Hello. I'm Sean Warde and I have 15 years experience of designing and building websites for Businesses & Organizations in the UK, following some 25 years+ as an IT professional in the Corporate world.
Warde Web Design is a contituent part of Pennine IT Services which I set up 15 years ago to service all the IT needs of SMEs.
What software will be used to build my website?
Your new website will be built using WordPress (the world's leading content management system) as the framework.
The website pages will be built and styled using Divi, one of the leading and highly regarded WordPress page building systems, packed full of great features.
WordPress plugins will be used as and when required.
Does it matter where I am located?
Not at all. In this day and age of video calls location just isn't an issue. I have Clients UK wide and even one in the South of France!
So no, it doesn't matter where you are located, the quality of the service I provide you will not be affected whatsoever.
How much will my new website cost?
That all depends on the number of pages you want, and how many sections within each page. The more of each will determine how long it will take to build the site.
I base the estimated time in man hours it will take to build your new website on past experiance. I then multiply the number of estimated hours by my hourly rate, which is £30+VAT. to construct my quote.
So, for example, if the estimated time to complete is 20 man hours, the cost would be 20x30 = £600+VAT. If the estimate in man hours is 30, then the cost would be 30x30 - £900+VAT. Etc. etc. etc.
On acceptance by you, the quote stays fixed, unless you decide during the build that you require more pages. In that eventuality, I would provide you with a further quote for the extra work.
How do the maintenance charges work?
The norm is that I charge maintenace on a pay-as-you-go hourly rate basis. Most of my Clients prefer that approach rather than a fixed price monthly maintenance contract, as in the long term it proves to be the least cost option.
You can, howver, opt for a fixed price monthly maintenance contract if you'd prefer.
It's your choice.
Will I own the domain and website?
Yes. if I buy the domain on your behalf, it will be registered in your name, not mine, so you will own it. The website I build for you will become your property on payment of the final invoice.
Can Email be provided also?
Yes. As well as being a Web Designer, I'm also a Microsoft Partner, specialising in Microsoft 365. So, I can provide you with domain based email accounts, provisioned through Microsoft 365. I can create and activate as many email accounts as you require.
Will I be able to make simple changes to the website?
Absolutely yes! Because of the toolsets your website will have been built in, it will be easy for you to make simple changes with no need for any coding skills whatsoever.
I will provide you with login credentials to the backend of the site and show you how to do things such as adding / changing images & text, making blog posts (if applicable) or adding products (if the site is e-commerce) at no extra cost.
I would recommend, however, that I make major changes (such as building new pages or extra sections within existing pages) as a pay-as-you-go maintenance activity.
Can the website be extended as time passes by?
Yes. The website can be grown and extended over and above the initial build. This is particulaly useful as and when your business changes or grows.
My question isn't listed in the options above!
No problem. Feel free to give me a phone call on 01623 650309 and I'll answer any questions you may have.
