We are happy to consult with our clients on the phone, in person or email and we are more than happy to send you written details.

Domain name: (www.your-business-name.co.uk)
obtaining a memorable, short and relevant domain name that relates to your business is becoming increasingly difficult as most great sounding domain names have already been taken. The domain name (the name of your website) is often the first step to getting online. Domain names are also very inexpensive to buy, typically, around £10 for two years for a domain name ending in.co.uk, and you don’t have to have a website to own the name you like. Some people buy domain names while they are contemplating having a website built so no one else can buy it before they do. We would be happy to purchase the domain name on your behalf, or explain how to check availability and buy it yourself if you prefer. Please email or call us for further advise on this matter.

Web Hosting:
Once you have bought your desired domain name, you will need to obtain some hosting space, in other words, some hard drive space on an internet server to store your website on. We use UK web servers and offer amazing value for money. Just like the domain name, payment for web hosting space is a reoccurring payment; typically, we charge £35.00 per year. In layman terms, you buy a domain name (or we can buy it on your behalf), we configure the domain name to point towards our server (web hosting space) finally, we put your website onto the server. The result is your very own website. There are off course many drag and drop template driven DIY website builders available and most of them do a great job. However, there are usually a few hidden disadvantages, including, paying extra for very limited email boxes, expensive e-commerce add ons if you wanted to sell your products online with reoccurring monthly or annual charges, limited search engine optimization and layouts that are not always aesthetically pleasing. We develop the foundation of our websites using the very famous and solid WordPress. WordPress is so flexible in many ways, easy for visitors to read, great for search engine keywords, no reoccurring payments for having an e-commerce site and add-ons for every conceivable concept you can think of, some of the most famous brands in the world also use WordPress, including, Sony, UPS, Reuters and Best Buy to name just a few.

Business email:
Once you have your very own website, it makes perfect sense to have a relevant named email address to accompany your brand new website. Most of our clients tend to have their phones, computers and tablets synchronised together, for example, when an email is received, it can be viewed, moved to a folder or deleted from any of the configured devices mentioned and each device will see exactly the same. Presenting your customers with a business email, for example, info@yourbusinessname.co.uk, adds to your professional image. Virtually all business owners are naturally fantastic at their profession, but often lack the skills or knowledge to setup and use a relevant business email addresses and as a result may even revert to using gmail or yahoo email addresses. Attention to detail presents a great first impression to your customers. For example, if you wanted to know more about our services, which address generates a better impression, sales@go360designs.co.uk or go360designs123@gmail.com?
