Custom Designed Website using Macromedia Dreamweaver

This option offers a custom designed website* with your own domain name and own hosting (with all of the above). The cost of this package is determined by level of design and support required. After the initial meeting, a quote would be drawn up and discussed.

* Your web site is created incorporating your text copy, graphics and links received. Each site is carefully designed to look appealing and display well on a wide range of computer set-ups. Careful attention is paid to accommodate accessibility, different sizes of monitor, provide text legibility and easy navigation, and reduce page download times. A website needs to look great and be easy to use to give your visitors the best experience.
