A web page gives you an online advertisement which is accessible 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year. The internet is a powerful information gathering tool which is growing and developing rapidly and is set to become a crucial marketing and promotional avenue as we progress into the 21st century.
How do I know what I need?Our design service takes you through a series of steps to help identify your requirements and all our sites are designed to be easily updated and amended so that as the business develops the site can too.
Do I need any computer skills to create and manage my web page?No, design and maintenance can be carried out by ASM Development but if you have a moderate level of IT experience we can provide you with software and training which will allow you to carry out routine changes of content.
In what format do I have to provide the content for the site?Any format is acceptable but the cost of creating the site can be reduced by providing us with the information in the form of Word, Excel or Access files.
Can my web site include pictures and photographs?Yes. Pictures and photographs can be incorporated into a website but caution must be exercised as they take time to download and can hinder the usability of a site - although broadband is increasingly common not everybody has it and it is good practice to design a site to load as quickly as possible. Where High resolution images are required (eg photographers, art shops, design studios) a low resolution with link through to high resolution image allows the user to make a choice as to whether to wait for an image to download. Pictures are best supplied to use in a suitable form such as .gif or .jpeg.
How can I measure whether my website is having a tangible effect?Traffic to the site can be measured for you. Monitoring of the source of new enquiries will also allow you to measure the benefits of your site.
Can I have more than website address?Yes. You can have multiple web addresses which can all be linked back to the same website. We will be happy to advise you on domains which can be 'parked' on your site which will help to make your online presence accessible.
