Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.

What happens at the initial consultation meeting?

The initial meeting is so we can get to know you and listen to what you want from your web site.  We will then recommend to you how the work should be carried out.  For example, depending on the size of the web site and the amount of work it will take we will discuss with you how the work will be controlled.

If it is a small web site we will fill in a simple checklist of events and dates.

For a large or complicated piece of work we would arrange it into a project.  Which will be started for you with the order of your web site and end when the web is installed and has been signed off as completed.
