We
reason that even an imperfect website is massively better
than no website.
For
this reason, we are prepared to go against the advice we have
given in other pages about web design and produce a site from
your existing documentation.
For
people to whom cost is paramount, we will produce a very cheap
site, provided you follow the guide in the table.
You
will understand that we are offering neither innovation nor
sophistication.
We envisage a website of fixed information (who, what, why,
where, when, how) accommodated in four or five pages. (A page
is not a screen, it is a collection of logically-related information,
however long.) Additionally, it should have sufficient graphics,
such as logos, to "brand" the site and a limited
number of photographs to give it the right "feel".
It will look O.K. on the two most common screen settings and
will work on old browsers.
Navigation will probably be by underlined text as in the left
column.
The
obect is to get you from nothing to a working website as quickly
and as cheaply as possible. If we give good value for the
first website, we hope you will trust us with any development
from that site.
| How
to achieve a cheap website |
1.
Assemble the source text on magnetic media (floppy or
ZIP) or have it ready to e-mail.
You should have promotional material from leaflets to
flyers to articles.
|
4.
Know what you want beforehand.
You know what you want to say about your organisation,
particularly what makes it special.
You know your "house" style.
You know what other websites you like.
The more exactly you specify your requirements, the better. |
| 2.
Similarly assemble your photos or graphics. (A scanned
photograph may be too large for a floppy disk and too
slow to e-mail. Be prepared to post original or a ZIP
disk.) |
5.
Accept a, possibly, unexciting but safe website that will
work in all browsers and even in old releases.
If your organisation is not selling innovation, why would
you need an innovative website? |
3.
Be prepared to operate by e-mail, post and telephone.
When the Internet is the world brought to your desk, why
must we come in person?
The prices we offer provide thin margins. We cannot afford
non-productive time. |
6.
Opt for a fixed information website - one where the same
request is met with the same non-changing information. |
