We Create Innovative Solutions for Excellence and the Future

Yes, absolutely. Your website is fully portable. I build websites specifically to avoid vendor lock-in, meaning you are free to move your site to any hosting provider at any time.

As you own all the files and code once the project is complete, moving is straightforward. If you choose to switch hosts, I will provide you with:

• The complete set of website files (code, assets, theme files).
• A full, current copy of your website's database.
• All necessary credentials and configuration documentation.

While I recommend staying on my managed, high-performance UK hosting for guaranteed security and speed, you have full control and freedom over your hosting choices.

Yes, absolutely. Once the project is complete and the final payment is made, you retain full, unrestricted ownership of your live website and all its components.

My philosophy is that you should always own your digital assets. This includes:

• Content and Data: You own 100% of all the text, images, branding, and customer data collected by the website.
• Domain Name: Your website address (e.g., yourname.co.uk) is registered in your business name, ensuring you have total control over your online identity.
• Design and Structure: You own the final visual design, the overall site architecture, and the necessary licensing for the underlying code.

I ensure that you receive all necessary files and credentials so that you are never locked into my service and have complete freedom to manage or move your website at any point.

Your online shop will be set up to accept the most popular and secure payment methods used by UK consumers. Unlike my design fees (paid via GoCardless), your shop will use dedicated payment gateways to handle customer card details.

I will integrate your store with industry-leading platforms like Stripe or PayPal. This allows your customers to pay using methods such as:

• Major Credit and Debit Cards: Including Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro.
• Digital Wallets: Seamless, fast checkout via Apple Pay and Google Pay.
• PayPal: Customers can use their existing PayPal account for convenience and added security.

We ensure that all payment transactions are handled securely by the chosen gateway (which includes mandatory SSL encryption) to give your customers confidence when buying from you.

Yes, social media integration is standard and essential for every modern website I build. Ensuring your digital presence is connected is critical for cross-promotion and growth.

We integrate your social media profiles into your website in various ways, based on your specific needs, including:

• Branded Icons: Clean, professional icons linking directly to your key social profiles (e.g., LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) in the header and footer.
• Social Sharing: Implementing easy-to-use buttons that allow visitors to instantly share your blog posts or services on their own networks.
• Embedded Feeds: Integrating secure, live streams from platforms like Instagram or Twitter directly onto your homepage or dedicated pages.

During our consultation, we will map out the best strategy to leverage your social channels to drive maximum qualified traffic back to your new site.

Yes, there are essential, low-cost ongoing fees required to keep any professional website secure, online, and performing optimally. Think of it like owning a car—it requires fuel and MOT to stay on the road.

The core ongoing costs include:

• Domain Name Renewal: A small annual fee to keep your website address (e.g., yourname.co.uk) registered in your name.
• Website Hosting: The cost of the secure, high-performance server space that keeps your website accessible 24/7.
• Security and Software Updates: The frequent updating of your website's underlying software (CMS, themes, plugins) to prevent security vulnerabilities and ensure compatibility.

To ensure your site is always protected and updated without hassle, I offer a range of comprehensive Maintenance Packages designed to suit all business sizes and needs. These packages cover all necessary renewals, security updates, and provide continuous support, all paid for simply and securely via GoCardless.
