"I have been extremely impressed by her ability to grasp hold of a brief and to respond quickly with work of the very highest quality at cost that represents excellent value for money."

Your website needs a home!

<< Back to 'What I do'

Once a website has been designed and created, it needs to be made visible to the wider world. This process involves:

obtaining a domain name (an ‘address’ on the web)
uploading the website files to a server connected to the internet (hosting)

Domain Names

If you don’t yet have a domain name, I can advise and register your domain name for you. I insist on registering the domain name in your name – so if you ever need to transfer the domain elsewhere, you are free to do so.

Hosting

Ensuring your website is hosted with a reliable hosting company is crucial. No-one wants frequent, unplanned ‘downtime’ for their website – which is why I use a high quality, reliable and UK-based hosting company with a good support service. The UK location is of particular importance if you have a UK customer base combined with a domain name which is not UK specific (e.g. ‘.com’ or ‘.net’).

Email

If you have your own domain name, it’s likely you’ll want email addresses to match. For a start, it’s likely to give a better impression than a yahoo or hotmail address. I can provide you with multiple email accounts linked to your domain, which can be accessed via your own email client (such as Outlook or Windows Mail) or via webmail.
