just 29.50 a month - how's that possible?
Buying a web site is never likely to be a cheap undertaking - not if you want a good one.
Over the years the cost has come down a great deal - mainly due to competition and advancing technology. However, like everything else, there is a lower limit.
At 249 euros a year - for a fully-inclusive, custom-designed and well-hosted site, including personal domain name - it's unlikely to go any lower. Not without serious degrading of quality and service.
But even so, 249 euros is no small investment. Especially if you're just starting your business. Murphy's law says this is when you need all the advertising you can get - when you can least afford it.
And how about that substantial group of the un-convinced? Those wisely cautious beings who are still not sure that this Internet dot.com thing is going to be right for them anyway.
... that's why we invented a whole new idea!
We clattered our calculator keys, scrambled our spreadsheets and did our sums. We came up with a scheme especially designed to help precisely those two groups of people - those who cannot afford too much at the moment - and those who are not yet too sure about this new fangled Internet idea.
With our new plan you pay an initial low setup fee - to cover just that - the administration costs of setting up the web site and buying your custom domain name (www.mywebsite.com). From then on there's just a very minimal monthly fee - for as long - or as short a time as you need.
Even after one month you can stop - or go on month by month for as long - or as short a time as you wish. So long as you remain in credit, that's all you pay - just that small monthly cost - nothing more, ever!
You stop any time you want - immediately and without any further obligation. You even get to keep your personal web domain (www.mywebsite.com) - for free.
Now that's got to be a very safe and happy position to be in.
... but is gets even better
Any time within six months of stopping - you can start up your web again. Re-starting is free - there's nothing to pay at all.
We keep your web site 'on ice'. When you want it online again, just drop us a quick email. Within 48 hours it's up and running. No setup fees this time either. Because it's already set up.
And you can start and stop as often as you need.
Consider the advantages to a seasonal business. Or how about saving yourself that month's site cost when you're away on holiday? There's a whole bunch of reasons you might want to put it on hold for a while - and while you do, it costs you nothing!
Now that's just *got* to be a great idea.
... we call it Web Renting
There's a great Web Renting plan for each of our web site packages

Just so everything is up front and clear for everybody - there is a premium to pay for such advantages. The cost of a years Web Renting, including setup fee, is a little more expensive than a regular annual contract. That's only fair when you consider the benefits.
So that you know what the real differences are, we've done the 'sums' for you in the table below. We've done calculations over a two year period to allow for the Web Renting first year setup fee and so you can see the overall effect of each plan.

But you do have the choice. If you need a web site all year around then an annual plan is best for you. If you want to start and stop - or maybe funds are none too great at the moment - or you're not quite sure if a web site is the right for your business - then Web Renting is a great idea.
And when things change - when you see your web site really is going to be a benefit - or the cash flow is not quite so tight any more, then you can 'upgrade' for free to the more economic annual plan - and at any time you that suits you.
You get the best of both worlds.
... now here's an offer that could be difficult to refuse
If you only need a web site for the season - maybe 6 to 8 months a year - web renting is an easy and very cost-effective solution - you simply stop and start your web site as often as you like.
And while your site is inactive - you don't pay a single cent!

visitor statistics
In order to find out how well your web site is working for you, we can provide a professional web site tracking service that records the number of visitors, what pages they read and for how long, and a great many other useful statistics.
Although optional, we highly recommend this monthly service to find out just how well your site is doing and why.
web site hosting
Web site files reside on special computers (known as "servers") that are connected to the Internet 24 hours a day.
Our servers are based in a modern state-of-the-art facility which is situated in London's dockland close to Canary Wharf.
We include all web site hosting and e-mail services that will keep your site online and accessible to the public at all times.
We strongly suggest you avoid any "free" services you may be offered.
These are mostly unreliable and frequently have irritating pop-up ads that give a very amateur impression of you, your web site and your business
web maintenance
After the web site is completed and online, you have a choice of choosing a maintenance contract, or simply paying an hourly rate for any updates you request.
For very simple changes, such as modifying a few lines of text, there is usually no charge. Of course, you may also choose to do your own modifications.
For more involved changes to your site, such as adding new pages, complete revisions of pages, graphics work, etc., the fee is 3 euros an hour.
If you think that your web site will need updates on a frequent basis, you may opt to enter into a quarterly maintenance contract.
auto responders
An autoresponder is a program that immediately responds to any email request that is sent to a predefined address in your web site.
They are very useful for automatically sending out information such as price lists, latest news, directions and a hundred and one other bits of important news.
Once set up they are entirely automatic and respond immediately with their message to an incoming email requesting it - any time of the day or night.
Autoresponders provide instant information to any of your web site visitors that request it - immediately and without any work on your part.
