Web Site Design - Made Simple

Our web designers have been developing web sites since 1995, so we guess by now we know the market and understand our customers.

We provide 3 basic products, all built around value and functionality with each product offering functionality, flexibility and support.

Budget Web Site Design

Using our own unique content management system, we can provide you with a web site for £250 in one day.

This package includes the choice of one of three standard templates, and relies upon you providing us with content for each of the agreed sections. A typically example of what to expect is managing-it.com developed for an independent IT Management company.

Additional costs include a 12 month rolling support and hosting contract (£20 per month + VAT) which is required to run the software on our servers, and any additional photography and artwork.

Our support and hosting package includes ongoing changes and updates to your web site, any additional pages, functions or content is charged on an as needed basis, typically at around £46.00 per page.

Corporate Web Design

Out typical corporate sites are aimed at companies who what something special. This may include certain aspects of creative design, on-line brochures, ordering or product information databases.

Each of our corporate solutions carries an individual design and relies on a detailed understanding of customer requirements and function.

As a result prices for this service vary dependent upon the level of complexity and also the involvement of the client. As a rough guide a client should expect to pay in the region of £5K - £10K.

Bespoke Internet Development

Some clients like to take it one step further and plug the gap in their supply chain between office based systems and customer or supplier.

Here at Random Developments our staff have had over 10 years experience of integrating such systems with on line solutions. Our developers have been involved in integration projects with Vax Mini Computers, AS400, Pic, Unix, OS2, Oracle, SQL Server and Windows operating systems.

Due to the complex nature of this type of project, clients should be considering a budget in excess of £10K.

Understanding What You Get

Over the year's we have come across far too many companies who promise the earth and deliver very little in terms of functionality or business benefit, and when they do there are far too many hidden costs.

We believe in an open and honest approach to our customers and prospective customers from the start. This is why we make a full disclosure of all costs and expenses up front, and have chosen to publish these costs on our web site for all to see. We realise that this does give our competitors an advantage, but frankly we believe important business decisions should be made on value, not cost.

Our hosting support agreements are very simple and contain no hidden extras. Each web site sold must be hosted on our dedicated servers to allow it to operate, and comes with a 12 month rolling contract for hosting and support. We will not host our applications any where other than on our own servers as we feel that this compromises both our quality of service and support.

Support consists of ensuring that your web site is operational, carying out regular maintenance on the web site to ensure that it remains so, and performing any changes to the editable content of the web site as and when directed.

Support costs vary upon the size, complexity and resource requirements of each project. Support for our Budget Web Sites is fixed at £20 per month + VAT. Hosting and support for Corporate Sites starts at £60 per month, where as Bespoke projects may require their own dedicated server.

All support fees are payable by Standing Order on the 1st of the month, for the month in which the support is due to take place. Obviously if we are not paid on time then support will be withheld until the account is up to date.

We will also setup and configure your own web site analytics and provide you with an account from which to view the results. This not only helps with the analysis of search engine and site traffic but also integrates immediately with any on line ad-word campaign you may embark upon at a later date. Training and consultation on traffic driving strategies and ad-word campaigns is available as an additional service.
