Frequently Ask Questions (FAQs)

Bandwidth needed = average page views × average page size × average daily visitors × number of days in a month (31) × redundant factor.

The redundant factor is a safety factor ranged from 1.3 – 1.8. Typically this would be 1.5.

This is like the “how long is a piece of string?” question as every website has different requirements. Until we sit down and discuss these requirements it’s virtually impossible to give a figure, but as a very loose ball-park guide:

• £1,200 – £1,800 for a simple brochure style website based on an existing theme or template.
• £850 – £1,900 to add e-commerce functionality to the above.
• £1,500 – £2,700 for a customised / bespoke theme.
• £3,500+ for a customised / bespoke theme plus e-commerce functionality.

These are only very basic guide prices as there will most likely be other influencing factors that can affect the price such as extra bespoke functionality and customisation. Design and whether graphics, including logos, are supplied, sourced or created. The number of products and their variations that we have to add. Social media integration, photography, copy writing and so on.

The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 provides copyright protection to any literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, film or broadcast work that falls within the Act’s definition of originality when it was created. The creator of an original work gains exclusive rights for its use and distribution. The copyright protection is automatic it does not need to be registered.

When a website is created the copyright protection will most likely exist in relation to:

• the text on the site – which can be protected as a literary work;
• the images on the site – which can be protected as either artistic or photographic work;
• the clips or videos on the site – which can be protected as a film and or dramatic work.

A blog is a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style. In many business WordPress websites this would be setup as the news section and take a more formal approach.

Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time period (usually a second). It is normally offered by hosting companies in Gigabytes (GB) per month.

Website or web hosting is a service that allows organisations and individuals to post a website or web page on to the internet. A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website or webpage to be viewed on the Internet.
