Reply to: Website design and hosting for Ltd Co

[monkeyBoy32]

i'm also thinking of getting website set up for LTD co. Any of you guys got some examples of what you can produce and a range of prices. obviously it would only be a range and until you sat through my reqs it would be definite but it would give me / us an idea.

I did do my mates website the once but just can't be bothered doing my own as i treasure my spare time and everything else is busy working time for me.

Again, I would refer you to:

Have you tried
www.elance.com
?

You can even get someone to write your content with a more professional touch

Can anyone suggest a website design and hosting company?

I just want a simple website, nothing flash, to advertise my Ltd Co. I was quoted £1500 by a company whose name I forget just to set it up, but I thought that was a bit steep.

Cheers

I use www.1and1.co.uk to host my domain name forward to my free space from my ISP.

If you really don't want to design your own - then I would be happy to it for you - for a reasonable rate of course.

It's not the website design/build that takes the time - it's writing the content.

which you have to do anyway....

Cooper, if you want us to take a look, send me a PM, I'm sure we could come to some arrangement where you pay a little less than you are prepared to and a little more than we are prepared to do the work for .

Do it yourself.. don't need to bother with Dreamweaver and the likes either...

Just hand craft it in notepad (or vi if you are really hardcore )

Depends of course on what services you offer but if it's just boggo software consultancy or project management type thing you don't need flash graphics etc...

Yep - if necessary, get a load of templates off eBay or somesuch site.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll give it some more thought

I can arrange pretty cheap, reliable hosting and do your website too

Could you PM me also, please?

[r0bly0ns]

I'm about to start offering hosting and am currently updating my site but there's a portfolio on there: http://www.developdesign.co.uk/

Have a look - if you're interested, let me know your requirements.

Thanks for that.

I'll send you a private message with my requirements.

Drat, missed the boat

That's all fair enough but what about cross-browser compatibility and SEO and all the stuff that you need to consider when building a site no matter how small.

Regarding hosting - I would agree that there are some really cheap options out there but I'd always go with a company that I knew I could call 24/7 and get a response and that their servers were reliable..

yes but he's after a bog standard website for his ltd co, so I guess he's not too worried about that...

Absolutely - do it yourself.

you don't need to be techie. I'm not and have built MyCo's website.

You can buy a template if you want for less than £100. Stick it into Dreamweaver or some such program. You'll get detailed instructions on how to change the stylesheet, menus etc.

Web hosting can be bought for something like this for less than £10 per year.

I reckon total cost of mine was less than £100. The time taken to write the content was more significant but you'll need to spend that time anyway.
