We often get asked  'how much does it cost to build a better web presence'.  To answer this we have provided links to a number of sites we have built to meet a range of budgets and requirements.

It is our objective to reuse the work and modules we have developed for our own sites and our clients which we tailor and adapt to our clients preferred look and feel. This allows us to provide our clients with outstanding value, usually with no software licence fees to pay.  In most cases we will host the site and provide support for any major changes with our clients taking on the simple tasks of updating the day to day content. 

For the more complex sites we use prototyping tools so the client gets to see what the site will really look and feel like at a very early stage before we have committed to the majority of the build cost.

The specification, design work and any prototyping is undertaken in the UK with any major development undertaken in low cost offshore locations in Thailand and India to make our solutions competitively priced.
