Please see my Prices page for details

How long will it take?

We aim for a 1-2 week turnaround for a basic business card.

More complex solutions may take a few weeks to a couple of months depending on their size,

however in the meantime we are happy to implement a simple online business card whilst we work

on your final site.

How much knowledge do I need?

None. We take care of everything from start to finish. We simply need to ask for your expertise in

your field of business to guide us with the website detail. Without this detail there is no website! What is an e-commerce site?

E-commerce is a term for any type of business, or commercial transaction, that involves the

transfer of information across the Internet (this includes financial transactions). It covers a range

of different types of businesses, from consumer based retail sites, through auction or music sites,

to business exchanges trading goods and services between corporations. It is currently one of the

most important aspects of the Internet to emerge. What about search engines?

We will submit your website to search engines on your behalf. The main important issue with

search engines is patience, it can take months for your site to appear on Google. Likewise, search

engines like Yahoo and AskJeeves charge a fee for registration, but with patience, your site will be

found and included for free on many of these search engines. However, if you really wish to optimise your search facility with your website being picked up in

the early search result pages then I can arrange for this to be set up with Google, Yahoo, MSN,

Bing, AOL, Overture, Ask, Lycos and Excite for a small annual fee.

Once we know your requirements and client-base, we can advise you which search engines to

target as well as recommend alternative means of listing.

What is web hosting?

Web hosting is the process of putting your website onto a server which is connected to the World

Wide Web (internet). Large companies usually have their own servers, whilst smaller companies

tend to buy 'space' on shared servers. Butterfly web design uses a web host located in the UK

which guarantees 99.9% uptime.
