Design
At Express Print, our designers are experts in all the latest software and can create logos, manipulate photos, use 3D graphics and illustrations to enhance your web pages.
When designing your web site, we use the following programmes:
Dreamweaver ... Photoshop ... Freehand ... Illustrator
Fireworks ... Flash ... Frontpage
Once we have developed the basic look and feel of your site, we will submit it to you for your approval before going into production.
Production
Once you have approved the initial design of your site, we will then proceed into the production stage. We can use your existing company literature to produce your web pages. Text from your company brochures, profiles, product ranges, and price lists can be scanned into our computers and converted into web pages. We can scan existing images to include on your web pages. Other graphics such as icons, buttons, illustrations, photographs, charts, graphs, tables, diagrams can be produced or provided by you for inclusion on your web pages. If you do not have existing literature, we can help you to produce copy and can design logos for use on your Web Site. We will let you view your pages before they are uploaded on the World Wide Web. Once they have been approved by you, we will then upload your site. Your site can then be updated/changed as and when you require it to be. When designing your web site, we will keep future upgrades and expansion in mind since the first version of your site might not be the last!
Marketing
Web sites should be part of a balanced marketing budget.
Today the world wide web is the perfect marketing opportunity for your company, allowing you to compete with the large companies. We believe that the marketing of your web site is just as important as the design.
At present most businesses trade offline in the normal way. But soon your customers will trade online (if they are not doing so already!). This will give your competitors the edge. Most sites constantly evolve, even large sites are always upgraded and modified. There are opportunities to establish your company as a web brand.The web is here to stay and will be a major influence on most companies.
Once you have an informative and attractive site, you need to let your customers and potential customers know it is there. We can help you to market your site by printing stationery or direct mail literature to circulate with your products or service.
Simple rules are:
Make your site Attractive, Informative, Functional and Search engine ready.
Maintenance
At our initial meeting, we will discuss with you the maintenance of your site. It is no good if you let it become out of date! Your customers will rely on you to keep the information up to date and correct.
We will ask you questions like how often will you need to up-date your site and what pages will need to be up-dated. We can maintain your site for you at an hourly rate of £75 per hour minimum billing £25.
Site hosting per additional year including technical maintenance at £135 per annum.
