Low cost web design for small businesses, charities and organisations
If you are a startup business with little budget for a website, an existing company in need of an online presence or a charity or not-for-profit organisation who wants to be found on the web, The Proof Fairy offers low cost web design, creating websites that perform well on search engines and will help people find out more about you.
Using WordPress for low cost web design
WordPress began life as a platform for blogging but is fast becoming one of the best content management systems around. It’s easy to use but can be time consuming to set up, especially if you aren’t familiar with how it works. Your website will have around half a dozen pages, a contact form and a blog that you can update easily with news, events and more. You’ll also receive a manual to show you how to maintain and change your website, and 30 days’ telephone and email support.
Before we start …. two things you need to know:
1. Low cost web design is just that … low cost! To keep costs low your website will be based on a WordPress theme which can be tweaked to give you what you want. This means that your website will be structurally sound, professionally presented and easy to navigate, but without all the “bells and whistles” of more expensive websites. There are thousands of themes available so your website won’t look like everyone else’s, and your website will be online within days and at a fraction of the cost of other sites.
2. The Proof Fairy cannot guarantee to get you onto page one of Google. In fact, no one can guarantee to do that. During the design process we will use a range of SEO (search engine optimisation) techniques to give your website the best chance of ranking well for relevant keywords. We can also offer advice on ways to promote your website that will improve your search engine ranking.
Now that’s out of the way, this is what you’ll get for yor money.
