I will work closely with you from the start, agreeing what the site will look like and what it needs to include. I will keep in touch with you throughout the design and build process to ensure you are happy with what is being built. If you don't have a website, I will build it from scratch. If you do, I will work with your existing provider wherever possible, to ensure a smooth transfer.

You can expect about a third of your visitors to use their PC to view your website - the rest will use their mobile phone or tablet. This is why all my websites are responsive - they change the display to fit the size of the screen. No more squinting at a tiny version of your website on a mobile phone. Try looking at this site on your phone or tablet!

Your existing site will be left in place until the new site is ready to go live. Wherever possible, I will work with your existing website provider to ensure a smooth transfer. Often, websites have been built by a society member who may be very interested in learning about Joomla (the tool I will use for building your website). Such a person will be an ideal candidates for managing the website once it is live. The new site will be built separately from the existing site and moved over to your website address on the live date.

For all websites, there are some small annual costs related to having a website: £55 - £100 per year for the web hosting company and £10 - £25 per year for your domain name (if it's not included in your web hosting package).

The cost for AmDram Web Design to build the site will depend on how much work is involved, which is really how much content and how many features you need. For a typical amdram society site, you can expect the cost to be between £400 and £450 depending on the amount of work needed. And you can rest assured that I will work with you to ensure you get the website you want for a really affordable price.

Don't forget that this is a one-off, one-time charge; I won't charge you any maintenance costs as, once the website is built and live, it will be handed over to you (together with a comprehensive set of user guides) and you will be able to manage it easily yourselves. There won't be any further costs unless, of course, you want something else adding later. 

Once the website is finished to your satisfaction we will agree a live date and I will work with the web hosting company to make the site live. It can take up to 24 hours for sites to be made live, especially if there is a transfer between web hosting companies. Once it is live, I will hand it over to the society for you to maintain it. Included in the price will be a comprehensive set of user guides on how to create and update content, how to add more users, and how to maintain the site regularly. Don't worry, it's all very easy. If you can use a web browser and a text editor (such as Microsoft Word), you will be able to access and update your website. 

Yes, of course. There are lots of companies who will provide you with the tools to build a website (some even include free web hosting). But you will be tied to choosing from a selection of fixed styles and may not have the choice of features you want. You will also need to invest considerable time in planning your site and learning how to use the tools. You may also end up paying annual maintenance charges or have advertisements on your site (these companies have to make money somehow).

AmDram Web Design will provide all the expertise, advice, features and styling you want and will do all the work for you - at a very affordable price.
