Questions about a website for your Telham business
Is a website worth it in a place of 827 people?
Yes. Customers from across Rother search before they travel, and a website is how they find you. It also answers the basics (hours, prices, location) without a phone call.
Who keeps the website up to date?
Email us the change (new prices, photos or services) and the team updates the site. Content changes are part of the monthly fee.
What about my domain name?
If you already own one, we connect it to the new website and your email. If not, tell us in the sign-up and we will help you pick one, by email.
Who writes the text and picks the photos?
Phone photos of your real work often work better than stock images. Email them with your logo and a list of services.
Do we need to meet?
Everything happens by email: you send material and change requests, and you check the whole site on a temporary link before anything is published.
Is there a minimum contract?
You can stop the service whenever you need to; there is no setup fee and no long-term commitment.
Do I pay anything to get started?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the £69 monthly fee once you have approved your website. No lock-in contract. You can stop the service whenever you need to.
