you need a website to showcase on the internet. Secondly, you need a domain name. This will be the website address. For example; http://www.hickswebsolutions.co.uk is the website address for this site. You will need to find your own unique domain name. Thirdly, you need to get your website onto the internet. To do this, you need to have a hosting account which essentially is your space on the internet where your website can be found.
How do I get these items?
Hicks web solutions provide you with all three elements. The design, domain name and hosting account are all available here. As part of the initial meeting, your requirements will be discussed and a suitable package of services will be detailed for your consideration.
What is the cost?
The cost of a website varies depending on the site and complexity. A small website with two or three pages will cost around £250 for the design and £35 a year for the domain name and hosting account. The larger the site, so the cost rises. The pricing structure of hicks web solutions is extremely competitive and constantly reviewed for value and quality. If you need to get an idea of the cost of a website for you, then call hicks web solutions for an accurate estimate of the cost. An actual cost can only be given once your requirements are fully detailed and agreed.
