Help I haven't a clue about how to get my business onto the internet!
OK don't panic because that is what we are here for. Setting up your website is essentially simple. You need...

3. A web designer to design and code the pages which you want to appear on the web.
Fortunately Recreative will help you every step of the way and set up everything for you, finding you a reputable and reliable hosting company providing all the services you will need. We can also set up email addresses, chat forums, hit counters, a database, shopping basket, checkout, money handling facilities and anything else you may require for your website.

How does my website get onto the internet?
We will set up your domain name and some server space (the hosting service) to which we will upload your webpages. Once uploaded anyone typing in your domain name will be able to see your website.

Once my web site is on the internet how can I get it listed in search engines?
Recreative will submit your site to all the major search engines for you and we will also search engine optimise your website to help it to get good search engine rankings.

What is "search engine optimisation" or SEO?
In a nutshell website optimisation involves designing the website content in such a way that it gets good rankings in the major search engines. As different search engines rank websites using different criteria it is impossible to guarantee top rankings in all search engines but by designing your content well, using meta tags and using a few tricks of the trade we can certainly help your customers find your page.

I don't want to get ripped off, how do I know if you are any good?
Well you can check out the "about us" section of the site to have a look at our experience by clicking here or you can view the portfolio of our previous work clicking here. Each of the pages contain feedback from our customers so you can hear from our past clients what it would be like working with us to produce you site.
The important thing to remember is that web design speaks for itself, if you like the look of our portfolio and you like what our previous clients have said about us then give us a call. We aim to beat any genuine web design quote and pride ourselves on our affordability.
We recommend that you phone at least 3 web companies for a range of quotes before deciding. Remember that the cheapest may not necessarily be the best so decide based on the quality of the portfolio, the extras offered and if possible meet the web design team in person to see if they are the type of people you can work with to see your project through.

Is this gonna cost me a fortune?

We can always provide you a free quote before we start the job so you can decide for yourself. Remember that web design prices have dropped significantly in recent years so don't be stung by companies which have refused to drop their costs. Recreative promise to provide you with an affordable high quality web solution.

Do Recreative Web Design provide domain names and web hosting?

Can I have animations on my website?
Yes you certainly can. We can place Flash animations or animated gifs onto your site and even make animated buttons, menus or sections which animate in response to your customers clicks. You can add movies and sound to your site too but you must be aware
of your website's download time. Too many large images and animations can mean your site takes so long to download that customers give up and move on. We can provide advice on the amount of animation you should include on your website.
|
I want a website I can update easily myself, is that possible?
Yes we can build you a Recreative Do It Yourself user interface which will allow you to add / remove and edit products or site content whenever you want without the need to constantly call a web designer. This essential means you can let customers know which products are in or out of stock, constantly update your stock list and change prices at the click of a button. If you are interested in that sort of website project then please have a look at our DIY packages.

I have an existing corporate image can you do me a website to match?
Yes certainly. We can create you a website with your existing logo, colour scheme, brochure layout, whatever you need so your existing customers will recognise your site.
|
Can you update my existing website? It looks so old-fashioned.
Yes we can do a website renovation complete with matching redesign of your company logo and promotional material should you need it.
|
What is 3D modelling?
We provide a service by which your products can be made into a 3-dimensional model then placed onto your website or CD-rom in the form of an interactive animation for clients to view. A 3d model of your product can be exceptionally useful if you are a company selling products which you really want your customer to get a feel for before buying. Clients can view interactive 3d models before buying. Interaction with the product and understanding it's dimensions can often help the product sell.
