If your business isn't making the most of the Internet you will be losing customers and sales. The Internet is becoming an ever more important part of people's every day lives. Despite all the media stories about dotcom crashes and security fears more and more people are using the web to find information, buy goods and identify firms who can provide the services they need. To make sure that your business is making the most of this growing market you need a web site that enables your customers to find what they want quickly and efficiently.

To attract people and trade your site needs concise, relevant and up to date information presented in an attractive and clear setting.

At mersea web we understand that your business is unique and that your web site must be as well. For that reason it is impossible to give accurate figures for the production of any web site until we have carefully discussed it with you. The figures below should give you an idea of the costs likely to be involved:

Initial Construction: Creation of templates to use as a basis for site layout. (This includes: initial design of site structure; basic search engine optimisation; navigation; colour scheme; basic graphic creation, text only version of your site.)
Production of pages based on the system above (per page)
Provision of a shopping cart system
Dynamically driven pages using PHP
Updating services (per update cycle, monthly, weekly, occasional, etc). This figure is dependent on the type and amount of updating required.
Additional graphics work
Annual Hosting charges (small site, no extras) - larger sites with more features are subject to further charges

An average sized business web site of 10 pages, designed and hosted with us would cost £750 to set up and host for the first year. After the first year annual hosting fees would be £100 per year. Average annual costs for monthly updating are usually around £200.

Search Engine Services

Search engines & directories are the primary way in which people find web sites. If your site isn't highly ranked you will be losing sales or supporters.

To achieve good, targeted traffic your site needs to be search engine friendly with appropriate keyword phrases and regular submission & monitoring. We provide two Search Engine Service options: Basic and Advanced.

Basic Option:
As a matter of course your site's design fees include basic Search Engine Optimisation where we write your site's code to include the main features that search engine 'robots' look for when indexing your site. We will submit your site to 3 major free search engines and directories including Google and the Open Directory.

While this service is adequate for small sites we recommend our advanced option for larger sites.

Advanced Services:
Most Web users utilise search engines and directories to find what they are looking for, if you want to attract targeted traffic to your site you will need to rank in the top 30. To achieve a good placement your site will need to be fully optimized. It is not uncommon for many sites to be poorly optimized or not optimized at all.

The technology that drives the Internet is continually evolving. Flash movies, streaming media, broadband connections, mobile internet, PDA's and more, in fact the list goes on and on and on.

The problem is that these developments are not compatible with how the vast majority of people use the web. People want information and they want it fast.

Our web design philosophy:

Thankfully the days when all web sites were dotted with an array of flashing animated images have disappeared. Instead the new technologies are producing lots of very pretty sites that large numbers of people, including your supporters or customers, simply ignore.

So far none of the new technologies are anything like universal enough to convince us that sites can be safely written in them as a matter of course. Many of them are very useful in controlled settings or for the delivery of specific pieces of content but not for general use.

People still hate that '.......loading' message, they don't all have broadband connections and they often aren't prepared to download another plug-in for their browser.

At Mersea Web our philosophy on web design therefore remains that usability is the key: make it look good, keep it simple, quick to download, easy to navigate and above all remember that content is what people come to your site for.

The web remains what it has always been - information and images held together by hyperlinks. Users are trying to find that information quickly. If they cannot do that on your site they will simply move to another site where they can.

E-Business Solutions

By definition this is any business transaction that is performed online.

For any business, sales are the most essential factor. With this in mind it is important for our clients to have a secure system in place. This includes security for customers and clients alike, ensuring that all transactions are protected, be that consumer markets or business to business.

Our services include:

  • Shopping cart facilities
  • Product catalogues
  • Secure credit card transactions

  • Fraud prevention measures

I develop solutions that allow secure, real time transactions using latest firewall technology to provide measures for protection against fraud. Working in conjunction with our clients I aim to provide the most efficient solution for each scenario and are able to track sales through the whole online process. 

I also want the user to have a seamless experience and therefore create solutions to enhance this, thus promoting the brand at the same time as achieving excellent value from our user centred design techniques.
